A Christmas tree photo!
Abby got this very REAL (straight from Disney) Rapunzel dress for Christmas from Grandma Moore and Stockton wanted to try it on. He wanted it off faster than he got it on (phew!) and asked for a Flynn outfit!
Just another hat......
He asked for a newspaper, so I got him one! .... then snapped a picture!
Snug as a bug in a rug....of course in HIS spot!
Another hat......
Ready for school! That is what he told me!
Crazy hair, baby Sam, and his play gun.....of course you know it is a play gun....play gun just sounds better!
Aaron and I went to a Jazz vs Laker game! It was AWESOME and INTENSE!!! The Jazz won, and we couldn't have asked for a better game. I was hoarse the next day from all the screaming and yelling! In fact we are headed to another Jazz game tomorrow night (pictures to come, unless i loose them....) with the whole family. Abby LOVES the Jazz, and because she is going to a game she told me that her dreams are coming true now! Abby knows most of the players on the Jazz team by number or face, she knows the coach.....her favorite players are Big Al Jefferson and Gordy Hayward. Watching pregame is a favorite of hers, and we often find her yelling at the players, coach, and refs! I think Aaron and I are so excited to take her and of course Stockton will enjoy it. We have a lot to show him considering his namesake is John Stockton! It is so fun to watch our kids enjoy and love the same things that Aaron and I love! Thank you mom and dad for having season tickets and the hookups!!!
My great friend Cathi Webb was at the game that night as well, and we got matching shirts! I love that lady! She was the best neighbor, Young Women leader, and friend I could ever ask for!
Big Al in the middle. Took the picture for Abby!
Best Friends! When I look at Abby and Stockton and watch them.... of course they disagree and fight.....but they really do look out for each other and have the greatest relationship. Abby is the best big sister a mom could ask for, (and will be my babysitter someday!!) she understands example and responsibility, whether or not she always portrays is a little different, but Stockton really looks to her for guidance. I hope they have a strong bond for life!
Eating popcorn, a family favorite, in the man cave while watching sports, another family favorite! Makes me happy!
WARNING! VERY CUTE PICTURES OF ABBY:
My mom made this hat, isn't she amazing!!! Stockton has a red one!
School picture day!! (above)
Valentines Day 2012
I lost my valentines day pictures, but I did have a few on my phone.
It was such a great day!
Dinner was the best....home with the kids....I made ribs, potatoes, asparagus, and cupcakes! PERFECT! When Abby is older we will have a babysitter and we will go out, but for now I'll enjoy the moments with the kiddos!
CUPCAKES....A FAVORITE OF THIS CUTE GIRL AND ME!!!!
We also made the yummiest sugar cookies ever!!! The kids loved taking a plate of them to their "Pocatello Grandma," also known as MaryAnn Price! I will have to write more about her later.....she is amazing to us!
I went it and helped out at Abby's Valentine Day school party. It was so fun! I always love going in and helping out in Abby's kindergarten class. Abby loves school, and is in her element when she is there. Her teacher, Mrs. Jones, is amazing, who I have such respect for. It just amazes me to listen to Abby read......what happened to my little girl, she is reading now?? Tonight she got out of the shower, put lotion on, got dressed, and combed out her hair...and I said her, "do you even need me anymore!" She replied, "mom, you are still bigger than me, but do you think I can learn to drive now??" The older she gets the more pressure I feel as a parent to teach her everything, how to choose good friends, help her establish a strong testimony, firm foundation, and all of that! The world is scary, and thinking about my little girl being in it scares me, makes me choke back tears! So i will continue to pray and have faith and strengthen my own testimony..... !
( I also better pray that I can keep up with this "journal blog" !!!) And I'm going to continue to look on the bright side...!

So sorry to hear about your pictures getting lost/deleted or whatever happened to them. That has happened to me before and I did cry. It is such an awful thing! BUT there should be a way to get them back. Kevin ended up finding mine. I think he restored the computer back to a time when I knew the pics where there...he did some kind of computer magic and got them back! I'll ask him what he did for sure and let you know. There still MAY be hope for your pics!
I totally know what you mean about Abby getting being so grown up and in a scary, scary world! I guess all we can do is our best to teach them and put our trust in the Lord. It's SUPER hard to let go though. I can't believe this school year is almost over! I am SO not ready for 1st grade; all day school, every day??? Heigan goes from 8-12 every day right now so It's going to be an adjustment.
Oh, losing pictures is the worst! I've never lost any myself but I would totally freak out. And I would cry- a lot. So sorry that happened to you. Pictures are like a journal themselves, so to lose them is tragic. Glad that you had a few pictures on your phone.
So great that you're taking this trial (I totally think it's a trial) and doing something great with it- making the blog a journal. Can you imagine if our parents would have had blogs? That would be so fun to go back and read those. Glad our kids will have our blogs to read back on some day, and have pictures to go with lots of the journaling experiences. Technology truly is a blessing.
Good luck with your journaling project!
And I love your Jazz sweatshirt- it's awesome! And I love that Abby is such a sports nut. That is really the coolest thing ever.
