Princess Tea Party

the princess tea party was held at the Armstrong Mansion and was so fun to see all of the little princesses. here are a few pics of my favorite princess, Princess Adalynne.

Spring 2010

Oh how we love spring, the parks, and the crazy kids so excited to get outside finally and play.

yeah it has been awhile. So, here goes:

Addy's birthday was fun. we had a pink princess cake that she absolutlely adored.

I bought a fancy new bike that I love and want to do a sprint triathalon this summer. we shall see, I really can't swim without a life jacket. thanks parents for building a pool after I left home.

Porter had a birthday and got a bike and we had a spiderman birthday cake. We had some friends over and it was so fun. thanks to everyone that celebrated with us.

Aaron graduated from Weber State with a masters in Healthcare Administration.

I ran the salt lake half marathon with my friend Tiff. (she kicked my trash, she is my inspiration)

We are remodeling the bathroom which is taking a lot longer than expected.

As for this last week both kids are sick now with fevers and crankiness. gotta love it. oh, and we could talk about the differences of when a boy gets sick vs girls. boys are such babies.

Don't they say something about idle hands, yeah we don't have any, especially the kids they are always into something.

dancing to girls just wanna have fun.

the kids love to have dance parties in the kitchen. they both have really developed some pretty awesome moves. their favorite song right now is girls just wanna have fun. So, here are some pics of the events. Porter was more photo friendly than Addy she did not to be documented.

Aaron would probably rather not have Porter documented either due to the really cute outfit he picked out.

CHRISTMAS 2009

Christmas is so fun with a 3yr old, and since Addy thinks she is as old as Porter she pretended to get it too. Porter was also very willing to help her open presents and play with her toys. We all received great toys. So, I got this fancy flip camcorder from Santa and made this little movie of our Christmas. but so far I cant figure out how to post it. I am not so tech savvy.

Ok I think I got it figured out......


Christmas was a success. As Porter says "well Santa ate the cookies and eggnog so he must have liked them and left us presents." later he said perplexed "but Santa forgot superman". ha ha you should have seen his list. Santa had to forget somethings. Thanks to everyone who sent holiday wishes and gifts. It was a very fun year.

So, we celebrated Christmas at home then we went up to Idaho and while getting ready for Idaho one of my favorite sayings came out. Aaron had been talking on the phone to his mom and handed the phone to Porter. Porter hit the ended button and threw the phone in a fit of frustration stating he wanted to talk to grandma, and Aaron says, "Well, you could if you just acted like an adult." ha ha ,don't we all wish our kids would act like adults sometime and then again it would not be as fun.

Idaho was fun we spent time with family and even got some adult time with Aaron's brothers and wives as we went to dinner and a movie. Aaron and I decided we just are not the movie kind of people we liked the movie but could not stand the hours of previews. It is so much better to watch them at home with the kids in bed of course.

We got a Wii for the family this year and I will admit that Porter kicks our trash in sword fighting, we lose in about 2.3 sec. But it has been fun to play with the family instead of watching TV most of the time.
