New Blog

Hey everyone! I started a new blog for all to come check out. www.scrappingbyleslie.blogspot.com

It's still in the works, but be sure to add it to your blog list and check back often. It will be so much fun!

Ice Skating

Tim had a day off of work so we went ice skating. Hailey loved her skates but didn't want to try the ice. Isaac did really well. Tim and I didn't get as much time on the ice as we would have like because the kids were being pills. Next time it will be just Tim and I.

Turkey Time!

My mom came over to my house today to instruct me on the art of cooking a turkey. I was given a turkey a while ago and decided to unthaw and cook that darn thing. I've never done this before and can't thank my mom enough for teaching me her mad skills and taking some fun pics!

Love Actually!

I have to share this new website with all I know. This is the place to go for cute ideas for romance on a budget. My darling cousin started this and she is full of amazing ideas. Just click on the Love Actually icon on the side of my blog and enjoy. It's soooo fun!!!

Look Mom I Can Fly!

Each Saturday Tim fluffs our big pillow. After that chore is completed he treats the kids by making them fly. The pictures may not be all that great, but you get the idea. It makes me want to be small enough to get thrown like that!!!

I Done Got Tagged!

6th pic in my 6th folder!


This pic was taken at dinner time. I had left my jacket draped over the chair and Isaac thought it would be fun to wear my jacket while still on the chair. I have to admit that it turned out pretty funny.

I tag Jessica, Nancy, Jenny, Cherilyn and Gill!

New Church Clothes

Isaac and Hailey were in desperate need for new church clothes. They both love them and I had to post how cute they are!

My First Time Skiing!

Tim and I took a Saturday and went to Sundance for my first skiing experience. I had sooo much fun! I only fell 14 times!! It was the perfect day to ski. My legs were hurting so bad by the end of the day, but it was worth it.

Valentines Dinner

My sister and I made a yummy dinner for our husbands for Valentines. We had this great idea to put rose petals all over the table, which made it beautiful. My brother-in-law Jim had other plans for the petals!

Chocolate Strawberries!

There is an art to feeding your loved one strawberries. I don't think we figured it out!

My Valentine

Valentines has come and gone and I haven't posted anything about our holiday. Here is a cute pic of Tim and I at our ward party. I will post more pic of our fun Valentine night later.
Now I just want everyone to know what a wonderful husband I have. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He works hard during the day to support us and studies all night to make our future better. He makes me smile everyday and lets me know each day that he loves me. I couldn't ask for more. I don't know if it's possible to completely describe the happiness I feel that he and I will be together forever. Many people don't get to see this, but Tim is one of the funniest people I know. He can always make me laugh. Even when I'm really mad, he can usually always get a smile out of me.
He is a wonderful father and even better husband. I'm blessed to be loved by such an amazing man.

First Major Accident!

So about an hour or so after her first haircut came her first big owie! Hailey fell off a recliner head first and face planted it on the cement floor. Her top teeth went all the way through her bottom lip. We contemplated a while whether to take her in and have it looked at, but my sister-in-law(she's a nurse) said that it would probably be okay. It was sooooo sad. I've never seen that much blood come out of either of my kids mouths before. She's doing okay, it just hurts her.

Hailey's First Haircut!

I told everyone that I wasn't going to cut her hair. I wanted to let it grow super long. Well, now that it's shorter I'm so glad I let her get it cut. It's SOOOO cute!
My sister-in-law Lisa painted her nails while getting it cut to keep her still. She was so good during it all. So she was super pampered, nails and hair!

Ms. Independent

Hailey was asking for something to eat and we weren't getting it fast enough. We found her climbing in the pantry, crying because she was stuck!

Waiting for Baby!

Baby Jack finally came to us on Feb. 3. 2009! He is so adorable. Here I am with my sister-in-law and mom-in-law waiting to here Jack's first cry!
