Bath Time

Just thought I would share a cute picture of Evie.

Huge Snowstorm today!

Wow! A lot of work!


We measured 13 inches, and it was still snowing


The kids in the snowpile on the curb


Sara and Robbie in the front yard




Looking out into the circle

The backyard

So we woke up this morning to a huge storm! We can't even get out of the circle, because the plows always seem to come to us last. Jeff is working from home today, and since it is a holiday Sara didn't have to go to school, so we are enjoying this!

Finally! I hung some decorations!

So it has been six months since we moved in, but I really haven't decorated yet. It isn't my favorite thing, so I have to work really hard at it. I got this cute shelf and the decorations for Christmas, and I finally hung it up! I am still trying to get the hanging pictures straight, but thought is was cute and wanted to share!

Robbie-isms!!!!

So today we were sitting in Sacrament meeting, and Robbie said to me "Mom, I think you need your eyebrow hair cut"!!!! Yes Rachel, my eyebrows do need to be waxed!!!

A few minutes later he leaned over to me and said "Mom, did the Lord really command Nephi to go and get the plates, in real life?!!

So fun!

Robbie loves playdough!

The other day Robbie was playing with playdough, and he was having fun with a playdough toy that you can push playdough up through his head and make his hair grow. Well, he put on a certain head top, and said "Mom, this looks like Grandpa Wilkey"!!!

Crazy Evie!

So I have been really sick this week with a fever, horrible cough, sore throat, etc. It hasn't been fun! So Evie and I were home from Church today, and I went upstairs for a minute, and when I came to come back down, she was half way up the stairs! I have never seen her do that before, and with a little promting from Sara (she just got home from church), Evie made it all the way up! Now we just have to teach her how to go down and we are set!
