The Beautiful snow and my beautiful Choley

Choley is an amazing girl. I am so happy to have here around me. I had to take these pictures I thought that all of this snow would make a perfect background. And it sure did.

the beautiful snow with my beatiful Nattie

It dumped a ton of snow on us so far this week. It was soooo pretty outside that I made Nattie throw on this sweater and I took so pictures of her. I loved it in B/W. Isn't she beautiful? Can you believe that she is 10 years old already? Crazy huh?

We will miss you

What a wonderful man President Hinckley was. What a great loss this is. I am happy that he gets to be with his wife again. My friend drew this picture for me for Christmas.

It's a bird, It's a plane, no it's super Ella

Nattie and Choley always have so much fun with Ella. They especially love to dress her up in many differant costumes. But last night was a whole differant story. They made her into a super hero. Never have I felt so safe in my house I was so glad to have a super hero around to protect me. The costume was made up of... 1 paper mask tied on with string, 1 size 8 tank top, 1 size 6 shorts,1 super hero belt (which doubles as a real belt to keep her pants on), 1 hankerchief, 2 clothes pins to hold up the cape,.I was a little worried that she was going to fly away.

The side view so you can get the full effect.

The day 4 months and 6 days in the making

He's home from Qatar!!! what a great day this was for me. It still seems like a dream. The kids and I got to pick Nate up from the Boise airport on Wednesday the 9th and 1:00 p.m. I was so excited I almost cried!!! Just about the second he got into the car the kids started asking when we were going to open the Christmas presents we told them to let Nate settle in a little before we do that. So they did about 2 minutes from us walking into the door they started asking about the presents. But they still had to wait. Which was torcher for them. But eventually we got around to it. Nate brought the kids back a gold plated camel and he brought me a gold and white gold bracelt with a heart charm on it. It was very cute. I am so happy to have him home. We all missed him so much!!!

Tyler and Nate got this great book which is called The Dangerous Book for Boys it is for boys ages 8-80 and I get yelled at if I even touch it.

My new Hair color

I know it is very odd that I take picutres in my bathroom but, at night it is the best light that I can get and it is horrible lighting. and for some odd reason I never think to take pictures during the day. I have been thinking about changing my hair color to dark for a very long time so I decided that it would be the perfect time to do it right before Nate came home. I love the color it is only a few shades darker then my actual hair color with some red highlights in it. Thank you Lola for always doing my hair just right.

6 things most people dont know about me...

1. I used to be called Messy Jessie. Sure I was probable messy like any other kid but I think that it mostly comes from the fact that it rhymes. I hated being called Jessie (and still do) but it started because of that.

2. I love to read the tabloids. I dont really know why I just like to read them.

3. I have tried to give up Dr. Pepper to no avail about 15 times. I give it up everytime that I am pregnant but it is soooo hard. Not because of the caffine but I just love the flavor of it. It is one of the first things that I do in the morning. I get dressed, wake up the kids, and then pour myself a Dr. Pepper. I sometimes don't even take a swallow of it for 10 maybe 15 minutes but I have to pour one. I also won't let my family have a swallow of it until I have the first one. The first one is always the best.

4. I am one of those crazy people that dont neccesarily want to travel out of the country. I like to travel around the country but I am not so much hooked on leaving the country. Although I would like to go to all of the temples (a long shot I know) I havent figured out how I am going to do that and not leave the country.

5. I would love to write a preteen novel. I love to read soooo much that I think that it would be so much fun to beable to publish a book someday. I dont think that I could write for adults. But I think that I could write for a younger audience.

6. I absolutely HATE shoe shopping. I know GASP. A women that doesnt like shoe shopping as a matter of fact I dont really like shoes. I dont care how many shoes that I have. I dont care in what condition my shoes are in. Dont get me wrong I think that shoes are cute but all of the ones that I like they dont make in my gigantic size. So I get discouraged while I am shopping for them. I cry almost everytime that I go.
