we visited the grand canyon today. nothing seems to scare this little one! (don't worry, there's another cliff not too far below her, it just doesn't look like it from this angle!)  we kept both of the kids close the entire time we were there!

kenna doll fell alseep on john's shoulder.  that never happens. he was even able to put her in bed without her waking up.  that never happens either.  she slept for two hours and still went to bed on time.  that never happens.  i was afriad she was coming down with something but thankfully she didn't.

today was the first time we had snow that was good enough to make a snowman.  john and greyson played outside for hours.  they rode the fourwheeler, shoveled the sidewalk, and built the snowman.  they were so proud.

i was in bed when i realized i hadn't taken a picture for the day so i grabbed my camera phone of the night stand.  it was completely dark so it lit up before taking the picture and my husband was mid laugh, mid, "what are you doing?" funny!

the kiddos were snuggled together on top of daddy watching a little tv before bed.  they make me smile!

our friends, matt and alicia, asked us to go to our high school's basketball game.  i wasn't planning on going because i knew kenna would not sit still for it.  the hubs talked me into it and i was completely right, it was awful! but what do i expect from an almost 2 year old.  i wish this was a better picture because they all four were dancing like crazy kids while the band was jamming during warm up.  it was too cute and they had quite the audience.  love these kids!

my husband, john, is a salesman.  here he is hard at work...he wasn't thrilled i was taking his picture.

one of the reasons i love my husband is he can go into our kitchen, look around for a few minutes and find something to make out of whatever we have on hand. he amazes me when he does that cause it's definitely not my thing! he whipped up this pizza out of pita bread, cheese, sausage, tomatoes, green onions and cheese.  it was delicious!

scavenger hunt sunday

sundays are wonderful.  i love spending time with my family and going to church. i also love that i get to play with my camera.  i recently got photoshop elements 10 (i've never had an editing program before...i've just used a free online service).  however, i want to step it up a little with this hobby of mine.  i've been busy watching tutorial after tutorial trying to learn the software.  i apologize if my photos look over processed.  you know, when you learn something, you often go overboard...:)  hopefully i'll get it figured out sooner rather than later. 

here are my interpretations from this week's scavenger hunt.  as always, thanks ashley for this challenge (i'm super impressed with her...she has left a comment every week i've participated.  i never expected that!)

1. love

my husband surprised me this week with flowers, candy, and this teddy bear at work.  what a sweetie!

2. duplicated 

these are the same flowers...duplicated in this picture. :)  i love that he got me a variety of colors. way to go hunny, really!

3. trending

i really hope i'm not breaking the rules, but i do not have a photo for this one.  i have resisted joining the twitter world, so i have no clue what is trending according to twitter.  i don't know how everyone keeps up with everything. between my two blogs, facebook, and pinterest, i just don't want to add one more thing. 

4. paper

i've been on a reading kick lately.  especially books that can help me be a better person.  in december i started working out and watching what i've been eating.  this book is a wonderful resource and has equipped me with scripture and the drive to be healthy. 

5. plastic  

i have a love/hate relationship with these plastic magnets.  they are on my fridge.  i love them when they entertain my kids while i'm trying to cook. i  hate them when they are scattered all over the floor. :)

until next time...
