I love having a two year old...

...because you can find an excuse to do this!! Grandma Dougherty had some fun masks that she let Maddy play with and of course Maddy wanted everyone to be in on it. It made her day when we all agreed.Maddy and I (She is the dragon - she asked Santa to get her a dragon for Christmas this year. Besides princesses it is her favorite thing to play. I am the little boy in the background)

Two of my favorite dragons (Maddy and Daddy)

A Dragon, bunny (grandpa) and a bumble bee (Uncle Aaron)

Fun in the Vegas Snow!!!

So today I was in charge of the babysitting coop and boy did we have fun in the snow here in Vegas. Here are some fun shots of what we did!

Biggest Loser Finale Tomorrow Night!!

I am so excited because tomorrow night is the Biggest Loser Finale. I don't watch a lot of TV except an occasional Oprah, American Idol and B.L. A few friends will be coming over to watch the finale with me. If anyone that reads my blog is here in Vegas you are welcome to join us. We will be having our own contest - who can make the yummiest snack with the lowest amount of calories. I am excited to get healthy dessert/snack ideas.

Here are two of my favorite people on Tuesday Nights. They do such a good job promoting healthy eating and exercising. I would have to say though that Jillian is my favorite of the two. She just knows how to win the game and she tries to change people from the inside out.

Here's my rant: I will cry if Vicki wins tomorrow night. She is so mean and thoughtless. All she cares about is herself. I really want Michelle to win, but won't be sad if Heba wins.

We shall see!!

We Love Santa Claus!!

Jay and I took the girls to see Santa last Friday. We thought Madelyn would be too scared to sit on Santa's lap , but she did and asked for presents for Christmas. Then a friend of ours (Brother Stringham or "S") in our ward came over to watch a show on Monday night with Jay dressed as Santa from a party. Maddy was still awake so we brought her out to see Santa. The reaction and look on her face to see Santa in "her" house was absolutely adorable. She has been talking about it for days. In fact last night she sat on the couch, said ho, ho, ho and then asked me to sit on her lap. I did and as I was getting up she proclaimed, "Mommy your fat! You gotta big butt!" Where did my sweet two year old learn the "B" word. AHHH!!! And hopefully she won't be that frank and truthful with anyone else. Anyway here are some cute pictures from our visit with Santa and when Santa came to our house.

I Love My New Hair Cut

Chopped my hair off and I love it. Here are before and after shots.

My New Kitchen Cabinets

Well here are some pics of my newly painted cabinets. I took pictures before I started painting to get a good before and after shot, but I can't find the before shots. I did find some "painting in action" shots of Maddy and I. I absolute love my kitchen now!!! Painting the cabinets made my kitchen feel new to me.

I am back!!

Sorry to all those who check my blog. I have had the craziest month and a kitchen remodel (I will never paint my own kitchen cabinets again - especially with a crawling baby). Here are some fun pics from November.My Sister Collette and I at a BYU Football Game
