Weird...and Weird is good :)

This is a girl after my own heart! Only Avery can pull off this look. She is so funny and I'm so fascinated by her every day. Harley comes and grabs me and silently says, 'You've gotta go upstairs and take a look at our daughter.'...
.....
She did this all by herself :)
Oh man. This kid is so creative and smart!

So, today I've been going through random pictures...

....And came across some really great ones :)
Here's Avery asleep at the dinner table. A pretty rare event if you
know anything about this little girl. She NEVER sleeps unless forced.
.
So glad I was able to capture this.

Cash on the other hand is a very good sleeper. He's done this a few times
and I finally captured it :)

This picture was taken by Grandpa Roskelley over the summer.
We were at my parents ward party of some kind...I think they were
playing softball so, we went along.

Here's our little man enjoying Grandma and Grandpa Meyers Christmas present.
He climbed under the desk I have in the kitchen and went to town.
For some reason he LOVES to climb into/under things :)

Here he is enjoying a book he and Avery got for Christmas.
I'm so glad both my kids love books as much as they do!

Today I'm great~full for the term 'starting over' I don't do New Year's
resolutions but, I'm ALWAYS starting some 'things' in life over and over :)
Whether it's remembering to have patience with my kids
or
having patience with Harley
or
myself I'm constantly picking myself up and starting again :)
It's a good thing we have that opportunity because I for one am someone
that is constantly doing it!

New Year!

So, poor Harley had to work EVERY holiday this year. That poor man totally got the shaft :(
The kids and I took him dinner to his work last night so he could
get SOME enjoyment out of New Years.
.

My family came to my house to help ring in the New Year. We had a lot of fun
eating, playing games and celebrating. Harley made it home around 11:30pm...just in time
for a New Years kiss :)....then off to bed to be back at work at 6:30 this morning.
.
I have a really good man. He works hard to provide for this family and I
am SO great~full for that!
.
Happy NEW YEAR!

Christmas.. ..

Ok....so, I didn't get ANY of my own pics on Christmas :( My camera is messed up and I just need to get a new one. No phone pics either because I kept losing my phone Christmas Eve and morning. I'm going to be stealing a lot of pics from my mom and Jess ;)

Avery got a few Dinosaur items from Santa :)
Me and the kids spent the night at my parents house Christmas Eve because Harley had to work until 11:30 that night and go right back in Christmas morning at 6:30 :(....we certainly missed him and I made sure we didn't do 'Christmas' at our house until he got home so he wouldn't miss it :)

I think overall the kids really enjoyed themselves. Cash was WAY too stimulated Christmas Eve...That little stinker kept me up until 1:00 am!!! I'm STILL trying to recover from all the festivities... I still haven't got our of town family their gifts yet...I didn't do Christmas cards...It's been a very different/rough end of the year, however, I'm still greatful for all my wonderful family and friends.

Girls NiGhT!

My dear friend, Stacy, planned the best over~nighter in Park City for some of us girls in the ward....
It was SO much fun!
.

We ate the best food!

We stayed in a spectacular condo!

We played 'Just Dance' on the wii.

We ate junk food!

We totally enjoyed each others company:)

We all got to know each other better and it was awesome relating to these amazing girls. We all have our own 'things' we deal with in this world and it's nice to know that we're not alone. Not only do we have our Heavenly Father but, he gave us each other as well :) That's a very comforting thing to have! Thanks ladies.

HaPpY HaLlOwEeN!

Pumpkin carving with the family every year is one of my favorite traditions.
Say hello to Tammie. She's the familys newest addition :)...& Cash adores her.

Dave being the 'secure' man that he is is sporting a cute Christmas looking apron.

We had some really good soup/food yet, that's no surprise at these family gatherings.

Yes, that's a knife in Cash's hands and yes, we knew he had it ;)
We're fabulous parents.

Avery hauling her pumpkin to the table to carve it.

Brandon's adorable new girl, Daniel...hi Heater ;)

Avery got to have a Halloween party at her pre~school and wear her Buddy costume.
(Yes, that is a HUGE head)

Avery picked their costumes this year. She's still obsessed with dinosaurs so.......she's Buddy the T-Rex (from Dinosaur Train) and she picked out a Triceratops costume for Cash.

That's a good angle to truly see the ginormous head ;)
....& Avery being shy.

They had a parade down the street.

Siblings didn't have to dress up, however, I thought Cash should so he wouldn't feel left out from what his big sister was doing and he looks SO cute!

Mrs. Kate had the kids line up in the garage so all the parents could take pictures.

Inside Mrs. Kate had games set up for the kids. We made a Candy necklace first and she would only let Daddy help her.

& Cash :)

She eventually got tired of holding up that HUGE CRANIUM :)

Snack time :) There were a lot of treats to keep these little rascals happy.

And now the 'Adult' Halloween party.
.
.

.

Harley had to work until 10:00pm that night and then when he got there the only pics we got together were all blurry :(

Marilyn Monroe was there & the Hostess ;)

We had a Harlem Globe Trotter.

Elvis our Host.

Lil' Jon

Keith Stone

The DEVIL

These guys are a lot of fun and good friends.

FINALLY Trick or Treating!!

Harley put this mask on that Dave brought and a cape that Heather left and it scared the poop out of Cash :(....

He was not happy about this costume.

So Harley helped Dave put it on.

We went to a few houses and then Avery decided she was sick of going house to house and just wanted to go see Tracii and Maloree.

Maloree and Charlee are both getting so big and cute!
Halloween was great. Harley's birthday was great. Tammie came up to our house to baby sit for us so we could go to dinner and a movie.
Happy Birthday Harley! We love you.
