Rusty Says!

Today as I was getting Lacey ready. I said come here Lacey lets put your shoes on. Rusty quickly turned to me and said, those aren't shoes their Foot Flops!!!!
This struck me so funny!!! Nothing better than your 4 year old correcting your language! :)

I couldn't resist after getting everyone ready for church to take a few shots with the camera.
I can't believe for just setting the timer how cute everyone looks.
Oh how I love being a wife and mommy!

Today was the most embarrassing day! I guess being the mom, I am always helping everyone else get dressed and ready. I kinda forget about myself. I was confidently walking into sacrament with my cute little family and of course the only seats left were up in the front of the chapel. (what's new?) As I got sat down sister w. came up behind me and said, Heidi your skirt is unzipped!!!

I thought you have got to be kidding!!! Nope, she wasn't!!! I slowly turned around to glance at how many people could have seen me, oh my, lets just say it was pretty much the whole ward!!!

I looked at Kirb and said can I go home yet?!

And then I let Kirby know that it is his job to check me out before I walk into church. He was trying to smooth things over by telling me probably nobody else even noticed. Yeah right!

So just for a heads up, if you want a good laugh come to sacrament meeting with me. You might see some booty!!!!

What a great sabbath!!!

You guys make me so proud!!! Love you.

almost gone!

The other day we headed outside for a little sunshine! Yes, I said SUNSHINE! Bryce and Rusty decided to enjoy the last of the snow in our yard. I am not sad to see it go!
Lacey was still a little hesitant but enjoyed being in the sun! Everyone had a smile.

Green Eggs & Ham!

Happy St. Patricks Day! This morning everyone was making sure they had something green on at our house. I was the first to be pinched! Rusty made sure I knew I didn't have any green on my pajamas. Even though I told him mommy has green eyes, I guess that wasn't good enough because I got pinched several more times!
Kirby made our breakfast this morning and it may not look grand but it is deceiving! He even sauteed green peppers in the eggs! What a chef!!! :)

Good morning everyone!!!

Couples Ride!

We got together with some couples in our ward and planned a snowmobiling excursion. It was great. We had a lot of good laughs. We did also have a couple of scares.
#1 Tyree took Kirby's snowmobile to try it out and seconds after taking off she went down a unexpected hill and flew into the handle bars! It was scary before we knew if she was okay. Thankfully she had some bruised ribs but not broken. Oh did I mention it was my idea that she try out Kirb's snowmobile? What kind of friend am I???
#2 Sean and Tyree's snowmobile had a couple problems on the way over but with a prayer and our Casanova husbands it was up and running again in no time!
Just a thought, Tyree you were involved in both scares!!!! :) Ha, Ha, Ha! Your such a good sport!
Hope that we can make this ride a tradition.
I am so grateful to have such good friends. Thanks everyone for an awesome day! :)

This is not the greatest picture but I wanted one before we left.

The boys checking out Sean and Tyree's snowmobile it had a few kinks to work out.


Here we are eating lunch. The food was good!

It's a bird, it's a plane---

Nope, It's a bird!

It was so funny Rusty threw the bird in the air to see if it would fly and it flapped and landed right on Lacey's head!!!

It was just the average morning, you know wake up, get breakfast, and then everyone bids daddy off to work. Well a couple minutes after Kirby went out the door he was back with this feathery friend!

I guess it was in the garage and we realized it couldn't fly. The kids loved holding it and chasing it around the kitchen! I just bit my tongue and watched!

If your asking what happened to the bird? I'm not sure? Kirby set it free out in the snow with the dog nearby!!! I made sure I didn't look outside for awhile. I guess on a positive note I didn't see any remains!!!

1ST TIME!

Kirby, Me, Irene, and Keith

Me and Kirby. What kind of face is that?

Keith and Irene

Look closely and you can see a moose! Didn't get the greatest shot of it.

Kirby invested in a snowmobile a couple years ago and has definitely enjoyed a lot of rides with the guys, but it has never been convenient enough for me to go with him. Until now! :) We were able to go with some great friends of ours Keith and Irene. It was a great day.

We left about 9 ish and drove to Albert Moser where we unloaded the sleds. It was awesome and not to mention BEAUTIFUL. Their is a groomed trail but it was tons of fun making new trails threw the fresh powder.

We made it over to Bear Lake where we enjoyed a fabulous lunch and then headed back. It was such a great day did I mention that already?! ;)

I am so glad to see what snowmobiling is all about!

Here is a clip of us. I think Kirby is trying to throw me off!!! But I remained on the sled the whole day! If you know Kirby's driving, that is a very big accomplishment!!!

FHE

Fishing for food!

Our tent.

Cheese!

Our S'mores.

Lacey loved her s'more, can ya tell???

We have all had camping fever in our family and the other day we were talking about all the fun times we have had on camping trips. It triggered a great idea in my head for a good family night! Why can't you camp in the winter?

So, I pulled some ideas together and here is what I came up with. First we had to fish for our food and the kids loved it. I think every fish was caught at least 3 times! Then we turned those paper fish into tin foil dinners. I put them together an cooked them on 350 for one hour. (Mmmm) The kids pretended they were eating their fish.

Then for the spiritual part we watched a church movie in the tent we made!! That was fun even Kirb and I squished in.

And for dessert we enjoyed S'mores! It turned out being a great spiritual camping trip! The kids are ready to do it again.

Little Mommy

Rock a bye the babies!!!

Notice her baby is still bright eyed! :) Hee,Hee!

I found Lacey in the rocking chair up stairs with her baby and she was sound asleep! :) What a little sweety. She is practicing her mommy skills already. It reminded me of those long nights with your own little baby and how exhausted a mom can get!

Thankfully I have been enjoying a good nights sleep at night for a few months now unless one of my babies are sick, of course.

It's so amazing to me that little girls already have that motherly instinct. I think Lacey makes a great little mommy!!! :)

New Years

Kirb really had a great time it just looks like he's scowling in this picture.

Wait for me!

Lacey hung out in the truck most of the time and was happy as could be just watching. In fact when I got her out on set her on the snow she started to cry!! :)

Rusty making snow caves and enjoying his hot cocoa.

Here's Lacey with her Aunt Stephanie.

On or near New Years we have made it tradition to go sleigh riding with the Chatterton family. It is so fun for the adults and the kids. It makes me feel like a kid again going down the hill on my sleigh. Kirby was our ride up the mountain! It was so fun and I also love knowing we get to head back to Grandma Debbie's for a warm meal. This year it was all flavors of warm soup that warmed every ones bellies.
