Namma & Grandpa!

So Jacob's parents came up for the weekend last weekend and we had a blast. They are from So Cal so the snow was a big treat for them. We had so much fun having snowball fights, sleading, drinking hot chocolate, opening presents, visiting Temple Square to see the amazing lights, going out for dinner and making candy trains! Thanks Mom & Dad Tomseth for a fantastic weekend! We love you!

I've been waiting for this day...

I suppose every mother waits for the day that her little girl will want to be just like mommy and get into her make-up. I actually doubted this day would come only for the fact that my Lizzy is an angel and never really does anything really naughty. Well...it happened and it couldn't have been more funny! I was calling her name because I hadn't seen her in a while and she didn't answer like she usually does. I started to look around for her and couldn't find her. I finally went into my room to check the bathroom and I saw the light on in the bathroom and scurrying going on under the door. I opened the door to find my sweet little Lizzy franticaly wiping her face with a huge wad of wet toilet paper desperatley trying to remove the make-up before I found her. She looked up at me (very dissapointed in herself) and said "Mom, can you help me get it off?" To hide my rolls of laughter I covered my mouth as to look horrified instead of completley amused. I told her that she needed to go on a little time-out first and then I would help her wash her face. (Only because my bathroom was a lipstick-covered disaster!) So...Lizzy had to do the walk of shame to the time-out spot. I felt bad because she was so embarrassed. Her Namma and Grandpa were there and she couln't be more humiliated. Of course Grandma was shooting off pictures and Grandpa was trying not to laugh. We then washed her face and she proclaimed to me: "Mom, I never want to wear make-up again!" I told her she was beautiful just the way she was and that when she got older, I would teach her how to wear make-up. Oh the joys of being a mother....:)

Horray for Me!!

Okay, I had to give myself props this morning for FINALLY getting my butt back on my treadmill. I haven't been on it in WEEKS due to being busy, the holidays and, well, I was just being lazy, really. It felt fantastic! Vollyball is tonight so I get double points. (Every Thursday, my friends and I break into the church and have a hillarious game of Vollyball) I had gained a couple "I-miss-Jacob" pounds from when he was on his buisness trip for a couple weeks. I have a love hate relationship with Bryers Black Rasberry-Chocolate ice cream by the way... SO good and SO bad at the same time. Actually, I've already lost about 2 lbs in just 4 days! I guess thats what happens when you stop sitting on your butt at night watching cooking shows and eating mounds of ice cream. Funny how that works huh... I swear that's the trick to ANY weight loss: STOP EATING THREE HOURS BEFORE BEDTIME. I'm back to my old self, eating healthy again and it feels great! All that sugar was wiggin' out my system.

Trevor loves Lemons!!

Every time we go to a restraunt, Trevor always wants the lemon. So...I gave it to him. We were dying laughing because he would make these horrible faces, throw it down, then pick it up and start eating it again! Anyway...here are some of Trevor's "Lemon faces"

SNOW!!!

What a fun day we had sledding! We love it when it just dumps snow and then the sun comes out! We found a really cool hill nearby and had a blast! Afterwards, we went home, had hot chocolate and took naps!

A little vent...Probably not for children...

I HAVE THE WORST NEIGHBORS IN THE WORLD!!! You would think that when you move into a nice neighborhood, you would have decent nieghbors...NO! My neighbors across the street (the one's with the pitbulls and the drinking and the loud parties) have horrible children that drive everyone nuts because they don't dicipline them.

Today, I came home from church to find a lovely message scribbled in the snow on my front lawn that read: B*&%$# in HUGE letters. I have been NOTHING but kind to these neighbors and this is what I get! I don't understand. I am the ONLY person on my street that will even talk to these people, wave hello and give them vegetables from my garden and this is how I am treated... I called the boys over (because they were standing right there on the corner...idiots...) I walked my neighbor boy home to tell his mother, and her response (from her blank face) was "Oh, okay..." She told her boy to get inside and shut the door! That was it!! No aplogy or anything! I am so livid right now! Anyway...thanks for letting me vent...

All my other neighbors are wonderful, by the way, and we have a great time together. But I guess it only takes one to make your life miserable!

My baby had a baby!!

My baby sister had a baby!!! I am dying that I can't be there!! She is gonna make the BEST mommy EVER!
