Why do I Blog?

Life is so fast & furious with 3 young children, working from home, ect that I fear I will forget the lovely details of my girls' precious childhood.

My main motivation for blogging is to capture the every day moments...so I don't forget them before I have a chance to scrapbook. Sharing with you is just an added bonus. Keeping this blog has helped me get the photos off my camera's memory card and label/organize them on my laptop. It is the BEST tool I have for scrapbooking. I haven't ever been able to keep a journal, but this I can do. I don't pretend to have anything interesting to say. In fact I'm sure this little blog is boring to you, but to me it is priceless!

2 2-weeks worth of posts in one!

We had our first snow a few days ago, but it melted. We were all so excited to see a skiff of fresh powder on the lawn this morning. Allie had to get all bundled up AGAIN to go out to play.

After returning from Thanksgiving, we decorated the tree. After some time in COLD Idaho & Black Friday shopping it is starting to feel like the HOLIDAYS are really approaching.

We spent a wonderful long weekend in "ICEBURG" (i.e. Rexburg) with my family. Everyone was there: my parents, all 3 of my sisters & their respective spouses, & all SEVEN granddaughters. What a gaggle of girls! My sister Maren made these great turkey hats. Allie is still wearing hers. See the Jemmett family blog for more cool pics.


I turned the BIG THREE - O last month. Nate got me a neat STONE BAKING DISH (in which I made my own cake) and a cool STIR PITCHER. He is such an awesome gift giver. I never tell him what I want, and yet he always takes my breath away.

Allie loves to sit on the potty, flushing, washing, & wearing panties, but she hasn't been much for actually 'going' in the potty. She did once about a week ago - HURRAY! So, we went to town for an ice cream...her choice! I was tickled & thought that a long Thanksgiving weekend at Grandma's with all the "big" girl cousins would be just the ticket to getting her trained. No such luck. After wearing the panties proudly for 15 min, she asked for her diaper back.

I guess Maren saw some hat/headbands 'like' them in pottery barn. The kids absolutely loved them.
