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!

1 Salt Lake Temple Square Lights

Last weekend we made our annual trek to see the lights on Temple square with our neighbors the Sorensens. Of course it was cold, but not nearly as cold as it usually is. This year Troy, Heidi, & Alia to join us. The girls were all eyes as we strolled around the grounds in a large hoard. They were very good at staying close. I only got a few pictures before the batteries in my camera died. They last so long (I thinkI've been on this set since July) I forget about them. I'll probably post more pics when I get them from Hanne & Troy.


After the lights, we had dinner at Sizzler & walked around Toys-R-Us. It was a late night by the time we got around to putting the girls to bed at Uncle Troy's house. I was worried how Kylie would go down since it was the first time she's slept outside a crib/pack-n-play. The stinker tried to walk out of the room a few times, but fell right asleep when I laid down by them on the floor. Since it was 2+ hours past bedtime and they were completely exhausted, it only took 2 minutes! The next morning Troy said he was woke up to the sound of Allie calling him from the bathroom. What a great uncle to help her out in her hour of need. When I came upstairs a while later (to see if the girls were awake) Troy had them settled in his office chair watching a cartoon on his laptop. Yep, he just might be their favorite uncle.

*update: Kylie climbed out of her crib this morning (first time ever) so I guess we'll be thinking about moving her to a 'big girl bed' sooner rather than later. Drat! I was hoping to keep her locked up for a bit longer.

Oh yes. Rylee too can get out of her crib. But I still leave her in it. It's kind of nice that she can get herself out in the morning! She won't stay in bed in a big bed.
