Finally, I've gotten around to getting this down for the records! Haha!
We blessed Zoey on October 19, 2014. This is the 2nd time we've blessed one of kids on a non-fast Sunday. My reasoning is that I wanted to be able to host a brunch right after sacrament and not have anyone feel guilty to break their fast early. It's not in the books that you have to bless your baby on fast Sunday, but traditionally they are. Not how that started. Wells anyways, this was such a special day for us.
We had a good turnout from our family for this day. Tia Maggie and Tio Gerald came up from Tucson. And I had a special surprise from my cousin Trevor! I didn't even know he was in town from Utah!

Valentine's Day
This year for Valentine's Day we actually got to go out. We don't usually go out but this year we wanted to.
It was somewhat last minute. We didn't have a babysitter lined up nor did we have a place we were going to yet.
I think at about 3 Matt decided we were going out, and I mentioned we didn't have a babysitter and it was too late to get one. So we decided to go out later than we normally would have, so that Scott could stay home with the girls.
We got the girls ready for bed and all Scott had to do was put them to bed. We found a restaurant around the corner just in case there was an emergency we would only be a couple mins away.
We went to a Teppanyaki restaurant that also served sushi. When we got there was a line, of course because it's Valentine's Day. We saw a couple spots open at the bar sat down. Easy! We enjoyed some yummy sushi and had a great conversation.
ps. the kids survived and were asleep when we got home.

Cub Scouts: Blue and Gold Banquet
This year's Blue and Gold Banquet was not held at the church. Instead with the weather being nice the Cub Scout leaders decided to hold it outside at Barney Park. We had some yummy food and the kids loved it.
All the boys earned their pins, rank advancements, and belt loops.

Christmas 2014
Christmas this year was a lot of fun! Jen and Greg and their kids came into town to celebrate this year. It's also Zoey's first Christmas! Oh and Papa Earl was here as well.
Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve this year was at Rick and Shellie's house. Rick read the traditional Christmas story from Luke. Grammy read her new Christmas book for the year. And of course the opening of the Christmas PJ's which I think is the highlight for the kids!

Zoey's Birth Story
I thought that it was time to share Zoey's birth story.
On Wed July 23rd I had seen the dr and I was still barely at 1cm. Very frustrating since with the other 2 I was further along by 38 weeks. So I decided to start taking the Evening Primrose oil capsules and rubbing Clary Sage oil on my belly.
I think this did the trick b/c on Sunday I was having some mild cramping but then it went away. Then on Tues, the 29th, as I was making dinner at about 5 pm I started to feel cramping again. I knew these weren't Braxton Hicks contraction like what I was having since 30 weeks. These contraction and pains were the real thing!

Summer's Shinanigans
Oh man! Summer is sure giving me a run for my money! This girl gets into everything!! I was downstairs doing some things when Summer comes up to me and says, "mommy I color!"
What? Wait color what? I looked down and at her and started laughing. She had found one of the black sharpies and colored on her arms and legs. When she's at Marva's house her a Phoebe color with markers, I guess she thought this would be okay. Oh dear!
So of course I had to take a picture before I stripped her down for a bath.
Luckily it all came off in the bath. Phew! I need to make sure those markers are out of her reach! haha
