WPPI

Just got home from Vegas. I went to WPPI with my sister Kristin.
Left my kids with their Dad and they actually survived! Probably due to my Mom and BJs cousin Staci. Tuck loves Staci - he cried and cried after she left. I survived the plane rides thanks to Heather. I don't do very well with flying. I am always afraid the plane is going to crash :)

To my surprise my husband borrowed this sign from his Mom and hung it up the night I returned. I thought it was all my Moms doing.

Welcome Home pictures from the kids

My Mom helped Tuck and Maddie make these flowers for me. Look at the flowers in the back - they are missing the wrapper. That was Tuckers doing :)

WPPI was a blast! I learned so much. Met some amazing people. Also learned that all the pictures I have taken up until now are crap! I am so excited to practice everything I have learned. I can't wait until I have those "wow" pictures! WARNING!!!! I may be calling you to see if I can borrow your kids :)
I also decided that I am very tired of being shy - it is getting old. When I told my husband that he responded with : "I am sure the bishop would let you say the prayers in sacrament meeting." Well that might be a little too fast - baby steps first :)

It FINALLY came out!

Maddie has had a loose tooth since December - she finally lost it. I was fixing her hair before school when she leaned over and spit in her hand - out came her tooth. She was so afraid to loose her tooth but after it came out she had to show it to everyone! She showed it to all the neighbors on the way to her bus stop. She stood up in front of her school class and showed them (something I would NEVER do!). That night we all went to see Tooth Fairy at the theater. The movie was surprisingly better than I had expected.

Tucks haircut

Before

And After

He acts so grown up now - maybe it is the haircut!

Tuck goes to school . . .

Tuck started school last week. He only made it to the first day - the poor kid got sick AGAIN! He is in the early intervention program for speech delay. So now he goes to school twice a week and gets to ride a big bus like his sister.

Maddies Skirt

Maddie decided it wasn't so bad being stuck at the Material Girls . . . she loves the skirt I made her. I just need to go take her pictures in it now that Tuck is finally better.

Playing in the snow

So this was a while ago - I am a little slow at posting pictures. They has so much fun playing in the snow together. Although I think Tuck liked eating the snow more than he liked making the snowman.

I do it myself . . .

Tucker always says "Me do it Mom!" Today he dressed himself. Notice the pants are on backwards.
