calling all cambridge-ites

i might get in a lot of trouble for just announcing it this way (usually we leave it to Lisa to invite the whole world) ...but here i go anyway :) we're having a little Utah gathing for all those from our time in Cambridge. Candace is hosting it at her Lifestyles home and it's going to be a blast!!! So, if you are going to be in UT and you'd like to get together with old friends from Cambridge, email me for details!!

Famous, at last!

My brother, Kevin, got this gig a few months ago, i don't know why it's taken me this long to post it!!! any of you who know him, know that this is the most PERFECT role for him! I actually don't even know if he's acting, or just being himself. either way, he's great and i love him!

My sweet Grace

I just have to say that i love this little lady so much!!! I've complained so much the past few days about being cooped up in this house, getting sick, missing out on Halloween parties, etc. And i just looked at this picture i took today and thought, "i am the luckiest person in the WORLD to be cooped up with my sweet little Grace." Granted she is napping right now, and all moms know it's easiest to love your kids when they're napping....but i REALLY do feel SO lucky to have Grace as my best little friend. besides her dad, there's no one else i'd rather be cooped up with!!

Thanks for putting up with me, Grace Elizabeth!!!

Are you a dentist?

Every person we met on Halloween night asked Reid this same question....i guess i can see why! I wanted to have some theme this year, and after careful consideration we went with teeth. Reid was a good sport and wore this toothbrush all evening. Grace was happy to be the "toof fairy" and Abby made the cutest tooth ever!!! Grace and Abby were still too sick to be out long, but we at least got to show off our costumes to a few people.

What i want to know is what can we dress up as next year that will get everyone to ask "are you a lawyer?" All ideas are welcome :)







The night before Halloween we all watched the Wiz a Wiz of Oz (grace's absolute FAVORITE movie) and carved pumpkins. I must admit that i'm quite proud of my little Spider Pumpkin!!

Sick of being sick

it started with the stomach flu 2 weeks ago. Grace got it first, then abby, then me (all of this while reid was out of town) and then reid, after he got back. We were healthy for about a day, and now we've got the croup. When does it stop? how did my children get such bad immune systerms? i didn't keep them in a bubble as newborns--i had more of the "expose your kids to all things so they build an immune system" mind set. Did i go wrong with this??? reid and i have never been germ-o-phobes....but i'm starting to think we should be!!! it just seems like such a miserable way to live! i see moms who are germ freaks and think it seems worse worrying about it all the time than actually having sick kids....and then my kids get sick and i have to wonder!!!

needless to say, we have no fun pictures (didn't think to take a picture of the girls cribs when they were covered in that night's dinner) and no fun stories. Just thought i'd post since it's been a while...

by the way, any advice or opinions about this are very welcome!! I'm SICK of being SICK!!!

I found this creature in our house about a year ago. Our good friends, the Alexanders were staying with us at the time, and they used their fancy camera to capture the 61--yes, we counted, 61-- babies on her back!!!! Now, if this isn't what blogs are for....

Who's Who in the Bath Tub

I was just looking through some of our pics, thinking that it's a good thing these are digitally dated, or i'd never ever know which of my gals is which! Can you guess?
























































...and a few more fun bath time photos. these two honestly love bath time!
