My 4 Miracle Babies

The Man of My Dreams

Oh, and nap time...

Hoping you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving...

Bring on the snow, Christmas and all the fa la la la la that comes with it!!!

A Time and a Season... for baking

The time has come

The weather has changed

The days are shorter

Next month is Christmas?

What? It's in 6 weeks?

It's on the 25th?

of December?

What???

Well that means on this cold, late fall, Sunday evening... We make a comfort classic dinner of turkey and gravy, stuffing and veggies. Get our jammies on at 6:00 in the evening to snuggle up together to watch America's Funniest Videos and then what?

MAKE COOKIES!!!

The boys loved cracking eggs (a thorough examination for shells took place), and adding brown sugar and flour.

I ask you, What is the best part of making cookies?

You're right! Licking the beaters of course!

Daddy is so sweet to always give mommy a spoonful of chocolate chip goodness!

The cookies are then scooped onto the baking dish and lovingly placed into a preheated 375 degree oven and then...

12 minutes later...

Gooey-chocolate chip bliss is ours!

Happy Autumn Sunday to you all!!!

Highlight: Warm chocolate chip cookies

Lowlight: It's 34 degrees outside and supposed to snow tomorrow... I guess more cookies will come!

Another year

My LittleField's are Five today!!!

I cannot believe how time flies. I mean I can't believe how fast life can pass before your little eyes and your babies are no longer toddlers or babies or even infants for very long.

The boys were so excited to have family and friends come celebrate and bring awesome gifts. They were so happy and gave thanks to everyone.

Make a wish!!!

I asked Preston what he wished for, his response "it won't come true, why would you even ask me that."

Am I the worse mother ever???

Yummy Cake (I hope)

The highlight of the night.

Grandma and Grandpa Field gave them "real live laptops, for real life."

I had just made a cardboard laptop for the boys earlier in the day. I even wrote out all the keys and square monitor with a black sharpie. The neighbor actually put a little apple on the front so it looked like moms computer...

But then! Real Life laptops!

Yup, at 7:30 the next morning they were already on them! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Five Things I love about Garrett:

Five Things Matthew Loves about Preston:

Life's Constants

There are universal constants in the world.

The sun will rise in the East and set in the West.

What goes up must come down.

An empty box of crackers will always end up on the shelf in the pantry.

The empty toilet paper roll will never have a backup.

Along those same lines, there are constants in life.

Talmage will always stare at you patiently waiting to give you a smile.

Kirtlyn will always smile when her daddy looks at her.

Garrett will always ask for some form of sugar within 10 minutes of waking up.

Preston will always scratch his nose when putting thoughts together.

I will always leave a tissue in some article of clothing that will ultimately get little white fuzzies all over the laundry.

Matthew will always fall asleep while attempting to rock a baby to sleep.

But there is one thing I know for sure...

I will always love you.

A Pictures Worth...

10 years later...

Costume Day 2010!

Happy Halloween!!!

The boys were so excited to go Trick or Treating... but thanks to fall Utah County weather, the clouds rolled in, the thunder struck, the rains came down and the hail fell fast! The boys and Daddy had to wait under a neighbor's porch for at least a small break in the rain to make a run for it home. They came in soaked and the boys got to help me hand out candy for the rest of the evening. You got to love it when only a few houses is enough for them! Daddy got to sit and hold babies and watch game 3 of the World Series, go Giants!

Here are the people in my life who make me smile, glow, snicker, giggle and ultimately beam whenever I see them.

My Little Pumpkin Patch

BOO!!

My heroes (except for the evil Darth Sidius in the middle, he's spooky!)

Two little Jedi's who make me smile on a minute by minute basis.

Highlight: Beautifully made costumes by Grandma Field, love you!

Lowlight: Rain and hail made Trick or Treating last only 15 minutes (maybe that is a highlight)

Hope you all had a fantastic Halloween!!!

This is Halloween, this is Halloween!

What a fun week! The boys had their pre-school party and got to play Bingo, decorate cookies, create their own jack-o-lantern treat bags and read a few Halloween stories.

Mathew dressed up for his work party and apparently had a fun time driving down the street!

Friday we had our pumpkin carving night and had the Evans family over. What a blast! The boys got to dig out their pumpkins (eewww gross!) and decorate cookies.

Here are the fruits of our labor. Matthew did Darth Maul since that's what he dressed up as. The boys did different Jack Skellington faces (ok, Matthew did them) and I did an owl. Tons o' fun!

We had some fun Halloween activities leading up to the big day, hopefully tomorrow will be a fun day of Trick or Treating!!
