A Butterfly Threw Up In Lily's Room!!!

For those of you that keep asking to see pics of Lily's room, here you go. Lily was really big into butterflies when we moved her into her big girl room and I found these cool butterflies at Hobby Lobby and hung about 50 of them from her ceiling. She called them her Fly Flies! Mike put up the wainscoting all around her room which I absolutely love and Lily picked the dark pink on the walls. She has to have bumpers on the side of her bed because she still sleeps in a brace spreading her legs very far apart and I am a worry wart mother who is afraid if she falls out of bed she will break her neck or back. She still sleeps in a brace for her back as well.

The saying above her dresser was given to us by Grandma Hansen. It says "With a Lady Bug Kiss and a Butterfly Hug, Sleep Tight Little One Like a Bug In a Rug."


I think that must be a shadow in the pic or something. The wall is not two toned pink like that.

A White Christmas Oklahoma Style!!!

We are currently experiencing the fun winter storms in Oklahoma. Everything is totally coated in ice and looks like more is coming! Christmas came early and church was canceled yesterday. No dealing with kids in Sacrament, Yeah!!! School of course was canceled today and tons of Mike's patients canceled as well. We did not have power for a lot of last night and it got very cold in the house. We are one of the lucky ones that got power back today. Apparently there our 400,000 people in the Oklahoma City metro area that don't have power. I am guessing ours will go out again tonight when the second wave of ice hits us. I hope this all goes away by the weekend so I can actually make it to Utah for Lily and Leif's doctor appointments all next week.





Poor Maya has no where to go to the bathroom when she goes outside. There is ice everywhere. For those of you who don't know, yes we got a dog. Mike decided that I was never going to let him get one so he just showed up with Maya one day without my permission. I have to admit she is a wonderful dog and never barks! The kids love her and she loves them. I still have yet to pet or play with her. (I really can't stand dogs) The kids are great with her and that is all that matters I guess!! Jake and Lily absolutely love to take her for walks every night and I guess it gets them away from the TV and spending time with the family!

METAL MOUTH!!!

I can't believe he finally did it! I have been begging Mike to get braces since we were in dental school. He teeth were not bad but they could be much more straight and his bite was off quite a bit. I have been telling him for years he needed to practice what he preaches and low and behold he walked in from work today and surprised me. He told me that was my early Christmas present this year! Okay, good present, but I better get something else! He does look a little funny but I guess I can live with that! Thanks Mike!!!
