Music Anyone?

So I am sure that most of you know that I am pretty dumb when it comes to updating my blog...I need help to put some music on. Is there anyone out there that can walk me through it? Does it cost money to download songs? Any help would be great!

Hawaii Night






I have been very fortunate to be in the Young Women's program. We get to do lots of really fun things with our girls. This is one the coolest activities I have ever been involved with.
We did Hawaii night as an incentive program for the girls do get their Personal Progress goals acomplished. We had an awsome leader in charge of this activity Sister Bell, and she did a lot of amazing decorations and food. It was a blast. We even had some friends of mine come and teach the girls to do hula dancing!

Grandpa's Dollhouse



When Derik's Grandpa was alive he made these really cute sturdy dollhouses and sold them. He died aboust two and half years ago and there were three houses that he had finished before he died. Derik's Grandma asked if any of the Grandkids would like to buy them and derik decided that would be great for Adelyn and to remember Grandpa. We have been trying to get it up here for over a year, it is huge and would only fit in a truck bed or the whole back of an SUV.
My parents were sweet enough to take their truck down to Utah this last week and pick it up for us on their way home. It has been lots of fun!

Our Babysitter


This is our most wonderful babysitter, Summer. She is so sweet and really good with our girls. I am so thankul for her, we used to never go out on dates just Derik and I until Summer started babysitting. We can go all the time now becuase she knows the girls so well that we don't even worry. Derik jokes that we should start having a payroll deduction straight to her account because we call her almost every weekend! WE LOVE YOU SUMMER!

Biggest Looser Week 6

For week Six we all lost .5lbs, it has been rough latley to loose anything! We are skipping the posting of week seven and will update next week.

This is us being Silly!



The other day I was sticking one of those cute little bows to Aliya's forhead and Adeltn thought that she was being left out so she asked me to out them on her...only she wanted them on her cheek! It was really cute and I thought I would give you all a giggle!

Background Change

I have been trying for a long time to figure out how to make my blog as cute as all of yours! I finally found a blog that has instructions and links and all sorts of fun things to do. So here is my change...If you want some other cute ideas I added the link to the side bar so you could do this too!

Adelyn and Aliya Age 9 Months


Adelyn and Aliya Age 5 months





So my brother Gilbert asked a long time ago to see some pics of Adelyn and Aliya at the same age...I just figured out how to get them scanned in as jpeg files do that I could put them on the blog (it takes me a while).
Can you tell who is who?

Daddy's Big Blue Eyes!!!



I just had to post this picture because it shows off Aliya's big eyes so well, that she got from her good lookin' Daddy. Ahe is such a sweet heart.

She loves to chew on anything in sight, just priming for all those chompers yet to come.

Rockband/ XBOX 360





So for a long time now I have been the mean wife because I have not "let" Derik get an XBOX 360. Everyone else has one and he was the outsider. Well I was standing my ground firmly until my great friend Angie invited us over for 'jam' session on their rockband game...it was a blast! Usually I hate video games but this one is awsome. So with this game Derik finally convinced me that we needed to update to a new system. It is a lot of fun and Adelyn loves it too, she tells us "I'm ready to rock Mommy!"
