Elizabeth Bennett???

Ok, so sometimes I hate taking these quizzes, but I am so sick of going on the blog and seeing Mitt Romney, that I needed to post something! So I was on my friend's blog, and she had this quiz... what is the harm in taking it.

I AM ELIZABETH BENNETT! Woo Hoo! If that means I get a Mr. Darcy than I am all for it, and don't I already have a Mr. Darcy?
Check below for a comparison of my Darcy and the Mr. Darcy.

Whoo... take the quiz and see what Austen Heroine you are! I would love to know!

My Mr. Darcy if he grew out his hair and wore frilly shirts. :)

A little Creepy...

I was cleaning up this morning and I looked in the twins' toy bin and this is what I saw. Do you let your kids play with bones? Cause apparently we do! That is just a little creepy!

Snow, Missionaries, and Cousins!

So I vowed to myself that I would never fly alone again with the twins. Well, I broke that vow... but it was well worth it. I went to Utah with the twins to see my brother one last time before he entered the MTC. The twins had lots of fun with Uncle Matthew!

Here is a timeline of our events:
1. Fly to Utah meet up with Mom, Dad, and Matthew


2. Drive to Manti to see Great Gma and Gpa Sorensen.


3. Hang with the G Gparents, Gparents and Matthew. (Feed the chickens, play in the snow etc.)








4. Go bowling at the OLDEST and MOST GHETTO bowling alley ever!

You had to keep score yourself... AND it used to project onto whiteboards from an overhead projector. That would have been cool to see, but it was broken too.


5. Drive to Provo, eat at Cafe Rio (Yum!)



6. Take Matthew to MTC




7. Go hang at BYU



8. Go see David, Megan and Cousins


9. Fly home where it is warm!


10. Jenny picks us up from the airport, and we fit three carseats in the back of her Honda!
Way to go us!

It was a great trip. We are so proud of Matthew. We feel really blessed to have Aunts and Uncles who are such great examples to our kids. Thanks guys!

Lindsey Wildlife Museum

We went to this Animal Hospital/Museum the other day when Tyson had the day off. It was a really small, but extremely cool place. Animals that are brought to the animal hospital and can't be put back in the wild, then go to the museum! They have a mountain lion, a fox, a bald eagle, a turkey vulture (with arthritis), tons of falcons, hawks, and owls. They were all electrocuted, shot, malnourished (from pet owners). Yea... someone in the bay area actually had that mountain lion as a pet! So no more talking, here are the pictures.
Wow!

Dead Bodies as Art

Could Tyson be any happier. Bring all his loves together in one place!


Tyson has always wanted to go to BodyWorlds. It is this exhibit of dead bodies... well cadavers I guess I should call them. Anyways this biologist thought it would be great to show off the human body in all its glory in a very tasteful artistic way. It was amazing... and if you live in the Bay Area you should go before the Saturday when it ends! It was so incredible. They showed lungs of a healthy person, of a smoker, and of a coal miner. The lungs went from gray, to dark grayish black, to pitch black respectively. We couldn't take photos in the exhibit, but here we are outside of the museum. (Tyson was like a kid in a candy shop! He was informing me on every little thing, and running around super excited!) Yes, the twins went, and yes Berkleigh cried when she saw her first cadaver! They are a little scary! Can you blame her?

Bag Tag x 2

I am carrying around 2 bags right now... so lucky you! You get to see my disorganized self! Thanks Jenny!

I tag... Lisa P., Emily K., Becca L., Kim A., and Becky T.

Here is my purse... I got it for Christmas!

Here are the inards...

Things to look for:
-Uh... Macaroni and Cheese! I must have been stashing when someone was coming over.
-Tickets to BodyWorld... very cool!
-Garmin Nuvi... our new GPS system. It is SO handy and awesome. Thanks Craig and Jackie.

My Diaper Bag...


Watch out for...

-Merrick's head circumference graph from the ped. That little black dot, is his head circ. (which if you can't tell, is way above the average... 100% baby) We go for perfection in this family!
-Love their ABC books I made for them!
-Notice the cute drawings.. my friends little girl drew them for M and B during church!
-Notice there are no diapers in my DIAPER bag, but like 50 in my purse... hmm.

A day in the life of...

Wake up at 7 am... if they aren't awake yet, I wake them up.


Then we get ready for a walk around the neighborhood.


After our walk, we come in, turn on Baby Einstein, and eat breakfast... oatmeal with fruit.

Puree fruits and veggies for my new cookbook recipes...


Work on my projects, read, and work out while watching LOST on ABC.com.


When the twins wake up, we get dressed for the day and go to the park, and if it is pretty warm we take lunch with us. Sometimes friends come, sometimes we go by ourselves.



After the park, we go home and play.

At 1:30, the twins go down for their second nap. They usually sleep until 3:30!


While the twins are sleeping I ...
Fold the laundry, read, blog, or work on my projects...

Good night!
