sick

i am not okay with being sick with the flu that is now turning into a really really really bad cold and i am not okay with madelynn and myself having pink eye on top of it!

family pics

we had family pictures taken by my sweet sister in law while we were in ut. it's our 1st picture we have of us four. i have been running from any one behind a camera pointing it in my direction. lame i know. the only thing that could have made the pictures better is if my girls weren't crying the whole time. funny thing how out door pictures in november in ut equals crabby cold little girls. thank you liz for taking time out of your crazy busy week to take our pictures.

meet my therapist

therapist ther·a·pist (thěr'ə-pĭst)
n.
One who specializes in the provision of a particular therapy.

this is leslie. today we ran a half marathon. over the past few years we have trained for some races. in doing so i have found that the hours i have put into training have turned into personal therapy sessions. not that leslie is "specialized in the provision of a particular therapy" but she is a good friend who listens, laughs and has the best stories to tell. i have very much enjoyed the hours we have spent together laughing and talking and getting a great work out.

halloween...was that last month already?

dustin just loves to smile for the camera

if you look closely you can see madelynn and tate holding hands


part of the group we went out with


a few days before halloween, madelynn started to stress out about how we were going to do her hair. she wanted it to look just like Tinkerbell's hair. she studied the beginning of disney movies to make she i know just how to do her hair. it was so cute.

we went trick or treating with a group of friends and had a blast! madelynn was loving every moment of the night. ella totally got into it too. she was trying to keep up with the big kids, always a few steps behind. ella was a stinker and i didn't get any good pictures of her.

ode to shelby

this cute girl is shelby. oh how miss madelynn loves her. {and so do i} there is not a day that go by that i don't think of this sweet girl. as many of you know madelynn has a blanket affectionately call shelby blanket. before i had ella, shelby made me a blaket for her, when madelynn saw the blanket she ran up and said my shelby blanket, and that was it, she wanted nothing to do with her baby blanket and everything thing to do with her new shelby blanket. now comes the sting cheese, at our house it's shelby cheese, because at one point or another madelynn eat sting cheese with shelby and thats what it's now called. every sunday madelynn gets so excited when we sit down in sacrament meeting, cause she knows that shelby is going to be at church and i have to point out where shelby is. madelynn asks me a few times a week if shelby can come over to play. she doesn't get that shelby is 10 and is in school all day and isn't one of her playdate friends. i always get a huge smile on my face when think of this cute girl and how my madelynn looks up to her. so thank you shelby for being the girl that you are, and for being so sweet to my madelynn. we love you miss shelby!

poke a dot pumpkins

so i finally got around to doing my poke a dot pumpkins yesterday, yes i know on Halloween right. madelynn has been bugging me to do it for the last 31 days.

some day i want a little boy

{okay if you know me at all you know i can't spell, and even when i re read things i still don't catch the errors, so Dustin thought he would be helpful and edit this post and apparently he is now going by de-licious}

Dustin has always said he thinks we are going to have all girls. he says it's just a feeling he has. i plan to prove him wrong, not that i have to much control over it. i grew up with two big brothers. i lived at sporting events. i thought it was a blast. not that my girls can't play sports...its just girls sports aren't the same. i LOVED having brothers. not that brothers are the best every moment...i did want to kill them every now and again...more or less when i started to date. aaron you know what i am talking about. boys are no drama...trust me we have all the drama we can take at the turley house with our two little girls. anyways i love my girls and feel so blessed to have them...i just want to have a little Dustin aka de-licious some day.

i was editing pics and this sweet mother and son moment made me think about how some day i want a son....that's how i got on the wanting a baby boy kick!
