Big Intimidating changes!!!!

It all started with the big news that we found out on Christmas day!!! Surprise, we are going to have baby # 3 this upcoming August. We were very SURPRISED and Excited at the same time. With having already 2 wild,energetic and Crazy children we were going to have a little brake to enjoy life, but it was not in the Heavenly Father's plans for us. Now I will have a newborn model to practice all the crazy poses that I want to do, poor kid.

While we got used to these News, Jim felt that he needs to go back to school to complete different courses to become a miofasial release therapist(it's a therapy that helps people to find and release past traumatic memories to live a more fulfilling and happier life. It is sort of like a depression treatment but in much better, healthier way). This is something he wanted to do for a while, but while he was in school at U of U it was not possible. This year we sort of got screwed on getting a Grant for Jim's school and that gave us a year to do another school option.

So now Jim's school starts Monday, that is an Exciting news, but his Pay check gets cut in half which is not so pleasant. We have been brainstorming other job possibilities and yes Jim can go to work in the morning, then go to school and then go to do some night job and not see us all week. I thought and realized that I don't think I could survive not having a brake from my children for so long. So we decided to PUSH my Photography buisness a little further.
We are going to do ADs in the newspaper, get the fliers going and hope the word of mouth will do the trick. So, will see.... the pressure is on me to make up what Jim will loose. IT IS kinda scary and intimidating but we will give it a try. Thank Goodness it is only for 7 month. I think I can handle it, it is not that long. Hopefully we will be better of after all is set and DONE!!!

Other then that I have been feeling really crappy lately. I feel like I have been hit by a train most of the time on top of that my super sensitive seances have kicked in and it is driving me nuts. All my Bath ans Body Lotions that I loved smell too strong. My poor husband has to brush and re brush his teeth if he wants to sit close to me after dinner. Changing my toddler's diaper is the worst, I literally have to breath through my mouth while I am changing him.Plus I can smell him from a mile away. I hope it passes soon and I will be back to my normal self.

Tasia's December Dance Recital!!!

I am finally getting around to organize the files and pictures on my computer. It has been nice to find some pictures that I completely forgot about. This is Tasia's Dance recital from December. They were dressed as the cutest Shanta's Elves. Tasia loves when she gets to see Grandma and Grandpa Clark at her house for the occasion, well and aunt Carolyn too.

Birthday Party with Family

Grandma Susan made this beautiful Princess cake for Tasia! I had a hard time seeing it cut!

Tasia's Princess Birthday Party!!!! It was so much fun to have all the cute princesses and a couple of handsome princes at our house!!!

Kids are hilleriouse

Just yesterday Jim's family and us decided to go have a dinner a show at Mayan restorant. Some of Jim's family have never been there before. We had a wonderful time together enjoying the food and Divers. Kids were so excited about the show that it made it easy for them to sit and eat and watch it. Tasia was thrilled to see such a thing, she kept saying when i grow up I am going to dive too.

It is interesting to see how impressionable kids are, they think of the things they saw even durig privet moments of their life.
On one of the potty brakes (I am sorry for being graphic but it is the part of the story) right after she dropped a log she said : " My Poop splashes just like divers". And if you think of it it does.

AJ is stuffing everything at once as usual.

Next time we saw divers we really had to have a picture of them and Tasia. If they would have only knew...
For me though every time i saw them I kept thinking of a splash that Tasia was talking about:)

Our Little princess is growing up!!!

My little girl is growing up. I love seeing her learn and do new things but I have a hard time letting go of the baby she ones was. On her birthday we did lot's of girly things that I love doing with Tasia: Hair, Tea Parties, Backing cupcakes and decorating them. Poor Little AJ had a hard time with the switch of attention, he did not like that a bit. In fact he really loved it when Daddy came home and he was his favorite parent that day.

Christmas is Here!!!

Merry Christmas to Everyone, what a wonderful time of the year to reflect on the Event of the Birth of Our Savior. We are so blessed to have such a loving Heavenly Father that provided everything we need for us to come back to Him- His Love, Mercy and His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ! I feel the love of Him as I think more of the Birth of Christ at this time of the year.

Our Family had a wonderful Christmas as we welcomes loved ones in our home.

Grand-ma and Grand-pa Linfields came to visit last Friday. What a joy we had spending some time with them and catching up.









On Christmas Eve we had a lot of things to do, our Traditions, and preparations for the big Day!
We had a wonderful dinner cooked by Jim ( I love it when he cooks, and he doe s a great job). I couldn't wait for a taste of French appetizers, baguette and brie. I think I filled up just munching on those one of my favorite things. Then e had mashed potatoes and ham.

As ususally we read the Nativity story and play it out with nativity peices. It went well for about 2 minutes, then AJ got frustrated that Tasia was not letting him play out his own story and they both started throwing the nativity pieces thought the house. That ended that attempt by putting AJ to bed. Then we decided to show Tasia a part in the movie "Nativity Story" when Jesus was born and the wise men and shepherds came to visit.
This part of Christmas Eve went better then the previous one:)

In the morning Tasia woke up as usual, walked to bed and just wanted to continue sleeping. Poor girl thought Sanata did not bring her percents, because she did not find them under her tree. Little did she know that Santa uses the big Family tree to leave the percents under, well and after you all know what happens....

Barbie Furniture from G-ma Lidiya

When AJ woke up and saw Tasia's pink guitar,



all he wanted to do is to string it nonstop. But when Daddy helped AJ open his hew remote controlled Car, he did let go of a guitar for a moment.




At about 9 am we had Jim's Parents and sister for Breakfast.(Jim cooked again, I am so blessed with such a helping husband). It is always a great "treat" for Tasia and AJ to have G-ma and G-pa come over.Tasia usually goes Bananas, trying to entertain grandps and AJ absolutely adores Grandpa Steeve. He does not let go of him even for a minute.


The One person that we did not get to see this Christmas was my Mom. I feel sad that she lives so far away, but the thoughts of her being here for the summer worm my heart and make me feel a LOT better. We Miss you Mom and can't wait to see you here with us for the summer.
