All I want for Christmas is "a baby that swims in the whaadah"

All Maddie wanted for Christmas was "a baby that swims in the whaadah." So yesterday I gave her a bath and this is her first time in the tub with her new baby. I just had to post because she was cracking (tee hee hee) me up!!! Warning: there is some baby bum. LOL.

Merry Christmas folks!!

HO! HO! HO!


Whew! I got alot of blogging to catch up on!! Ok first off two weeks ago, Lydia got really sick with pneumonia. Poor girl was miserable! She had a high fever and just rolled around saying her chest hurt. So I took her into Urgent care on Saturday, while Twylla watched my kids. Thank you again lady!!! So here's Lydia feeling super icky!



On to kinder art..last week I thought it would so cute to make these reindeers using the kids hands for the antlers, well can I just tell you how much of an undertaking this was? It was CRAZY! Tracing all those little hands!!! I have to say that they loved them and it turned out soooo cute. Here's Kyles' reindeer and a picture of one of the Kinder teacher's who put her kiddos up on the wall. ( yes I'm proud! LOL)





Now onto the weekend. I came down with a terrible cold and I was freaking out because I finally had time to take the Power's and the Gibbens' pictures. So I decided to do them anyway and sniffled through the whole thing. LOL Anyways, I was so happy with how the pictures turned out and thanks Heather for coming along and rockin!!



{Ok I love this one! I stole the idea off of another photographer's website though, so I can't take too much credit for it anyways....this is one of my favorites! }







{Gotta Love the jumping ones..man the Power's get some air!}



So I missed work on Monday and Tuesday because Maddie was spiking almost a 104 fever and I felt worse. So long story short I ended up with a sinus infection. I went to the my Doctor Now place and got in and out but they prescribed me a 35 dollar antibiotic so I of course had to wait till the next day to get it changed. So they change it and prescribe me one that I ALLERGIC to!! What the heck?! So that got straightened out finally and I'm feeling better. So when I sing in sacrament on Sunday.. don't be surprised if it sucks! LOL! On to the annual Wright Engineering Christmas party!! So those that know us well, we strive to bring the oddest and craziest white elephant gift's!! So this year we did an Engineer's kit that had a magnifying glass, calculator, bald man's head wipes, and an electronic kit from the 80's!! Our other was these (the largest granny panties you've ever seen) and of course the owner's wife got it!! Her or her husband ALWAYS pick our gift!!! So it was a moment of hilarity that's for sure.



We also had a gingerbread house competition and I'm sure your dying to see how ours turned out right?



One of these?



Or these?



Maybe this one?



Nope!! Here it is guys!! Gingerbread house..or as Rob puts it..Gingerbread house hit by Katrina!
Needless to say we won honorable mention!!!



Merry Christmas everyone! Wishing you a safe and wonderful Christmas! We love you guys!

For Heather.... her first ever photo shoot!!!

So I have an amazing friend named Heather, who doubles as a super awesome photographer.... who knew? LOL Well a couple weeks prior she was asking me some questions about the business part of photography. So to my excitement I asked her if she wanted to take my family pictures. I think she was a little worried at first or maybe surprised that I asked her..but she was then WAY excited to take them. So since I was doing the Powers' and the Gibbens' pictures on Sunday, I asked if she wanted to come along and take ours. She did an AMAZING job and these were her ideas! The first picture is the one in our Christmas card...THANK YOU !!!
Heather, you have a natural gift and I learned some things from you as well on Sunday. I'm so happy with how the pictures turned out and I can't wait to see you buy your first camera (you better call me so we can jump up and down like giddy school girls when you bring it home) Thank you again for doing this for my family. If you ever have any questions give me a call, I'm glad to help with whatever...and you can always call Jaime because she knows WAY more then I do!! ;)

Hmmm maybe the three of us need to go practice taking photo's sometime....

Kayli Wormell

This is one of the CUTEST little girls ever!!!! She just had her dance recital today and her mom Leslie came by for a minute and I asked her if she'd let me shoot some pictures of her. Thanks Leslie for letting me throw together a "ghetto" photo shoot on my front porch and for holding the black sheet up for me! LOL

Grandma Ann and the Kiddos!

~ I had the neato opportunity this weekend to take some pictures of all the eight grandkids for my mom's Christmas card. I of course had to go and take them at my FAVORITE place to take pictures. We were sooo very lucky because the rain that day had scared away MOST of the photographers that are usually there. So here's some of the results from Saturday's photo shoot with the Kutchinsky clan!













{This was the final picture of all the 8 grand babies..I think it turned out ok}

Florence 2nd Ward ROCKS!

So to explain this photo below, last weekend our ward had a scrapbook night at the church. Well most of us came with BAGS of stuff.... ok mostly me, and I also had my Ipod player that I was trying to keep from getting soaked from the down pour that was outside. I of course wore flip flops!! Yes water and wet cement and flip flops do not mix..lesson learned..maybe.
Anyways, I was able to take Deneigh along for the ride (which was soooo flippin awesome!!!) We arrived kinda late and got to work. Can I just say that the woman in my ward are a riot!! We had a blast talking about all sorts of things as well as swapping ideas and getting much needed advice on our projects. I chose to make my Christmas cards (which note to self, I need to finish LOL.) The only sad part was that all of my girls couldn't all make it.
So as we're packing up and are all about to leave, Aly Packard (she's in the relief society presidency) comes out wearing my relief society presidents wig!! So she comes up to me basically says "You have shorter hair, this will look better on you....put this on." All the while my RSP is cracking up!! So she slips it on and Deneigh snapped this super unflattering photo of myself!! LOL So I give the wig back and my RSP say's, "sometimes when I'm feeling a little crazy I wear it backwards." The she proceeds to put it on backwards which gets us laughing even harder. This just captures how much this ward has become my family. We can be super crazy goofy together and I'm so lucky to have these amazing sisters as friends. So what I'm pretty much trying to say is simple...Florence Second Ward ROCKS!!! Whoot whoot!!! :) Lovin my peeps!!

P.S. Do ya like the shirt? Hee hee!
