she's a maniac

our saturday plans consist of grocery shopping, super mario wii, hottubbing, and just enjoying darc's weekend off. :)

i asked pearl early this morning if she would like to go shopping. this was her response:



a cute maniac :)

frozen encounter

you know i'm shutter-happy. if you get bored, sorry.


sooo, darcy participated in our community polar bear swim this morning. he raised money for the make a wish foundation and jumped into the literally frozen reservoir . . for . . . fun. ?!?!?!

there were probably 200 people who showed-up for the event. it was about 30 degrees, snowing and sleeting off and on. they got a bunch of snow on the mountain last night and everyone was driving up the hill at a snail's pace. we had to 4x it near the top cause the conditions were so bad.

anyways, here are some sweet sweet pics from this morning. including 20+ of darcy getting in and out of the frigid lake. :) hehe

oh yeah, AND pearl and i are sick. not good timing, but someone had to take the pictures. :)

"nowing"

we woke up this morning to this:



and it was beautiful!! pearl ran up to the back door and exclaimed, "NOWING!!!" [snowing]

we shoveled the driveway and our front walk too. it was awesome. i'm not even kidding- i was so excited to do it!! pearl loved being outside and enjoyed it as well. :)

tiny typist

this just happened:
pearl was talking to grandma jensen on skype tonight and we taped a bit of it cause it was hilarious. she kept tilting her head and talking really close to the screen. she started typing something too in the middle of the conversation. :) also, she sang gma a little song and we DIED. SO CUTE. [not on the video though, sorry]

more pics and whatnots later. i promise.

**october 8th was a great day. darcy's birthday was simply celebrated with a cake and an acappella solo.













**little did he know... i had been planning and stressing over a surprise party for him the next day. he got off work at 8:15 and was tired and tired. :) we had planned on going "on a date" and our friends were set to watch pearl. when we arrived at the party, he was SHOCKED and pleasantly surprised. it was a poker party, hence the cake. a few minutes later, once everyone settled down, kelsey & jake walked in!!! darcy's sister and her husband drove from rexburg for his b-day. it was the best part of the party! kels & jake stayed the weekend with us [bonus number 2] and we had an awesome time. darcy had NO CLUE i was planning anything. thank you, thank you. :) i'm a good liar. what?

2 levels: silly movie quote tied in the poker theme
AND worst thing i have ever seen. i haven't decorated a cake before! i couldn't stop laughing at it.








**someone's having the best day ever: pearl found out that there are TWO of her baby froggies. she carried them around, hugging and kissing them, until i took them away. :)





**coat & toque from uncle jon & aunt jessie [yes, still fits AWESOME]and new scarf that i made. these pics are terrible- she just looked so cute when we went out last night

i couldn't stop myself- i see weird things sometimes and have to take pictures
