For all you avid OFFICE watchers!!




For Valentine's Day this year, I gave Mark this bobblehead of him in honor of Dwight Schrute. If you recall, Angela gave Dwight one for Valentine's Day. This is our FAVORITE TV SHOW by far!! It has far exceeded our expectations and we cannot wait to put our kids to bed and watch it tonight. I am way excited to see what happens with Pam and Jim. Hope you all remember to watch it too!! If you haven't watched it yet, rent all the previous seasons before you watch season 4. It takes a couple episodes to really understand the humor and awkwardness of the boss Michael, but well worth the 30 minutes of sitting on the couch!!

Girl's Night Out



Last night, the ladies I am in Young Women's with went to dinner and had a Girl's Night!! It was fun and nice to be without children!! I have such a great husband who is sweet enough to still let me do girl things. I guess it's because I am sweet enough too and let him do guy things like watch USC football. :) But we had a great night and enjoyed our conversation of scary stories.

My little Dancer!



Elli takes tap/jazz/tumbling class on Mondays at the new Club Dance Studio here in Queen Creek. Her and her friend Olivia Slade go together. It is quite fun to watch her try to do the simpliest steps. She doing a heel step in this picture. Such a fun age for dancing!!

Baby News....

Well, Mark and I found out we are having another little Baker. This is number 3 and I've heard 3 throws you for a loop! I was #3 in my family and I was an angel, so how hard can it really be? Our first 2 were good little babies. We are bound to have a hard one sometime, right? But let's hope not. But we are expecting April 28th!! I am really baby hungry right now so I am way excited for this one!!

Some of my FAVORITE Pictures

They are so much fun when they get along. They love playing with the Lite Brite and all sorts of games!! What angels they are!!



They found some mud in our backyard and decided to play in it. Just because it was dad's turn to clean them up, it was totally adorable how they acted when we found them!! J/K about them being angels!! :) They work well together to create havoc!!


Elli wanted to dress up in Braeden's Halloween crayon costume from a couple years ago and wouldn't let me take her out of it. She wore it for a couple days.



Yes, our kids know who the Simpsons are because of their sweet Aunt Kara who introduced them to the Game Cube Simpson's game. Thanks Kara!!




My Dad, Mark and the kids walking back from Braeden's music perfromance holding hands.



Elli and daddy being cute together!!



Elli wearing a fun mask that scared her when someone else was wearing it.



My Braeden with the cutest freckles ever!! I can't stand how cute he is!! He sure is edible!!



My mom and I went to lunch one day and we got ice cream after. It was too cold for Elli, hence the weird face expression!

Our Mammoth Trip!

It's a tradition for Mark's family to go to Mammoth Lakes, California every year. We did a ton of fishing which the kids loved. We caught a lot of fish but never had an opportunity to eat any. It was a real disappointment not cook any of them up.





Elli with her little cousin Bryce. They are only a month apart. They are adorable together!!






Our little Braeden trying to copy his dad by doing a handstand into the pool of the condo we stayed in. He ended up getting it down pretty well. He has no fear when it comes to things like that!!






Elli loves listening to my iPod. She was totally singing to "You Got A Friend In Me" from Toy Story. She has a crush on Woody from that movie and carries around the doll around the house. Even though she has a lot care Bears and My Little Ponies, she still like Woody.






There is a trolly that goes around town and Braeden and his cousin Carson wanted to go for a ride, so we did.





More fishing..... Braeden got his clothes wet and was cold, so he proceeded to take them off.




Elli just learned to do the "I Love You" sign and it is the cutest thing watching her little fingers get in that position. It's one of my favorite features she has.





We were fishing until it got dark and this was the view we had when the sun went down. It was more beautiful than the picture shows.






After we went swimming in Yosemite, It was pretty cold after we got out, but they looked so cute sitting on that chair!!







Elli and her cheezy smile again. Always ready for any picture to be taken of her.





We were driving out of Yosemite and noticed people climbing this granite rock. So we stopped and thought we would do some climbing ourselves. It was pretty exciting for Braeden. He and his cousins ran up the rock as fast as they could.




Our beautiful little girl posing on the granite rock!!

CHEEZE!!



Elli is always trying to make us laugh. She came to me telling me to laugh while she wore the Mr. Potato Head teeth. She has a corky personality with an adorable face.
