Mummy Baby

Joseph thought it would be funny to grab a roll of paper towels out of the pantry and proceed to wrap his sister up like a "mummy"! Eric walked into this...

Snow Day

Eric and I decided that it would be fun to take Jo up to the Snow for his first "Snow Day" ever! We packed a lunch, dropped Scarlet off at Grandma's and headed North.







Most people wouldn't believe that there is snow in Arizona, but oh yes...about an hour and half out of town and there you are!







It had just snowed the night before, so it was beautiful fresh snow! So fresh in fact, that you couldn't drive off the main highway onto any side roads because they hadn't been plowed! So not so good for the sledding, but we made do!

Starting out...lovin the snow!

Snow Fight with Daddy...Still lovin it!

Hated it!!!

The gloves came off and that was the end of that! Then started the Screaming demand..."Put me in the car, take all my clothes off, and turn on the heater!"

Maybe, better luck next time :)

HAPPY 2009!!!

Can you believe it's 2009??? I sure Can't! This is how the Arner's ring in the New Year...

• At 10pm you decide that it sure would be fun to have a Wii to play with


• 10:15 you bundle up the kids and head to our most hated store Walmart (because they are the only ones crazy enough to make their employees work on New Years Eve)


• 10:30-11:30 you wander around aimlessly through Walmart stuffing your cart with things that you don't need, because they are all sold-out of Wii's!


• 11:30 you get home, unload the car, and get ready to ring in the new year


• 11:45-12am you watch Carson Daly and thousands of other people freezing their booties off in time square....

Midnight!!!

JoJo was lovin the horns and whistles!!!!

Don't be jealous! I know that we lead a Very exciting life :)

Christmas Eve

Yes...these are late! But you know what they say...Better Late than Never :) Here are some Pics from Christmas Eve with the Fife Family.

We went over to Jim and Amy's for Dinner and Games. The dinner was delicious as always! Every year we play the dice game, where my Dad usually always clears the gifts out! Him and that dang good luck :)

Here is Eric and Scarlet relaxing...how precious is this pic???

Eric and I :)

Obviously...I didn't take very many pictures! But here are the few I captured.

2009 Pics!

So...Scarlet is 5 and 1/2 months, and Joseph has not had pictures taken since his first birthday. So needless to say, these pictures are a little over due...but defenitly worth the wait :)

America's Next Top Model

JoJo participated in his first Fashion Show over the weekend, and he love love loved it! I wasn't sure if he would walk the run way or just bail out at the end...but of course He stole the Show! (coming from a proud mother).

He was hillarious...he was a Big Boy and he was doing it on his own as he told me right before he walked. They said his name and he came running down the runway did a hop and a skip at the end and landed with a double thumbs up to the crowd! He stood there for a moment opening his jacket so everyone could see his shirt underneath and then ran back and jumped off the stage...Hillarious!

This is Jo, Scarlet, and Jo's friend Bella anxiously waiting for the show to begin

It's hard work being a Super Model, and you must stick to a strict diet :)

I'm proud of my little show stealer!

Hollywood here we come :)



This is Jo tonight, re-living the moment. He just can't seem to get it out of his system...

What a Blessing!

Scarlet was blessed this past Sunday (Dec. 7th). Thank you to my little brother Rusty for giving her such a beautiful blessing. I am so grateful to all of my family and friends that were able to share the day with us! We had her blessing in our ward and then my Mom put on the most amazing lunch for all of the family.

During part of the blessing, Rusty told Scarlet how much her Mom and Dad loved her and one of our friends that was in the circle told me that he peaked at that moment and Scarlet had the Biggest smile on her face!

We do love you baby girl...More than you will ever know! You are such a blessing to our lives. You amaze me as you continue to grow and learn new things every day. You are such a Happy Baby and put a smile on our faces everytime we look at you :)
