I need help

ok, number 1: I need a pic of michelles new hair ASAP!!! and number 2: I need to "cutesie up" and personalize the layout and design of my blog. Especially since I will have this as a link on my official "sugarjane" website. How the heck can I spruce it up and make it look so stink'n fabulous. Sara, Michelle, Brittney! You're pages are so cute and mine are not so much. Please help!!!!! I think I need some advice on how to do good set ups for my posts too. Their just kinda all over and not very neat and tidy. My snow one took and hour to put together. Not good for productivity's sake.
Love Mandi

Snow, snow, snow, snow, SNOW

Brock with Grandma trying on all his cute beanie and gloves. Brock was distracted by my Dad's dog Nacho.

The boy's 1st experience in the snow was very short. About 10 minutes. We drove up to Cedar Canyon and man was is windy. As you can see by the look on their faces, they were facing the wind and just a note..... It was Hecka Cold!!!!!

"It's hard to smile when the snow is blowing in our eyes and up our noses!!!"

Snow Princess Amber

Here is my sister Amber the snow princess. Doesn't she just look picture perfect. It made me realize after the fact that I should have taken off my sunglasses for the pictures that are up next.

Aunty Amb and Brock. He didn't know what the heck was going on. Just sat there they whole time with a straight face. I think he was just focusing on breathing with the wind being and strong as it was.

Me and my Brockers, again, just like, "what the heck is all this crazy stuff and why are we out here in the feezing cold!"

My Dad. Having fun watching my kids freak out about the snow.







Branson's favorite thing about Christmas...........



His 2 minute sled ride before the wind picked up enought and blew so much snow around that you couldn't see 5 feet in front of you. You could call it Blizzardy even..... Although I'm probably way off considering I've never even lived in snow.

Amber and I trying to keep warm by huddling together. Did I mention it was so COLD and windy!!!

Look very closely.........

Can you see the snow blowing into our faces??? That face is Branden saying "ahhhh!!!" by the way. The pelting snow flurries is why I kept on my protective eye gear!! :P

Our drive home. No, it's not a metor shower. That's the snow zooming by the car. We are only driving like 15 miles an hour.
I said it was like a blizzard, but my dad just laughed at me. He went to Billings, Montana on his mission so I'm pretty sure he's been in a real blizzard.
But can you blame me? I'm from southern Arizona, and blowing snow and freezing cold air equals blizzard to me. :D

See the white splotches....... thats snow on my camera lens. Ain't it purdy? I was trying to capture what we were driving in, but it didn't quite work out. It was a "had to be there" moment.
So, despite all that, it was so beautiful and I was sad that the weather was so crazy. I was really looking forward to playing in the snow with my boys, which never happened. But the boys loved it and after all, that's what matters. Right?

a collage of pics.

So first here is a duo of pics with my very best and most treasured friend Michelle and her perfectly adorable son Dax.

Do you not love how in the 1st pic Brock is ready and cheesing and in a 2nd go for Dax, Brock is so like, "I was ready the 1st time." He almost looks like he's sticking his nose in the air.

The boys had tons of fun playing together. Here is Brock pushing Dax around in his highchair. I'm guessing by the look on Dax's face that he's not quite sure why he's moving.

Happy New Year!!!!

Spencer and I took the kids to see the St. George fireworks. They weren't great. But the kids had fun being up at midnight and drinking hot chocolate. Here they all are from left to right: Branson, Ashley (she was freezing), James, Spencer, Kaylee, and Riley. They all are too crazy. I love 'em!!!

Me and my favorite brother named Spencer. I like to call him Spinner though.
