SLC again...

It seems like we have been going to SLC every other weekend this last little bit.  So staying true to our form, we were again down there this last weekend.  Josh wanted to go see "Throwdown Showdown"  or "Showdown in the Throwdown" or whatever it is called.  He had a couple of friends that were fighting at the Energy Solutions Arena so he wanted to go watch them.  So we headed off for another quick weekend.  The fun thing for me was that Heather and Tina met me in Salt Lake and we went to lunch and did a little shopping on Saturday.  It was so fun.  It reminded of the good ole' times from HS and college.   Josh took the girls to the RV show at the Expo center while Heather, Tina and I went to Pei Wei and then to Tai Pan.  Ahhh memories!

Josh did the last post on our blog which is why there was only pictures.  However I did want to point out the beautiful picture of our fish tank.  This lovely tank is the center of our, I mean his, universe right now.  He lives, breathes, eats and drinks for that fish tank.  He was finally able to get some cool fish in and has spent many, emphasize many, hours (and dollars) getting everything set up and situated.  He keeps telling me that as soon as it gets up and running that he won't be going to the pet store every day, but I've been hearing that for a couple of months now.  

As you can see it now has sand in it.  Mind you, it started out with rocks.  So we had to drain the tank down to 2 feet of water instead of 4 and then hire our 8 year old neighbor boy to climb down into the tank, and hand the rocks out one at a time.  All the while he keeps screaming, thinking that either the crab or the eels are rubbing against his legs.  I wish I would have taken pictures.  It was quite the ordeal. 3 hours later, the rocks were out and we were on our way to a sandy bottom.  Long story short, the fish tank takes up a lot of his time (and money).  If I would have known fish could be such a pain in the butt, I would have just let the kids get a dog, which by the way is probably never going to happen!

This is just a quick shot of our little cuties!

Photo Shoot without Mom's knowledge

This is what happens when your kids get a hold of your camera.  They perform their very own photo shoot.  I walked into this craziness and these two were having a grand ole time taking pictures of one another.  There were probably about 40 pictures on my camera.  Thank heavens for digital cameras.  My mom would have killed us back in the day if we would have used up all her film.  Film?  That is almost an ancient word.  (My mom just joined the digital club at Christmas this year.  She was still developing film after all these years.)

And yes I let my children dress themselves especially on Sunday's after church since we don't go anywhere.  Kenady's outfit isn't too bad, but Presley has on quite the ensemble.   She is sporting the nastiest princess shirt she could find in her drawer and you can't see but she even has shorts on over her tights but under her skirt.  Fashionista?  I think so!

My kids are soooo cute!  I love them!

Teag's Blessing

Teag was blessed on January 4th in Rock Springs WY.  We were lucky enough to have almost both of our entire families come to support us.  It was a lot of fun to have everyone come to the blessing and then to dinner afterward.  It was so nice to actually have room for everyone as well.   

Grandma Stella brought over his blessing outfit only to find out that we couldn't fit him in it.  I told her that it was fine and we would somehow get him in it in the morning.  She was not satisfied and went off to the mall (By the way, for those of you who don't know, the mall in Rock Springs hardly deserves to be classified as a mall.) I told her that I was pretty sure that she wouldn't be able to find anything at the "mall."  But lo and behold she found a different outfit at Herbergers ( basically the only store in the mall) that was 3-6 months size instead of 0-3 months.  So long story short, we got an outfit that he could fit into.  This one was even a little short.  I guess I have really long and tall children.  I'm OK with that though.  

Thanks to everyone that make the trip and all the support.  We love you!

Don't they look handsome?
I love this picture.  He kinda looks like an old man.  Its like the Curious Case of Benjamin Button!

And don't you love how his little ear pokes out.  Like father, like son! ( Apparently Josh has a pokey ear.  I've never thought so but all his siblings and Mom and Dad can sure attest to it.  He must have grown into his ear over the years.)

Late Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas.  Ours was very nice.  I'm a little slow with the Christmas blog, but here is a picture of our three little ones on Christmas morning.  They were very pumped to get a kitchen set and Littlest Pet Shops.  

We had an awesome dinner with our good friends Wade and Tanya on Christmas Eve and we had our little children try to re-enact the nativity while Josh read Luke 2.  It was very interesting.  We had a Mary, baby Jesus (Teag), a sheep, a donkey and a wiseman that kept removing his costume.  It was a little hit and miss, but I guess it doesn't have to be perfect in order for the kids to learn about Christ's birth.  

We went to Salt Lake on Christmas Day and spent a couple of days with the Nacey family.  It was a good time.  I got to do a little after Christmas shopping at Tai-Pan Trading.  For those of you who don't know its an awesome home decorating store that has killer deals and beautiful decorations.  All of their Christmas stuff was 50% so I got a car full, including a new tree.  It is pre-lit, ( I feel like I'll be living the high life when I pull it out next year.  No more stringing lights around branches for me!  I can't wait.)

Josh got me a prized possession for Christmas, a treadmill.  I'm in heaven not having to bundle up the kids to go to the gym.  Its so nice!  Plus Josh and I started P90X this week, (come on, you've all seen the info-mercials).  I'm trying to get back into pre-Teag shape and Josh is humoring me because he's already in awesome shape.  So every morning we get to work out together and I love it.  Its a pretty hard core workout so I better start seeing some results :)

New Pictures!

Its been a while since I posted any pictures so I thought I would share.  Things are busy as ever here at the Nacey residence.  With Christmas stuff and office stuff and kids stuff we've been keeping it hopping.  But I've decided that I would almost rather have it like this than have time on my hands to watch the latest soap opera or whatever it is that is on TV.  Josh and I strive to watch one show on Thursday nights at 8:00pm.  "The Office."  That show is so funny.  Sometimes its difficult to get that in, but its all good!  Here are some pictures of us lately.

Jenna came to visit us this weekend.  She is home from college in Oklahoma.  Its been nice having her here.  My girls absolutely love her.  Kenady always wants her to have a sleepover in her room.  

Kenady and Presley cheesing out.  I have a hard time getting a picture of them where they are both looking at the camera.  Plus I'm very bad at taking pictures so they never turn out very good.  But I think they look so cute in this one.  I am a little biased though:)
Here is our little man Teag.  He is such a good baby.  We love every little thing he does and every little noise he makes.  Josh and I get a good laugh when he tries to focus he eyes so much that he goes cross-eyed.  He is sooo cute.
Go Gators!!! Josh is a major fan of the Florida Gators.  Teag wore this outfit last weekend for the SEC Championship and will wear it again for the BCS Championship game. ( I hope it still fits him in a few weeks. He's growing so fast.)
