You want a piece of me?

We call this her "buff-girl" walk... Isn't she "buff"!

While down in Utah...

(See previous post)
Me and the two little girls left dad and the two big kids in Idaho while we went to Utah to welcome baby Londyn to our family, and while were were down there we decided to party with some of the cousins. On Monday February 22nd it was Clover's forth birthday and we had a "clover" birthday party with her at Aunt Cassie and Uncle Jason's house in Lehi, UT.

We enjoyed birthday cake with song with future sister-in-law Kira...

pizza, one of Clover's favorite meals...

The party hosts...

And only a part of the party goers.

After an evening of serious birthday partying, there is nothing quite like a nice warm bath, soft towels, and clean sheets to end the day.

Warm, cuddled up, happy and ready for bed.

P.S. Tanya, where are the pictures....duh!!!

Londyn Mya Dalton (my new niece)

It has been a whole decade since a new baby has entered the family (Dalton or Conder side), other than my own. On February 20th the Dalton side of the family welcomed a beautiful baby girl named Londyn, and she is the first daughter and child of my youngest brother Chad (who is a mere 36 years old) weighing in at 8 lb 2 oz and 20 inch's long.

She is SO sweet. I have been so excited for her arrival...she is my "little" brothers baby....does it get any better than that!! She is a great nurser and she takes a Binky with out trouble at all.

Nicole (her mommy) and I just couldn't help but have a photo shoot with her. She was just fine with it until we started pushing our luck...

I am sure she will grow to love these leg warmers and head band once she realizes they aren't going anywhere for the next two years at least.

Don't you just love her hair. Both Chad and Nicole are blonds (go figure) and they are crossing their fingers that she keeps it for a while.

Fashion forward Clover

Forget about snow boots, pants, coats, hats, gloves, scarfs, etc for February snow storms.

Galoshes, legwarmers, swimming suit, jacket, and goggles are the NEW thing for this harsh winter weather.

With cheeks like these who wouldn't want them seen.

Clover insisted on wearing this outfit for the errands we had to run this day and let me tell you about ALL of the looks I got....most accompanying a smirk and nod of understanding from empathetic parents who've been there done that.

She did look cute though and when she had her goggles down over her eyes every wintry cold heart she encountered melted away just like the Spring thaw.

Taekwondo

Taekwondo....Dalton LOVES it.


He participated in his second tournament since starting in August and he did really well.

He got second in forms (up from fourth in the September tourney) and FIRST in weapons...his first time competing with them.

Dalton is very powerful and sharp in his movements (like I was in my cheerleading days...he hates it when I say that..) and he has a lot of strenght...he holds the studio record for the longest plank held by anyone ever, even the black belts and the fourth degree black belt instructor Josh....8 minutes 10 seconds!

That's my boy.

2 in 2

In the past two years we have had our credit card/debt card number stolen twice and it was my husbands both times.

After the first time we were issued new cards with new numbers so this time around it is with the new number. Last time the criminal bought a membership at Christian Singles.com (oh the irony)and bought a girl some flowers and chocolates. I think they spent $60 to $100 dollars, maybe closer to $200. This time around in one day they spent over $1000.00, yep, one THOUSAND dollars! And on what you might ask...online games, downloads, movies, and computer equipment.

Last time I felt very confident and comforted with the customer service we received from our bank, but this time around not so much. The girls we have been working with just don't have the "it" factor. I hope we catch the thief this time. I just want to know who, where, and how.
