We Believe

I don't think Christmas could be any better than with little kids. Ours was magical I Hope yours was too. Heres some pictures of Christmas morning with the Toones. As you can see Blake doesn't like to hold still to much.

Getting a tree

Every year we make a trip into the mountains to cut down our Christmas tree. We had the whole Toone clan with us this year, and it was so much fun. The girls had a blast with all of their crazy uncles. Lots of good memories. On Saterday we finally got around to setting up our tree and the girls and I decorated it. They did a great job.

Fall clean up

It's that time of year again. Time to clean out my flowerbeds and get ready for the snow. Will and Blake were lots of help driving the tractor and dumping the flowers as I got them pulled and loaded. I love my boys.

Henry's Lake

A few weeks ago we decided to load up the kids and go fishing at Henry's Lake. We had so much fun. I have only been fishing once about 12 years ago and this was a whole new experiance for the kids who thought the boat was only for wakeboarding. There was a lot of screaming and flying worms. We ended up with 5 big slimy fish and some great memories ( After we caught the first fish Aubrey wanted to know where the blow hole was.) The girls also came up with some great new fishing songs. Will is such a good dad he is so busy but he always manages to come up with time for family. We are very lucky to have him.

Attention all fly babies!

What is Kristi smokin today! The answer is nothing my friends. I just wanted to let everybody know that me and my cute niece have started a new blog game/help center for our flybaby friends. A few years ago I was feeling very overwhelmed by all of the duties I seemed to be failing as mom and home maker. I just couldn't seem to see a light at the end of the tunnel that would enable me to keep up with my house work so that I would have the time to spend enjoying my family the way I wanted to. So I Got on amazon and bought a book that I had recently heard about by Marla cilley called sink reflections and it did wonders, not only did it change how clean my house was it changed my attitude. I highly recomend it to everyone no matter what stage in life you might be in. Well anyways Amanda and I will be posting a simple task or two on our blog daily. Feel free to participate at any time, and please leave your comments. I will be hoping to hear you. There is a link to our blog just us fly babies under my friends and family list.

Cute kids huh

Heres a new picture I took on Sunday of the kids looking all spiffy for church.

Here's something fun (or mabey embarassing depending on the memory) I found to do on Amanda's blog.

Directions:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Watch him grow

My little man is 6 months old today. I can't believe how he has changed. We just love him to death. He is such a sweet natured little guy and is so patient with his big sisters. Every month we take a picture of him with his puppy so that we can see how

much he has change and he definately changes alot every month. The first picture is one week, one month, two months, three months ect...

Summer Pictures

It's been a great summer! We've done tons of camping and boating, and made lots of great memories. We made two trips to Bear Lake this year and we just got back from palisades on the 19th. The girls have been in school for one week now, I can't believe Hali's in kindergarten!

Well anyhoo, here are some pictures of our summer for all to enjoy.

Summer Time

We are lovin our summer break. This past week it has finnally warmed up enough to feel like summer as well. The girls have been riding their four wheeler, playing in the sand box and jumping on the trampoline with a sprinkler. They also go through a bag of popsickles every week. Blake has been growing like a weed. He will be 4 months next week and he is already about 15 pounds. We just love him he is happy and smiley and brings sunshine into our house every day.

Pictures of Blake

Blake is now Two months old and he is the sweetest baby ever. He got his shots today, so that was sad. He weighs 12 ibs and is 23 inches long now. Here is Mr. Blake at his blessing at 6 days and last week when he was 8 weeks old. He just gets cuter and cuter.

William Blake Toone

He's here, and I am sorry I took so long to post pictures.

Blake was born on March 3, and wighed in at 8 pounds 7 ounces!

He is absoulutely gorgeous, He looks a lot like his daddy.

He is now four weeks old and we all just love him to pieces. I don't think he has hardly been put down since I had him.

Tag your it

Well Becky I did remember that you tagged me, so here it is.

-What was I doing 10 years ago-

10 years ago I was going to college at ISU and living in a little rental house with a group of girls. I was also was lookin pretty darn good, It's a good thing I didn't know what being pregnant does to a cute little body, like I used to have.( sorry I can't go more than a few minutes without complaining about my condition). I was dating William and couldn't imagine being lucky enough to be married to him with such a wonderful little family. I had no idea what I wanted to be or half of the wonderful blessings I had in store. I may have had the looks and the cute single girl car, but I wouldn't trade them for where I am now. I am a very lucky (chubby) girl.

-5 Things on my to do list-

#1 Have a baby.

#2 Register Hali for kindergarten. Yes folks thats right Hali will start kindergarten in the fall, I want to cry thinking about it.

#3 Finish my college degree.

#4 Clean out the suburban ( not my favorite)

#5 Did I mention I'm having a baby in 2 days?

-My favorite snacks-

Any peanut butter chocolate combination.

-3 bad habits-

#1 Whenever I am reading a good book I let my house work totally go.

#2 Sometimes to save time in the evening I feed my kids dinner while they are taking a bath.( they actually love it when I do this)

#3 I always forget to gas up the car and end up making my self late for apointments because of emerancy gas stops.

-Something people don't know about me-

When in proper form I am an excellent belly roller.

Now I would like to tag Amanda and Kristen and Marci

Ya whoooo Hannah Montana!

Ginger and I took the girls to the Hannah Montana Concert in the theater in Pocatello. They had a blast dancing and singing in their sweet Hannah wigs.

The cutest girls in town!

The girls look so cute in these pictures, I had to post a few for everyone to see.

The date is set!

Well the date is set. We have a scheduled c-section for monday March 3rd. We can't wait to meet our little man! I've had some requests for some belly shots so I have included a fat and sassy picture of yours truly taken by our own Aubrey Toone. I would like to mention that I measure bigger now at 34 weeks than I ever did with the girls, We'll just hope all that stretched out skin is somewhat retractable.

Welcome from the Toones

Hello welcome from the Toones!
William, Kristi, Aubrey, Hali and the soon to be baby brother Toone( no name yet).
