Kids, kids, kids....

So, the other day I was talking to my neighbor Jenny and she said whenever her kids do something messy, funny, outrageous, etc. she takes a picture before getting mad or cleaning up--because SOMEDAY it will be funny. So, I started thinking about all of the crazy things that Sierra has done so far in her 3 1/2 years of life. Here are a few I wish I had pictures of.....the day she got into the sugar canister and threw it--by the handful--all over the kitchen....when she unrolled all the toilet paper off a brand new roll and then dragged it down the hall...coloring with crayons the tile...when she made me keep her blankie in the fridge so it would be cold (go figure?)...how she LOVES the dirt and throws it up in the air and then lets it fall all over her.

So this last month I have a taken a few pictures of her recent antics--coloring with chalk all over the garage (power tools were never cuter than with pink chalk on them) and Easter grass all over the basement. No joke ALL over the basement. When I made her help clean it up I said, "Look at this mess!" and she said, "Yes Mom, but isn't it a beautiful mess?" You gotta love them. Even when they're messy. And someday it will be funny--but even today it makes me smile and wish they didn't grow up so fast.

Hey Everyone! This slide show is from our cruise to the Mediterranean last summer. Enjoy!

Baby Blessing

I can't believe how time flies! Kynlee is two months old and we just blessed her on July 6,2008. It really does seem like yesterday Ray and I just met each other. Almost five years and two kids later...I can't believe it's gone so fast. Anyway, having a new baby just reminds you of how wonderful babies are--that special baby smell, holding them while they sleep, their soft skin and perfect little fingers and toes, how they stare into your eyes like they already know who you are, and even how cute they are when they cry like they are going to starve in the next 30 seconds.

Most of all it reminds you how great it is to be alive and to be part of a family that loves you. How blessed and lucky we are! Kynlee and Sierra are such good girls and we have so much fun being their parents. The blessing went perfectly--complete with perfect not-to-hot weather and no wind! (what else could I expect with a perfect pregnancy, perfect delivery, perfect baby, of course--perfect blessing with no crying:) We had so many friends and family that were able to come and we had a great time visiting with all of them. For all of you that couldn't make it, we missed you and make sure to check out the pics!

Welcome!

Let me be the first to welcome myself to the wide world of BLOGGING! Yes, you got it--we are actually attempting to integrate ourselves into the technological world we have so long been avoiding. Well, maybe not proactively avoiding just actively not partaking :) But we just couldn't resist any longer.

Ray's still an agent for State Farm Insurance. So any of you that need quotes....j/k. Tappia is busy with our new little girl Kynlee Jane (who is 2 months old) and trying to keep Sierra (31/2)from smothering her to much. We still live in Idaho Falls and just love it. We love our little house and we even planted a garden this year. It looks a little sad, but what can you do? To top it all off, we have the best neighbors and friends in the world.

We hope all is well with any of you that might stop by our little corner of cyberspace!!!
