PoTtTy PrObLeMs!

Exhibit A
We have reached the stage where our little boy Spencer thinks potty talk is SO funny. He is starting to make those oh so not funny mouth noises in public and saying all those shh potty words. Abby has also joined in the potty talk (literally) by continually putting things in the toilet. You have to watch her like hawk. With that being said ,It has been a long day of modifying behavior and tomorrow we will hopefully not have the same seen as seen in Exhibit A!
P.S. For all you Cougar fans you will enjoy that this is Spencer's Utah Sugar Bowl Shirt in the pot! (Don't tell his dad!!!)

Larson Update

I have updated for the most part what we have been up to, but that seems to only scratch the surface. We bought a house in Draper in December and we are currently finishing the basement, then we will be moving in the next month or so. It has been fun and busy trying to make all the decisions for the new house. While we have been busy with that ,my parents came to Salt Lake for about 5 weeks to have a procedure done for my dad. It was fun to see them, but hard to see your dad sick, mom stressed and their mission wanting them back quickly. But, they were blessed and they returned last week to PA. My dad is doing great and happy to be back and finishing their last 5 months of the mission! We have seen all my sibling at some point this month and played with many friends. We love you all and appreciate everything that you do to make my life and my families life so full of joy and love. We will be better about keeping the posts up to date and pictures of the house coming soon!

Valentine Rain Boots

Happy Valentine's Day!
Todd and I celebrated Valentine's day and our 7 year anniversary by going to New York. We went to plays, movies, dinners and shopped. We loved being together and having fun kid free time. Thank you, Thank you Krista for being Super Aunt! But, for the kids we have a tradition of going to build a bear and then they got special Rain Boots. They have been wearing them everywhere. I send all my love to you all this Valentines!
XOXO




Abby's First Haircut!

Yes this is the before picture of Abby's First Haircut! She has always had so much hair and she needed a little trim to make things even. She loved the car she got to sit in, and was happy the whole time, she just tickles me.
Mid-way through,she is pointing in the mirror thinking she looked cute too!


Ta-Daa!
She is such a little sweet-heart! I love that she has a lot of hair for her age, it is so fun to put up and fuss with bows and curls etc.


Grandma Pugh


One of the many things that have happened over the past month or two is the passing of my Grandma. She died at the age of 97 and lived a full and amazing life. I have learned so many great stories and talents about my grandparents over the last few weeks it makes me proud of my heritage and eager to strive to follow in their paths of righteous living! I will miss taking the children to visit Grandma but I know she is happy to be with Grandpa. Her passing was one of those tender mercies from the Lord that will remain a spiritual experience and a reminder of our love our Heavenly Father has on his children!

Santa Balls

Grandma Lala never disappoints with Santa Balls! The kids loved them just as much as I did when I was there age. We had a blast unwinding all that tissue paper and collecting all the fun prizes inside!
This was the aftermath!


Christmas Did Happen!

I know Christmas was so last year, but for journaling purposes I need to catch up! We had a fun Christmas this year. The kids were at the perfect ages for it to me magical and memorable. Santa was very good to all of us! One of the highlights was that Aunt Lizzy and Uncle Jose came to our house to celebrate! Christmas Eve I made a family BINGO nativity game, it was a hit and something that will be our new tradition!
Spencer's favorite present: Joker Smashing Car!


Abby was so cute looking at everything and she loved the pirate ship filled with balls!


There is nothing better than this classic photo of Lizzy and Jose in their Christmas pj's. I still laugh as I pictured the two of them in their too tight, too awesome jams. Love you guys and thanks for coming to share the holidays with us!
