Spring Fever!

I am so excited for spring. I have been cleaning, cleaning and cleaning. Okay so I hired someone to do it! Yesterday I worked in the yard, set up bunk beds for the little girls, and cleaned out the laundry room. Today I had the vents, carpet, and tile steam cleaned. I worked in the yard while it was being done. They had a problem with the equipment and didn't finish until 3:00pm. (They got here at 9:00 am.) I was up late getting furniture moved so ALL of the carpet could be done.
Now I am exhausted. So I am going to bed. Oh yeah, I scored a goal in my soccer game. Go me!!!!

The Annual Easter Party!

Tonight I went to my friends and stuffed Easter eggs. Yes Easter eggs already! My friend puts on this huge party every year. There is an egg hunt, a barbecue, one of those big blow up slides, and kids kids and more kids. We usually hide 3,000 eggs. That is why we start stuffing them now.

Tim is gone. He is in Asia. He is not loving the food. From the pictures, I don't blame him. The kids love being able to talk to him on the webcam. It is really cool. I don't think he can ever really hear what Emmie is saying. He always replies, "that is great!" We miss him so much.

I painted Ryanne and Emmie's bedroom today. It isn't quite done. But, they are so excited!I will blog pictures of all the rooms. I promised myself that when I quit work I would decorate the kids rooms. Well, I am finally doing it.

BAD BLOGGER!

I know. I am a bad blogger/bad auntie/bad mom/bad friend. It is just that it is hard to imagine anybody wanting to know some of the day to day events of our family. I am working on my attitude-promise.
I failed to mention that my best friend and nephew turned four in February. Sam is four and mad that his mom is pregnant with another GIRL!!!! He says he "hates dirls". One day that will change.
I got the opportunity to take him to the store with me so he could pick his present. We had so much fun. Even Emmie was so concerned with finding him just the right toy. She was sure that he needed a barbie. Thank goodness he disagreed.



A few days after Sam's birthday I watched my friend's little girl Quincy. My girls were in heaven. Not long after she got here she crawled downstairs wearing a pink dress up. It was so cute. We all had a great time. Except for my nephew Sam. He was a little mad at me for having another "little friend". After dinner he came and said, "Auntie where did you find that?" I guess he is lucky that she was just visiting.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend my cousin's wedding at the Logan Temple. It was so nice. He looked so happy and his wife was so pretty. It made me so grateful for my own wedding day. When no one in the world mattered but Tim and I. It was so fun.

Til' next time!

Skiing!

No school today and nothing to do????We went skiing for the day at Sundance. I thought I was pretty cool and as you can see.....I fell a few times. Ryanne and Jaxson flew past me. Oh alright-EVERYONE flew past me. I am getting better though. It was such a fun family day. We ate at the Brick Oven when we were done and then came home to get ready for bed. I am old and tired. It was a beautiful day.

Presidents Day!

We had planned to going skiing today. We all got up at 6am so we could be there in time for Emmie's lesson. We ate breakfast, got dressed, and turned on the news. They were showing pictures of the roads leading up the canyon. More cars were off the road than on. We all put our jammies back on and went back to bed.......

Later we went to Chili's for lunch and then saw "Bridge to Terabithia". It was really good, but sad. We ended up having a fun day....Just not the day we had planned.

We had a pretty uneventful end of the week. I love that. Thursday was the usual car pools, basketball games, dance etc. . I went to a baby shower in Salt Lake for my mom's cousins daughter. (Did you get that-I don't really either!) She is thinking about naming her baby girl "Ryanne". That is a great name. The name of a winner. Ryanne, Emmie, Hanna and Tim went skiing for the day at Sundance. The other two kids couldn't miss school so they stayed home and spent the afternoon with me.

Friday I had a soccer game. We killed them. I don't remember the score. I was so happy to be breathing at the end I really didn't care what the score was. Soccer is hard-it doesn't matter how much I work out-I am dead after every game. I did get the pleasure of going on a "date" with Jaxson and his friend Bryce. We went to IHOP. I really don't like that place but the boys love it and well......

Today is Saturday. We have been to COSTCO-I love that store. I just got home from running. It is so nice outside I think I went pretty far. I will have to measure when we go out tonight. Tim and I are going out with some friends. Yes, it's true a real live DATE!!!

Monday we are going skiing at the Canyons. There is not one hotel room in Park City that is available tomorrow night. So we are not going until Monday morning. I am sure we will have fun.

VALENTINES DAY!!!

I decided to go all out this year. (Don't anyone get used to it). I made pink pancakes for breakfast. Each kid got a "goody" bag. The table was set in red for the festivities. This is what it looked like.


Everyone got a new pink shirt to wear to school today. I even made barretts with hearts on them for Ryanne and Morgan. This is how cute everyone was before school.



Tim is home this week so he helped with the party in Morgan's class and I helped in Hanna's. We sent extra treats with Ryanne-her party was already taken care of. (Thank Goodness)

Tim and I went to Park City overnight on Sunday. We spent Monday hanging out and shopping. I loved it. That was our Valentine celebration before we came home to the masses. Thanks Tim. I had a great time.

I was up early and I am off to bed. Happy Valentines Day!
