I am sure most of you were aware of the storm that past over us last night. Well at our house it happened to be about bedtime and I swear that stinking storm was right on top of us. Instead of reading bedtime stories me and the girls sat in the computer chair and watched the show. It was so cute how they acted surprised everytime there was lighting. Ahhh, the innonence of childhood. Brett and I just hoped our house didn't get hit.

Big Announcement

So I guess that I took April off from blogging, but I have a good excuse. . . . . I'm pregnant!!!!! I think that everyone that reads my blog already knows that, but it's fun to "announce" just the same. This has not been an easy journey to get to this point and I just want to thank everyone for all of their kind words of support and encouragment. I really do have the best friends and family in the world. Now that my evenings don't center around not trying to "frow-up", in Ava's words, I plan on getting back into the game.

Ok, so I just got back from Spring Fling. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a family tradition that started with my Grandma and her three sisters. Every Spring they would go someplace warm and take their daughters and daughter in laws. Then their daughters got older and started taking their daughters and daughter in laws. I now go to St. George every year with my second cousins. Yes people, not only can I pick them out of a crowd I know their spouse's and children's names, where they live, if they can do a headstand or not and who screams when they get their eyebrows waxed. I had so much fun this year. We layed out, we ate, we shopped, we stayed up all night and talked, someone made me watch Twilight (ERRRRR), we laughed and we cried and then we laughed because we were crying. I seriously have the best family ever!!!! Thanks to Monica and Mckell for setting us up in an awesome house and to everybody else for coming and having a good time. I can't wait for next year.

P.S. Is it lame that I already made a paper chain to count down the days to next March?

Ready!!!!

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go. . . . Isn't that the cutest little bed head you've ever seen. Seriously, I love being woken up by that face every morning!!!!

Good Mother/Bad Mother????

This morning Ava climbed in bed with me and read me some stories. It was really cute, except that I have two children. While I was sleeping in, Grace pulled out the toaster plugged it in and made herself some toast with cinnamon sugar. Does that make me a good mom to have raised such an autonoumous little girl or a bad mom for letting a five year old use the toaster unsupervised?
