Spring Feast

The girls and I were tired of winter, so we threw a spring feast to celebrate the spring equinox and welcome in some good weather. Too bad it snowed the next day.

Last Weekend

We all had a relaxing weekend in St. George. Thanks Karen!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

That blasted leprucan (spelling?)!!!!! Last night we set our traps and waited patiently, but this morning we awoke to find a busted trap, the kitchen cupboards open, pictures overturned, backpacks on the ceiling fan AND he turned our milk green!!!!! I wish I had a picture of my kids faces. It made cleaning it up all worth it. I hope they never grow up.

A few pictures

I have posted alot of pictures of Grace lately, so here are some of the rest of the family.

Brett and Carter watching NASCAR. Ava in her iceskating outfit. I think the she's got potential. Watch out Johnny Weir.
Carter in his favorite place, the tub. Sometimes we have to stop tubby time and refill with warm water. That's the down side of 30 minute plus tubs.

What a cute naked man in my bed. I could hardly wait to climb in between the sheets with him!!!!

Happy Birthday Mom

Today is my mom's birthday and I thought I would do a little post in her honor. I went through most of my teenage years thinking my mom knew very little. It wasn't until after I got married and had kids that I realized just how much my mom knew. I know that my mom gave up a lot when we were little to give us all the oppurtunities we had growing up. It wasn't until I started paying for dance that I put two and two together that the reason she wore sales rack clothing to my softball tournaments was so I could go to said tournaments. I am glad for the all the times she was a "mean mom" because I know it helped me become the person I ma today. She is a wonderful grandmother who is always willing to come support and help with her grandkids. My mom can iron the crap out of anything. There are a few shirts I can't bring myself to wear because after she ironed them they look so pretty and I know I will never get them looking that good. My mom doesn't really like to cook, but I will take one of her fried eggs anytime. And she makes the best toffee, ever. End of discussion. If it came down to a weed off, my mom would clean Martha Stewart's clock in a matter of minutes and then go on to clean the house so well you might think she was married to Mr. Clean. A few years ago my mom got really sick and I thought we might loose her. I thought about all the memories we made and all the memories that we would be cheated out of making. I prayed really hard that she would get a chance to see her grandkids grow up. Not because I thought she needed to be there, but because I knew I need her to be there to for me. I am so glad she made it. Life wouldn't be the same without her. I don't know if you read my blog mom, but if you do Happy Birthday. Here's to another 39 years with you!!
