Sunday, Sunday

Well even attempting church today was a big flop! We were all ready and even on time (I am never late) and we sit. Then it started.... Katie wouldn't leave Simon alone, Leo already had one of his toys, Simon wanted to get down and crawl. If it wasn't Katie it was Leo if not them then Simon. It was a horrible unbreakable circle. So after the bread and water we left. That is the most important part... right. Well i tried and that's what counts. So we came home. Kids played VERY quietly upstairs for a while then got bored and made their way downstairs. Made a ton of noise but hey, we were home so who cares. In the mean time...





I got a dress made. It is really cute on Katie but I told her she has to earn it. She has not been staying in bed and she has been doing a lot of back talking. So she will have to be nice to me for a while and go to bed when told.... then she can have it.

Oh yeah, I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new treadmill! I am not trying to brag, I am just so excited about it! Thanks again Honey!!

Best Man Ever!!

See I told you I had the best husband ever!!! This is my mothers day gift!! I am so excited about it. I had it put together within the first 2 hours it had arrived!!




Still in the box....



TA DA!!! I am so luck to have such a wonderful husband!!



Yeah I know may not be so exciting for you. But for me I am on cloud 9!!

Thank you Honey!! I love you!!!

Ride Katie ride!!

Katie learned to ride!! This is me helping her.



This is 10 min. later.




I am so proud of her for not giving up. She has spent many different days trying and trying. And all of the sudden something clicked and she got it!! I am glad she only crashed into a bush once and then got right back up and got back on. She was very persistent. And I spent all of those days following her and doing all of her balancing. Today was the first day that I was doing no work helping her balance, so I just let go and told Katie I had let go and she just went. So exciting!

Simon smiles

My sister posted a video of her baby blinking his eyes real cute in a lovingly kind of way, and I noticed Simon did it a lot too. So I thought I would share too. It is really cute!

Pictures!! Finally

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY SIMON!!

He sure did enjoy that cake of his!

This is Katies cake. I didn't ever get a picture of her blowing out the candles I guess. I thought I did. But we were manning the video camera as well. She asked for the star cake.

Simon was being cute with a bowl on his head. I just walked in and there it was. It fell off a few times and he kept putting it back on. It was WAY cute!!

I guess that's all I could find for now. I thought I had more. Sorry.

Happy blogging!

Grateful Sunday

So much to be grateful for this past week. Ok I am not so grateful for the sickness but its just something that happens in life right? So because of the sickness that went around our house it leaves us with me being grateful.

I am grateful for...

*Kids who take being sick very well.

*Katie who helped so much with playing with Simon while Leo was sick.

*Neighbors who came over to give Leo a blessing.

*My kids wanting to help me as much as possible while I was sick (it turned out being more frustrating than helpful).

*Friends who were able to drop what they were doing and watch my kids while I was sick.

*Neighbors who sent their husbands over to give me a blessing.

*The feeling of not being sick anymore!

It was a rough week and I am glad it is over. I have been very blessed this week to have such wonderful friends. I have felt the Love of our Savior in our home so much this week. I am glad we were able to survive it.

Now to move on to a new week with happy healthy kids.

The Time Traveler's Wife

Just got done watching this movie...

(Photo found at this site)

Bawled my eyes out at the end!! Makes out to be a love hate movie. I love it!! But at the same time I hate crying over movies and this one REALLY got to me!! But it was good. Although it reminded me of the movie The Lake House. Another good movie that I am going to be watching again soon.
