Spring?!

For everyone that lives by me, it sure can be confusing if spring is EVER going to come! We were outside enjoying the weather a few days ago and BAM, we were hit with snow again.. Here is a picture of my tulips! The poor things are probably confused if it was the wrong time to grow!

So for now we will keep on waiting for those summer days to come. We are definitely ready!!!

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Fun times with the kids!

This picture doesn't do it justice but it was yummy, promise!

Lacey enjoying herself at the park!

Bryce and Rusty showing me how they can pump!

We have had such a great time celebrating green day! Monday for family night I made a pretty good dinner, I have to admit! Baked chicken, baked potatoes with green sour cream, and steamed broccoli. The kids thought is was so cool eating a green potato!:) Even though it was a day early! We even got to enjoy our sweet little cousin, Kylee, what a cutie!

Then on the real day we took off to Logan with some friends and ate lunch at Cafe Rio and after got to enjoy a wonderful day at the park! It was the first time this year, does that mean spring is here?!? We had a fun time in the sun. Can't wait to spend everyday outside. We sure did enjoy it!

10 Year Annivarsary!!!

Kirb threatened me not to put any pictures of just him, but I couldn't resist! Sorry babe:) Love this picture. Bryce and Rusty giving daddy a workout!

Say cheese!!! Mommy and Lacey did swim, but Lacey was not real fond of it! So it didn't last long.

What a great ride we have been on for the last 10 years! We are loving every minute of it! The big day was actually March 12. I couldn't stop thinking about our wedding day and how much we have learned, grown,(in the gospel) and changed. All for the good. Our marriage truly gets better everyday. I love the man I married!

So to celebrate, we decided it would be a family affair. We went to Logan and stayed in the Crystal Inn. The boys adored the elevators and of course the swimming pool. We decided to make a pie run around 9 o'clock that night and we each got our own piece of pie! (yummy) It was a great little excursion.

No, it was not romantic, or a second honeymoon that's for sure, but we love to celebrate with our kids. Their were some years we wondered if we would ever get to have a little family on earth. They are each such a miracle and a blessing that was so greatly wanted. We are so blessed...

Yes, we will still have a little getaway all by ourselves. So get ready grandma!!

I am so grateful for my husband and couldn't survive a day with out him! He keeps me going. Along with our sweet kids. I am so grateful for the priesthood in our home and all the blessings we have seen right before us through it. The gospel is a great part of our lives. Kirby is such and great example, husband, and daddy! I Love You, babe.

Tooth Fairy Time

What the heck! My children are growing and changing right before my eyes!! Bryce is not even 5 and a half and lost his first tooth!! How do children grow so fast? The other night we were eating taco salad and Bryce chomped on a chip wrong, I guess, and it made his gums bleed.

The next morning Bryce said, "Mom my tooth just popped!" A few minutes after that he was holding it in his hand! He was so excited about the tooth fairy coming and wanted to brush it so it was shiny for her!!! I think he made out pretty good with his first tooth. He got 5 bucks! He was so excited and couldn't wait to tell everyone. He said make sure you blog me so everyone can see how big I am. He is already trying to pry out another tooth so he can get even more money! So I guess the tooth fairy better be ready with some cash!!!

OH BABIES!!!

Here is our momma cat. (That's her name) She came to our house as a stray little kitten and has definitely blossomed into a big cat! Growing up I had cats that would have babies all the time and I think it is a good thing to let your children see. The boys are so excited about having little baby kitties. Last night we found a good sized box and made mom cat a little house and we even put her favorite rug in it. So we shall see in the next few days (I think) some little kitties!

If you would like one let me know it will be on your doorstep in a couple months!!!:)

All By Myself!

Here you have it. The evidence of making cinnamon toast or should I say "sugar bread!"
Things you need: Very large knife, Lots of sugar, bread, and antibacterial gel! Oh and can't forget the 3 year old for the spice!!!

Rusty is so INDEPENDANT! This morning I was getting ready to take Bryce to pre-school. So it was like usual, running around helping one kid and then another. When I was being asked questions from Rusty like, "Mom my hands have germs so I have to wash them before I can cook huh?" and "Mom is cinnamon toast good for you?" Not thinking of where or why these questions are being asked I quickly answered them in my crazy disorganized morning of trying to make it to school on time.. The stage finally came to get shoes and coats on. As I came into the kitchen this is what I saw...

I guess Rusty didn't want to take the time to wash his hands before preparing food so the hand sanitizer came in handy! :) Never under estimate your child!
