girls weekend...

So i had my first girls weekend, no kids, no husband... Rachel Herring and I headed to Grand Junction and on the way we stayed in Rifle colorado.. We ate at Sonic, and then went to hotel to swim and hang out in the jacuzzi.  Then watched tv, read, and headed to bed.. Then of course i slept in ugh... till 8:39 when the phone rang...haha little madi couldn't find her stuff!!  So we got up and headed to GJ, shopped, ate and had alot of fun!! I did miss my kids and hubby, would totally do it again!! Good times!!

first steps...

It only took her one try... and she did it.. On friday April 28 Morgan took her first 8 steps, and hasn't stopped!! She has now used her freedom to climb on chairs, on top of the kitchen table, and is still trying to master climbing onto the fireplace... She loves the freedom, and she still gets so excited when she is walking and clapping her hands...
Mason has discovered a love for the outdoors!! If he can't get out, he SNEAKS OUT!! If he can get past the gate of the kitchen, he goes to the sliding door, slips down the stairs, and has reached FREEDOM... He is a sneaky one as well....and together i can't leave them alone for one second...

April Birthday Bash, Easter, Comings and Goings....

So tonight we celebrated, 3 BIRTHDAYS!!!!
Morgan 22   1
Mason 23  2
Avery 24  5

Yes, all in a row!!! It was so fun, they each had their own cakes, and we had banana and chocolate cream pies, thank you Marie Calendars (frozen)...hahaha

Morgan loved the flame from the candle, and once she figured out what she was eating, she dug in till she was gone!!!

Mason blew out his candles before we even had gotten to the middle of the song!!!

Avery just loved the fact that she got to share the easter holiday with her birthday!!!

Time just goes by too fast, love my babies!!!
My dad, and allie, were able to come up and visit with us, and share in all the celebration...

They were also able to watch Maddy and Wesley perform at the Craig Town Talent show!!!
Maddy sang and danced with her singing group (by Tami Ahlmer) and Wes performed with a group from school!!

Wes is doing track this year and is really enjoying it!! He got his first 3rd place ribbon..he was so proud!!

Taylor has ended basketball, Jared, Evan and Maddy are getting ready for baseball....Wes will do tennis and whatever else we can come up with.. and of course swim lessons along the way!!!

the kids are down to 5 weeks left of school, and really hope to do some fun things this summer... better start planning!!!

another day...

So today Wesley was set apart as the Deacon President, and I was at home with sick babies :(  I wasn't happy about that, but I wouldn't have been happy at church either with sick babies, hanging on me, crying, coughing, and snotting up everything in site!!! I also missed Lee speaking in church, but he always does  a great job!! He is a very inspiring man!! Love him...

Had a girls night/minute to win it game night at my friend Brittany Nielson's house.  It was so fun, and things that didn't look that hard were, and when you get laughing girls and trying to steady a spaghetti noodle in your mouth= not going win :(  Good food, good games, great gals!!!

So Taylor played in her first AAU 6th grade basketball game!! (and she is in 5th)  She did so good!! I can see improvement in her and starting to get so excited for her as she keeps getting better, stronger and confident in her game!! They let a few 5th graders join the team, and though she doesn't get too much playing time, hopefully she will gain by the experience and by watching and learning at practices!!!

Jared just turned 10 a week ago, and I still don't want to believe it!! He got to hang out with his friends in BC for his birthday, and got football themed presents!! Receiving gloves, football tie tac, football scripture case, and reading chart with pen... and a Jersey from his grandma stuart!! I hope he likes football!!!

welll..........

So on day 4 or 5 of little sleep, Mason has had a bad earache, and he is finally asleep.  I have Avery on one side of me asleep, and Lee on the other side asleep, and all this on the couch, as i type!!! Why am I still awake, well someone has to look for a van, decide if we should buy or build a house, look for coupons, decide what to do for sharing time this sunday, see if there are any cute crafts that i want to look at and decide if i can do it or not, when there is no craft store, or garage sales going to find that one amazing deal to turn nothing into something...all the while listening to evan and mason and morgan hack their lungs out.. :( but hey its all good, have a great lunch planned tomorrow with the ladies and will take a break!! good times...Mason is starting to say morgans name.  and tell the kids to go to bed... so funny!!
