Spring?


Spring has sprung, the grass is WHITE? This is what happened here last night! As many of you know, I hate winter and I hate snow even more, but this is rediculous and no its not April Fool's, that's tomorrow!

Here are some of the bracelets I have made




Since Ethan started Kindergarten I found myself kind of lost, so with Ali's instructions I learned how to make bracelets and now I have made over 200, mostly I give them away, although everyone keeps telling me I should sell them. I'm not convinced they are that good, but I LOVE making them and giving them away. The one on top is the one I made for McCall for Easter. I thought I'd like to try making the individual charms. It took a while to make, but it was a lot of fun.

My new projects


These are my new hairbow things.

Second Grade Grandparents program




This year was McCall and Sadie's grandparents program and the parents got to have a sneak preview. McCall was so nervous about saying her part, which she has known since the day they gave it to her. I could see her lips moving practicing her part over and over during the program, her part wasn't until about 3/4 of the way through. After she said her part she relaxed and enjoyed the rest of the program. Sadie on the other hand pretty much doesn't stress over anything and socialized more than participated!

This is our last day of Spring Break! Tonight we are taking the kids to "Horton hears a Who". Kind of make up for no Easter Baskets! A few of the kids came over for Easter dinner, had a "low key" egg hunt. It was fun watching how excited the little ones were finding every egg. Most of them were on the ground, I stepped on one, they were everywhere. At first, Makenna, Cole and Brinley started out, they were kind of overwhelmed by where to start, but they got the hang of it rather quickly and immediately started filling their baskets. Then the other kids came out and cleaned house even quicker! This was Trent's first year to not find eggs, kind of a bitter sweet moment for him.

Cole in time out! I thought this was so cute, even if he was in trouble!

Spring Break

I needed to update my blog, but can't really think of anything going on with us!
Sadie's been sick, missed a couple of days of school this week and as soon as the other kids got home from school yesterday she claimed that "I feel better, now." I have been making her stay in the house and she has been so stubborn about not being sick anymore, sometimes. . . . . . . . Needless to say, she is still "coughing up a lung" and blowing her nose every thirty seconds, I'm just as stubborn, I say she is still SICK! Guess you can picture that senerio.
Spring break and no place to go! We are staying home, but I'm wishing I was in St. George. It's going to be in the 70's there this weekend!
Guess we'll make the best of it. I bought a Play Station 2 Rock Band, so we'll have that to learn and enjoy.
Miranda turned 5 on Tuesday, can't believe she'll be in kindergarten this year! Adam, Kaden and Makenna all have birthday's in April. I always look forward to the Spring birthdays, because we have so many between Oct and Dec, it's nice to only have a few in the Spring months. I also look forward to Spring itself, more than you all know!

This is how Ethan looks now with both of his top two teeth missing! If you think he looks funny, you ought to hear how he talks without them!

Jeremy with two of his three little girls! I imagine he would have held all three given the chance.

As you can tell, I'm very new to blogging. So bear with me you all!
Last week Jerry and I flew back in from Georgia, after visiting Britt and Kaden. Unfortunately Jared had to fly out and we just missed seeing him by about 30 minutes! We had to "farm" out all of our little ones to the older siblings and their families! They were well taken care of and we very much appreciated the opportunity to get away for a few days.
Ethan fell on Ali's fireplace and she had to take him in and get 5 stitches in his hand.
This week he fell and hit his front top two teeth and one of them had to come out. The other one is very loose and not far behind the other! We certainly have never a dull moment.

"Cole Boy" as papou refers to him. Wearing Christmas cookies!
