It's Official~ I've gone CRAZY!

I've fallen in love with this little kitty! And I really loath cats....well maybe not now. The kids have always wanted one and I have always put my foot down about it. I'm not fond of cats... I think they are gross. But then little Aqua came over one day and stole my heart. She is sooo cute. And the kids just love her too. John isn't so thrilled about it, in fact, he had to feel my forhead yesterday to make sure I was feeling alright when I agreed to keep and take care of this orphan kitty.

Olivia named her Aqua because of her pretty blue eyes! She has always wanted to name a kitty so we pretty much made her year.
So... I'm alittle crazy, but how can you turn away a face like that! :)

Chloe and Macie turn 2!

What can I say~ I'm thrilled that we made it through two years! I have really enjoyed this past year with them. I thought I would never say this, but I don't want them to get older. It's happening too fast for me! They are so fun right now; Chloe is quite the independent spirit, having to do everything for herself and a bit of a bully and then there is Macie, a free spirit, very loving, but very mischievous. I just love them sooo much. It's so wonderful waking up to their smiling faces everyday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY girls, I love you.

And a special note: To my hubby, thank you for being by my side through this adventure, you truly are the BEST!

Celebrating Jayben's 7th Birthday

I cannot believe my baby boy is seven. Wow, time sure is flying by. Today we had a little party for him and it was a lot of fun. We played fun games, but the hit of the party was the marshmallow shooters. John made them from PVC pipe and the kids had tons of fun! It was fun to see Jayben with all his friends from school~his interaction with them. I don't get a lot of opportunity to volunteer in his class at school because I'm home with the twins so I miss seeing him interact with them so I really enjoyed that.

Just a few fun facts about Jayben. He is such a sweet boy~ often times I find him with the twins reading to them or playing with them. You can just tell how much he loves them. His favorite color is green. His favorite food is pizza. His favorite thing to do is play with friends and ride his bike. Jayben is not a morning person and he can sleep just about anywhere. Jayben loves to dance; one time at his uncle's reception he stayed out on the dance floor the entire night. The boy can dance! Jayben is such a joy to have around and I feel so blessed to have him in our family. Happy Birthday bud.

Easter 2009

Chloe's hair cut!

Chloe was starting to sport a mullet so I had to do something about it. No, I don't know how to cut hair, but I thought I would give it a try. I gave her a little A-line/bobb cut...What do you think? It certainly is not a professional job, but it will do. She actually sat still for me~ I couldn't believe it!

Conference Weekend April 2009

We had a really fun weekend. I love conference weekend. We can just relax and enjoy hearing from the prophet and apostles. No waking up early getting myself and kids ready for church, just relaxing and staying in pajamas all day! I love it. We also fixed a big breakfast, you know the artery clogging kind, it was very tasty.

We also had a guest for the weekend. Olivia's best friend Alicia came for the weekend. It was so great to see Olivia with her again. Alicia and her family moved to Lehi about 3 months ago and Olivia has been pretty heart broken. Thank goodness Alicia is only 2 hours away, I don't know what we would do if she was further.

We played conference 'bingo', thanks to Kristin (my super cool neighbor). The kids listened for key words and had jelly beans for markers. As soon as they got four in a row, they got to eat their jelly beans. It was a lot of fun, minus the twins who were a little disruptive, trying to eat everyone's jelly beans! All in all it was a good day. We even went for a walk down the Logan River Trail! The sun was actually shining and all the snow was gone! :)
