Happy Easter

We had a fun Easter Holiday. Hooper City always does a really good Easter egg hunt the Saturday before Easter. They have 4 different age groups. This year Wesley and Jaycee were in different groups so we had to split up. I went with Jaycee and Mike was with Wesley.

 Jaycee was not a big fan of Mrs. Easter Bunny. I made her take a picture with her anyway.

Later that day was the Bailey party.  We had potluck and an Easter egg hunt.

 All the Bailey cousins (18 and counting) and Grandma Carmae.

 Wesley, Brody and Kayla. Or should I say TROUBLE.

 Jaycee, Devyn and Mae. More trouble.

 Easter morning the kids slept in. It's funny the one or two days a year they should wake up early they sleep in.  Every other day the wake up earlier.  Crazy kids.  

The Easter Bunny hides the kids baskets so they have to go around the house searching for them.  This year Wesley's was under the kitchen table and Jaycee's was in the dryer.

Wesley was so happy when he found his basket be actually smiled a real smile for the camera.

 Jaycee is always ready for the camera.

 Earlier that week me and Jaycee got matching Easter toenails.

 Easter morning before church.

Later in the day we had a party at the Borgstrom's.  I forgot my camera.  We had a yummy ham dinner, another hunt and face painting.

I am so grateful for my Savior and the atonement and for his resurrection. I'm grateful we are able to celebrate his resurrection and ponder on all that he has done for us.

Happy late Easter everyone!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Well, 30 isn't that bad. This is me turning 30.

We had to take Wes into the Dr. on my birthday then we went and saw "The Lorax" which was pretty cute. Then we went to Zupa's for lunch. Mike made me a Butterfingers cake. He had planned to take me out to dinner and a movie but with the kids being sick we decided to stay home. The Sunday after my birthday my family had a little party for us.  My mom made meatloaf just because she knows I love it. We also had a really good salad and fresh fruit. Mmmm. And cheese cake. Delicious! I love getting together with my family.

After Jaycee threw up we all took our turn. Wesley was next then Mike then me. Jaycee and Mike were bad they were throwing up all night. When me and Wes had it we both only threw up once, still felt crappy all day. I count myself lucky. Now it's spring break and both the kids have a nasty cold. I tell you what, I am done with winter and sick kids!

Jaycee went to the dentist on March 21st. We had to have them knock her out. The last couple of times we tried to take her in she went ballistic! She ended up with 6 silver caps, 4 fillings and 1 root canal! I promise she brushes her teeth everyday and I brush them every night! Yikes. It made me sick to pay so much money for her little baby teeth that are just going to fall out in a couple of years.

Mike's church basketball team were the region champs. He missed the championship game to take me to "The Hunger Games". He is such a good husband.

On April 3 we took the kids to the Washington Terrace Playhouse for FHE to see "Joseph". We were a little worried to take Wesley with us, but he did so good. Sat still and actually liked it. Jaycee has been begging me to get "Joseph" from the library for weeks. So when I saw that it was at the playhouse, in its last week, we decided to go. It was a fun family outing. We will definitely be going to more plays in the future. We are already planning on go to the Toucan to see "Hairspray".  We went last year to Little Mermaid and she loved it.  Wesley was too young so he had to go to their daycare. Hopefully this year he can go with us.

We also all got our haircut that day. We cut quite a bit off of Jaycee's hair. It was over halfway down her back and now it's up to her shoulder.  She told me she wants to cut it as short as her daddy's so she would never have to comb it. I was a little sad to see her cut it.  I always threaten her that if she won't let me comb it I was going to have Jaime cut it. I never thought she would want to cut it. So I guess that back fired on me.  Mike is always telling me not to threaten if I'm not willing to follow through...lesson learned.  

It is really cute though and super easy to comb.

Conference was so good and being with Mike's side of the family is always fun. We are excited and ready for Easter.

We dyed some eggs today with some of the cousins. It's so fun to see the kids play together. Wesley and Kayla (Amber's little girl) are so funny. They are both a little crazy, when they get together they are a lot of crazy! Wesley thinks she is so funny, heck, I think she is funny and she is only two. Watching them together is fun.

Happy St. Patty's Day!

We haven't done that much this last month. The kids (mostly Wesley) have been sick all month. If it's not croup it's something else. He's been on antibiotics all month, along with a couple of steroid shots. No fun. The weather has been really nice and we've gone outside to play. Sometimes we just sit on the porch steps and eat crackers, at least we are outside.
Jaycee has decided she no longer wants to take dance.  I tried to get her into swimming lessons but they were full. So she's going to try soccer. She's pretty excited. She really wants to do tumbling but I told her she has to wait until summer. I think Wesley will miss dance more then Jaycee.  He love's to dance and I think he's pretty good at it.
We had a fun St. Patrick's Day, a leprechaun came and visited us thanks to Mike's mom.

I lock the house up tight so the little guy can't get inside. He left us some gold! We did some shopping while Mike helped his dad at his apartments. They put down a wood floor in the bedroom. Later that night we watched "Rio" with the kids.

One of their favorite things is to watch movies in our bed. Easy to do and yet we hardly ever do it. It was fun. I actually went and took a bath half way through the movie.
Yesterday after Jaycee had gone to church and her grandma's house and played with her cousins she came home and puked! I hope no one gets sick because of her. She was fine all day until about 7. We had a slumber party with the kids they got to sleep on my floor, because I didn't want to be running around all night and I wanted to keep the puke in one area. It worked out.
I turn 30 tomorrow. That should be fun...hopefully I'm not sick and throwing up.
Mike's parents and going to sell us some property in South Weber so it looks like we will be moving back home.:) I'm excited, I think Mike is too. It won't be for a few years, and that's only if things work out like we
hope.

Happy Valentines!

We had a pretty good Valentines day this year.  Let me start out by saying that Mike's mom is the queen of holidays. She did and still does fun things for almost all holidays. Mike has a lot of good memories.  So I thought I'd give it a try.  Last year for St. Patty's I did a green breakfast that was not a hit.  Jaycee hated it, and wouldn't touch it.  Anyway this year Mike mentioned his mom used to do a hole in one breakfast.  So I tried it. You cut a heart out of a piece of bread, toast it and put an egg in the middle.  The kid's wouldn't touch it. So me and Mike got two hole in ones.  They did like the heart I cut out and put jam on, so it wasn't a total loss.  Then Jaycee was off to school. This is what she looked like when she got home.  She's so cute.

For lunch I made heart pb&j sandwiches. I don't think they even realized I cut them in the shape of a heart. Jaycee had dance later in the day.  She had fun handing out valentines this year.  She even wrote her name on all of them by herself. (Over 30 valentines!) I told her months ago that if she would learn to write her name we could go to Chuck -E- Cheese, and we did.
Back to Valentines day.  After dance we came home and had a candle light heart pizza dinner.  Both the kids loved this meal. Jaycee has wanted to eat by candle light every night since.

After dinner we put a show on for the kids and me and Mike did a puzzle.  We used to do puzzles all the time.  I don't think we have done one since before Jaycee was born.  I have asked Mike a couple of time if he wanted to do one, but its hard with little helpers so we haven't.  The kids were so good they sat on the couch till it was bed time.  So we finished in one night.  We had to stay up until 10:30, but we did it. :)

I love my family and I am so grateful for them.  Hopefully they can remember that I did try to be a good mom...at least on holidays. :)

Happy Anniversary to Us!

Well, we made it 6 years! I am more in love with Mike now then I ever have been. He is so thoughtful and loving. He is an amazing Dad. He takes good care of his family, and we would be completely lost without him. I love you Mike, I think your the bee's knee's!
Mike gives the best gifts! This year for our anniversary he gave me my blog! In book form! It is amazing. I've been telling him I feel bad because I never scrapbook. He kept telling me "Just keep up on the blog." Which I didn't feel like it was the same thing, but now I do.  I've been trying to get Mike to write in his journal for awhile now.  He always says that I write and that's good enough.  I don't agree. Anyway throughout the book in bold he added what he thought and felt. I loved hearing his point of view on things. Especially his thoughts on when the kids were born and when his grandpa died. He took the book back to 2006 starting with our wedding. I didn't start blogging until May of 2008.  So the first year and a half was all him, and it is so good.  He also had to do the last little bit, because I fell behind.
That is why my blogging has become more informative.
So in conclusion Mike your the best and I love you!
