Maddi's Last Day of School

Maddi has been begging me all year to move her to all day Kindergarten. I will have a hard enough time sending her to first grade. Can't they just stay my babies forever???

I finally got to help in Maddi's classroom!

Katie Graduates Pre-School

There aren't many words to describe how much we love Miss Kerry! Miss Kerry is just one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She is a constant support to us and our children. We will miss her, but only until Gunner is ready!

I now have an official Kindergartner...

Funny Katie: There was a little boy in Katie's class that she did not like. She said he was always mean to the other kids and didn't obey Miss Kerry. Almost every day at least one prayer has Gavin in it. Tonight she said, "And please bless everyone in the whole wide world, even Gavin because he is just SO MEAN, and so bless him not to be so mean". Katie loves everyone!

Maddi & Katie's Dancey Dance Show

Singing, "I've got a penny in my pocket" Inside the bags is a necklace for Mom and a piece of gum for Dad

We went early to watch cousin Kinzley in the younger class. So fun!!!

Boy I Have A Tricky Hose

Daddy likes to tease Gunner with the hose. He thinks it's funny.

Full of it!

So I had to go to the store today...(this is a funny story) and the lady at the cash register says, "You aren't going to have that baby right here are you?" I smiled and said, "Oh No, I still have a month to go." To which she replies, "Do you have more than one in there?" My immediate thought was, "Boy isn't she just full of compliments today. I wonder if she even knows how rude she is being?" But feeling confident in myself I ignore the rudeness and answer, "Nope just one" Then she goes on to tell me how huge her daughter got with her last one and she had a 9lb baby, so I will probablly have a 9lb baby too. I started to explain how I didn't have time to loose the weight from the last one before I had this one, but then decided I didn't really care what she thought. I did however get in the car and started to think (I could do this since I had no children with me at the time) why do people choose this time to be so rude. I always get little comments like this. Do I have a sign that says, "kick me while I'm down" Seriously... So here I am being brave enough to post my hugeness, maybe I can get a few more fun comments!

Don't Want to Keep It

Adam walks into the kitchen and see's Maddi with her arm out of her sleeve. Adam says, Maddi is your sun burn hurting? Maddi replies, "Ya, I don't want to keep it if it's gonna hurt"

OH WOW

Maddi learned how to tie her shoe!!! I was so proud of her! A little bummed that after I worked with her for so long on it that it was Dad that actually got her to do it, but greatful that he is just that good of a Dad.

She is also now at 123 books. I never thought we would even get to 100, so I am so super proud of her. What an amazing little girl I have!!!

Easter

Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma Fishy's.

Umm... and no I don't have any cute family or even children pictures in their Easter Outfits. It's been one of those months. Gunner turning one has braught a whole new set of challenges. It seems impossible to get anything done anymore. 4 Children is most likely the max for us. Although my spanish friend says we have to have at least 6 because Adam and I make such handsome children. I have to agree with that!!!

• A Good day is when I didn't get puked, poo'd or peed on
• A Better Day is when I showered, got dressed in something other than sweat pants and put make up on
• A Good Day is when I get a shower.
  
• A Better Day is when I get to shower alone.
  
• A Good Day is when I slept more than 4 consistent hours.
  
• A Better Day is when I slept one minute more than that.
  
• A Good Day is when I got a load of dishes done.
  
• A Better Day is when I get a load of dishes, laundry and maybe pick up one room.
• A Good Day is when I don't burst out in tears and run screaming from the house that I can't do it anymore.
  
• A Better Day is when I don't.
  
• A Good Day is when I get 10minutes of me time.
  
• A Better Day is when I get an hour.
  
• A Good Day is when I didn't eat ice cream, cookies, donughts, or cake for breakfast
  
• A Better Day is when I ate healthy all day.
  
• A Good Day is when I get to count running errands and chores as excersize
  
• A Better Day is when I actually do excersize.
  
• A Good Day is when I get a massage, my hair done, a pedi, talked with friends, watched a movie, ate Ah So, didn't get upset with Adam
  
• A Better Day is when that's not a dream.

So here is to better days... and hopefully more fun posts.

Hiking with the BOYS

Recently there was a big hike to the Grand Canyon. Adam and his brother's were so excited to go. They had been planning it for almost a year. But some family things came up and Adam and Sean weren't able to go. So they took the boys and settled for the wind caves.

Maddi's Spring Sing

Katie clapping for all the great singing. She can't wait to be a Kindergartner

Where's Maddi?? Standing between the boy she loves, and the boy she hates.

Sorry about the woblly camera... it's the best I could do with a big fat tummy and a one year old on my lap.
