WHOO HOO!

I know I should be watching conference right now, but thanks to DVR I am recording it so I can watch it tonight when the kids go to bed and I can actually get something out of it!
Anyway, I've been so busy lately, I thought I'ld finally catch up on my blog:)




The other day John Henderson won some tickets to the renissance festival that he couldn't use, so he gave them to us and Nate had to let my crazy girls try the human bunjy jump!!! Here's Harlee down.....



and here's Harlee up!



Here is crazy Shelbi

They loved every minute of it!

There is a bunch of weird people there, kind of like Carnies but, thanks John, the girls sure had fun!

What Ever Works!

What a mess, but they loved every minute of eating there spagetti.


All done, and ready for more!



I know Trexton looks like the pig here but really, Dax just eats faster....alot faster!

Clean up time! Ahh, Just throw them in the pool and hose off their highchairs, no big deal!

Garden Progress!

Here's a few pictures from my garden, I swear if I sat there long enough I could actually see the leaves getting bigger! Every morning when I would go out to water it, I would be so surprized to see how much they had grown over night!



If you look real close, in the middle of this picture, you can see my first tomato!!!!


I know, I know I'm such a nerd! I can't believe how one little tomato can make me so happy but if you've never had a garden...I recomend it...I think it's even been teaching me a little patience.

Any way school this semester has been pretty hard, so I guess my garden has been my little release. Just getting outside every day and having something to do while I watch the kids play has been great.

And The Winner Is...

I decided I wanted to plant some roses, Nate usually does all this stuff but since I started gardening I thought I'ld give it a try....I planted 2 and they both look about like this.

After I planted mine....Mr. Competitive decided to plant 2 of his own, and this is what both of his look like....I think I win!!! (I never win so I had to post this)

Happy Birthday Nate

I Hope your day is as wonderful and perfect as you are!

A Few Funnies

Harlee has been making me laugh a lot these last couple of weeks so I thought I would write a few of her stories down so I don't forget them.

We took her to see "The Spiderwick Chronicles" and she has been scared of the goblins ever since. I had to give her a magic word to make the invisible goblins go away....and the first word I could think of was "Bippity Boo". So now everywhere she goes I'll hear her say "Bippity Boo". Nate will say, "Watch out for the Goblins, Harlee!" and she'll take off running yelling "Bippity Boo" or I'll hear her whisper down the hall as she goes into her room by herself..."Bippity Boo" It's so funny, if I knew she was going to use it so much, I might have put a little more thought into the word I chose. BIPPITY BOO!


She asked me if her hair grew or if I glued it on???

For the longest time, whenever she would ask me a question she would get right up in my face and say, "say yes, mom" or "say No" depending on what answer she wanted to hear. It was kinda funny, but after a while I was like, what's up with this kid??? Then the other day she asked me if she could get the mail and I said, "sure" and she said..."Does SURE mean yes or no, mom??" Come to find out she doesn't know what SURE, MAYBE, or I Don't Care Means so just say YES mom!

We let Shelbi in on what we got Harlee for her birthday (which is in a couple of weeks) and we made her swear not to tell her what it is. So we were driving to Mcdonalds to play and I heard them talking and ..
Shelbi says..."I know what they got you for your birthday, Harlee."
Harlee says... "I know too."
Shelbi's eyes got huge and she asked, "what did they get you?"
Harlee said, "A Nope"
Shelbi "A note?"
Harlee "No, a Nope"
Shelbi "What's a Nope?"
Harlee "I don't know"
I was cracking up because when she asked Nate what she was getting he said NOPE!

This is the funniest age!

Happy Easter

Rich brought over some Easter baskets for the kids and Harlee named her bunny...."Easter" (She's just so... creative) she said sometimes it's a girl and sometimes it's a boy:)

The girls had a lot of fun coloring the eggs, and this year we used a little glitter because when it comes to girls, everything is better when it is pink and sparkly!

Poor Harlee was a little sick and she told me "no more pictures mom!". I told Shelbi that we have to leave the eggs out so the Easter Bunny can hide them when he comes tonight.

So the next morning I caught her peeking out the backdoor at like 6:30! She was so excited she couldn't wait for Harlee to wake up.

The boys were just in it for the candy. Trexton is a chocolate lover just like Nate, he ate an entire chocolate egg in like one bite, and the next day he pulled Harlee's chocolate bunny out of her basket and started just muchin away. And by the way he is finally taking a few steps...Yay!

Harlee was so busy getting mad at Shelbi for every egg she found, that she didn't find too many herself....It was so funny...Shelbi would shout out, "I found one" and Harlee would go running over there yelling, "No....SHELBI......ahh". I kept telling her there's not going to be another one in the same spot Harlee, but as soon as Shelbi would say it again, Harlee would take off again. We finally had to shut Shelbi down so Harlee could find a few:)

Happy Easter!
