Got the mom thing somewhat right today!

Today was one of those days that makes you feel you are doing something right. 

We started off with having some home made chocolate flaxseed zucchini muffins  while snuggling on the couch together and watching some Lion King. Then we started our morning of fun. First a science experiment with milk, food colouring, dish soap, baking soda and vinegar. The kids loved it and loved watching the colors dance. Next I had some fruit loops from a health lesson I taught in relief society last week. So we made fruit trees and munched on some fruit loops. Then did some intense colouring. Next was free play while mom made lunch. After Wade's nap the sun came out and it was gorgeous outside so we spent the whole afternoon outside playing with water and having races. Then while I made supper the kiddos played so well in Macies bedroom together laughing and chasing each other then playing pretend nap time. Love days like today and I am pretty sure my kiddos do as well. 

The never ending boo boos of Wade :(

I know all kids fall and get hurt a lot, it just seems like Wade likes to go that extra mile and make sure there is a war wound, something to make him look tougher then he already is. Let's start with the Dog bite, then the split forehead, next was the Dinasour tale in his eye. Then moved onto his mouth and put his teeth threw his tongue, then today after tripping over his feet for the third time at the park his face hit the pavement before his hands. Not to mention the numerous amounts of little cuts, pinched hands, and a nasty fall down the stairs last week that miraculously had no bumps or broken limbs from.  Me and Mark sometimes wonder how this kid is still alive. Definitely always keeps mommy on edge. 

The war wounds from today at the park 

For memory sake!!!

This morning Macie came and woke me up in my bed and said "I am hungry can I have Cheerios please." In a joking manner I said sure go make it yourself. I got up to go pee and Macie ran downstairs got herself a bowl and put Cheerios in it, then got milk from the fridge and poured it in her bowl. Buy the time I got downstairs she was sitting on the counter devouring her bowl. I was so impressed she did it all by herself. Wade then woke up and while I was going to get him Macie did up a bowl for Wade. Now all I need is for her to figure out how to turn on cartoons and Saturday mornings can become sleeping in for me and Mark. Before we know it she will be making her own Mac and cheese. 

A Beautiful Day!!

A handsome Sunday boy

I think I might love getting Wade dressed for Sunday more then Macie. It is a close call. Little boy clothes are just so studley I wanna die.  It also helps that this kid is so darn cute!

Another Great Easter

Another Easter has come and gone, and we decided to do another visit to my parents house. My parents are so good at making things so nice when we go visit, always a comfy bed, fun activities, and good food. This year my brother and his family came to visit with us. On the Friday my mom had tons of fun crafts planned for the day. We made Easter pictures, decorated cookies, and dyed Easter eggs. We also went for a nice walk to visit Great Grandma Prive, it was so nice outside after our visit we walked to the park and played for a bit and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Saturday we were hit with a snow storm so we were stuck in side all day. We did hit up the Ponoka swimming pool though for a couple hours and of course got ready for the Easter Bunny to come. Sunday was a great day got to listen to General Conference, watch the kiddos hunt for easter eggs and eat delicious food. I love how the holidays are getting better and better every year since having kids. So fun to watch there faces light up as they enjoy all the fun of Easter and the traditions.
