PHOTO DUMP!!!

Another good quote

Me and the kids were at the park and I was pushing the kids on the tire swing. 

Macie "Wade I like you, cause your my brother." 

Then she gives him a big huge and Wade had the biggest smile on his face. Definitely had mom tearing up. 

Fire fighters rock!!!

Today I was on a walk with the kids to get a Birthday present for a friend, when on the way back in the Walmart parking lot the rescue squads were doing a mock accident and rescue. We sat and watched them do it and then afterwards the fireman treated my kids and let them sit in the fire truck. They put them in the front drivers seat too and put there fire hats on them and let them honk the horn. It was so adorable the kids were in heaven. They couldn't stop smiling. When we left they gave all the Fireman high fives. It was so adorable. It didn't just make my kids day but also moms. 

Morning greeting

I don't do this enough with my kids but wanted to write this for memory sake. 

This morning Macie come up into my bed with the biggest smile on her face and bouncing with so much joy. 

"Mom, guess what, the Sun came out today." 

she then proceeded to sing the song from Annie (one of mine and Macies favourite shows to watch together) The sun will come out tomorrow, tomorrow, when I'm stuck with a day that's grey and lonely I just stick my chin and grin and say. Tomorrow, Tomorrow Love ya tomorrow your only a day away.  (this is Macie's version that she can remember). 

I don't think I have ever been greeted in the morning in such an amazing way, it brought tears to my eyes. Seeing this innocent little girl with so much love and happiness. 

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.
