Basketball Season --2010

We just finished basketball. Taylor had a really great season and he had a ton of fun playing. It is so fun to watch your kidos improving their skills. I think that he has a little bit of basketball in his blood; if he is anything like his DADDY! This year was the last year of not keeping score. However, if you asked Taylor, he always knew what the score was. He received the reward for being the best defender on his team.

Enjoying the Warm Weather

A few Sundays ago, I let my three oldest kidos go out in the backyard to enjoy some of the sunshine and to let me have some quiet. Well when I heard the water on, I went outside to find this little guy covered in mud. SILLY GUY! They were a little disappointed when I made them come inside because we don't play in the mud on Sundays. They said, "well can we come back out tomorrow and play in the mud." I didn't like that idea either!

Why I Get Nothing Done!

Because of this little Cutie.....




For some reason, This week she is on a rampage. For those of you follow my blog, it may seem like she is always on a rampage. Well, she kind of is, however, this week she is in rare form and it is only Wednesday. Monday started as a normal day, thought I would get some exercise in. Great day! Then the tornado hit. We were having the missionaries over for dinner and our home teachers. I was hurring to get things done before I had to pick up my kidos from school. I had a pan of rolls rising. I came upstairs for a moment and when I went down stairs I found the whole pan of dough in a huge ball. She was so proud of herself. I told her the what she had done was wrong and started fixing the rolls so they could rise. She must of thought, :I'll show her." She came upstairs and in a matter of two minutes found my lipstick and smeared it all over her face and hands and all over my closet mirrors. I hurried and cleaned her up. We got the kidos from school and then she decided to scribble all over the dinning room table with marker. Not to big of a mess. I looked up from scrubing the table to find her on top of the table literally swinging from the chandalere. Crazy kid. I can just see it being ripped from the 17 foot celing and crushing her. People must think that I don't discipline this little one. You may see why I am a fan of locking her in her room with a movie while I try to get something accomplished.

Well, Today... Well a picture says a thousand words.






Pink metalic paint that was up in my closet. Not sure how she managed to get it down but she did and had fun with it. Today, I am grateful that most of my house has woodfloors. As much as I complain about having woodfloors in my bedroom, this is a day to show me why. For my LITTLE MESS MAKER. I also am glad that I am at a point in my life that I can grab the camera!!!

31

I had my 31st birthday on Feb first. Tom and my kidos had a little birthday party for me. We had cake and played quick draw, a game that Bailey planned out. I love my family!

Little Snakies

It has been pretty rainy here lately. Adelyn has been crazy with the little dried worms on the sidewalks. The first time she found one, she let out a little scream of excitement and exclaimed that she found a snakey. She carried them around with her until I convinced her to put them in a little baggie.

My Dad's Birthday

The big 59! He says that he is done with birthdays.

All of his grandkids.

Make a wish...

We had a surprise birthday party for my dad. We were glad that we were able to trick him. We had a great time eating dinner and enjoying cake. He is a great grandpa. My

kidos just love him. We are so glad that he is our Dad and Papa. He just finished Radiation for cancer. The dortor thinks that his cancer is gone. We feel so blessed the the Lord heard many prayers.

Snow Trip 2010

We went to the snow in January. Our kids have been waiting for so long. We went when we were suppose to have a big storm. We raced the storm up to Tahoe and made it before it hit. We played until we were freezing and wet and them came home. One of the great things about California. We are in between the mountains and the beach.
The snow is so fun to visit!!

We are all excited to see snow!

Addy really liked the snow. She kept trying to lick it. She was licking the snow for so long I seriously thought that she had her tongue stuck. She didn't!

Trying to figure out what his next move will be.


Bailey and Addy sliding down the hill.

That was great!

The snow was nice and wet. Great for making a snowman.

It feels so good to be in a warm car.
