Future self

When I look back at my blog books, I get annoyed when I went weeks without blogging.
Like really annoyed- its like what on earth was I doing, that I was to busy to write a quick post to show my kids in 5 years???

Well- this month it has been a few things.


  • Getting ready for Moroni's Quest Big Fireside. There was a slight mix up- and instead of having 2 months to make costumes and a flag- I had 2 weeks. I sewed, thought and breathed the fireside.
  • I somehow managed to get 2 craft classes in 2 weeks. One I wasn't teaching, but another sewing class for the other.
  • Remy is in that fantastic, noonecantouchmebutmommy stage
  • a Pampered Chef Party
  • the weather has been starting to be nice some days- sooo Barker has been begging to be outside- so any possible moment I can spare, we are the park, playing.
  • working on banking/home warranty for the new house- granted this has mostly been Justin- but the stress has been equally shared.
  • AND all the extra curicular things we have managed to do- tumbling, riding, and dancing 


So as frustrated as I my future self is going to be- sorry self. Life from April 4- April 21, kicked me in the butt.






BUT Its over, and it was fun… kinda.

Easter Friday

Friday we concurred the "to do" list.
Taxes. 
Easter Eggs 
Cookies (Justin) 
Wedding Decor 
Laundry 



I love Justin and Barkers face in the picture above!



Remy couldn't care less about the eggs- but the paper!!



Barkers eggs were all the same color at the end.


Her face!!


This stage is so fun!!! After all the eggs were dyed we had egg salad sandwiches for lunch! Only 3/5 of us liked them…you could probably guess who's who.

Perfectly Imperfect

Our Perfectly Imperfect Easter Pictures.

I headed to church early to practice with the choir before sacrament.
I asked Justin to take a photo of the kids in their Easter Outfits.







Thank you Honey for trying. 

I love these photos- even though they are PERFECTLY IMPERFECT.

Cousins


Last week Eric and Tammy came to visit!
It was a crazy week with 6 extra people in the house- but the kids had a blast playing with their cousins!

Barker and Thomas are virtual twins from the back! Can you guess who is who?

Annaliesse and Mackenzie have so much fun together. Tammy and I couldn't believe how alike they are… strong willed and independent!

Jacob, Olivia and Kalia played at the park tons, and poor Olivia even chipped her front tooth! Ouch!
Thanks for the visit! Anytime you want to come play for a week, you are MORE then welcome!

Snapshots


This kid is fantastic


Remy's first time at the park.


Making Sven at Play group this month!


Grandpa cuddling the girls during the scary part of Aladdin!


Annaliesse teaching her little brother about the art of hiding.


Barker loves books. I sure rather him read them then eat them!


Annaliesse had a playdate last week with a little friend from school! They had a great time!

Bright side


3 weeks of sickness is too much.
On the bright side- Barker has stopped barfing.
And is now only on Advil and Tylenol for teething.
Remy does not sleep. But that just means I feel
justified in drinking more of favorite beverage. And
having a pony tail for a couple weeks.
Kalia has some rotten teeth that need major work.
But at least she will stop crying about her
tooth ache… er…. eventually after 4 massive
dental appointments.
I picked up Annaliesse from school today
with a earache. But she napped like a
champion.
