Growing up...again

This morning I get up and my son (who is 6 1/2 years old) comes up to me and tells me his tooth hurts.  He then shows me that the tooth next to the one he lost a month ago is loose.  He won't let me pull it  But the tooth he lost is already growing back in.  I didn't think I would get this emotional for my 1st child to loose his 1st two teeth.  Thank you Dillon for bring lots of smiles into our life!  We love you!

Happy Birthday Annette!

 Today is my 34th Birthday!  I had such a fun day today with the family!  Dan told me a few weeks ago that he was taking today off!

We started off going and getting the girl's hair cut!  They look so good!





Then we went to the park for lunch of Pizza!  It was so good and the kids love using our Picnic blankets that I bought last summer!



We then stopped by my sister Wendy's house and she gave me the gift from my family.  I so needed the new cloths they gave me.  I am so excited to wearing the new outfits!  Thank You!  




A few weeks ago we bought what they call Pass of All Passes to one of the local Fun Centers in the area.  They have everything from water parks (with water slides), bumper cars, miniature golf, bowling, and soon Laser tagging.  As well as tickets to local collages sporting events, and some of the Minor League sporting events, even race car events here in our area.  These passes are good for one year.  They are a great deal! Even if all we did was go to the water park twice, it would have paid for itself, but since the water park doesn't open until Memorial Day  we decided to take the kids and go bowling for the first time as a family.  Dan and I enjoy bowling, but we have never taken the kids!  We had a lot of fun and look forward to going again really soon!



When we came home we we had left over pizza and spaghetti for dinner, and then Dan made me a rice crispy treat cake.  He did a great job, and the kids wanted to put the candles on!  (the cake is in the shape of a horse).



I truly did have a great day, and I could not have asked for a better day!  Thanks Dan and Kids and My family for making it so great!

Mother's Day at Church 2012

 I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and each Mother's Day you can usually plan on two things.  1.  The children sing some songs during the Sacrament Meeting 2.  A little gift to all the women in the congregation.  Usually the gift is a flower, or candy.  Last year I got candles with a nice poem, the year before a church DVD.  This year I got these:
A little Pearl Necklaces and a little Forget Me Not flower Grow Kit

And the Kids went up and sang Mother I love you, and  Mother Tell Me the Story.  They did such a great job!

Then the kids went to Nursery and Primary and made me these:

Hand shape flowers from Ruth and Irene
A wheel of how they love me from Dillon and Jennilyn

The wheels from Dillon and Jennilyn had answers to questions.  They were so cute.  Here they are:

They Say Happy Mother's Day!  I Love You!
And then you turn it to read what it says:
Dillon's Wheel:
My Mother is 10 years old and has black hair.
Her favorite Popsicle is... Blue
She Spends Lots of time ... Cooking
Her Favorite Color is .... Blue
She shows me love by...Hugs me

If my mother were a superhero she'd be...Spiderman
Her favorite sport is...baseball

My mother is afraid of ... Ghosts
Her favorite cake is... the cake she makes for me


Jennilyn's Wheel:
My Mother is 30 years old and has black hair.
Her favorite Popsicle is... Grape
She Spends Lots of time ... taking care of me
Her Favorite Color is .... Purple
She shows me love by...giving me hugs and kisses

If my mother were a superhero she'd be...Wonder Woman
Her favorite sport is...I don't know

I loved getting these little gifts from my kids!  It was amazing well Jennilyn knows her mom at only 4 years old.  

Until Next year!

Mother's Day

Tomorrow is Mother's Day.  And I am proud to say that I am a mom of 4 great kids!  This morning after my husband left for work, the kids and I just sat on the couch cuddling and they were telling me all about their dreams last night.  Now that I have a child in school, it is fun to see what he brings home as each holiday approaches.  Yesterday he brought home a little card with his picture on it and this questioner that they had him answer the questions to.  It is funny the way kids see things, and I loved the answers.


Side note:  My kids do not get medicine everyday, but when I tell them they need to take it, they usually take it with out fighting me!


I hope every Mom has a great Mother's Day!
