Easter

Easter was so much fun with the kids. They were all so excited about everything going on. These are pictures of their easter outfits (kind of, the Easter Bunny screwed up big time on the sizes this year), but they had a great time!

My Curse...

So I have a curse (atleast I figure it is a curse cause I can't figure out what else is wrong with me)! When I go shopping I ALWAYS get the crappy broken down shopping cart! It bothers me so bad that finally when I walk into a store I take time to scope out the carts to see which one looks the best and after I make my decision I start down the isle of the store and what do you know, it's crap! And on the rare occasions that I have a cart that functions properly the seat belt is broken so my poor child risks a skull fracture every 10 minutes while we are shopping. I really don't understand. When you go shopping with three children, one who can't stay sitting, the other sliding on her knees down the isle, and the other (no joke) on top of the shelves because she thought that they looked like fun to climb, all I need is a cart that takes an army of men to turn, or a broken wheel, or one that squeeks so loud your kids feel that it is competition to be louder than it, to draw more attention to our little circus! I honestly hate going grocery shopping for fact that I have to use a cart! On the positive side, atleast they are free to use because in Canada it costs $1.00 to use a cart and do you know how upset I would be to have to pay a buck to get a crappy cart and inflict grocery shopping pain?

Happy 6th Birthday Kaitlyn!

I feel so old! I have a 6 year old! Kaitlyn wanted a birthday party this year and so we let her invite some friends! She had a butterfly/bug party and it turned our really cute. She has also begged and begged for a pinata! They had so much fun with it. I the middle of the party Shaylee threw up (ofcourse it can not be uneventful, not that 10, 6 year olds weren't enough :) )! So I ran in the bathroom to clean her up and decided to throw in some rolls of toilet paper so they could wrap each other up like cocoons. They loved it and I now have a huge bag of T.P. to use! Kaitlyn had such a wonderful birthday, and was spoiled rotten! Thanks to all of our family and friends that came to celebrate with us! We love you Kaitlyn!

Shaylee's Finger :(

We were at the grocery store doing so major shopping and we had come out to the car. Shaylee opened her car door and pinched her finger between her door and the SUV next to us. It made a huge blood blister and it blew out the top of her finger and she started to bleed everywhere. At the same time I was taking Jake out of the shopping cart and he had wet through his clothes (I ofcourse did not have his diaper bag or spare clothes), and Kaitlyn is screaming at the top of her lungs "She is going to die, Mom, Shaylee is dying!" Oh, and there was a full grocery cart and none of the kids were hooked in! So yah, I took a deep breath, stuck Jake in the car, wrapped Shaylee's finger up with something, told Kaitlyn to calm down and get in the car, and found a way sweet girl to help me unload my groceries. We were then off to the hospital for stitches. Mind you that the whole way Kaitlyn is crying and screaming that Shaylee's going to die which really calmed Shaylee down. I tried to call Kirt so he could meet me because I wasn't excited to juggle my 3 children who where having their own personal disasters, on my own. So Kirt met me, took Jake home and changed him, and came back to help hold Shaylee down during her stitches. It was one dramatic day to say the least! Shay's finger is now much better, thank goodness, because I had gone through 2 boxes of bandaides in 1 week.

Kaitlyn's Award!

We are so proud of Kaitlyn. She made this picture of her climbing her favorite tree and turned it in for the reflections contest. The theme was "Wow"... and she titled her picture "Wow, look how high I can climb!" She was in the primary level, which is K-2nd grade, and won out of the the Northern Box Elder County District which included 7 schools! We are so excited for her! Good Job Kaitlyn!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Jake!

I can not believe that my little baby turned 1! (His birthday was Feb. 6th, I am a little behind)! He got this way cute car from Grandma and Grandpa Miller that him and Landon love riding in together! I think I way under-did his birthday but it was fun and our families are so wonderful to come and celebrate with us! Me sweet neighbor made him his birthday cake and she did a wonderful job on it, Thanks Libby! We are so greatful to have this little man in our family! We are so blessed!
