Fun Stuff!

I just wanted to share a couple of fun things. First of all I was introduced to www.pandora.com by my cousin Amy. It is a website that you can choose what kind of music you listen to and you can listen for free! You can list artists or the kind of music you like in general. If you like a song give it a "thumbs up" and if you don't care for a song give is a "thumbs down" and it won't play it again. It has been such a fun thing and I recommend it to everyone.

Also, if you are looking for a new and fun template to use for your blog go to www.onecuteblog.com and there are some fun things you can use to spice up the look of your blog. Just follow the instructions on the right of the web page. It took me a few times to figure it out but I finally did.

Sorry, I haven't figured out how to make the websites "links". I need a few blogging tips on how to add blogging buddies on my blog and how to add links to some different things I post. If you have any advice please send it my way. Thanks!

The new "do"!

13 inches....gone! Yep, Emma had 13 inches of hair cut off yesterday and she was thrilled! No tears, no complaints, no regrets! She is so excited to have short hair and is loving her new do. Her hair will be going to locks of love so that someone who needs hair can have a wig made out of Emma's hair. She was happy to be able to help someone she doesn't even know. I am proud of her. She wanted to take the cut hair to school today for show and tell but I didn't let her. The hair needs to not be "man-handled" and sent off soon. I told her to just show and tell the hair she has on her head and talk about what she did. She's a sweetheart!

Easter picture.

Here is a picture of the kids on Easter morning. It looks like the Easter Bunny visited our house. We had a wonderful day at church that day and then went to my parents house for Easter dinner and an Easter egg hunt. It was great hanging out with family and eating good food.

Farewell to the hair!

Emma's birthday is in June but I did want to say that we will be saying farewell to this beautiful head of hair! Emma has decided that she wants to have it cut and will be donating her hair to "Locks of Love". She is pretty excited to have short hair and mom is excited to not have to brush it anymore. Actually, her hair will be missed. It has been so pretty and now she can have another pretty style. Bye bye long hair, here comes a "new do"! We will post her new hair cut soon.

Slater's birthday

This boy is getting so big! Can't believe that he is 4! Why do my kids have to grow up so fast. I don't think I like it much. I wish they would stay small forever. Slater had a fun birthday. He wanted to get "Optimus Prime" for his birthday and loves the Transformers! It's fun to watch him pretend his is "Optimus Prime". He thinks he is such a tough kid!

Ellie's Birthday back in February

Ellie's #10 birthday was back in February and I am now just uploading the pictures. Can't believe that she is 10! She's is such a talented and sweet girl and I appreciate her so much. Ellie is a big help and loves to do the dishes with me. I love her!!

Funny boy

Yesterday Slater was such a picky eater and really didn't want to eat much. I had made these really good muffins and made him sit down and encouraged him to eat it. Mostly he just crumbled it up and shoved it out of his way. I said to him, "You need to eat your muffin!". Slater looked at me and said, "I don't want to eat a 'ruffin'!". I started to laugh so hard because those of you who don't know, my sister Megan's husband is named Ruffin. Yes, a very unique name and when Slater didn't want to eat 'ruffin' I died!! I called Megan up and she had a good laugh about it too. Truly, kids say the darndest things! When Slater gets older I will have to remind him that he didn't want to eat a 'ruffin'! Have a happy day everyone!

A neat week!

I just have to say that this is a cool week. Tomorrow is Slater's 4th birthday, Friday is our #11 anniversary and Sunday is Easter! I can't believe that my little guy is 4 tomorrow. He is such an amazing person and I am thankful to be his mom. He loves to snuggle and loves to hold my hand. I love you Slater!

Yes, my anniversary is on Friday and it really is amazing how time flies! I was in Utah this last weekend and took a minute to drive up to the Bountiful Temple where we were married and got to think about that special day. Probably one of the best days of my life, the other best days where when I had my babies. I LOVE MY HUSBAND!!! He is an incredible man and I am grateful to have him in my life. He is so good to me and he loves our kids! Dave, thank you for everything! You are wonderful!

Family Pictures

Here are a few family pictures that were taken back in October. They were taken at my parents house and my sister took the pictures. I think she did a great job and would you look at how cute my kids are? They for sure take after their dad!

Big news!

We would just like to report that our family will be growing by 2 feet this coming early September! Yep, we are excited to welcome baby #4 to our family. We have been trying for over 2 years and it's thrilling to know that we will have another little person in our family. We are very happy and can't wait to meet the baby. Hopefully mommy can feel well and that the pregnancy will go smoothe!
