Locks of Love

Abby has been growing her hair out for sometime now and last Saturday was the day to get it cut. She donated her long hair to Locks of Love and is so happy with her short new do. I'm so proud of Abby and her decision to give to another.

Tricky Leprechaun

My kids get excited about every single holiday that exists and they love to celebrate them all! Well this year the sneaky leprechaun came to our house. I left to pick the kids up from school and when we came home we found this in the middle of our living room.Under all of that chaos the little leprechaun left a little treat for the kids.
Macy and Abby were determined to catch him that night so they created a little leprechaun trap along with a note. Too cute

Special Kids

I love my kids. They are so incredibly thoughtful. A few Saturdays ago Clint and I had a meeting to attend up at the church. We left Macy home to watch the kids.

Well, when we returned the house was cleaned and vacuumed but the kids were no where to be found. I turned to go into my room and found this on our bedroom door.



















The kids were inside hiding to surprise Clint and I. I loved it. I loved that our kids took the time to create something special for us. It really was a special homecoming and they were thrilled to see our reactions. I love you Macy, Abby, Blake and Tyler!

He's Three


Tyler turned the lovely age of three this week and the only thing he wanted to do was make a wish. All day he came up to me asking to make a wish. He's obsessed with blowing out candles. We kept his birthday very low key by going to McDonald's, getting happy meals, and playing in the play area.
We love you Tyler and love all the crazy, energetic, wildness that makes you, you. You make us smile and each day is an adventure with you in our family. Love you to pieces!

To Be A Student Again

Clint and I had the opportunity to go to BYU's last home game of the season and I loved every minute of it. We met up with some friends there and we really enjoyed ourselves. I commented several times during the game that I wanted to sit with the students. Just watching them go crazy and have fun made me want to be a college student all over again. I could do without all the schoolwork and tests but to have that kind of crazy fun again would be awesome. I'm already excited for next years basketball season. Loved it!

Valentines


This year for Valentine's Day we took all the kids with us to Chili's. It was a Monday night so we made it a family occasion! Dinner was great even though our order took forever. But the manager was good to us and gave us appetizers and desserts for free. We came home, opened presents and overall had a wonderful time celebrating "love day."

Pierced Ears

Macy and Abby both got the green light to get their ears pierced and they were more than excited! My friend's mom owns a piercing gun and was kind enough to come over to the house to get the job done. Macy didn't even flinch, while Abby was in constant tears. I really thought Abby wouldn't go through with it, but they both endured and they both look adorable with earrings.
