Sweet Cheeks Eli Belly!

Yep, 8 year old boys and the fire station = makes for a good time.

I got to go and help Sister Whitmore with the scouts on a field trip. It was awesome to watch these great boys, and made me so grateful for such a great 8 year old boy, who makes my life so much fun, and for the chance to spend time with him!

Because they just grow too fast.

It was a very Busy one, but a good one! Here’s what we did…

Celebrated Ikey’s Birthday at the Nickelcity,



Continued the tradition of Conference Omelets



Cuddled Lots and Lots with this sweet girl…


Had a nap or two..


Stayed in our PJ’s for ‘church’


Played with toys,

And stuffed our monsters and rockets full of treats, by listening for these special words…




And most importantly felt the spirit testifying of the truthfulness of our gospel, whilst listening to our prophets and apostles. (And thank heavens the Ensign prints the talks, because with 4 kids, the listening and focusing part was HARD this year for all of us! 🙂 )

The April Fools Tradition Continues! April Fools Dinner!

This is such a fun tradition, we’re not big tricksters at this house, except for one time a year…on April Fools Dinner.

I love watching my children and their faces, as they discover what they think is something, is not what they thought!



It takes a group effort to make this meal, and this year I made the ‘grilled cheese sandwiches’

Which was really toasted pound cake and orange frosting.
Jamie and Diana made:

Ice Cream Cone: Mashed Potatoes and Corn Dog
Juice: JELLO

Corn and Beans: Air heads, and starburst

It was a great night and fun time. 🙂
Happy April Fools!
