Thankful Monday...Again...

Totally loving this picture of my baby girl!

It was a beautiful day the other day so we spent it outside!
We won't talk about the fact that it is currently 30 and spitting snow on and off...
"YES!", the bubble was big!
What a crew!
My handsome devil....


I love these pictures of Allison, they are SO her!

Love that face!
Lucas has been loving Phoebe lately... he kisses her and loves her, here he is letting her take a call on his cell, what a great brother!
Kisses!

Allie's invitation...

She said I want to invite Munchie and Nona to my dance recital...
OK so she asks me how to spell Please, Come, to, my, recital....
How could anyone say No to this!?

The best part of the day...

In the morning when Phoebe wakes up, she stretches and stretches! It is the cutest thing ever~ I suck up every second of her beautiful smiles, and adorable little legs!
What a cute one~
I suck it all up because the rest of the day looks something like this.....

Thankful Monday

I know I have missed two Sundays in a row, it is Spring Breaks fault....
I am thankful for Spring Break! It was so fun to have Adam home and have not much to do and to not go anywhere! We did a lot of work in out basement and got it all cleaned up and painted. We got lots of appointments out of the way, and we went on a fun drive up to Lockport, over to Medina, and then Down to Batavia and home, it was a fun trip till right at the end when Phoebe had had enough of the kids yelling and screaming in fun, she is sensitive right now to loud noises. And at that point we all realized a Van would be Awesome! Put the 2 crazies in the back and Phoebe in the middle so she can have peace... Hopefully someday!
I am thankful for all the beautiful Sunshine we have been getting there is nothing better than SUN! I feel 100% better with Sunshine on my face!
Downer news is I bought a dress off line and that thing is Nothing like what I had expected, and it is awful...Adam says I would fit in with the Colorado City people in it! So that stinks! My dress Quest Continues!
We also found another house we loved, and we are pretty sure isn't going to work out... this one is owned by crazy people, (or they seem that way to us) They are supposed to get back with us hopefully soon, but they seem to be not the kind of people to pick up the phone and call...So we will see!
And Congratulations to the Marchents who had their baby, and to the Cleggs who are expecting a baby!
Well here is to a great week!

Thankful Sunday & a week in review

Can you believe all this week I haven't blogged! I can't, Geez, I think this was one of the hardest weeks ever! Luke has been overtired which means Over Drive!~ Which is no good..So Monday we went to Chuck E Cheeses and that was wonderful, they don't care what your kids do there! I love it! Cheap fun. Luke hasnt' been sleeping well since we took off his crib and made it a toddler bed so I put him in his room to take a nap and well he practiced his skills of Trashin the place for when he is a famous rock star or something like that! He is good huh?
Then he finally passed out so I went in to check on him and make sure he was Ok, and I couldn't find him....but I could hear him snoring... I checked all around then turned around to walk out and saw the laundry basket..... Yup Sleeping in the laundry basket... Then I honestly don't remember all the rest of the week but come Thursday night we had a Relief Society party and I was so mad when I walked in there was no place to sit and I asked if I could sit somewhere and they said no room at first so Mommy threw a tantrum and said FINE I'm going home then! Everyone jumped up and made room... I felt so stupid but boy had I lost it! So thanks ladies for still liking me after I throw public tantrums and then cry about it! "He is lucky he is cute or we would have to sell him on Ebay" -Adam

Saturday we went to look at some places and the place we were supposed to look at was PACKED with people and I was ticked off and said forget it! So we went on our way, and checked out a few other places around the area... then we went to go home. On the way home Adam says Hey that place is for rent....(it is on Sheridan Dr) So I said Flip around! So we did and well though it isn't much to look at on the outside we stoped and Adam said go snoop around the back... I jumped out and checked out the back of the house and saw it has a nice yard and then checked out in the windows and it looked pretty nice and big so we took the number and gave them a call...We came back a few hours later to check out the place, well it is Beautiful! It is HUGE and redone and lovely! There is a huge room in the basement that is finished and amazing! There is an awesome mud room, a fireplace 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a work room 2 car garage, hardwood floors everywhere, the only "downside" is that it doesn't have the stove or fridge....But the price is the same as the tiny dump we looked at a week ago! So we are going to hear back on mon. or tue... so keep your fingers crossed for us!
Tonight it was funny the kids got out the Yoga mats and started doing Yoga, it was so cute, Pictures will come tomorrow... I am to lazy to upload them now.So mostly this week I am thankful I made it! I am thankful that they had this silly thing at the Relief Society party were they had us all write something nice about each person and when I got mine and read it, I was surprised at some of the things that they wrote, They were totally sweet and made me feel like I am not totally failing at everything. So thanks ladies, you know who you are...You made my night and I am so reading that paper again when I feel lousy! So on to our next adventure... Adam has the NERB exam on Thrusday, and after that he is DONE tests FOREVER! And it is Spring break! YEAH! I am so excited to have fun family time! (packing and organizing the basement and painting, fun huh?) Good night!

This is so how I have felt lately! I love Sister Hinckley! She was a Wise woman!

Me and all my kids! Yikes!

My girls!
Everyone has a baby!
What a doll!

I have noticed with Lucas lately that he is having some issues... I think he is not a fan of not being the baby anymore... he needs More Momma, any ideas how to solve this issue? I try to love him more and spend more time with him but sometimes he just gets really mad... Poor boy! I love him so much! If I could only understand what he was saying!
