Fun filled day!

We hope everyone had a fabulous Easter! We had a fun day filled with kids waking up bright and early with excitement to see what their baskets had been filled with. Many egg hunts, lots of candy and most important being at church to remember and think about our Savior.

The matching trio!!!

For you moms out there trying to find matching clothes for your little ones, It's was impossible!
I went to sooooo many stores trying to find something that would all go together. Sure for the girls they had cute dresses that would match but then nothing for the boys. I can't tell you how excited I was to find Brendan's purple tie! I decided I will come up with my own fashion line that give's you option's to have your children match on these fun holidays.

Sweet!

So now that spring break has started we have been trying to think of thing's to keep the kids busy, so a friend set up a tour at the sweet candy factory. There were like 36 of us. We have been there before with Mckaela's preschool but you can never get enough candy!(Brendan was at preschool having an Easter party that he did not want to miss plus he will be going there with his school next month.)
So you have to wear these things on your head, even Addison had to and she was so good, didn't even take it off once.

My two girls look so cute in their little hats.
After the tour you can go to the little store and blow all your money on candy, it was awesome! (So the kids would say)
So now we are finally done with our house, after many hours of painting, cleaning, and getting everything in order, watch us move in the next month J/K. We just finished Addsion room. My mom did a lot to help me and so did my sister-in-law Val. I wish I new how to sew but I don't so I leave it up to the pros.
She has been sleeping in there for the past few night and is doing so good! It was so hard to put her in her own room, this is my baby!

A box to the rescue.

Addison has been pretty sick this week. It started Monday night with a really high fever, so yesterday I took her to kids care and she was tested for RSV. and then took her back today and she has an ear infection on top of that. She has been such a trooper but just miserable with a smile! Ryan has been working a lot and then took off to California to get a car, so tonight I just had that moment of being overwhelmed and tired. So I put the kids to bed (i thought) and got myself ready for bed. Well I hear talking in Brendan's room and this is what I see...


It was pretty funny to see his little head sticking out from this box. He was just playing and in his own little world. Yes I have those moments of frustration or that I just want to scream. I was going to walk in his room and get mad that he was not going to bed but instead sat down and played with the box. Thanks buddy for sharing your box with your mom for the night!

Weekend away.

Every other month I get together with my mom and sister and we scrapbook for the night. Last weekend we went up to our time share and scrap booked for the whole weekend. I am almost all caught up!(A day I thought would never happen!) It was so nice to get away for a couple days and just hang out and do nothing else. Since it was a girls weekend we took Mckaela and my niece. They had fun sledding in the back yard, going to dinner in a ice cave and of course eating all the junk food that we brought up! I really love to scrap and I never have the time to sit down and do it at home, so getting away every once in awhile has really been fun.

This was the coolest thing ever! It was really a ice cave!

Before and After....

Mckaela has finally got her new room! This has been a lot of work but she loves it! We were finishing our down stairs to have more storage and to put our office. So the room that was once an office is now Mckaela's new room. (So now Addison can have her own room too. I will show pics when I am done with her room.) This room use to be a really dark green, almost a forest green, so it took a lot of paint to cover those walls. Before....

After.....

Mckaela helped with the border but then I sent her away and my mom and I finished the room and surprised her with all of it. She only knew what the color on the walls were and the border. She loved it and then even wanted to sleep in her bed last night.

Day in the Jungle.

So I have been babysitting the past couple of days. Yesterday I had four other kids till around 10pm. and today I only have one little girl. For those of you that know me know that I hate to stay home, I have to get out of the house. Yesterday was a long day, so we decided to get out of the house today and go do something fun! So we went to Jungle Jim's. The kids have so much fun there, just to be able to run around, go on all the fun rides and not hear mom getting after them to clean up. (This was more for me then the kids.) My sister and nephew came too. We all had a fun afternoon!
