So if interested let me know and I can make them in what ever colors you would like and there is lots of different watch faces I can get.

Finally finished:)

So we have been making a few changes to the girls rooms. Addison is now out of the crib and in a big girl bed(what a sad day that was for me). When we moved here I never finished her room thinking that I would when this change was going to happen, I would just redo her room and get new bedding and paint then. Well as we were trying to decide what to do, Mckaela said "can Addison have my room and then you redo her room for me" we had bought all her stuff about a year ago and then painted the room in this house to match with it all and it was more little girly than she wanted now, so that's what we did and I think it was the right chose. She now has a grown up girl room and I think it turned out really cute but let me say it was no easy job!!! One thing after another went wrong:(

Exhibit A:
spilled paint on stairs. First thing you see when coming into the house. Don't you just love the color though:) Brendan was being so helpful by carrying the paint up to the room but didn't quite make it all the way. I think more got on him then the stairs. (note to self: never get paint from walmart again...they did not seal the lid, glad it didn't spill in the car) Now we get to replace carpet:)



Exhibit B:
Never buy the blue tape to tape off section for stripes...this is what you get! It bleed through the tape and when I was taking it off...the paint was coming off with it. On to plan B??? which by this point I was ready to let the kids do what ever they wanted to the walls. Free for all:)
But after much frustration and hours of work...we went from this:
to this:









And here is Addison's new room. Made a few changes to make it her's!




Weekend recap.

So having the kids out for "Winter" break not spring, we had to think of some fun things to do inside to keep us warm! So one day we took the kids and their cousins to an indoor pool. We had fun splashing around and pretending it was a nice and warm spring day. Just didn't look outside to see ALL the snow!!!





Can you see her blue lips? The water was a little chilly but still fun:)
And he is just done!! To much fun can wear them out:) That and he started running a fever and just was not feeling good.
Friday night we went with our friends and watch the Jabbawockeez perform at the Salt lake community college. They were the 1st place winners on America's best dance crew. They were seriously awesome. (youtube. them) We weren't suppose to have camera's but I took a few snap shots with my phone.




And on to Easter day.


So our kids are just not ones that like to sleep in, so add Christmas, Easter or any other holiday they are up soooo much earlier. So at 6am they ran into our room wanting to go and find all the eggs and presents the Easter bunny had left, us being the mean parents we are sent them to watch cartoon's for a little bit so we could try and sleep a little longer... 20 min. later they were back and couldn't wait one more min. So off they ran in every direction to find their surprises. Favorite thing was their zhu zhu pets...lets just say I have about killed myself several times tripping over those things but they still beat having a real pet, so kids have fun with them all you want:)






Work it girl!!!





Easter was just a really fun day, had all my family here for lunch and my parent did their own little egg hunt around the house and then we were off to Ryan's family for dinner and another egg hunt. We are stocked up with candy for the next year.


Most important...remembering our Savior. I reflected a lot yesturday about what the day really is about. And I felt so blessed. For one... We had all our family here, well with several missing(Matt-mission. Dave, Brad, Tess and the girls-California) but to have our family here, healthy and safe. That is a blessing!!
And to have the gospel...There is nothing more I could ever want then those two things. So I am very blessed to have both in my life.
