Gentle Foaming!

How do you know that your 4 year old has added a LITTLE soap to your dishwasher?





Not only did it fill the dishwasher and the sink with soap but it was pouring out of the front of the machine and onto the floor, like in a movie or something. I didn't get a picture though cause I was focused on finding towels.
My favorite part is when I asked her if she did it and she says "Sissy did it." So being the wise parent I followed up with "So what soap did you use?" and she points to this


I just shook my head and started to laugh as I read on the bottle "Gentle Foaming", yeah ok! :) She was pretty remorseful too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE!!!!

Today is Grace's Birthday she is 4!! She is such a bonus to our home! She is funny and creative! Her imagination is great and her toothless smile makes my heart melt! I love when she helps me drive i.e yelling at the cars and telling me when to stop and go. She can be very thoughtful and she loves her sissy i.e. Alexis and her baby brother "GRAMES" (that is what she calls him). I can't believe how fast the years have gone! I remember the day I had her as if it were yesterday, I knew she would be wild but how could I have known she would be this wild! She keeps us on our toes and I never get bored with her home! We love you Grace, thanks for picking us to be your family!!

Oh and Happy Birthday to my friend Emylee! Love you Girl!

Now this may seem a little like bragging but really I am just proud to be related to some very awesome people! They are talented and I am glad to call them family! So here's to you oh talented relatives!!!

This is my awesome cousin Hilary Weeks, she is the number one selling Female LDS artist!!



OK so I know he is dead and there are like a million people that are related to him and his son John Quincy Adams but it is still cool to be related to the 2nd and 6th Presidents of the United States! WAY TO GO GENES!!!

The Jury is Out!!

Now I am sure most of you have the comments from people about who your kids look like and if you are like me I just smile and say "you think so?" or just give a little laugh. I have become somewhat jaded by it all because most people want to remind me that my kids look nothing like me. Well I believed it too until my son was born and my husband was the first to notice that James looks more like me and my side of the family. While I don't need my kids to look like me, I have to say I was excited that my genes do in fact work :). Anyway after James was born people have still been saying that he looks nothing like me and so I figured maybe my husband was just being nice when he said that James looked like me, and then we pulled out the baby pictures! So let's see what you think, I posted pics of all three of my kids and baby pics of Jimmy and I. Go ahead tell me the truth I can handle it :)

Oh and just for those that don't know who is who, I am the one with Santa, jimmy is the one in the middle in the red. Grace is in the green with no hair, James is being held by Jimmy and my sweet Lexi is the one with all the dark hair.

 

James is 12 Weeks!

My how time flies! James is 12 weeks today and will be 3 months on the 24th of April! I can't believe how fast it has gone! He is such a good baby, he has such a gentle disposition. He smiles lots and we love having him in our family!

This is James at 4 days old!

 

James today at 12 weeks

 

Thankful Tuesday! Friends!

Well I have been thinking about who I should highlight for this blog and after looking through tons of pictures and thinking of lots of people that would be perfect I couldn't pick just one. I decided instead to focus on a group of women whom I have been friends with for many years! I met most of them in Junior High and High School and have been fortunate enough to still be in contact with many of them! I believe it was a true blessing to have had the group of friends that I did during those years as a teenager and heaven sent to still know these amazing people! We are spread out in many states now and we don't always get to see each other very often but when we do get together it is as if no time has passed at all! I love these women and I hope they know that they all hold a place in my heart!

Here are some of the names of people in the pictures below
Glenna, Melissa, Tanya, Mesa, Marissa, Ali, Sara, Nicky, Linda, Tiffany, Brittini, Kristin, Lisa, Nickel, Brook, Shelley, Cynthia, Rachel, Janell and I am sure I am forgetting some but they aren't any less important!
