Jumpin' Jacks

Over the past few weeks, we have been going to Jumpin' Jacks in West Jordan. I had gotten a pass one time we went and it was good for a month, so we made use of it!!!! I really love going there. There was a few times that I went by myself and just sat and read a book while Hannah and Alexa played, and then a few more times, I had my sister, Stefanie and her little girl, Bailee come with us. The kids absolutely love going there and the best part is that they are totally beat by the end of the day. Actually for the most part, Alexa falls asleep on the way home. It really is a great place to get their energy out and to have fun!!

Happy St. Pattys Day!!

We had a fun filled St. Patricks Day today! First the kids woke up and saw that the Leprechauns made a mess of our family room.....






They left gold coins (filled with chocolate of course) behind in the girls shoes and on the couches next to their mess...



I am not sure how, but they turned the girls oatmeal and milk green this morning for breakfast and even turned the toilet water green!! CRAZY, Leprechauns!!!
We had such a fun day wearing green, and looking Irish!! Heck, we even painted our nails green! There was no way, we were getting pinched today!!!



HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY!!!

Aquarium

This past Friday, I went with my mom and sister, Stefanie, to the Aquarium in Sandy. I had never been before and neither had Hannah or Alexa, so it was a lot of fun to see all the fish and other "water animals." While I was looking at some of the fish, I couldn't help thinking, how weird some of them look. There really are some weird looking fish out there. Even sea horses, I mean, how did they come to be like that, it's just so weird.

It was a lot of fun and the kids had lots of fun looking at everything. My girls definitely know how to take pictures, as my mom called them, "they are hams." Cheesing it out and crossing their legs, tipping their heads! They are so funny and I love them.

Here are our pics from our fun day....

Not Much Happening...

So I know I haven't done anything for a while, but Not too many fun things have been going on. It's weird, because I feel so busy, yet it is not really fun important things that are keeping me busy, just everyday life!

So the other day, I thought it was so cute, I walk into the family room and the girls are just laying on their tummies, watching TV. I thought it was really cute how the younger sister was copying each of their older sister, to lay just like she was. I remember wanting to copy and be like my big sister Becca all the time, she HATED it...but it just goes to show that it wasn't just me....I think it's all little sisters liking to be like their big sisters....





Then over this past week, I've have medicine up to my ears to give my kids! Alexa had pink eye and an ear infection.. so I was giving her eye drops and an antibiotic and then Hannah got pink eye from Alexa, so I was giving her drops and then Hannah started coughing like crazy, and she gets croup really easy, so I took her to the DR. and the took a chest xray and said there was some broncital thing in her chest so they gave me an antibiotic for her and then an inhaler for her that she has to use 3 times a day for a week and then twice a day for another week. So with all the medicine, they are getting better and starting to get back to their healthy little bodies....



Other than that, I am just keeping busy with laundry, cleaning, school, dance, etc. Makenna is off track, and she goes back on Monday, so I am getting excited for that. Life as a mom can get crazy... but I love being a mom and doing it!

Valentines surprise!

I know a lot of people who think Valentines Day isn't an important holiday, and where as it may not be IMPORTANT, I love it. I love the feeling of love and the happiness I feel around this holiday.
So today, I was pleasantly surprised to come home from Makenna's school Valentine party to see a box delivered on my front porch. When I opened it up, there inside were 2 dozen beautiful roses from Matt. I was so happy and it totally made my day. Thank you Matt for my beautiful roses! I love them and I love you! Happy Valentines Day!!

Welcome to our Family Bodee!!

Well, he's here!! We finally have our dog Bodee. We picked him up today and are so happy to have him as a part of our family. I never thought I'd see the day when I was happy to have a dog, but I really am.
So far today, he has been really good. He LOVES the girls and they've been outside in the back, running around and playing. He is actually pretty mellow, which we need some of that around here. I don't know how tonight will be, I am sure that it won't be fun, but I am really excited to have him. He is so soft and cute and I really do love this dog.

ChEEr CamP!!

On Wednesday and Thursday, Makenna did a mini cheer camp for Riverton High School. On those two days, she went and learned a dance, and 2 cheers and then on Friday, yesterday, she performed at half time at the Riverton High BBall game.

For only two days of learning, she actually did the dance really good. I wish I could post it, but I don't know how to upload a video from my video camera. :(
Oh well. She really did good though, and she did really good with her cheers. She had a lot of fun with it and said she can't wait to do it again next year!!
