Spring Spectacular

This is Addy with her cute gymnastics friends. It is fun to see how much they have learned this year. When they first started none of the kids knew how to follow directions or take tuns. Now all of the kids listen to instructions and wait their turn (most of the time). I was glad to see that there are other crazy 3 year olds out there.
Addy loves her trophy and she tells everyone that it is her special trophy.
Here we are, Addy's biggest fans.
Gymnastics has been really great for Addy. Her gross motor skills have really improved. When we started class she could not even jump and now she is a jumping machine. Her favorite trick to do is a forward roll. She still has a hard time with the bars because she is the only one in her class who can not reach them. She has loved gymnastics and her teacher was really good about making Addy do things by herself. We will be back in the fall!!!

I've Been Tagged

I have been tagged by my friend Michelle, so here it goes.

8 Things That I am Looking Forward To:
1. Lazy summer days chilling by the pool.
2. Hanging out at Sand Hollow this Summer and watching my kids play on the beach.
3. Hanging out with Jason's cousin's who are coming from Washington State to visit in June. I am excited to see their new baby.
4. Just like you Michelle I am looking forward to being done nursing. If I could just get Brody to take a bottle.
5. Finding out the winner of American Idol.
6.The weekend.
7. Ethan learning how to ride his bike.
8.Finding out how my book is going to end.


8 Things I Did Yesterday
1. Made the kids their usual breakfast. Eggo waffles and eggs for Addy. French toast sticks and eggs for Ethan.
2. Read Addy her two latest favorite books, Tails and A Color Of My Own.
3. Fed Brody several times.
4. Helped Ethan get his out fit ready for the end of the year program. Turns out he wants to be a police man because they ride motorcycles and get to be in charge of the sirens. I don't think he realizes the potential safety risk, but I don't want to burst his bubble.
5. Ate dinner at Joe Banditto's (I don't know if I spelled that right.) They have the best chips and salsa!!!
6. Went on a walk around the block and ran over a thorn, and the tire on my sweet stroller went flat.
7. Put the kids to bed.
8. Watched American Idol (Vote for Kris)


8 Things I wish I could do:
1. Sing really well.
2. Have more time to sleep.
3. Have a chef to cook dinner every night.
4. I wish I did not have to pick up a million toys, clothes, things, every night before I went to bed.
5. I wish I never had to be sick again.
6. I wish that my kids and husband would never have to be sick again.
7. I would also like to get my Master degree someday.
8. Keep my family safe.

8 Shows I Watch:
1. American Idol
2 24 (this is the best season ever)
3. The Hills (Jason tells me every time I watch this show that I am wasting my life away. He is probably right.)
4. Office (you have got to love Michael Scott)
5. Grey's Anatomy (Jason also thinks this is a waste of time, sorry I am hooked)
6.So you think you can dance (It will be starting soon)
7. I also have to admit I watched the Bachelor this season
8. Shows I am not watching because they were getting lamer by the second Lost and Heros.

Tribute to Brody

Brody had his six month pictures taken, they turned out so awesome as usual. Emily Utley is the best she always manages to get really great shots, even if my kids are being totally uncooperative. I thought that I would post a few shots on my blog because they are so cute. Oh and the new Brody updates, he is officially rolling from his back to his belly as of April 16th. When he is trying to get a toy he rolls back and forth until he can shimmy his way to reach it. He is full of smiles and loves to giggle. He seems to be getting more content the older he gets. He really is such a sweet heart just look at him!!!!

Dying Easter Eggs

Don't they look so adorable in their color coordinating Easter outfits. This is one for the memory books.
The kids had so much fun dying Easter Eggs. Here are Ethan and Addy with their finished products.


Yes even Brody got in on the fun.

Happy Easter

Making Easter bunnies with Grandma (yes that is a purple hostess snowball)
Yes the Easter bunny did bring super hero pj's
I am so glad that it stopped raining so that we could have an Easter Egg Hunt. I think Ethan got the most eggs.

Kindy 500

Ethan wanted his car to be a race car. He told me that it had to be 26 because that is an important Kindergarten number (26 letters, 26 sounds, 26 sight words.)
Check out the sweet rear view mirrors!!!!

Ethan's Kindergarten planned a day where they got to travel around the United States. They each made a car to drive from station to station. Ethan got to see a live falcon that flew around the gym. He also got to see a Bald Eagle. They had several stops along the way, such as Mt Rushmore and The White House. Ethan thought this was an awesome day.

February Fun

Brody eating rice cereal. He loves to make a mess and take the spoon from me.
Jason's aunt Nancy came for a quick visit from Oregon.
Addy and Brody hanging out.
Ethan's Birthday Pizza cake. He ate five pieces

Since February is over I thought I would post some pictures to recap the month.
