No Cavities!

I am mostly posting this just to have an opportunity to put this picture on my blog. This is a picture of the prize that Brode picked out at the dentist last week. Yes it is a fake MUSTACHE! Are you jealous Uncle Adam? Both Brode and Peyton went to the dentist and did great getting their teeth cleaned. Brode was a brave boy as his sealants were applied. No Cavities for Brode which makes me so happy to know that all the effort I make getting those teeth brushed is paying off. Peyton was also a brave girl and all was well except one tiny cavity which they filled.She was a total trooper. No tears and no complaints from anyone! This is the first cavity for either of my kiddos. Hopefully it will be the last for a while.

Whatever MOM!

Whatever Mom! I can go outside in my underwear! I don't need a shirt or pants!
Don't worry about me. I don't need your help and I certainly don't need shoes on my feet as I run through the weeds.
Don't try to tell me what to do. I am just gonna hang out here for a while.

Mothers day 2010

I had such a great mothers day. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband and the best, sweetest children I could imagine. On Friday, Brode brought home his homemade mothers day gift from school. It is a picture of him in a frame made out of puzzle pieces. He was excited to give it to me so I received in on Friday with a book about me!. The book was hilarious and a little concerning to say the least. It had all these pages that had questions about me and what I do well etc. It was mostly blank. It did say that my mom is as pretty as a ...dog. Brode says "well mom, I like dogs" Ya gotta love him! I also got a gorgeous bouquet of spring flowers ...

Some fun new jewelry. Peyton was so proud to give me these!
An awesome food processor. something i have been wanting for a long time. This is also partly my birthday present since Charlie bought me one for my birthday and I took it back thinking that it was too expensive and I would get myself a more affordable one. But he went back and got me this one cause he is awesome.
The little book that Brode made me at school.
And the cutest picture frame ever with a really cute boy inside.

I am so blessed and I love being a mother more than anything else I have ever done in my life. I sometimes feel that my family deserves the appreciation on Mothers day because without them I wouldn't have the best job, role, and life I could imagine.

Thankyou Charlie, Brode, Peyton and Teague. I Love you!

Living in Lehi

We recently moved to another rental house to stay in while we wait to be able to purchase a permanent residence. It is a great old house in Lehi with a huge yard and tons of neighbors with kids. We had to move because our landlord wanted to move back in to the place we were living in Draper but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise! The home in Draper didn't have a yard and there wasn't a kid to be found in the neighborhood. We felt cooped up there for the whole winter. Here we have kids everywhere, we have a lot more room for everyone and I have been able to get organized and get the boxes that we aren't unpacking into a storage unit so that we don't have boxes all over the house. We hope to find a permanent home soon but for now this is a great place for us to stay and enjoy life. Everyone is happy and healthy and life is good for us. Here are a few pictures of the kids having good times at the new house.

Three of the cutest kids I have ever seen in my life. We are so blessed!
