Happy Easter

Today as you all know was Easter. Jayden walked into the living room and thought the Easter Bunny hadn't come, but I told him the baskets were hidden and he would have to look around, and he said "ooohhh." Funny guy. The kids were so excited to wake up and get their Easter baskets. I will post some of the pictures tonight. Jayden was so excited to do an Easter egg hunt. He couldn't wait until we were all dressed to go outside. The weather was pretty nice; it was 55F. It was nice in the sun at least. We were going to get an Easter Egg Hunt going, but Micah and I started basking on the tramp, and the kids joined us for a little bit. Then Jayden and Jacklyn started taking their Easter eggs and placing them in the yard, and then going and picking them up, so we didn't do an official Easter Egg Hunt but it was still fun to go outside. I had Easter eggs and candy to do an egg hunt I just got lazy and we never got around to doing it. Maybe I will do an Easter Egg hunt with the kids tomorrow. We'll see how nice the weather is and if we're all in the mood. I hope everyone had a Happy Easter today!

Jennifer's Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday. Micah and I were going to go out to lunch together because that's what we normally do for our birthdays. Then Micah realized he had the 10-7 shift, so he told me to just meet him at his work at 2:00 and we would go to Costa Vida (that place is good, everyone should try it). I told Micah that Jacklyn's bus comes home at 2:30, so he said just come at 3:00. Then I told him that I had to pick Jayden up from school at 3:15. At that point we just gave up; it was too crazy. Then when Micah woke up yesterday morning he was sick, and couldn't call in sick because he was the late guy. He would have to find someone to replace him. I ended up buying a pizza and pop and when Micah got home we had our dinner and just kicked back for the rest of the night. It was slow, but fun. I was going to post this yesterday but didn't have time, so I am wishing myself a Happy Birthday now. Thanks everyone for the gifts and wishes. Bye.

Parent Teacher Conference

Yesterday was Parent Teacher Conference, so we spent the day running around seeing all of the kid's teachers. When we went to see Jacklyn's teacher she recommended that Jacklyn go to a transitional kindergarten for next year. At the transitional kindergarten they would go at a slower pace and be able to help Jacklyn with her speech more. She also said that if we ever decided that she was ready for regular kindergarten we could just switch her over at any time. She also said that in order to be in regular kindergarten Jacklyn would have to be potty trained. I know. I need to do it. It's just that she's not in a hurry to be potty trained. I'm not in a hurry to potty train her. And so we be both just sit where we are, content with life. Jacklyn wants to get her ears pierced really bad. She sees all of the earrings and jewelry I have and wants some of her own, so I told Jacklyn that if she gets potty trained she can get her ears pierced. She seems pretty excited about that. Jayden has been doing really good at school. They are going to be celebrating Grandparents day next month, so that is something he is looking forward to. After we were done, we all went and played at the park at Jacklyn's school. We all had a lot of fun, and the weather was super nice-almost 70. Spring is definitely coming and we are all happy, in fact, I think we are going to set up the trampoline tonight. Bye.

The Dentist

I've been neglecting my blog again. I think I have decided that it's facebook. Every since Micah got me onto facebook I've been forgetting to put stuff on here. Then Michelle got everyone into Pet Society and it all went down hill from there.

Anyways, I took the kids to the dentist last week and everything went great. Addison had no cavities, Jacklyn had no cavities, then we got to Jayden. Jayden had four cavities, so he has to go back to the dentist next week and get them filled. I feel so bad because I think he doesn't have very good teeth so he is always at the dentist getting his teeth fixed. He is also so scared of the dentist too. He gets to miss school next Wednesday but I don't think he's very happy about why he has to miss school. Oh well. We've also started taking him to the orthodontist because he will need braces when he gets older. Poor guy. Anyways, I need to go and get some stuff done so everyone have a great day.

Addison's Birthday

I have been so busy I haven't been able to post much on here, so I'm going to somewhat catch up. A few weeks ago, our ward had their annual Blue and Gold Banquet, and since Jayden is going to be in scouts this year we were invited to go. Micah and I decided that we want our boys to be scouts because it will teach good values and build friendships. So we went down to that and it was a lot of fun, and we got to see a lot of our friends from the neighborhood.

Another fun and exciting thing we had going on this week was Addison's birthday and our wedding anniversary. We were going to go to Chuck E. Cheese this Friday and celebrate, but we had made plans for one of Micah's friends to come over and since we had canceled the week before too we just kept it. So we went to the park today and played and celebrated Addison's birthday. It wasn't very fancy or party-ish but we had fun. We also had our wedding anniversary this weekend. Micah's mom watched the kids and we went to The Olive Garden and came home and watched some movies and just enjoyed being with each other with kids. It was nice, very nice. Thanks Craig and AnaRae.

As I was looking on here today I noticed that in February I had only posted two threads, so I will do in March at keeping everyone updated. Have a great day and Happy Birthday little Addison.

Cat Nap

So this is what we've been doing all day today. Sleeping. Addison and I snuggled up together and took a cat nap with Shady because he's been sick today. Then Jacklyn came home from school and did the same thing. And then it started snowing like crazy. Today has been one of those days where I've just wanted to stay home, snuggle with Addison and read a book. Even though I actually haven't gotten around to reading anything, but it's a nice thought.

We have been painting the doors in our house that we upgraded four years ago, and have never gotten around to painting. It's horrible that it's taken that long. I told Micah I just want to keep painting until we get the whole house done, and just be finished with painting. It is so much to paint those doors. Two coats, times two sides, times 8 doors, plus closets. Yikes. Lots of work. I need to go and do something because I've just been sitting here holding Addison all day, but when I put him down, he gets mad, so then I'm back to doing nothing. Oh well, where's that book?

Watercolors

I have hit another writer's block on this blog, so sorry I haven't posted anything lately. I seem to have tons of stuff happen at once, then a dry spell. Addison and I have been water painting today, which he seems to love. He watches Jacklyn water paint, and Jacklyn will never let him use her paints, so while she is at school I am going to let him paint. I took some pictures of him painting, so I will have to post them on here later because I have to be on the other computer. This weekend we are probably going to make Valentine boxes for the kids for school. It should be lots of fun, and I will post the pictures when we are done making them.

Now, for those of you who don't know we are coming up to Idaho for Dad and Tyna's sealing in the temple. It's in the Twin Falls temple, right? If so, we will probably stay at Mom's house because it is closer to Twin. Micah was thinking of bringing our XBOX360 along with Rockband. We'll see how it goes. I was also going to add that Micah doesn't work that Friday so we will probably come up during the day, and doesn't work Monday because it's President's Day. We will see how long we stay. I don't think we are staying Monday though. All right, everybody have a great day.
