Earth Day

This was the pile that they had to use for the recycle race.

This was our Earth Day project with our Daisy Troop. We went to Black Gold park here in Glenpool and picked up trash. We also had the girls bring some recyclables so we could have a recycle race. They had a great time and learned how to take care of the earth.

McKensey got to take a trip to the NEW firestation with her Pre-School class. She had so much fun. We got to tour the new facility and man was it beautiful!!!!

Madison is 5 months old

This is Madison 4 days before she turned five months. She was so tired the morning that I took these. Believe it or not she weighs only 12 lbs. still. It's hard to imagine that she is 5 months when she is so small. She is such a little cutie though.

What a space!

McKensey and I were in the car the other day waiting on my mother in law and this is what she did. I knew she had a lollipop that she was eating, little did I know what she was doing when she finished! I heard her call, "mom" and this is what I saw. McKensey with the lollipop stick between her two front teeth! She likes to say she has lost a tooth because both her big sis and big brother have lost teeth but it's really just a space. What a big space!!! I just thought it was so cute that she would come up with such an idea. She's a hoot!!! We love her!!!!!!

Slacker

Okay so now we all know I'm a slacker!!! I have taken so many pics in the past few weeks and lots has happened with us but I've just been too lazy to post. Well, really I've just been worn out. Madison has had 3 ear infections in the past month and this last one was both ears. She has been pretty good through it all. Life didn't stop for those even though I wish it could have. I feel as if I'm a taxi driver with all of the running around we are starting to do (and I know people who do more!). So I will try and do better and catch up. I'm so excited that our ward is going to have a Blog 101 class. It's just going to be a friend at church that is going to share her blog knowledge. I can't wait!!!!! It's also an excuse to get out of the house!!! If your a mom then you can appreciate that. Well enough blab, on to the posting!!!!

Happy 9th Birthday, William

Thumbs up to the muffins. Mmm, mmm good! Awe come on Mom, not another kiss!
This is William showing off his birthday "badge" I made him when he was in Kindergarten. He still loves to wear it every year!

Monday, April 21st was William's 9th birthday!!! He was so excited when he woke up that morning. I was going to get donuts but he requested chocolate chip muffins instead. Of course I said yes, it was much easier for me. So we had muffins and sang Happy birthday. It was fun. We are having a party for him in May. He wants to have his first sleepover party. Of course it will be a Pokemon party!!!!

Finally a video!!! Just remember it was 7 in the morning! Happy viewing :)

Caught, again!

Nana feeding Madison but where's Madison?
Who knows what was going on in this picture! It is of McKensey, though. :)
She's getting better! This is our dog, Shadow.

Wow, even better. Nana holding Madison.
Oh well, back to our old tricks. Nana's elbow.
If you like close ups, McKensey's your girl!!!

McKensey has been caught playing with the camera again. Maybe with enough practice she could learn to take really nice photos but until then we will just laugh!

Opposites make the best of friends!

Little Lydia and Big Lidia
Best of Friends!

Imagine having a good friend with the same name!? Well Lidia has a friend named Lydia. They are so complete opposites. One is tall and the other short. One is blond and the other is dark haired. Even their names are spelled different. For being so different they really get along great. They are both in Kindergarten so it's pretty interesting when we have to call the school to say that Lidia is getting picked up by Lydia's mom or vice versa. We have nicknamed them big Lidia and little Lydia. It really is quite funny.

Carnival

This was the game I was in charge of.
Lidia's butterfly she had painted on her cheek. William got a shark but for some reason I didn't get a picture before it got washed off!

Our school had a carnival to raise money for the PTA. It was really fun. We actually went and had a pancake breakfast at the school in the morning and visited the health fair. Then we had a soccer game and a birthday party so we promised the kids we would come back. I actually volunteered at one of the games during the carnival. My game was really simple. For 1 ticket you got to pick an egg and open it. You keep whatever is inside!!! It was pretty fun to watch the kids choose and open their eggs.

Pokemon

William's latest obsession is Pokemon. ANYTHING Pokemon!!! It's crazy. This is him playing Pokemon on the gameboy while I was crafting. He and his friend Grant make a perfect team because Grant knows all of the Pokemon by facts and William knows them by pictures (and facts!). It's kinda fun when William starts testing me on my Pokemon skills. Every once in a while, I can surprise him with a correct answer.

Jumpin' Around

When Drew came over he and McKensey immediatly went to the trampoline. They had so much fun. Here's the proof!!!
