We went to the doc yesterday, which always takes sooo long, but is worth it. They started Tagg on some nose drops and new ear drops. We're gonna try them for a week, then switch to some different drops for long term. I feel hopeful it will all work. Today is major laundry day, like everything will be washed today and tomorrow. An overwhelming task, but is so nice when it's done. It also is my sister Marlene's birthday and mutual night for Telly. Good news is I don't have to cook dinner, bad news is I have bedtime.

Monday, Monday...

I'm recovering from a great weekend which means I'm gonna be working all day to try and recover the house. Seriously, I think a bomb went off in every room. Tagg has a doc appointment to see if they can figure out why he gets so many ear infections. Wish me luck!

She's too what??

We went down and celebrated April birthdays with my family today. Kaylee came with us, poor girl. That's a long 2 hour drive with screaming kids. Telly stopped at our house so he and the older 2 could get out and get in bed. Telly asked Griffin if Kaylee could just borrow his motorcycle to get home. He said "No, she's too fat." We bust out laughing. I think that's his way of saying too big. Griffin gave his first talk in Primary and Macee gave the scripture.

And "THE MOTHER OF THE YEAR" award goes to...

The kids and I met a friend at the park yesterday. This park is my most favorite park because it only has one entrance so I know that if I'm sitting at the entrance, my children cannot escape without me knowing. Well, some cute girl came walking INTO the park with TAGGERT and asked if any of us knew this kid. I explained he looked familiar and his mom was over by the swings and I would take him over there. She told me she found him on the other side of the building (which has busy roads on all sides) just walking around on the grass. She had been on a jog and saw him there with no supervision, so she waited for a few minutes then picked him up and brought him back to the park. Wow, that's a pretty good day for a mom when she loses a child and doesn't even know they're gone. I think I'm in 1st place running for "MOTHER OF THE YEAR"!!! Good thing some guardian angel was watching Tagg Man cause his mother certainly wasn't.

Well shoot, now I need to catch up again. Life runs at a very fast pace. Macee didn't have school today, but Griffin did so it was nice to have some time with her. I painted the inside of their window which officially is the end of painting their room. Pictures to come. I now need to switch all the clothes around to the right closets. I don't think Macee's clothes will fit in her new closet, especially if Griffin has anything to hang up. That's a real problem, so I'll have to think on what to do there. Good week, so far and a good day. I know there are angels watching over our family, I'll share the story on a different day.

Sum it all up

Tuesday: Girls Camp kick off. Cute skits by the stake camp leaders and the YCL's. Got all permission slips turned in.

Wednesday: Maxi skirt party. Lots of people came, sold 31 skirts, got a skirt for me and one for Macee, stayed up way too late, but was all worth it.

Thursday: Went on Griffin's preschool field trip with him to the farm. He was afraid of the goats, calfs and horses. Warmed up to the ducklings and chicks and actually held them. I'm afraid he's a little like his mom when it comes to animals.

Friday: Telly was golfing all day so the kids and I hung out,  made Skye's Mix-In Muffins, played a few games and I worked on my girls camp fundraiser.  I also enlisted Marlene's help in the cause.

On an extremely positive note, Macee and Griffin have done great sleeping in their beds downstairs. Macee slept 2 nights in Griff's bed with him and now she's just sleeping in her bed alone. I even had to wake her up for school the last 2 mornings!

Extra kids..

Milly & Mack came to play this evening while Mason & Lindy drove to SLC close one of Telly's loans. The kids had tons of fun and it plum wore everyone out cause now everyone is sleeping soundly in their beds (at least for a few hours).

Family Sunday

We went down to Thaxton's baby blessing today (Telly's brothers baby). It was a fun day and little Thaxton never even made a peep! That's an awesome 5th child for ya. He's a little cutie boy and we had a fun day with cousins.

Three New Beds

Three kids sleeping in three new beds. Macee & Griffin downstairs and Taggert finally sleeping in a real crib. Poor kid, he's almost 2 years old and never slept in a normal bed. I hope the night goes well!!

Sweet Macee J

This has been a big year for Macee J! Turning 6 is a big deal ya know? I think she had a great day with a jumping birthday party. We were suppose to be outside with a big bounce slide, but since it snowed the day before, the ground was pretty muddy and we had to move the festivities to the church. We had 16 little kids there, Macee doesn't like to leave anyone out (she's a lot like her dad). She loves her ballet class and is really enjoying school lately. She has the cutest freckles on her little nose and cheeks and I love them. She is such an emotional little thing, has a great memory and still comes in bed with us every night. She got a pair of red, sparkly high heels today shopping with Grandma Neice and Papa Paul. Wow, they are such a big hit with all the neighbor girls, and her, too. Love our little Macee J!!

Birthday week!!

Macee's birthday is this week, which means she's a busy girl. Party today, shopping & lunch with grandma & grandpa, birthday treats at school and lots of presents. She's a very excited, happy little girl. I'll post pictures later...

Big week ahead

Macee's birthday is this week, I'm starting a meal calendar and I'm determined to move the kids downstairs. Going to bed so I can tackle the week on full brain power.

Good Food & Good People...

Not necessarily in that order. Conference weekend is always so fun hanging with family all day. I didn't get any pictures of the day, but since tomorrow is gonna be a repeat of today, I'll snap some tomorrow.

The week flew by and spring break is over, but looking forward to a good weekend with family and General Conference.

Thursday, movie day...

Macee has been wanting to go to the "mobies" for months now. She asked if for her summer break (spring break) we could go to the "mobie" theater, so tonight was the night. We went to The Croods. Pretty cute show. Griffin & Tagg actually did pretty good through the whole thing, which is always a bonus. We played outside all day, got dirty in the sandbox (I have a love-hate relationship with the sandbox) rode bikes and played with friends. Another great Spring Break day. I'm a pretty lucky gal.

Spring Break Bike Ride

Lindy told me we were going on a bike ride today, she said we could ride to Arctic Circle and get a shake. She lied. We really rode to Hyrum Dam (well, I almost made it). We did, actually ride 14 miles (really, that's all? I think her computer is off cause according to my legs we rode like 50, at least). The point is she could have killed me, but she didn't and I think we had fun and I'm tired. She also said she would pull me in the bike trailer. She lied, again. She's a funny one that Lindy.

Macee's Doll

I found this picture of Macee the first night she got this doll from her Aunt Skye. Skye made them for all the little girls a few years ago. She slept with it the first night she got it, and she still sleeps with it. We find it in our bed every morning, which means in the middle of the night when she comes to our bed, she grabs remembers to grab her doll to come with her. Crazy girl and cute doll.

Zoo Day!!

Went to the Hogle Zoo and the kids loved it!! Macee was most excited to see the monkeys (her favorite animal), Taggert liked the seals and Griffin loved the tigers (it was growling like crazy and he loved it). We stopped at Nielsens on our way home, which you cannot beat as far as treats are concerned. Loryn & Makelle came home with us for a sleepover. I'd say a pretty good start to SPRING BREAK 2013!!
