Simple things for Simple People maybe?

I can honestly say we can have fun no matter what! Sarah has discovered this mesh laundry bag can be a basic lagoon ride and has been bringing it to us to swing her in it. I know it looks weird but there are big belly laughs all around. I wish I could have captured her little face smashed up against the bag. That is the funniest of all! Like I keep saying....never a dull moment around our house! Thanks Lindsay for helping shake N bake the baby!

Is this not the cutest Little Easter Bunny You Have Ever Seen!?!

Kids do the darnedest things don't they? I am wondering if Sarah thought,"This would make a great seat?" or could it be "I would love to wear this" or maybe "if I can get into this someone will carry me around in it" I suppose I will never know what she was thinking but it is cute all the same.

Parachute Play Day

Friday Sept 12Th we got out our trusty parachute that Grandma Hill gave us many Christmases' ago to play with and we had a ball! No really, there was a big ball that we played with also. We had a super fun time and even kept Sarah from running away even though she gave it her best efforts. We were lucky enough to have Patchy with us too so that made it double fun!

Lindsays Hello Day Assembly

On Sept 11Th Lindsay had her first Assembly for Dance Company. She also introduced herself as the Secretary for the group. She did a great job! The dance actually lasted 10 minutes and it was really good! Great Job Lindsay! They are now working on the holiday shows and getting ready to learn the dances for once upon a mattress.

Tickle Fight!

All I can say is this is just dang CUTE! I wish you could hear them laughing like they were! I have a smile right now just remembering it!

I am Babysitting Batman!

I have had the most exciting week thus far!

I am babysitting Batman!

I asked him if he would like to take off his mask and He said very dramatically,"NEVER!!"

So cute! On Monday (our first day together) he kept it on literally all day!
This little guy has been a joy and a perfect gentleman. I agreed to do it to help my good new friend Kim persue her dream (and true calling I might add) of becoming a nurse. How could I say no to that??? She took a job at the Huntsman Center as a CNA and they are going to fast track her to RN. She will specialize in oncology. I am very proud of her and love watching her passion for the medical field.

My Crazy Fun Kids!

I have the most fun kids! Here's the scoop...First my older 2 daughters Lexi and Lindsay say to me on Tuesday "OK mom we are ready for the volleyball clinic" so I look and first I see Lexi who has long argyle socks on and think hummmm...ok...whatever makes her happy and then here comes Lindsay who has not only long colorful socks on but 2 completely different socks! I told them they were weirdos but that seemed to be what they were going for because they just giggled and went to the stake function just like this. I am glad they are happy little weirdos who feel comfortable enough in their own skin to "express themselves"! :) (I know it isnt that bad actually)

Then we have Sarah and her baby. She will not do much of anything without this baby by her side right now. It is a doll that Gabby had first and has given it to Sarah and it makes the cutest baby sounds. We call her princess Alexa (it was on the box) but Mommy Sarah just screams and cries if she doesn't have her. p.s. you will notice that the top Sarah is wearing in the sock shots she dressed her baby with the next day...

And last but not least, this morning I here "Love you Bye bye mommy" and this is what I saw...from my most handsome boy! As he was laughing so hard it popped the rubber band off and snapped his face. Aw the price for humor can be stiff sometimes....

My kids are the bomb! Nothing has made me more happy or laugh more than these 5 characters that I am borrowing from my Heavenly Father. He must have known they were just what I would need. I so hate to be bored!
