Mother's Day Luau

Breggan's kindergarten class puts together such a fun celebration for mom's.  We all got to wear lei's.

His teacher trys to read a book called "Let Me Hold You Longer", by Karen Kingsbury

It's one of THOSE kind of books, that it took 2 teachers to make it through the book.

(I already own the book, and have read it with my two other kids that have had the same Kindergarten teacher, so I can usually make it through the book without tears!)  Oh and by the way, if you are a mom, you need the book!

We then eat snacks...No pictures of food!

The kids sing cute songs.

Then they finish the Luau with giving us moms a cute gift they have made.

I love watching Breggan in class, and how proud he was of all his hard work!

What a week....

If your week ends up looking like this, you know it's been a bad week!




Two kids sharing the same hospital bed, never a good sign. Hopefully by morning we will have turned a corner with this nasty virus that has made both these kids dehydrated!

And P.S
Incase you are wondering.....no you don't get a discount if your kids share a bed!

March Re-Cap........

During March we.........

Had green hair........

Had crazy hair........

 Worked on Pinewood Derby cars....

 Had championship swim meets

 and had choir concerts!

 just to name a few of the things that kept us busy during the month.

Rylee turns 2!!!!!

Rylee was lucky enough to have her birthday party while grandma and grandpa Prince were here for Aubree's baptism. 
I found a cake on Pinterest that I wanted, and passed it on to the cake maker!  It was darling, and showed what Rylee is all about.....tu-tu's and princesses!!

Rylee loved opening presents, and was so gracious to tell everyone thank you for everything she opened. 

Rylee is such a fun girl.  She loves the color pink, and prefers not to have anything that's not colored pink.  She loves playing with Sydnee, and most of the time they get along great.  Rylee can be very loud, but we've decided that she knew if she was going to be #6, she has to make herself heard!  She is still the best sleeper!  I love her early bedtime, and the great naps she takes!  She loves to color, dance, sing, take showers, and do anything the big kids are doing!  She loves our dog, the two of them seem to have quite the special relationship.  Rio seems to know that Ry is the one that will sneak her food, every chance she gets!

Rylee loves her binkie (me-me as she and Sydnee call them) and her blankie, and she may or may not still have a bottle!!  We love this girl like crazy....but I can't believe she is already 2!!!

Dallin turns 10........

This year Dallin wanted a party at home with friends. So we invited a few friends over, for a movie, pizza, and cake.

   

I think Dallin's favorite gift was the trunk that Bill made for him, to keep all his "stuff" in that little siblings can't get!

Bill left it unpainted, so Dallin could decorate it anyway he wanted.  It's now covered in Native American symbols! 

Dallin is such a sweet boy. He loves to learn.  Breggan asked him the other day "what's it like to die?" Dallin told him, "how should I know", and Breggan's response to that was " your the smartest kid in the whole school, you know everything!"

Dallin loves to make things, and take them apart.  I've had to have the discussion a few times about not taking everything apart, because we have had a few "accidents" where items weren't able to go back together!

We are so blessed to have our Dallin!  We love him like CRAZY!!

Madellyn's Surprise party!

This year for Madellyn's birthday, Bill and I decided to throw her a surprise party.  She has actually asked every year for about 5 years now if we were going to give her a surprise party.  So it was quite easy to tell her not this year...and have her believe us! Thanks to our amazing friend Krista and Kate, we were able to pull the whole surprise off.  Krista and Kate picked Madellyn up to take her to dinner and the mall to celebrate her birthday.  Then Krista thought maybe they should see how busy the skating rink was.    It was a lot trickier than I thought it would be to pull the whole surprise off, so to have Madellyn so surprised...made all the work totally worth it!!!

Not the best picture, but you can see the surprise in her face!

Another friend made these darling cupcakes.  Another one of those things I wasn't sure how I would pull off without Madellyn noticing! Thanks Amanda!!

I can't believe Madellyn is 12!  She is now in Young Womens' and loves it!

She is an amazing big sister, a great babysitter, an awesome swimmer, and a fantastic student!  We love her like crazy, and are so glad she had a good birthday!!!

Spots??

Itchy and scratchy and covered in spots........wonder what he's got!!
Poor Breggan!
