Holes on Shayla's body!

I know you have to tell your children not to put things up your nose but Shayla is a whole other story!!! Popcorn in the ear and this morning in the bath she starts screaming and I go running in thinking what could be wrong, she is to old to poop in the tub or is she? Oh no Shayla did better then that she but a marble up her butt (I hoped it was her butt!!!). I can not believe this child. I told her to sit on the toilet while I called the doctor. Well it came out. Yes, an embarrassing phone avoided! Now their is only one whole left that I hope I don't have to deal with!!!! I thought the ear was the last one but nope it seams MOM forgot about the others!! I was wondering how much a marble removal would be. The popcorn came to a total of $2044.00 and should have came out in gold!

Stake Interviews

How come EVERYTHING takes longer then planned????? I left the house at 6:45 thinking I would be the first one in and out of my interview. I talked Matt into being Late to scouts because I really did not want to dress my children up and chase them (Shayla) through the church. Well ALL the doors were locked. I went back and sat in the car and then the mini vans showed up and they stood at the doors and you no what happened? Someone opened the doors this put me like the 6th in line....I can never win :)

I also left the house in a really negative mood, never do this when you are going to talk to someone with authority! This leads me to my next thing... I really hate the question, How are you doing? I think this is a trick question! If you answer "fine" they just keep looking at you. I think the next time I am asked this question I am going to give a really long answer to see if that stare (the stare that means your lying, not telling the truth or there is something else) goes away. I want this power, I really do! I think this would get my husband to talk more. Maybe I can just do the stare and not have the power, do you think it would work the same or do you just think the answer "fine" just triggers the look and the long silence? I just need to make it through MAY! I think I can. I think I can.

Shayla's Hair

This is a before.....

Getting a hair cut
During the hair cut

Not sure of the hair cut!

and the end. Does my baby look older?

Wal-Mart

Hey!! Wal-mart will open on Wednesday.... No more Smith's and hopefully this parking lot will not be as full as the one in Lehi/American Fork.

I want this!!!

I was doing some online shopping the other day and found this....

I want it and thought it would be perfect to put on the deck (when it is built). I called the company and found out the there is only 2 in the whole western US and they happen to be in Murray. I was ready to go get it because they only had TWO!!! Well Matt said no. THANKS DAVE RAMSEY. I guess I better pay off our little popcorn kernel instead!

Water and dirt make WHAT?

I knew I was going to be busy with Shayla today. When she gets bored she get into trouble!!

I was adjusting sprinklers and fixing my "dig" system and this is what I found Shayla doing. She helped herself to the hose. I think I was robbed of a little girl :(

These were new shoes (she dressed herself)


This is just one of Carter acting like "A little person"

Happy Easter

The best part of Easter is Coloring eggs! If this is all Easter was my kids would be satisfied.

Notice the hands...Very careful not to get color on them.

Check out the use of these hands and the whole bottle of glitter.

The end result
The best part of all....CHOCOLATE!!!
The Easter bunny came really late to our house. Our dad would not go to bed I was worried that the bunny wasn't going to show up at all!! About 2:30 I told him he had to quit playing the Wii and turn out ALL the light or the bunny would not come! He figured out how to play on the Internet. Hey for us we love watching football and hearing it ALL hours of the night. If you see my husband asleep in church please wake him up!!

10TH Anniversary

Yesterday was our tenth Anniversary! I tired to post some pics but they would not load. I can not believe how much changes in 10 years. Our cars use to be spotless and we were never home, always gone camping and now....well our cars are a mess (thanks to kids) we hardly make it out camping and it seems like we are always home. I would not change it I love my kids ( some days it doesn't show) and I could not image how boring my life would be with out them. We are very boring people. Me and the kids went to a birthday party at Classic and got home about 10:00 and Matt was home by himself and had a bowl of cereal for dinner. Maybe we will do something on Saturday, movie and a early dinner? We still have to color eggs!

Happy Anniversary Matt, I love you!!

FHE

We went to fly Carter's airplane. The kids had fun. Shayla has done nothing but run and get into trouble all day! She killed a fish and almost a chicken. She put it into a zip lock bag and zipped it up. So much for tying to clean out their box when Shayla is around.

The end result. She put on her own PJ's. We were in the middle of reading scriptures and we hear this really loud snoring. Shayla feel asleep this doesn't happen very often. Just ask the babysitter! Shayla takes total control when she is here, so next time she is going to bed before she comes!
