Painting

My mom has wanted a fresh coat of paint on her walls for years.  I finally recruited some help in the form of my brotehr and his wife Sharna.  We spent the weekend painting my parents house and had a great time.  I wish I had taken more pictures because it was quite a project.  I would like to tell my brother Brent thanks for risking his life on the ladder so that I didn't have to. 

Toy Story on Ice

You know one of the great things about having a brother that works for a radio station is we on occasion get some free stuff...like tickets to Disney on Ice.  We have been to a few different shows, but this one by far has been my favorite.  They did such a good job with Toy Story.  The kids absolutely loved it!  Bailey was happy and spent most of her time eating popcorn...whatever keeps her happy and quiet!  My mom was able to come and we invited a few of our good friends to come as well.  I may have enjoyed it more than the kids...but I don't like to admit that! 

Min's Graduation

Our little Mindi Lou graduated with her Masters of Esthetics from Elase Academy.  I was able to take my kids and meet my parents and Matt to celebrate.  We are so proud of her!

I need to get calm...

Carson is always making me laugh...Literally all day long.  As we were leaving Chill's parents one night he said, "hold on I need to get calm."  I of course and trying to push him out the door while he is trying to climb up on the counter.  I seconds later he is sitting indian style on the counter in front of the little essential oil lamp thingy.  He has his eyes closed, his arms out, and all I could here was hmmmmmmmmmmmm.  He told me that once he was calm then he would be ready to go home.  Where the kids comes up with this stuff I will never know.  I sure love him!

The Lorax

Carson was really loving the Lorax.  For the Read Across America Day they were reading the Lorax at Target so we of course headed over.  It was sure fun.  We just love Dr. Seuss books at our house so we were able to sit and enjoy quite a few.  Carsons love for the Lorax died out even before his "Lorax Birthday" and his obsession with Star Wars began...

Pedis

Okay I have honestly only had a few pedicures in my life.  I think to myself...Why the heck do I not do this more often when I actually do go, but is just hasn't really been my thing.  My sister Min is going to school at Elase Academy so I went with Claudia (chill's mom), Grandma Molly (chill's grandma), and Lynda (chill's aunt) to get pedicures at the school.  Sad news was, Min took the day off, but we went anyway.  I got to meet all her friends which was fun, but it was sad she wasn't there.  It was so fun to have a girls day out.  Once again I found myself saying...I have got to do this more often. If anyone needs a good cheap pedicure, head on over to Elase Academy in South Jordan and ask for my cute sister Mindi!

V-Day Fun

Carson thinks Valentines Day is great which makes me love it even more.  It is fun to make a big deal about it and his favorite thing about it is the heart tablecloth and the heart paper plates.  He is a funny kid.  We got up and going a little late which was not good because Carson had a party at school.  I totally thought it started at 9:30 but it started at 9:00.  OOPS!  So we put it in high gear.  We ate pink pancakes and I gave the kids their little gifts- chocolates, a balloon and a shirt to wear for the day.  It was brilliant to give Carson a shirt because he was so excited to put it on and he got ready faster than he every has before.  We hurry and jumped in the car and were off to the party...a few minutes late!  We made it and had a great time.  They had the cutest little activities and crafts which Carson was NOT interested in.  All he wanted to do was swat the balloons and hang out with his best buddy James.  He did think it was awesome that he gave everyone a Valentine and that he had a bag full from his class so I was glad at least that was exciting to him.  I really wanted to do something cute for his class, but Carson really wanted to get the Justice League ones with tatoos from the grocery story.  It was hard for me for a minute and then once again I had to stop and say...."This is about him...NOT YOU!"  This happens often to me!  Ha ha.  We hooked a cute little thing of bubbles on the Valentine and he was SO excited.  It made it all worth it to see him so happy.  Anyway party went well and we came home and Carson has his friend James and his sister Naomi over for a few hours.  They have so much fun together and it is great having them over.

I was planning on making a nice dinner but wasn't sure Chill was going to make it home so I decided it was Happy Meals for the kids and I would just eat something at home.  I know fun for me!  Well when I was in line at McDonalds, Chill called and said he was on his way home.  That was the earliest he'd been off in weeks.  It was nice for the kids to see him.  After the kids were in bed I decided I needed something good for dinner so I hopped in the car and got some Chinese takeout.  Chill and I enjoyed dinner togeth at about 9:30 p.m. but it was delicious so it was worth it.  All in all it was a good day!

Random Note....

Carson tied his first ever bow!!! 

He was tying his balloon to the chair and did it all by himself. 

I was so dang proud..ha ha!
