Addicted to blogging

I can't believe how much I enjoy blogging, it is my new addiction.( I'm not sure if that is good or not) I feel bad sometimes because Rex will say to me if we aren't busy doing anything "are you going to get on your computer". Its just I love to read all of my friends blogs and look at all of the cute things you all post. I have loved learning more about everyone. I have also met some really fun new people because of blogging. I didn't have any idea that I would enjoy blogging this much when I started. (I wasn't really sure I was going to keep my blog when I started) Thanks so much to all of you for making blogging so fun!

Spring Break?

I feel really bad because this week was spring break and we didn't do anything fun for the girls. Although, Briley was in heaven because Tabrie was home to play with her everyday this week and she wasn't "bored". The weather stunk! It wasn't spring weather at all! It was cold and windy pretty much all week. The only sort of fun thing that we did was go to Artic Circle for lunch on Thursday. We went with Janeal and another one of my friends and her kids. The kids really enjoyed being able to get out of the house and play. I just don't love the food at any of the kid friendly restaurants so I have to talk myself into going to any of them. I am also so scared that my kids will get sick from playing on the toys at places like that so I don't like going to them very often. I am hoping that the weather will get warm soon so that we can start taking the kids to the park for picnics and to play outside on the toys . We got them a swing set for Easter so it would be nice if the weather would warm up so that the ground will dry enough that we could put it up for them to play on. I have spring fever so bad, I just hope spring like weather will show up soon.

Recipe Group

Janeal and I have been thinking that it would be really fun to have a recipe group with all of our blogging friends. I have talked to a couple of other people who are interested. Janeal has a post with more information on what we want to do on her blog. Click here to go to her blog and read the post. If you are interested be sure to leave a comment with the day that will work for you. We want to see how many people are interested. I think that this will be a fun way to have a girls night out and get to know all of our blogging friends a little better. :)

My Little Gamers

I have always wondered if my kids are the only kids who love playing games. My girls ask every single day if we can play a game. We of course don't have time to play games with them every time they ask. We do try to play games with them as often as we can though. They love all games, but their favorites are Princess Uno, Princess Monopoly, and Chutes and Ladders. They are actually quite good at them too. It is so fun to watch them get excited when they win or they do something that will put them in the lead. I love games too! It is so fun spending time with my little family playing games and having fun together. I love my girls so much, I am so glad that they are a part of my life. All of the things that they do throughout the day that are naughty are all worth the "I love you" at the end of the day. I am so grateful for my daughters and hubby they are the best!

Easter Fun

Every year my Mom puts on an Easter egg hunt for her grandkids, and my girls look forward to it each year. On Saturday we went up to my sister house for the egg hunt because she has so many good hiding places. This year my Mom had put play money in some of the eggs and candy in the others. She had a little "store" where they could spend their money They loved it and came home with quite a bit of stuff. I am so glad that my Mom enjoys doing things like that for my kids because they love it and really appreciate her for doing it.



Later on Saturday afternoon my friend Amberlee brought her kids over and we colored eggs. The kids just loved coloring eggs. They would have colored them for hours if we would have let them. They all had a blast and they actually didn't make a huge mess which is good for me! :)




Sunday morning we had to just let the kids take a peek at what the Easter bunny brought so we could get to church by 9:00 am. The girls love getting dressed up in their new clothes and going to church. I tried to get some good pictures of them before we left, but we were in such a hurry that I just had to go with what I could get. (I didn't love any of the ones I got) We came home and rested for a while. Then we went to Rex's parents house for Easter dinner and a little Easter egg hunt. The kids just love going over there to spend time with their cousins. We had a great Easter. I love Easter and I am so thankful for our Savior and his atonement. We are so blessed to have the Savior in our lives. I am so grateful for all of our wonderful family and friends.

Bunny Cupcakes

The girls went to Aunt Janeal's house today while I was at work and made these cute little bunny cupcakes! Janeal said that they had a blast making the cupcakes and they also made quite a mess, but they had fun, so I guess that is what counts. They were so proud of their "masterpieces" they couldn't wait to show them off when they got home. Janeal took some pictures of them and e-mailed them to me so that I could post them. We are so blessed to have family close so that the kids can do fun things with their cousins. We are going to color eggs and have a couple of Easter egg hunts this weekend. I can't wait to take pictures so that I can post them. I love that I am always thinking about taking pictures. I used to be so bad at remembering to take them, but now I am always looking for pictures to blog so this has been very good for me. ( now maybe I will have pictures to show my kids when they are older)

Birthday Party!

Tabrie had a birthday in February. My Mom and Sister made her an awesome cake. The kids that came to her party wanted to eat the cake soooo bad! It was made out of rolled fondant so it wouldn't have tasted good. I told my Mom that's a lot of work for something to just look at. It was so cute and Tabrie absolutely loved it. Grandma makes both of my girls a cake every year for their birthdays and always does a great job. Every year near their birthday they can't wait to see what kind of cake Grandma is going to make for them. It is so cute to see how proud they are of their birthday cakes at their birthday parties. They always tell their friends "my Grandma made it for me".

This is a cute picture of Briley and her cousin Carter from Tabrie's birthday party. I thought it was so cute! You'd never know from looking at this picture but the two of them don't always get along. Briley always thinks that Carter is being mean to her, she tattles on him all of the time. Carter is 100% boy (he doesn't realize how strong he is) and Briley is kind of a wimpy girl.
