Happy Birthday Mom!

My wonderful mother had a birthday last Friday on the 20th. My mom has Fridays off so my sister and I decided to take advantage of it and take her out to lunch up at the Cheesecake Factory. My sister-in-law Jamie was able to come along also. It was a little hectic with the kids but it was still an enjoyable time. We will try to forget about Bailey's all out tantrum on the way home (Sorry about that Mom and Steph...lol). Can I just tell you how much I LOVE Cheesecake Factory. Man it is good!!! It was really fun to be able to take my mom there for the first time. We were all stuffed but we all got cheesecakes to go. I got the Adams Peanut Butter Chocolate Ripple Cheesecake, yummy!! It was a beautiful day and was a lot of fun to be with my sisters and mom. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!!!!!! Thanks for all you do, you are the best!!! Hope you had a wonderful day!!! Love ya!!!!

St. Patrick's Day

We started off our St. Patrick's day with GREEN four leaf clover pancakes and GREEN milk. Caleb thought it was so cool that they were all GREEN yet tasted the same :) Caleb had a conversation with papa the night before about St. Patrick's Day and papa mentioned that you needed to wear GREEN so you wouldn't get pinched. Well Caleb did not forget this, he usually stays in his jammies for quite a while but as soon as he woke up he told me that I needed to hurry and help him get into something GREEN so he wouldn't get pinched. We had to take Bailey for her 18 month check up after breakfast. She is doing well and was SO SO good for her shots! 21 lbs in the 6% and 31 1/2 inches long in the 47%. We spent the rest of the day playing. I did a little treasure hunt for the kids and we colored some St. Patrick's Day coloring pages. We then headed to my parents for the annual St. Patrick' s Dinner. I look forward to this every year. Yummy!! We have the traditional corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots, cornbread along with some Apple Beer and lets not forget the traditional Mint Ice Cream Pie. The corn beef tasted extra good this year. Too bad we only have it once a year. Thanks Mom and Dad for having us all over. Hope you all had a HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!!!

Fun at the Park

We have been LOVING this weather!!! Every chance we get, we got to the park to play. The kids have been in heaven. Last year Bailey enjoyed the park by sitting on a blanket and watching, this year she is having a ball on the slides and swings. And as the picture shows below, getting down and dirty. I can't wait for the rest of Spring and Summer with these two little ones! I can tell we will be having many fun adventures out in the sun.

Weekend in Saint George

Tommy and I were able to head down to Saint George last weekend for one of his softball tournaments. We left the kids with my parents. THANK YOU SO MUCH MOM AND DAD! Caleb couldn't wait to spend the weekend with them, he kept asking "Mommy, when are you and daddy leaving?" Nice to know we were gonna be missed:) The weather was not as nice as we would have hoped for but it wasn't snowing and it was still decent. We got there early afternoon and had to go to In N Out right away to get some dinner. It was really weird seeing and being in an In N Out in Utah, but I can get used to it. Yummy!!!! After we quick ran over to Tai Pan Trading before heading to the fields. Tommy played two games on Friday night and it was freezing. The wind picked up out of nowhere and never stopped blowing so it felt colder than it really was. My best friend Lil and I were struggling to hear each other and we were right next to each other. It was so much fun though to be at a tournament where I could actually sit and watch the whole game. I love softball!!! After the games we sat in a much needed hot tub with our good friends Mike, Lil and Horace to relax and thaw out. We were able to sleep in Saturday before they started playing again. It was much nicer on Saturday. No wind and sunshine. They got two more games in before being out. We didn't play the best the last game but it didn't help that the umps were HORRIBLE and that is not an understatement. It was a down right joke. We then went back to the hotel for a while before heading out to dinner. We then went back to the fields with our friends and watched a few more games and the championship game. Another night of hot tubbing and then back home on Sunday. It was such a fun and relaxing trip. It was so nice for Tommy and I to get away and spend some time together and hang out. Thanks again mom and dad. The kids had a blast!

It's a Dinosaurumpus....

Shake, Shake, Shudder, Shudder, near the sludgy old swap, the dinosaurs are coming get ready to romp. This is such a cute book and one of Caleb's favorite. We checked it out at the library a couple weeks ago and it was read several times a day. I knew that Caleb would not ever want to return it so I ordered his own copy. He was so excited! I made up a little "chant" or "tune" to read this and Caleb has 98% of the book memorized so he chants right along with me. In fact, as I am writing this he is "reading" it to Bailey. We love this book!
