Today's Fun

Tai and her kids came over early this morning to help us decorate Easter cookies. We all had fun using different colored frosting and sprinkles! Some of the cookies ended up looking a little questionable....but they sure tasted great anyways!

Afterwards, my three had fun playing in the backyard and getting ready for bed.

I'm tired after a long day and am going to go play a game with my sweet husband.

HAPPY ALMOST EASTER!!

I know this is probably more appropriate for St. Patrick's Day, but....it was the closest thing I could find for Easter with 5 people. At least it's green - right? Enjoy your Easter weekend!

Happy April!!

Paisley being her clingy little self. This is pretty much how she spends her day.... She follows me around the house and pulls on my to pick her up. Allllll day! Little stinker! Go play! =D

Me being me! Haha.

Paisley lovin on Daddy.

At Rai's b-day party.

Uhhh.... Not sure what this is....? The kids made it in Tai's backyard. I asked Amber and she said it's a "weather thingy". Hmmm.... I'm not really seein it. Help?

Amber's Haircut

Today we took Amber to get her hair cut. I really didn't want to see it go, but it was time. The ends have gotten pretty gross over the last year or so and she wakes up every morning with a big nasty snarl in the back of her head. So....good-bye hair!

Getting started. Note how long her hair is here...

Bye-bye hair! Bye-bye snarls!

Cute girl! No tears this time around!

This is about half the hair on the floor. It looks like a small creature....

Amber really loves her new haircut. And hopefully it will be easier for her to take care of it. No more nasty matted morning hair! I think her new cut makes her look a bit more mature. My baby's growing up!!

Yesterday

I was up a 4am yesterday morning giving Paisley a bottle and putting her back to bed. I tried to put myself back to bed....but it didn't work. Instead, I came up with this crazy idea to force Tai to come over and we'd make Rai and Joc Easter dresses with my leftover fabric. But I didn't have a pattern that would work very well. Soooo....I made one up! When Tai and her kids came, I measured both girls and even used pipe cleaners to make the shape of their armpits. =) Tai and I drew up the pattern pieces, got everything cut up, and every piece just fit together perfectly! Until we tried Rai's dress on her. Ummm.....so I forgot to add in seam allowances in my measurements. And apparently that's a really big deal. Hahaha! So because I'm an idiot (which really probably maybe had at least a little to do with being up since 4?? no? fine....) Rai and Joc ended up with Easter skirts. But I learned my lesson and intend to try again. I really really loved my dress's design! Stupid seam allowances! Grrr!

The whole time Tai and I were busy sewing like mad women, the older 4 kids were in the backyard building Tiny (our cat) a home using giant waist-high weeds. They even decorated it for her. And when Tiny was shoved into her new home, she didn't run away. Nope. She curled up, purred, and went to sleep. Such an accomadating kitty!

Easter Girls

Easter falls on General Conference weekend this year, so I dressed the girls in their new Easter dresses for church this morning. They were gorgeous if I do say so myself! And I do!

Three Good Ones Today!

Last post....
Paisley has FINALLY gotten used to sitting up in the tub! I know this doesn't sound that exciting...but to me it really really is. Cause for the past several months since she's outgrown her infant tub, she'd only let me wash her if she was laying down. She'd splash and babble happy as can be....and the second I would sit her up, poor Paisley would just panic! I'm talkin grabbing at me, desparately tying to drag herself out of the tub, the whole time screaming in sheer terror. I have noooo clue what was going through her little mind. But lately she's been okay with sitting up. Until she props herself up using the side of the tub and slips. Then it's panicky Paisley again. Oh well. At least I got some cute happy bath baby pics! =)

All ready for bed! I love clean babies!

Jade's Jewelry

Jade came home from school not too long ago quite excited. She dangled a baggie full of fun plastic jewelry in my face yelling about buying them at school. Hmmm....I know she doesn't have any money..... She told me she earned 7 Aztec bucks and bought all the jewelry today. David asked if any of the other girls bought some and she said she was the first girl to buy stuff and she got all of it. The other girls had to buy boy stuff. Hahaha! Wow, Jade....that's umm... kind? At least she shared with Amber. What a GIRL!

You should appreciate this, Tai - Jade says the big pink ring on her right hand (over Amber's shoulder) looks "just like Aunt Tai's pretty ring"

3 sets of earrings

32 (I think...) rings

Fun Girl's Lunch

Today Paisley and I met up with Tai, her kids and Lila for lunch at The Island Burgers. Soooo yummy!

Thanks, Lila!

Lila and Tai's girls

A Couple Randoms

This is what happens when you jump on a bed and hit your head on the fan....twice in one day! Oh, Jade....

I think we're in for a lot of trouble.....

Happy Girl

"Hi, Daddy!"

"Gimme kisses!"

"Please let me out, Mommy!"

Nothin better than tearing chunks off a magazine and eating them!
