Mason is always asleep when I am taking pictures, so here is his own photo shoot of the week.

Vernal Love

Of course the highlight
this week for the kids
was when Maddie
came and stayed with us.
















































































We were really bored
today so we went on
a rock hunt and found
some good bricks to
paint and turn into
Box Heads. (Tyler's idea)














Nathan reads at night
to Tyler. (Harry Potter
and The Great Brain)












Our new swing















Wow.

Jiggly Bum and Play-Doh Legs

I HAD to sit down and write this before I forget all the gruesome details. My issue with exercising is this: Can't Heavenly Father create a way to lose extra bonus calories on the treadmill simply for the obstacles a mother must deal with while running? For 30 minutes Hailey was hanging on the right side of the treadmill like it is a jungle gym singing as loud as she can to her 99 cent am/fm "ipod" (she doesn't know that there are waaay better Mp3 players out there), trying over and over to grab my ankle during the slower walking part. Emma is on my left side with her 10 gallons of Victoria Secret perfume on (4 different smells which = my stomach churning the whole time) while dropping a little doll brush on the treadmill to watch it "ride" down. Mason is sleeping and Tyler is "listening" for him, or so I think until Tyler comes down wanting me to fix his new yo-yo. So now I am stressed that Mason is awake from his nap screaming in his crib. All this for a measly 195 calories burned off. Oh yea, and my ipod is playing fabulous kid tunes like "Bert and Ernie" and On Top of Spaghetti, but I will take responsibility for that because I use all my computer time documenting these precious moments rather than fix my itunes play list.

P.S. The title of this post actually came from Tyler and Hailey's mouths. I laughed the first time they said it because it was so funny, now they ALWAYS say it. grrrrrr. But I still smile my "I-am-a-patient-and-pleasant-mom" smile just because I am patient and pleasant mom, right? :)

A big ole handful of pictures....

So Nathan is having me texture our
stinking ceiling. Ah the joys of joint compound plopping in my eye.
(Why he thinks I am able to do this with 4 little kids
-one a baby permanently attached to my hip-I will
never know). But we were able to do some fun
things this week:

Vernal=Dinosaurland

Cave women

Tyler was beyond irritated that I made

him listen to the boring plate-tectonic

fossil movie.

The extent of Mason's fun.

A little acting. :)

Some Emma pictures.....

......(first dance recital where she

did nothing but stand there on the stage.)...

....the coolest toy I own in my opinion.

2 Sundays ago Nate took us for a Sunday drive.

Little did I know we would be up to our ankles in
mud and doing this...(Look at how Nate carried Mason in his car seat). He always has a surprise up his sleeve.

Mason's Blessing

It was a wonderful day for us. Jamie calls him Miracle Mason. :)















Getting fatter...

...but can't quite catch up to Lucy Bug.

****Jamie has me scared that some wacko from the United Kingdom will come and stalk me, (kidding....sort of), so I am going to privat-ize my blog. Anyone that I know and like are welcome to come "over" and see what is going on with us though. (I like everyone that I have seen here on this blog. :) Maybe in the next week I will do it, so send me an email if you want to keep coming around.
