Whole lotta postin' to do!

I'm finally feeling better today! Don't get me wrong I still think I may have a sinus infection but I really am feeling much better. I have so much to blog about too. I'm not one for backtracking but today I'm gonna because I want to share some pics from Mother's Day.

I had a great day. I love Mother's Day and all that it entails. At my house this means a clean house, meals prepared by my family, and presents. What more can a mom ask for? I'm one of those crazy women that likes to get kitchen gadgets and stuff for my house as gifts. Give me a new mixer, or a set of spoons, or some paint and I'm a happy gal. This year I asked for chalk board paint, magnetic paint, and a hair brush. I got them all!! Now I can't wait until I can tackle that project that I've been wanting to do. I also was showered with lots of homemade gifts (another one of my favorite things about Mother's Day), and a huge chocolate bar from the baby! SWEET!!!

Chris baked a cake, carrot with cream cheese frosting.


On Monday I attended a Mother's Day Tea at my friend Mary's house. I look forward to this party every year and plan months in advance what cute food I will bring. Well I had something completely different planned but when I woke up that morning I was not feeling well so chocolate covered strawberries were on the menu for me...quick, easy, beautiful, and delish! They went so fast I almost did not get one. With MD behind us we can now start planning for Father's Day.

I know I mentioned before that we are in a new ward. It's actually been fine. There have been some ups and downs for sure but for the most part it's exciting. I decided that I need to make friends with some peeps in my new ward so I attended playgroup on Friday... well long story short I didn't make any new friends because my boys and I were the only ones that showed up (unless you count the ones that were an hour and 15 minutes late, which I don't cuz I was already gone). Anyhoo no biggie, it was nice to play with my boys and have a picnic just the three of us. I actually got on the playground and played and I think C had a blast.

Babies like Cheetos!

Mamma's like swinging too!

O also had a concert at school last week. She had a part where she read a poem. It was really cute and she had the whole thing memorized. Here's the only picture I got because I could not see her the whole time she was singing. I sat on the wrong side!





I also got to the concert really early and decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather, and great lighting and get some cute pics of O and L.

I think that's about it.  For now!

I feel badly that I didn't show up at playgroup that day. I think we were at the doctor or something like that. Hopefully being the only one there didn't make you not want to come again.

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

34 Reasons Why I Love You

Today is Chris Birthday! I'm awful about making plans and doing things for him so this year I have tried my best to be better. We are having a small party if you will , with some friends tonight and having his favorite apple cake with caramel topping. I also wanted to give him a little extra and thought I needed to publicly share some of the reasons why I love him. I'm not big on PDA , public displays of affection not the little handheld computer he carries around. So this is very different for me. 34 Reason Why I love You... 34. You like the same TV shows I do 33. If you don’t like the TV show you watch it anyway 32. You are a great Dad 31. You take care of me when I’m sick (even though I’d rather disappear when you are sick) 30. You are very tidy (OK I’m not) 29. You love my cooking 28. If you don’t love my cooking you are kind about it 27. You can cook 26. You support me in my calling no matter how many nights I’m gone, and it's a lot. 25. You encourage me to go t...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...
