March means...

Rediscovering the back yard! Swing set, watering flowers, trying to get grass to grow, putting expired beans in the almost empty turtle sand box....
Make-up mayhem. When we took the children to see Cinderella at Jesters the step sisters were wearing hideous make-up. Why does my daughter always pick the scary people to reenact?
Bubbles in camping chairs. I am super impressed with the $.99 Disney bubble necklaces we got at Target!
Going to the park. Michelle gets to enjoy being pushed on the swing by mommy, sister, & brother. Spoiled!
Play dates. Pictured is William, 2 weeks older than Michelle, at Chelsi W's house. We were visiting the ward co-op preschool & loved it. Kaelah & Danny are going Tues./Thurs. next year and after much thought I am switching Kaelah from my friend Stacie's at-home ps to my friend Stacey's at-home ps (for Mon./Wed.). lol.
Danny & Michelle love cats (especially Danny) so I took them to the Humane Society. Here they are when I asked Danny to help Michelle find another cat to look at. These 2 are so easy out & about together. Amazing how different family dynamics are when 1 child is missing from the group. Any 2 of my children are easy but somehow that #3 (whoever it is) can be the crazy #.
Dan's soft ball league started up the same week church basketball ended. Dan invited Danny & Michelle & I to join his team at the batting cages (Kaelah was at ps). I just happened to have a City Deals half price coupon so the children & I went an hour early and had a blast. No wonder Danny's favorite part was the go-karts. They let him ride a kiddie one by himself but had to go super slow. He loved it when he & I drove together & giggled almost the whole time.
Michelle decided mini golf was much more efficient if you just use your hands instead of the club.
And this is a sight we've seen more than once this month. They are being bakers... you would understand if you read the "Baby Wanna Be" book Shannon gave us when Kaelah was younger. (: On the topic of pull-ups, Danny has gone accident free for an entire week now! I am sooooo very proud of my 2.5 year old! Way to go, Danny! (Pun intended.) And Michelle only had one accident today, her 2nd birthday. She's well on her way. Of course, her birthday post will come after Saturday, when we celebrate. Tonight we had FHE about how we lived in Heaven before we were born and how Jesus was chosen to be our Savior & made the world for us. We also gave Michelle the Minnie Mouse dress we bought for her to wear on Saturday to Disney on Ice. The children we all super happy (even though Danny & Michelle have colds) so that's all that really mattered. I'm so lucky to have these 3 children in my family!

Happy 250th Birthday

Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
