Spring and girls (early 2013)

I LOVE spring!! I think it is officially my favorite season. I love the seeing the daffodils start poking out of the ground, the smell of fresh rain, sending the kids outside to enjoy the sunshine, sidewalk chalk, counting down the last days of school. I could go on and on!

Today I really took the time to enjoy the wonderful minds of my girls. Brooke is getting so old! She talks older and I love to watch her think little decisions over in her mind. I told her she could watch Erin and Abby over spring break while I slept and she is sooo excited (and smug) about it, but she has done a great job. She is a little bit of a tom boy that loves to dress up. Today she and Erin were wiping the table down after dinner and I heard her say, "K Erin, you wipe that side while I wipe this side. Just pretend there is a force field right there" pointing to the middle of the table. It made me laugh! Also after the rain storm she picked up three worms and put them in the garden so they would help the soil and plants. She named them Mr., Mrs., and jr. worm. I love her sooo much!!

Erin is my lovely girl! She loves to dress up and has a really good sense of style. I think she is just beautiful. She is really good at reading, I think, at this age and loves school. I have had 2 other parents with boys in her class that tell me there sons try to kiss her at recess. One little boy is in her primary class and has given her lots of gifts. I think it is so cute. I told her that if she liked the boy she could let them kiss her on the cheek, but she told me she doesn't like any of them. Jason said "Good! keep it that way." Hahaha! Ya right, my guess is that by the time she is in 5th or 6th grade she will be getting lots of kiss on the cheek!

Abby is just a wonderful 3 year old. She still has a lot of sass but she is starting to listen and do, with just a little bit of back talk, when we tell her to do something. She still makes us laugh everyday and sometimes says really wise things that just take me by surprise. For example, Easter sunday she said she wanted to go to church to show Jesus her pretty new dress but that Jesus was gone. I asked her where he was and she said "He's died". I told her that he was alive because he was resurrected and that is why we celebrate Easter but by that time I think she was off to another subject and she wasn't listening to me. Hopefully she got a little bit of it. She gives the best hugs and loves to hug as many people as she can. I love to kiss and hug her so much!

Sorry I have no pictures but I am at work and thought I would write a little of what was on my mind. Have a great day!!

Wow!!! I know what your thinking.

So I am sitting here in the middle of the night reading the wonderful blogs of family and friends, and realized I am the only sister in my family who is not blogging. Michaelene has bugged me for awhile now to update more, especially with her and Andrea leaving the country, so here is to blogging better!!!

School is out!!

"Schools out for summer! schools out forever!" I think I sang this song every year at the end of school and now that Brooke is in school I think I need to start the tradition again.

It is amazing how the time just flies by us. I feel like I just graduated and my life, I felt, was just beginning. Now my 10 year reunion is coming up this year and Brooke will be going into the 2nd grade! Wow, how old I feel.

Brookes school decided to do a spirit week the last week. One day was nerd day and another was crazy hair day. Those are my favorite and sometimes I can get a little overboard but we have fun dressing up. I took some pictures of my fabulous work.

A new blog!

Well, I accidentally erased my old blog. I was trying to change my email address on it. I found out there is only one way to change your email on it, and it is not obviouse. You have to make your blog a team blog and then delete your team member. If anyone needs to change there email on there blog account just ask me and I will give you the details. I will be changing it here and there so stay tuned.

Just a little update. We are moving June 3! YAY!! The home is not a lot bigger than the one we have now but it does have 3 bedrooms and a lot more storage area. We have a big backyard that is fenced in and a great patio for eating yummy food and drinking lemonade in the summer! I will post picture when we move in. I am excited and nervus at the same time. We have lived in this neighborhood for 8 years and have become very comfortable, we now the people and love the area, and now we have to start all over again. It will be worth it though, I'm sure!
