BAD MOM!

Ok so the boys are a little upset with me and think that I love Sam the most and that all I do is post her pictures! Now to set the record straight, they don't let me take their picture near as much as she does. So to try and be a better mom I will try to sneak some pictures of them tomorrow and get them posted!! But here's just a little update on them:

Austin is very busy with baseball practice, his first game is next week. He is soo excited to be one of the pitchers!! He is ready for summer to say the least, he reminds me every morning how many days are left, 5,4,3,2,1. He also just started reading the Harry Potter books and really seems to be getting into them. I didn't think I would ever make a reader out of him!

Jeffery on the other hand doesn't get to play baseball because there wasn't enough interest with the boys his age, which I don't understand, I thought all boys loved to play sports!! So I'm looking for suggestions for something special just for him!! Jeff loves school and gets straight "A's"! But he is also ready for summer. I'm hoping that the high school will have a golf class this summer for him, he wanted to last year but it got canceled!! Golf just might be his thing! Although Jeff is a fast runner. Next time you see him ask him for a race!

EXTREME WEIGHT LOSS NEEDED!

Ok, so I've had a slight issue with gaining weight lately! It seems like the pounds just keep packing themselves on!! Soo I think it's time to get serious (that means I have to stop eating M&M's at work)! So the big question is how to start? Diet programs are yucky, slim fast is only good half frozen, starving is not an option and pills are expensive! Some people say that putting an item of clothing that you REALLY want to wear but can't fit in to on your wall or in plain sight really helps, but does it really? I know that exercise is a must but lately I just haven't had the "get up and go" I need. Any and ALL suggestions, recipes and ideas are GREATLY needed! Not to mention all kinds of encouragement! I need to know what works! Not to mention by the way that summer is just around the corner and I am no where near ready for a swimming suit, which Samantha thinks is our summer attire especially since we like soooo close to 2 outdoor pools! Doesn't that remind you of a song....Its bitsy tiny.........If you don't know the rest of that song I'm extremely disappointed!!

It's Not FAIR!

Have you ever had one of your children say to you it's not fair?

Well this was one of those moments!!

Happy "6th" Birthday

Samantha

A couple of weeks ago Sam started telling us what we were

going to get her for her birthday.

"Grandpa Wilding is getting me cowgirl boots so I can ride Kit"

" I can't learn to ride a horse without boots and a hat!"

I guess the other part is up to Grandpa Curtis!!

She can hardly wait for Saturday!

Out with the old.... (at least 20yrs old)
In with the new!

Right in the middle of a load of wash on sunday, my washer decides it's done! I thought it had just gotten off balance! O no, It has decided to completely give up! I guess thats what I get for doing laundry on a sunday, but when you have kids what days DON'T you do Laundry?!

So I searched and Searched, ( for those of you who don't know how little Pocatello is) all 4 possible stores for a new washer! Now you'd think that if a person is looking to buy a washer it's because they need one NOW not in 10 to 15 days! I searched and looked and thought I'd found a new washer, O wait we don't have that one, or that one, O and we don't have that one in STOCK! I Finally found this one! YEAH my Children can have clean clothes!

O and not to mention the discussion with Todd about what kind of washer to get! Thats a story for another day!!

Flowers

Ok so I'm trying to learn how to use PhotoShop,

I have a lot to learn obviously so if anyone wants to teach me.....PLEASE!!!

Just a little haircut!

For those of you who know my little girl Sam, she wanted to have hair down to her bottom! But O how she would cry and cry and cry when she had to have it combed. So today I (being tired of the crying and fits) made a Haircut sound like FUN!! (You do what ya gotta do)

I took off 6 inches as you can see, and my o my does her hair feel so much healthier. I hope to take a cute pic of her hair now! O and by the way she is completely HAPPY with her new hair!

Our Beautiful Mother and Grandmother

We lost our beautiful mom and grandma on April 7th to a long courageous battle with cancer. We love her soo much and will always remember the great example she has been to us. Mom had a strong testimony and loved to share it with everyone she met. Mom always showed great courage and never compained!

I love you mom with all my heart and will miss our daily phone calls, our long talks, and the wonderful example of motherhood you showed. I know that through the Plan of Salvation we will be together again!
