April

I KNOW!!! I am so sorry! I haven't posted anything for almost two months now! So to catch all of you up here is the month of April!

*may will soon follow!

The Begining of April; Miss May, Bubba Jones and I all went to the Dinosaur museum. We spent the day together just playing! We went to luch at JCW's and then played at the museum!

The dinosaur exhibits are pretty cool! They kids had lots of fun and were amazed at the real size of dinosaurs! They look so much more adorable and smaller on TV!

DUM DUM... DUM DUM... DUM DUM DUM DUM.... DUM DUM

There was also a hands on exhibit that the kids loved! It was a water trough were the kids built dams, created banks and islands and played in the sand! Big mess but lots of fun! For some reason Bubba Jones didn't like the feel of the wet sand.

The HIGHLIGHT of the month of April for me! To make a very long and complicated story very short and simple: I have this wonderful Aunt, Uncle and cousin that I have not seen in almost 7 years! Through facebook, I was able to get in contact with CCC again! We met at the Gateway and had lunch and let the kids play at the planaterium for a while! I felt like I had a piece/peace of my family back! It was an answer to many spoken and unspoken prayers!

And it's official! C and C are going to get sealed in the temple!!!!

Speaking of Temples!.....

Adam and Jessica got hitched!!! Long time Family Friends, The Cox/Ward family, came to play and celebrate! Laurie and Calvin are wonderful family friends whose son Adam married his sweetheart, Jessica in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. It was a great time to see old friends and wonderful faces of so many!

Seville and her wonderful face!

Carissa and Jaiden! Carissa (my sisters best friend!) is one of the most patient moms I know! She is my Hero! when it comes to patients with kids! (yes it was Jaidens nap time!)

Adam and Jessica! The happy couple!

Easter finally arrives! And we ended up with TWO! count them TWO! Easter parties. Easter saturday, I had to work but Hotstuff took Miss May and Bubba Jones over to Granny's house. Easter sunday, all of us went to Papa and Grandmas house. The kids got to hunt eggs in the basement (second year in a row... because the weather has always been to icky outside).

Strategically placed Easter Eggs! Can you find all three??

FINALLY, to finish off the month of April:

It is official! As of April, Bubba Jones is potty trained!!!!!!!!!!!! For the first time in 6 years, we no longer have to buy diapers nor do we in the forsee able future!!

Meet Flower!

We have a new addition to our family! She is a baby Dumbo Rat. She has black on top and a white belly, her tail has a band of white at the top and the tip is white. The kids are in love! Hotstuff and I thought it was time to help the kids learn more about responsibility (just don't tell our manager!)
So her she is! Our Flower!

Bubba Jones trying to hold her!

Checking out Hotstuff!

I LOVE MY HOTSTUFF!

Thank you for a beautiful life.

We love you.

Camp out with the croup!

Last month both Miss May and Bubba Jones had the croup! (Fun for me!) There is not much you can do for the croup except treat the symptoms. So I got a cheap $20 tent from Wal-mart and I finally invested in my own humidifier. I set up the tent, placed Miss May, Bubba Jones and the humdifier inside. The tent was set up in the living room and later moved to the bedroom at night. Who knew being sick was so much fun!! (notice the puke bucket redily available)

(The purpose of the tent was to humidify a smaller area allowing a greater concentration of humdity allowing the croup to break up faster.)..... (in case you were wondering)

(Not much room for anything else!)

From the life of my (ALMOST) 6 year old

"Mom, I saw Cal today at school! And when we saw each other we gave one another a great big hug and we even sat down next to each other on the carpet during reading time. I just love that boy. I think I am going to marry him." Miss May told me excitedly
"But I thought you were going to marry Dal?" I asked.
"No, Bo won't let me."
