BOYS WILL BE BOYS!

Today was a crazy Sunday as John and I did final preparations for our lessons, went over Mace's first primary talk, and finally found the lost Sunday shoe! We managed to make it to 9:00 church just as the opening prayer was being said-------BUT, we were there and all completely dressed--- Whewww! I don't know how people do it with more kids!

I whispered Mace's talk to him a couple times during sacrament meeting and he would smile "yeah mom, you got it right!" He was so proud of me:) Primary came and Mace did so good on his talk. I always worry a bit---because you never know what will come out of his mouth! Here is a picture of him holding his Prophet Puppets we made for his talk---I will try and figure out how to post a video of his talk for our grandmas!

Well, after all of that, church still isn't over and you know there is more to come with my crazy boys....
AFTER YOUNG WOMEN'S I WAS TALKING TO A FRIEND IN THE HALL AS MY KIDS ROUND THE CORNER---"MOMMY!" KESTON ALMOST STOPS DEAD IN HIS TRACKS AS HE POINTS---"WHAT'S THAT"---(POINTING TO MY FRIEND'S PREGNANT BELLY:)) HE WAS ALMOST HYPNOTIZED AS I TOLD HIM, "HER BABY IS IN THERE"----HE JUST KEPT STARING --- AND WE, OF COURSE, KEPT TALKING.

THE NEXT THING I KNOW, HE IS LYING ON THE FLOOR ALONG WITH MACE---LOOKING UNDER HER DRESS!!! "ANT FIN IT"---AS TO SAY "CAN'T FIND THE BABY"----TALK ABOUT EMBARASING!!!KESTON JUST COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IN THE WORLD SHE WOULD CARRY HER BABY UNDER HER DRESS! WELL, THAT WAS A GREAT LAUGH FOR US TODAY AND SPURRED L-O-T-S OF CONVERSATION AT OUR HOME:)

Well, you know me, just a little paranoid that this could offend----and I wanted to teach my kids that we DO NOT look up dresses----so we made little pink cupcakes for my friend and took them over to appologize. But that only spurred more conversation---since they are having the baby tomorrow and Mace just can't figure out how they will ever get that BABY OUT! But, when they do, the baby will not be hungry---because she will have cupcakes to eat----and here is my messy Keston licking the beaters!

SUPER HERO AUNT!

John and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary in March and my sister Jen watched the boys for us. While the boys had their sleep over at Aunt Jen's she managed to spoil them. Her little boy Jaxon, loves to hand down his toys and clothes to Mace----one of which was the cool Superman PJs Mace is wearing below. Well, Jen figured Keston needed some too, so she went out and found him some. For the next few days, the Superman PJs were worn all day! Mace was so proud that his little brother could be a super hero like him. Here they are flexing their SUPER MUSCLES! Now, that is not the funny part....as they were putting on their Superman PJs one night ----Mace looked at me and my PJs. "Don't worry mom, Aunt Jen is good at finding them." Meaning she would be able to find some for me and John----so look what you started Aunt Jen! We sure love you and thank you for the PJs!

MARCH MEMORIES!

Okay, I know April is half over --- but here is a little about our memories from March...

My friend Meagan took us to the Discovery museum again, she is so good to get me out of the house! My boys were all over the place! I felt like I had a huge workout---with both of them going in opposite directions all day. This is the only picture that captured all of them together--and not one of them is looking at me---I guess you just can't compete with Elmo and Friends! ----Thanks again for the fun Meags and Ashlin...

Happy Spring handprint creations...


Lots of fun Easter Egg hunts! We had a little hunt here at our house with Jen, Jami, and Kody's kids on Saturday morning and then another fun hunt at Aunt Kay and Uncle Wade's home on Sunday...

Easter morning was crazy with 9:00 church! We might have to tell the Easter Bunny to come on Saturday next year! Mace was so impressed that the Easter Bunny even knew Daddy lived at our house and was so impressed with daddy's basket:) And then there is Keston----he never stays away from the camera when you try and get a picture----so here is another close up! Happy Easter Boys...We Love You!
