Park and laundry:(

Yesterday started out a beautiful day so we decided on the park again...well as soon as we got over there it was freezing!
We ate our picnic anyway and played for a while.

This time Parks and Bright joined us:-)

Crazy kid didn't care it was cold.

Nneither did this one.

Bright got all the way down the slide in the background and then said

"Aunt Trish this is the wrong one."

He meant to go down the other twirly slide.

JD did not like walking in the wood chips.

Keija liked eating the wood chips.

This my friends is the reason I HATE laundry.

I'm not exagerrating when I say this is only half of the laundry.

Kailye got bored with it and decided it was movie time.

Keija is in there somewhere:)

Sunshining Day!!!!

Today was GORGEOUS!!! Mom and I have been working out most everyday at the gym. The past two days have been so nice we had to take advantage.

So off to the park...the track is exactly 1/2 a mile so four times around:)

Thank goodness for blogger...

Our neighbor accidentally erased ALL our picture's from the past 6 years off of our computer. So...I am so glad for at least the last two years I have been blogging. I would have no pictures of my kids if I didn't. I am SUPER sad to not have all my pictures especially the one's of kk when she was younger...because, like I said, I have only been blogging for the past 3 years. So, if any of you have any pictures of Michael and I or our kids will you PLEASE email them to me?...the neighbor is still trying to see if he can get the pics back but who knows.

One of those days...+ a lot of syrup:-)

I woke this morning with a serious lack of motivation. I decided today I did not feel like being a wife/mom/maid and then...a friend reminded me (unintentionally) some people would love to trade me. I was one of those people less than a year ago-minus the wife part. I was a mama who worked full time and was a part time mom, part time wife, and a less then part time "maid". I was VERY grateful for the reminder to be happy and thankful for what I have and the incredible oppurtunity I have to stay home with my babies. I know what it is like on the other side and I can't believe after less than a year I had forgotten so easily. Thank you to this person...you know who you are:)

So after that...

Dishes done (3 loads later)
Floors scrubbed
Kitchen cleaned
Errands run
Kids Fed
Kids bathed
Laundry...well...started
Dinner?...well I made cookie dough:-)

I just have some random pictures from today...
Are we in trouble with this one or what?

She crawled out on the steps and kicked Kk out of the way:-)..I'm not exaggerating.
This is the only face I could get on camera today.I couldn't find her pants this morning before I headed up to Yoga so...I grabbed the tutu.
She loved it. I think I'm going to make a few more so I can put them on her more often.

"This grass feels weird?!"

I know Michael looks a little...well...you know. But Keija looked so sweet.

My cute baby has so many chins...LOL!

Michael just maybe might have broken his finger...what do you think.
Yeah, we are headed into the doc tomorrow.
Stinking rugby!...gotta love that Aflac though.

I know that was random.

Teeth!

"I don't want to pull it out!!! It will hurt!"

"Don't make me do it!!!!....no dad don't touch it!"

"What the crap lady?...It's just a tooth!"
"Oh that wasn't even bad. It came right out."I can't believe my monkey lost her first tooth. I'm thinking we are going to have some heafty ortho bills in the future since the other tooth was already growing in behind...oh yeah!

V-day and other good stuff.

We started out the weekend with a Friday night with the family. Nat, Chandler, and Leeana came over to enjoy some yummy dinner (Garlic/Italian Chicken & Red Potatoes, and yummy rolls) and an apple pie my mom sent home for us to share.

The Girls were watching Madagascar 2!

Aubri is 6 weeks older, 4 lbs. lighter, and 3 inches shorter...she's so tiny:)

They may have a little bit of cousin rivalry already...

Keija won...based purely on size I'm sure.
This is how I found the monkey Saturday morning...She somehow managed to stand like that. Silly girl!
Should I be worried about my 5 year old getting roses from the neighbor boys already?...

It's not just the roses...
It started with a married proposal 2 weeks ago...
and then
A Valentine a day for a week..
and then
Roses!

She's 5!!!!
My girls are such happy kids...these are the flowers Michael gave all of us for the day!
the Lillies (my faves!) are all open and gorgeous today!
After the morning festivities we headed to PF Chang's for lunch with my parents and then off to see Push. Lunch was delicious and the movie was alright...but...that little Dakota Fanning looks so much like my daughter that it was a little strange to watch.

Saturday night we went and found out we are having a...
BOY!!!
We are very excited to mix it up a bit around our house.

Sunday we heade to Gma & Gpa Coombs for there
54th anniversary Soup & Scones...so yummy.
I wish I would have had a camera with me to take a picture of Keija snuggling up to her Great Grandpa. She wouldn't even go to her Daddy...ahhh, shocking. It was so cute.

Laser tag & bath time?

I was taking a bath tonight when Keija came into the bathroom. She goes straight in everytime she hears the water going but today...she leaned over and dove on in...

"Ha ha mom I made it!"

"See dad look how funny I am!"
"I have to what now? You want me to get out?"If you look closely at the first picture you can see she has her shoes and socks on still.

Michael & Kailye went to play Laser tag with the family last Friday while Keija and I hung out at mom's. They had a lot of fun.
