Great news!!

Josh got into the same school as Brianna! I received a call today that there was a spot open and I accepted it. It's so nice to know this early because now I can start buying clothes and making plans. Plus the school is one street over from our house so it's way close! YAY!

Pics of the kids!

I want to wish my nephew Joe-Joe a happy belated birthday! He turned 3 years old yesterday.

Here are some pictures of the kids at Chuck E Cheese..




Here is a pic of Camden after he got into Brady's Easter candy. YUM!

Here is Josh meditating at the dentist's office.

My thoughts on Conference

I sobbed when President Monson told the story of the woman who lost her husband and all of her children. All of those children were the same age as all of mine,so it hit a nerve.

So those are my thoughts.

What,you thought I would have more?

Well I probably would have but hard as I tried, there was no spirit at my house yesterday.

As soon as conference came on,I made my kids get off the computer which made them freak out. Then when they came out in the family room,all I heard was whining and complaining. "I hate conference!" "It's so boring and stupid!" "I want to play the computer!"

Unfortunately because of all the complaining,I lost my temper. It didn't help that I didn't get much sleep the night before. Or that my hubby was doing the "do as I say,not as I do" and sitting at the computer during some of conference. Then I have to hear, "how come daddy gets to play on the computer?" Needless to say,I didn't feel very spiritual.

Yesterday was just a hard day.

Say hello to the newest member of our family!


This is Cindy,our betta fish. Grandma gave the kids some money so they could have a pet. My kids aren't spoiled at all,are they?
Oh well,the kids are so excited to have a pet and I'm happy because it's low maintenance. Everybody wins!

~~Josh and Bri went to a dance class earlier this week and they loved it! They had tons of fun with their Aunt Ems. (who is the dance teacher) Afterward Brianna was pretty down on herself saying,"I wasn't any good at all". It made me so sad! I reminded her that this was her first class and it takes practice to learn new things.

~~Brianna is now registered for kindergarten and she is so excited! Meanwhile I am wondering when she became old enough for school.

~~General Conference is this weekend and I can't wait to listen to our church leaders. I'm crossing my fingers that I will be able to hear some of it this year. ;)

Have a great weekend everyone!!

P.S.
As I have been typing this post,my space bar keeps getting stuck. Now I realize why...a nice smear of grape jelly is on it. I love how well my 2 year old listens to me when I say,"NO EATING AT THE COMPUTER!"

The End.
