Boys will be boys!!


Brian decided to turn the governor down on the four wheeler so that Braxton could learn to drive it. He LOVED!! this. He giggled and smiled for the first hour that he got to ride it. His sisters were at school so there wasn't any interference. Braxton is so light that when he goes over the bumps, his little bum lifts off of the seat. We did learn yesterday that a 4 year old isn't aware of the things that can happen. He didn't wreck or anything. But he was told not to drive on the road, he had to stay on the grass. I looked out the window to see, Mikayla and Hallie on the blue four wheeler chasing Braxton and Garrett on the red four wheeler down the road. Every time Braxton would look back to see how close Mikayla was, His hand would turn with his head. (this reminds me a little of a time I was riding in SLC with Annie and every time she would turn her head to change lanes her hands would turn to a bit scary!) On our dirt road when he turned he would slide a little sideways. I though for sure they were going to crash. I yelled at everyone and kicked them off!! Mikayla says that she was trying to catch up to him and tell him to get off the road so the closer she got the faster he went. What else would a boy do? So after not getting to ride four wheelers and being bored Braxton found something else to do. He decided to fix my suburban. He is laying on a skateboard so that he can roll under and he is using his Home depot tool set that he got for Christmas last year. Where does a 4 year old boy learn this stuff?




OK!! Jen brought some hand bags that her sister was getting rid of to Idaho and all the nieces chose from the pile. This bag still had a tag on it and had never been used "( i wonder why?) Ashley loved this bag and took it to school every day till the zipper broke. She was very sad to think it was broken and being the good and loving mom I am, I said ohh, its broke I think we will have to throw it away.LOL!!

Does your 3 year old know how to get to Walmart?



The only reason I like days like today is when it is cold and raining outside, it is the best time to scrapbook. I started and didn't have any glue dots and I needed them for the page I was doing so it was off to Walmart. We asked Boone if he wanted to got to Walmart and he said no he wanted to play at Koy's house, Braxton was already there so I called to see if that was OK and Kaden said that would be fine so we dropped Boone off and watched him go in the house and left. I have no Idea how long he was there, if he was sent home or what. But he decided he was walking to Walmart to find Mom and Dad. Matt Williams found him down on the main road and brought him home. He was scared and upset and he went in the Bathroom yelling and throwing things. Natasha said he put his coat and bath mat in the toilet. He throws the biggest tantrums!!! We were gone about 25 minutes and all of this happened!! I am so glad that he was safe. But this boy is going to be the death of me!! We tried to explain to him why it's not safe to to Walmart not even Mom walks to Walmart I said and all he could say was WHY? WHY?

Easter Dresses

One of my favorite things about Easter is getting to sew my girls dresses. It's always fun and it's even more fun to be all finished. I took 2 inches out of the bodice and they were all still big hence the pink undershirts!! It makes me mad when things don't turn out the way you dream them but oh well!! My girls love them and that's all that matters!!

Easter Chocolate

I was making Easter Chocolates for my kids today while they were at school. There was chocolate that was left over, so I decided to make little dollops on wax paper for the kids to eat after school. Nitchele came in the door and saw it immediately. She said " is this chocolate?" I looked at her with a little smile and said, " no it's poop". She looked back at with and with a big smile and said, " I like poop". I laughed so hard. I guess I need to be careful with what I say when they ask questions that they should already know the answer to. This reminds me of my mom and the silly things she used to say. I love how I can look back and remember some of those silly things and smile about them!!
