What kind of flower are you??

I am a Sunflower What Flower Are You?

One of my friends had this posted on her blog and I thought it would be fun so I went ahead and took it. The results are flattering saying, "When your friends think smile, they think of you. There is not a day that goes by that you can't find something good about the world and your fellow human." Maybe I lied too much on the test answers! Take it and see what kind of flower you are!

Losing Teeth & Growing Teeth

Well, Johnny's mouth is one tooth less today. He lost his first tooth yesterday and was as proud as could be. He could hardly wait every day for this tooth (that has been loose for 2 months) to fall out. He saw one of his friends at school loose a tooth and get a little treasure box from the nurse to put it in so he kept saying, "I sure hope I loose my tooth at school so that I can get a little treasure box for it." He thought it was the coolest thing, and then at lunch yesterday while biting into his corndog, out it came and he got his great orange treasure box to put it in. He was so excited to see how much money the tooth fairy would bring. I must say, she's more generous now than when I lost my teeth as a kid. I think I used to only get a quarter, but he got a dollar! Must be inflation! Now that Johnny is losing his teeth, Josie is finally growing some. In the past month she has cut about 9 (#9 will probably be all the way through by tomorrow). It has been miserable for both her and I. She has both bottom, top, and one molar in all 4 corners and now a top eye tooth is making its way in with the rest probably close behind. She looks so much older with teeth (pardon her crazy hair that just makes her look crazy, I can't get her to keep in her pony tails). Anyway, this weekend Johnny is going on his first scout camp-out with his dad, he thinks he's so grown up to get to hang out with the scouts. We'll have a girls weekend here, Maggie really wants to rent the new SpongeBob movie, go figure. It's because she's already seen every episode on TV and won't watch anything else. Should be a very exciting weekend!

Easter Picture Re-Do ...

Easter picture re-dos!

So last Sunday our pictures kind of fizzled, so yesterday we re-did our Easter dress and took more pictures. It was a really windy day, so it wasn't the best of conditions, but we have a nice patch of grass outside our door that makes it look like we don't live in the desert and you can't see all the dust blowing around. It was a good place for pictures. Unfortunately no matter what we did Josie slept through it all, so I've added her picture from Micki's last week. Now I feel better about all the money I spent on their nice, new clothes!!

Easter 2007

I really feel like I failed my Motherly duties to take a million beautiful pictures of my kids all dressed up in their new Easter clothes for pictures. So, this is what we have. But, after the way I felt Saturday I guess we were even lucky to get everyone in their clothes, let alone make it to church on time. We appreciate Micki & Spencer for the lunch and letting us come get ready at their house, we love spending time with them. Next week we're doing Easter dress over so that we can take some more pictures. So when I post Easter pictures twice, you'll know why!

Easter Egg Hunt 2007

Maggie was mad because she didn't find the "silver" egg with the dollar in it. Johnny did. See the difference on their faces? We all had a successfull Easter Egg Hunt this year. The kids ended up with more treats than they could eat and all ended up happy. Except Mommy. Maybe Mommy had too many treats because Mommy had the flu and was throwing up all day. Which is why Josie never quite made it out of her pajamas on Saturday. Daddies don't know the difference, so it just doesn't matter.



















Everyone had a good time and it was great to enjoy everyone's company. We appreciate all the family that came back for the 2nd round to get the other half of their treats so we could spend more time together!

Hidden talents ...

Josie found her new favorite toy while at Grandma's house. We do believe that she's showing great talent in this new area. She's learning to sing before she can even walk! Who cares if she's behind in walking? Isn't that when all the great stars say they learned? She had a good time putting on a show for us all and was quite proud of herself. And we'd like to thank Aunt Micki for all the encouragement!

Hogle Zoo 4-2007

We went to the Hogle Zoo on Thursday, April 4th with our good friends Kendra, Brody, Dallin & Ella. We had so much fun being able to spend time together. Of course I get home and regret instantly all the pictures that I missed. I really wanted family pictures and pictures of the kids together and pictures of baby Brody, who was so good at the zoo!

I couldn't resist the shot from behind of their cute rears!










Such good little friends!
