{March 2011}

I am sorry for all of the collages. March was a fun month and I had lots of pics so this was the quickest way for me to get all the ones on here that I wanted to!!

**TRYING TO MAKE THE BEST OF IT-

March started out for us like this.......... SNOW! Some really nice days but never-the-less.... SNOW! We tried to take advantage of it and have some fun! Kayson LOVED being outside even if it was in the snow.... notice the thumbs up! That's one of his new favorite things to do..... he'll say, "Gimme a BIG sumbs up" (just like they say on Super Why!) As we were playing outside this day I had to keep telling him to watch out for the deer poop so that he didn't step in it and he would say,"WHAT DA HECK! Poop deer is sick!!!" - yep! My son says 'what the heck' and yep he says 'poop deer' instead of deer poop! LOL

**ST.PATRICKS DAY-

We had a fun filled St. Patricks Day in Burley.... I know it's not a really important holiday, but I tried to take advantage of the opportunity to make it a fun day! :) OK OK the truth is I am a kid at heart and I love to celebrate fun little holidays like this....... don't you remember when you were a kid and it was exciting to go to school on St. Patricks Day and look for ANYONE that didn't have green on just so you could pinch them..... eventually it would become a game and green or not, St. Patricks Day was the ticket to pinch people all day long and not get in trouble!!

Anyway- It was a fun day and somewhat nice outside so Kayson and Jayme and Nana went for a walk to see Papa Morley, and ride on the scooter.... Kayson thinks that's the coolest thing ever! We made St. Patty's Day cupcakes and ate green pancakes at breakfast! The pic below is our attempt at being like the people on Cupcake Wars- (they make their cupcakes look so delightful!) What a fun day!

**VISIT FROM MEME-

Last week we were able to have Meme come stay with us for the WHOLE week! She was on spring break and we feel special that she wanted to come spend it with us! We went to a movie, built a fort in the snow that we still had left, had a picnic at the park, made cookies, watched lots of chic flics,Jayme and Kayson had a sleepover,and Jayme had a fun night with Jason and Em and their niece Rachel at the fun park (go to their blog to see fun pics of that). We made Jayme's favorite- Hawaiin Haystacks, we laughed alot and had many silly moments dancing in the kitchen! What a fun week Meme- thanks for coming to visit we sure love ya!

**BRY'S HIKE WITH THE YM-

Can I just say that I have the COOLEST husband in the world..... He and Brian Abbott (one of the other leaders in the priest quorum) took the Young Men on a super cool hike. Believe it or not these pictures were taken just above Richmond! BEAUTIFUL- It was cold but at least the sun was shining. They had a really good time and, after hiking all day long in the snow, I don't know about the boys, but Bry was pretty tired!!!

I love that Bry is so active and can get out and do these kinds of things with the boys.

Great pictures Bry... I think he got some really good ones!

** 2 YEAR OLD MISCHIEF!

So Kayson got into my makeup and drew all over himself with black eye liner. The silly thing is- I was standing literally RIGHT next to him putting makeup on myself and talking to my Mom on the phone..... It only took the little stinker a few seconds to draw all over his arms and tummy before I caught him. Glad I did WHEN I did otherwise it probably would have turned from artwork into a masterpiece!!!! When I asked him why he did it he said,"I was jus writing K-A-Y-S-O-N, Kayson!" As least he knows how to spell his name right!

**SPRING HAS SPRUNG AND I AM LOVING IT!

Kays and I went and walked around the yard a few days ag0- It was super super nice outside- and to my delight this is what we found..... I am so excited that flowers are starting to come up and plants are coming out of hibernation to grace us with their presence! It gives me hope that spring is officially on it's way! Now that we've had a taste of it I am pretty sure I have lost my husband- the yard is calling his name and my basement is probably going to get put on hold! Any inside projects we have going are probably going to have to wait, but I am grateful that I have a healthy husband who enjoys making our yard beautiful! He does such a great job and I am so glad that he has a nack for it! We have been wanting a cool table in our backyard to enjoy through the summer months and this is what my husband came up with! He says he's not a "craftsman" but I beg to differ! I LOVE it and I think it turned out great! The flower pot can stay, as for the deer horns, I think they would be much happier in a flower bed somewhere :) ...............

Sorry bout the dirty face.... he was too busy playin to let me wipe it..... no really- I said let me wipe your face and he replied, "I'm too busy Mom, I don't have time for that stuff!"

Love this boy..... he is getting big so fast I can't believe it! I keep a notebook on my kitchen counter and when he says something that I want to remember I immediately go write it down. I wanted to share a few as of late.....
