Wow it is in the 70's...It is HOT

Well last Sat. we were in the 70's and the kids were "sweating" so the neighbors put on the sprinklers and the kids had a blast, the crazy thing was the Saturday before we were still wearing winter coats and jackets, the heat was still on the house and everything was still twigs and brown.










It is amazing how fast spring gets here, just over the weekend I have watched all of my plants come to life, little buds are now full bloom and my tulips are peeking through...I see some purple, I am so excited for that. I planted 100 tulip bulbs last year and about 75% of them have broke through the surface. ..but not all faired so well. I was watching Jake run through the walkway and I said, "Jake, watch for my flowers." He replies, "Mom, I am so sorry. I didn't know they were flowers. I thought they were weeds so I have been stomping on them (that is the ugly picture)." Well spring is beautiful. I think that it is my favorite time of year, new growth, new beginnings, clean air...all is beautiful.

Preston gets a Mohawk

Well it is that time of year...SPRING! Time for haircuts. Hayden prefers a BUZZ that way he doesn't have to do it. Preston liked the idea...so that is what I started, and then I realized I had given him a mohwak, so I greased it up with kitchen soap...(with all intentions of cutting it off) and sent him outside to show Geoff. Well Preston loved it, so I trimmed it down a bit and said he could keep it for a few days and then we will have to cut it off. He loves it and him hamming it up. I know...I am crazy.

Backyard or Bust

Well it is spring and for 2 years we have said we were going to try to clear out the woods behind our house...well cause part of it is actually or property, we have 3/4 acre but about 1/4 acre is in the woods, down in a gully. We hope to clear it out and get some grass and make it into a hill. It is a lot more than we thought....and I am sure there will be some expenses that we may or may not be able to handle...for one we need some fill. But we will see what happens, hopefully I have some more pictures to update with in the next few weeks.

And Pink WINS it....

Okay so it was amazing and as my friends and I sat around eating pizza, and Boston cream pie we were so excited. The whole show was great....can't believe Bernie beat Mark by 1 pound. Way to go I mean Mark won every other competition, or so it seems.

And Ali, well she looked simple amazing. I must admit I was nervous when I found out that America picked Roger, I mean he looked great, and then when I saw his percentage......but the girl did it....not only did she win, but she had the greatest percentage of weight loss out of everyone. I love this show.....maybe this time I will be motivated.

GO PINK!!!!! I am so excited. I love it.

And the Biggest Loser is.....

For Linda, a thought on The Biggest Loser...and since we know that I have been working really hard to get me a spot on this show....(I think another 20 lbs should do it). Ali will kick some butt...I have already crunched the numbers and the only way that I think she might not win is if Roger goes up against her, but with all my intense research I have done it will be Mark, and since Ali and Mark have both lost so much weight and I dont think they can loose much more it will be close but Ali can take him. I am very exicted for the finale tonight.

Pink Rules!

American Idol

Well I have been hooked on American Idol since season 1......I have to agree there are a lot of talent this season. Although we still have 7 potential Idols left...I predict Both Davids, Jason and Brooke in the final 4. Although many polls have Archuleta taking it I think that the others still have time to step up and WOW us all.

And in case you are wondering I am a Brooke fan!

OHHHHH Gross

Well we have a lot to say about Chandler lately. He has had a cavity for over a year now, the dentist keeps watching it because it is a baby tooth. About a month ago that tooth cracked and for the last few days he has been complaining about it. I took him to the Dentist yesterday and they pulled the tooth. It was gross. They showed me the hole it left....way Gross. I already knew the tooth looked bad because I had looked in his mouth and that is why I knew I had to take him to the Dentist. I decided this is a great way to show children why they should brush their teeth. The good news is the rest of Chandler's teeth are great.

Oh so we pull the tooth and as soon as it is out I remember that Chandler's school play is that night and he has speaking lines and a few song solos. We gave him ibuprofen and he did great. This morning he woke up with his head hurting and a big red bump, a tick burrowing into his head. GROSS again.

Who's Kids are These?

Hayden came downstairs the other day....It was like an 80's flashback to Saturday Night Live, I can't remember their names, but I do remember the 2 guys dressed in sweat suits flexing their muscles. This is totally a Hayden thing to do.

These are pictures of Chandler from Crazy Feet Day at school. At Karigon only the fifth graders particpate in Spirit Day. Each Thursday is a different theme. Chandler usually forgets but his friend Jonah helps him out, like on Crazy Hair day he brought rubber bands on the bus and when it was cowboy day he brought Chan his sisters boots, but this day Chandler remembered. He wore my valentine toe socks and my pink high heels. He was a hit. He definetely is not shy....and likes to be noticed.
