Power Pushup

Big Ross got the Power Pushup, Little Ross couldn't wait to jump in and give it a try. He really looks up to his Daddy and always wants to be doing what he is doing.

Spring has Sprung

Little Ross has really enjoyed the mud. He has also enjoyed getting the dogs into it too.

Painting the body

Everyone must think I am crazy. But one thing I learned in school was is "it is all about the process!" He had so much fun and that is all that really mattered to me. Plus, it kept him from yelling outside at me when it was raining all morning. I should have taken pictures of my floor and his "buckeye" table. They were very colorful too.

Week of fun

So this week was a bundle of fun.

Monday: I got to spend it cleaning the house up with my husband. That Easter Bunny sure left a mess behind. I had three loads of dishes to run through the dishwasher. Thank Goodness for modern technology. I then got to go over to Lisa Sherman's house and sew curtains for Ross' room. It was fun but I sure miss my time with Katie and her teaching me how to sew. The positive note it has taught me to go out of my comfort zone. The other positive I am getting to learn more about other sisters in the ward.

Tuesday: A fun but busy day. My dad brought up Annie's dressers. They are so pretty however someone painted these beautiful antiques!! Now I have no choice but to repaint over them. One day when we have the money I will get them refinished. But I think white dressers will look good in a little girls room.

My dear friend Amber also came up to spend the day with me. It was a lot of fun. We got to go out to lunch and Kohls. That is what I call a fun day out. We also got to go to Sonic during happy hour and get slushies half price. We then came home and we just spent some nice time watching our little ones play. The fun thing is she has an older boy that had a lot of fun wrestling little Ross. I really think my son is going to follow in his fathers footsteps and be a wrestler. I also enjoyed just sitting on the couch while Amber rubbed my belly and talked to Annie. I would have to say there isn't a whole lot of people I would feel comfortable doing that with but hey we have been friends since middle school and have been through a lot together.

Wednesday: Just a fun day at the chorus babysitting. I had some older kids this week because they were on spring break. Lets just say they were more than a joy to have in the classroom. One told me I was the "Superiest Meanest Person Ever!!" I said "Thank You I will take that title with honor. That is why I have my degree in Early Childhood, after five years of age and I am done.

Thursday: What a fun playgroup Delinda!!! I love getting out of the house. The best thing is the only payment is bringing food. That I can do if it will get me out of the house. I would have to say I was the first one there and one of the last ones out. My son was just to excited when I told him we were going to Ben's house. He has never gotten ready so fast. I also loved the fact that the majority of the women brought desserts. By the way Amanda loved your treat.

Friday: Nothing exciting.

Saturday: Was a blast I got to take two dogs to the vet and spend an arm and leg. I know I am crazy who would take two dogs at the same time to the vet while being almost 8 months pregnant me of course. I learned that both the dogs are over weight and fat. And here I thought I wasn't feeding them enough.

I also enjoyed going to Alex's baptism. It was so nice we a perfect seat in the back row. I really enjoyed the talks, The spirit was definitely there. Little Ross loved it too. When we got home he couldn't wait to tell Dadda all about the water. He even laid down on the floor to show what happened to Alex. Looks like I have six years to go until he gets to get in the water with his Daddy. Oh, Kelly I loved the refreshments too.

Sunday: Was a nice day but arent they always.

Pictures from our Easter and outings

This is from the zoo. He loved riding the carousel.

Enjoying a good dish of custard.

Him cheesing for the picture. Look at his big boy tie it should fit him for the next 4 years.

More pictures from Easter

His little dirty hands. He was being camera shy. His pile of Eggs.

Loving the basket too.

Ahh, the sweet taste of chocolate

Happy Easter

Can I just say I love this holiday. The biggest reason is because to me it is one of the most spiritual holidays. Growing up we always got the fun Easter baskets and Easter Egg hunts but I was raised to focus on the real reason for it. To me it is always a renewal in my Faith in Christ. What a wonderful thing He did for me and only He could do it. Now I am excited to raise my son with the same belief. I know right now he is just excited about the Easter Eggs and candy but I cant wait until he truly understands why we celebrate Easter. The day started off so nicely. Ross and I stayed up setting up the house for Little Ross. I even set his little pop up tunnel in the hallway and lined it with Easter eggs. When he came out of his room, his eyes were as big as golf balls. He just kept collecting the eggs and putting them in one big pile. He also enjoyed going through his basket and looking at his fun gardening tools. The only flop was the bubble maker. It didn't do what it was labeled to do and that was blow bubbles. It was upsetting because I was so excited to have a bubble blower. I am taking it back. Church was also nice, I really enjoyed everyone talks. The talks actually held my attention even though my son was completely wired on sugar. After, church we all came home and got to take a short nap. I also had to make my first Easter dinner. This was because Katie and Spencer have been feeding us the dinner since Ross and I have been married. I guess you could say it was a tradition. I almost called Katie and asked her what time dinner was but I didn't want to bother them. I tried to do what they usually did, However, we didn't have Spencer's homemade dinner rolls, mine were store bought. We didn't have the fun jello eggs mine were just squares. I did manage to make deviled eggs by myself and they weren't to bad. Lets just say I missed the Smith Dinner. I don't think I will ever match it.
