St. Patrick's Day

We love St. Patrick's Day around our house!

For breakfast, I made green strawberry muffins.  For lunch we ate green sandwiches in a clover shape.  And I made a green cake for dessert.

Konnor (2 1/2yrs.)  Loved wearing my Leprechaun hat!

 

Kaylee posing just after school!  I put 3 green bows in her hair, made her that green bracelet, and went into her Kindergarten class for her St. Patrick's Day party!  I wore the hat that Konnor is wearing above!  Lets just say, I was a BIG HIT with her classmates!  ha ha

 

Here is sweet Kase (almost 6 mon) 

Below:  Is A little Shamrock craft I did!  Super easy too!

 

Below is a wood craft I did with my friend Maryanne.  I think it turned out pretty cute.  Even for me!

Rough-Housin!

Ok, so there is a primary song that describes life in our house around 3:30 everyday.  

"I'm so glad when daddy comes home, glad as I can be! Clap my hands and shout for joy then climb upon his knee. Put my arms around his neck and hug him tight like this, Pat his cheeks then give him what?  A great big Kiss!"

Everyday, when Kyle gets home from work, we are all so excited.  We have a few traditions for daddy's arrival.  The kids and I either hide from dad and make him go find us, or we tackle him with hugs.  And my personal favorite is hearing the kids yell... "DADDY!  CHASE US!"  So here are some pics of a completed chase.  The moment dad catches them, they get tickled to death.   If you can't tell, both Kaylee and Konnor are laughing so hard they can barely breathe!

 

We sure love this guy we call "Daddy" and "Husband"!

Baby Kase

 

Baby Kase is no 5 1/2 months old, and developing such a cute personality!  He loves to watch his older siblings.  He is starting to really play with toys, and suck on his toes!  ha ha.  He is a little flirt, and for the most part is ALWAYS smiling!  I sure love him!  I love this pic of him below sucking on an airplane!  He is so funny!

Happy 7 Years!

 7 Years ago (Feb. 12th) I married the man of my dreams!

 

We were married in the Manti LDS Temple.  It was -12 degrees when we took pics that morning.  YES that would be NEGATIVE!   But the snow was beautiful and so was the sealing.  

Every year we have done something random.   We went to Vegas one year, stayed in the Grand America in SLC a couple of times, we went to a murder mystery dinner last year.  But since I am still nursing Kase, we couldn't be gone for long unless we brought him with.

So, this year we decided to keep things simple for our anniversary.  Kyle let me pick where we would go to dinner.  And since I was craving seafood, I figured it was a natural decision.  

We went to Market Street Grill in South Jordan.  YUM!

Thanks to Grandma Kathie and Grandpa Paul for watching the 3 little ones for us!  

 Since it was just the two of us.  We took each others pics ha ha.

 Then we got  our waitress to take one of the both of us.

 We both ordered Lobster tail and a half rack of ribs!  WAY YUMMY! 

Kyle got me a beautiful picture from Robert Boyd.  And I got him a new suit.  (we went shopping for his suit before we went to dinner.  ALONE!  and it was bliss!)

I am SO thankful for the past 7 years!  The life we have created together is more than I could have ever imagined!  I love you Kyle with all of my heart!  Thank you for who you are, the past 7 years, and our entire future together! 

Happy Boy

Ok, So this is going to be somewhat of a random post.  FYI
Konnor and Kyle usually go out and do "manly things" together.  (Especially in the good weather months.)  Kyle will take Konnor on the 4-wheeler or on a mechanics adventure in the garage.  But since it is Feb. it has been a while since they had a manly one on one.  But today, something really sweet happened.  Konnor kept wanting fruit snacks.  And Kyle realized we all were hungry.  Kyle and I have head colds and were not up to cooking.  So, Kyle decided to go get Pizza, which is Konnors favorite thing to eat!  Konnor started giggling when he heard that dad was getting pizza.  And then Kyle asked Konnor if he wanted to go with him to pick it up. -Just the two of them.  Kyle told him to go upstairs and get shoes on.  So, I helped him upstairs and got him socks and shoes.  I asked him, "So, are you excited to go with daddy to get pizza?"  His response was priceless!  He was so happy he started to cry and said, "yes!!!!  I love daddy and I get go wiff him all by myseff to get pizza!"  Konnor (2 1/2years old) was crying tears of joy to be with his daddy!  That was sooooo sweet!

Takin Care of Business

Kaylee is in the restroom going poop, and I can hear her from the living room.  She is singing one of the songs our band plays.  The song is "TAKIN CARE OF BUSINESS" by: BTO
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

She has NO idea Kyle and I are laughing at the irony!

I love her!

Tooth Fairy Came!

A couple of weeks ago, Kaylee told me that she has 2 loose teeth.  I thought to myself, "Already?  Really?  I thought that wasn't for another year."  But I looked in that cute little mouth of hers, and sure enough, both her bottom middle teeth were wiggly!  And then it only took 2 days for one of them to fall out!  This is a silly pic of us, but you can see her missing tooth pretty good. 
THE STORY:  We were eating lunch before Kindergarten, and she nervously said, "I don't want to swallow it."  I tried my best to comfort her 5year old sincere fear.  Then we were getting her jacket, and the boys in the truck, and she said, "MOM!  Come quick, it FELL OUT!"  I went into the bathroom and she was standing over our rug with a wide second position and hunched over.  She told me that her tongue pushed it out.  It landed on the carpet and she didn't want to touch it.  ha ha.  We were so excited, we called Dad at work, and all of her grandparents!  That night she put her tooth in a velvet jewelry box beside her pillow! The tooth fairy came and taped 4 quarters inside the pretty box.  And when she woke up that morning, she came running to find me, and said, "Mom!  The tooth fairy came!  She gave me 4 coins!"  I told her that we could go to the dollar store and she could buy whatever she wanted!  She quickly responded, "Lets go NOW!"  I said, "Honey we cant go right now, the store isn't even open yet.  It is only 7am!"  My witty daughter replied, "Well, lets go to Walmart then, they are always open!"
