SuNdAy NaPs ArE tHe BeSt!

Every Sunday our family seems to get the best naps in. Why is this such a great day for napping? I get some of my best sleep on this day! The boys seem to fall asleep without even being asked. Are they just so bored with us all at home doing nothing? I guess. I always crawl in bed with a good book in hopes of reading for hours instead I am out in about 5 and sleep for hours. But I love it. Especially these days! Today both the boys fell asleep pretending to play video games while Dad really was playing. Cody looks so very uncomfortable. I moved him after I got my shot!




Next I have to show off my gLiTtEr ToEs......Mindy, Alyssa and I went last Tuesday for our super cute glitter toes. They are so cool. They are like gel nails or something so they last for months. Perfect for me since I never feel like even doing my nails these days! Too Fun!! Thanks Mind for taking me!

My SwEeT FaMiLy...

We went to my awesome Aunt Peggy & Uncle Larry's home for Easter dinner. We love to go to their home for dinner. We always know it will be soooo good. The kids absolutely love their house too. Cody always wants to know when we are going back. They are so good to us! So before dinner we took some family pics and I feel like we finally got a good one. It seems to be so hard for us to get a picture that turns out. Then my camera died. So I have no other pics from the evening. I need to go and download my moms card.

EaStEr DiPPiNg....

On Sunday morning we dyed our eggs. Cody calls this Ester dipping. The boys were so excited to do this. They were driving Matt & I crazy. I had bought 3 different egg dying kits. Cody had them all open, spread out and get'em all mixed up. After getting it all set up and ready to start we explain to the boys about being very careful. We don't want to spill the dye and make big messes. Right after all that Matt drops his spoon right into the green dye and it spills all over! Go Matt-e! He was just showing them what NOT to do!!! Smart. A visual example always works better then just explaining. Well, we proceeded to not have anymore accidents. Landen and Cody were a little rough with the eggs. There is no such thing as gently lowering the egg into the cup. You just hold it above the cup several inches and let it go! But we had a great time. Matt and I did have to remind ourselves over and over that this is fun, they are just kids, it's okay to be so excited you can't even listen, and it can all be cleaned up later!

i KnOw It HaS bEeN LiKe FoReVeR.......

So I see it has been a few weeks since I have been on here. I just feel like crap all the time. The last thing I want to do is get on the computer. Sorry everyone. I know you all are just dying to find out what I am doing next! Ha! Speaking of dying our rat Roxy passed away Tuesday morning. Causes unknown! Matt and I were still in bed when Cody came running in saying, "Roxy is asleep and wont move but her eyes are open!". We new instantly that she was dead. So that was a little hard for the boys to take. More so for Cody. We really had to explain what happened and that she is now in heaven. He then drew a pic of her and just held it in his lap. It was pretty sad. I felt bad for him. But I am a little relieved to have her gone. Now that I am preggos I really did not like taking care of her. Afraid of all the germs and stuff like that.In memory of Roxy!


Well we also finally celebrated my birthday and Landen's Birthday with my family. Only a month later. So I got to make the Bob the Builder cake. That was so fun. I love making cakes. Tye and Roberta were in town too. So we had a big ol' bash!!!!



Then about two weeks ago my Dad came in town to visit. That was very fun. Except the the whole carpet job ordeal with Trevor. I am not going into that. Let's just say it sucked and all I did was stand around and cheer all the guys on. Cody loved working with them he wanted to go back the next day to help them finish up! This is Landen working hard. I guess I did not get any pics of Cody with my camera. I know I have some on my phone but I haven't downloaded those yet!
The same weekend was Justin's Birthday. That is Matt's youngest brother. So we had Swedish pancakes for dinner with my Dad, Trevor, Shari, Thaxton, and Justin. Then a nasty store bought cake. I was making him one but it didn't cook well and I didn't have time to redo it.


Those last two pics are my Dad and Cody having a wrestleing match. Then Cody was showing us some sweet moves! Heck yes!

CoDy'S CrEaTiOn....

I was making dinner and Cody wanted to make something too. He drew on some paper what he wanted to "create". He always draws out his plans first. Then told me he needed a BIG bowl, whip cream and a banana. We didn't have any but our kind neighbor gave him one. I asked him what he was planning to create and he told me it was a banana split. So I get him a little bowl of ice cream. He is cutting up the banana in the big bowl that I did not see him doing. I did not want him too get another bowl out. So we got all the bananas he cut up put them on the ice cream. He added the whip cream, sprinkles and strawberry syrup on top. It turned out great. I didn't even know he knew what a banana split was. He was very proud of his "creation".

SnEaK pEek.....

Okay, So I know you can not see much. But to me this ultrasound picture means everything! I was so excited to see that little blob. Now I can have some peace of mind. My blood count has been going up continually but a heartbeat is even better. It was the sweetest sound. I wanted to cry. But I was too happy! So next I go to the doctor on the 12Th and then to genetic counseling. I am doing everything in my power to keep this pregnancy healthy. So let's all just keep praying for this little babe!

MaTt ThE cRiMiNaL....

So Saturday night Matt and I dropped the kids off at my mom's house in Provo. The kids are still a little sick so we promised we would not be long. We just wanted to get a bite to eat alone! We headed to Chili's and arrived to see the parking lot full. So we went on to our next place of choice, Red Robin. That was even worse. It was only 5:30 in the evening we thought we were so smart getting out there early. We forgot we are in Provo and everyone else who has little kids had the same idea. So onto TGIF's we went. Now going on 6pm we were at a stoplight at University and University in Provo. The light turned green and we get pulled over???? So we stop and the officer tells us that our light over our plates is flickering on and off and that is the only reason he stopped us. He took Matt's I.D. and our registration and you know. Tells us he will be right back and we will be on our way. So about 10 min. passes and then a back up car arrives. They come up the Matt tell him to step out of the vehicle and proceed to pat him down and handcuff him. WhAt!!!! I am freaking out. I call my Mom. I don't know what else to do. The other officer that had just arrived tells me that Matt has a warrant out for his arrest. I swear to them that they are wrong. They have the wrong guy. He tells me to sit tight and they will see. So about 30 min. goes by. Matt is handcuffed in the back of the squad car. I am my car sick to my stomach. They finally let him go. The warrant is for destruction of a communication device out of Davis County from 2004. We didn't even live here. The warrant had no description of what the guy looked like. Just all of Matt's info. So they let him go because they could not prove it was him. So we got to go. Oh, and the officer touches the light over our plates and some dirt falls off. The light works just fine. It was just dirty. Sweet! We are now so sick to our stomachs but still decide to go eat since that is what we wanted to do. We got back to my mom's around 8:30 or so. So much for being quick. Now we have to try and get this all cleared up and so far has not been easy. No one in Davis County seems to know what to do. Matt just keeps getting passed around between the D.A. and the justice court. So pretty fun huh!
