What a week

I am quite bugged right now. I have some pictures on my cell phone that I can't get off!!! It won't let me email them and so far I can't download them to the computer. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. It's a Motorola Razr.

The reason I'm so bugged is because Little Man had his first major accident on Wednesday. He had to get 5 staples in his head. He fell off the back of his chair in the kitchen and hit his head on the edge of the railing. I was supposed to be heading out for my SLCC class, but I didn't want to leave Jeff alone to handle everything, so I cancelled class. We ran out of the house without anything-Jeff's cell phone, camera, etc. All we were left with is my cursed phone. Little man was very brave. They put some numbing cream on when we first got to the Instacare. Once the Dr. looked at it he decided he needed to deaden it with a shot. I was trying to be up close to Little man so I could comfort him, but the more I watched, the more nauseated I became. When they did the actual staples, Jeff and I traded places and I stayed at his feet. I would rather have been in Little man's place having it done to me, than to watch him go through it. It was quite the night.

Anyway, hopefully I will get this figured out and I'll post some pictures.

Easter Festivities

I love Easter. Holidays are so much more fun with kids. We had a great time today.

The kids had fun with their Easter baskets this morning. Jeff and I had each got them a few things separately. It was fun to see what Jeff picked out for them. He's a good little shopper. The boys of course loved it. The first sugar high ended 3/4 of the way through sacrament meeting. Big man just laid on my lap kind of in a daze. They were revved up again later in the afternoon when we went to Grandma & Papa Snells for their Easter egg hunt.

Each grandchild had a certain type of egg to look for. This helped eliminate the mad rush for finding eggs. There were an equal number of each egg. It worked out well. Good thinking Grandma & Grandpa.

The egg hunt was not just for kids this year. Grandma & Grandpa and all the kids surprised the parents by having an Easter egg hunt for us. We too had a specific color to find. Our eggs were filled with something much better than candy :) Big man was in charge of the camera while mom and dad hunted eggs. He did rather well.

What a nut !!!

More of the festivities.

As the kids went to bed tonight I asked them what their favorite new thing was. Big man was quite excited to have a new Mario figurine. Little man liked the money he found in a few of his eggs. What a nut. I guess that's as good as his favorite Christmas present being pajamas.

Besides the candy, toys, egg hunts, fun with family, etc. I love that Easter represents new birth and the opportunity we have to partake of the Savior's gift to each of us.

Easter here we come

I finally took some new pictures tonight. Baby H is getting so big. She is really into playing with things. All toys (and tags) go straight to her mouth. She was entertaining herself tonight while the rest of us colored Easter eggs. It was quite the family adventure.

Big man has been so excited for Easter for weeks now. Every time it snows he groans, saying that we can't have Easter. I keep telling him that even if we have to have it inside, we'll have it. We'd never colored Easter eggs as a family before. The boys had a great time. There were only a few casualties overall. Not too bad.

What a couple of nuts. Getting them to cooperate for a picture is next to impossible. I'm not quite sure why Little man is half naked. You never know with him.

It's a Success

Baby H got her tubes on Wednesday morning. It went really well. We had to be at the surgical center at 6:30 a.m. and she couldn't eat for 6 hours before that. She woke up a few times in the night wanting a snack, but she went right back to sleep when she realized mom wasn't giving in. She was very wide awake and happy at 6:00 a.m. She talked and made noise the whole drive there. She was definitely happier than I was at that hour. The Dr. said there was lots of fluid in both ears, so she should be able to hear better now. If you heard how loud her brothers are you may opt for the fluid :) She came out of the anesthesia just great and was really mellow all morning long. I don't think it could've gone any better. The surgical center and Dr.'s office have both called today to check up on her. I thought that was nice. She's doing great.

Here we go again...

Baby H has her FOURTH ear infection. The good news is that she's getting tubes next Wednesday. The boys never had tubes, so it will be a new experience for us. I'm just hoping for a happier baby. She's so cute and happy when she feels good.

In other news, Big Man got to have a sleepover at Grandma Susie's house this week. He had a great time. It was also nice to have some one-on-one time with Little Man. He was so enjoyable when he got all the attention from Mom and Dad. I didn't realize how much those two little dudes fight until they weren't around each other for a day. It was so peaceful. They've been making up for lost time ever since.

Tonight is the last night for my online classes. I am looking forward to a week and a half break. I love being able to work from home, but I'm also looking forward to getting some projects done that have been put on the backburner.

Hurry up Spring...

I am so anxious for Spring to get here. Yesterday I even let the boys wear their new Easter outfits. They looked pretty adorable. Baby H looked cute even though her dress looked like it should be for Christmas. She has so many dresses that I couldn't bring myself to buy her a new Easter one. Of the 8 pictures I took this is the best one :) It was tricky trying to get all three to look, smile, Little Man to put his treat down, etc. (and no that's not pee on his leg-it's the angle)

In other news, this weekend was divided into "girls day" and "boys day" on Saturday. Jeff and the boys went down South with my Brother and nephew. They were scouting out the area they will be turkey hunting. They left at 5:30 in the morning and didn't get back until 6 or so at night. It was a full day, but they all had a blast. Me and Baby H ran a ton of errands in the morning and went shopping and to dinner in the afternoon. We went with Jeff's sister and her baby. We went up to the outlets in Park City and then to dinner at Spaghetti Factory-yum. We found some great deals and had a good time.

Happy St. Patty's Day

Big man has been asking me for weeks to sew him a shirt for St. Patrick's Day. He was worried that he didn't have any green shirts. He has plenty of camo though, so he was just fine. He looked pretty handsome for preschool. Little man has matching camo so he wore that today as well. Whenever I ask him to smile he just raises his eyebrows. He's such a nut.
