Wise Words

 
Day 2 of my new attitude...
I love this! Words that will never lead you astray. 
If Pres. Hinckley said it, it has to be true.
Happy Friday! It's going to be a good day.

Feeling Good!

 
 I don't know what it is about today but seriously something has switched in my head. I think it has finally clicked Matt is almost done! Good news is coming and I am feeling excited. I have prayed so hard for some positive vibes and right now I am feeling it.
I am always complaining lately and I felt I would share my good vibes for once in a very long time. I hope you all have a very good day! 
Stay tuned.... Good things are coming!! I can't wait to tell you.....

Easter

The first sign that the Easter bunny has been to our house is always the poop on the floor. Manning discovered that the poop tasted just like marshmellows.
All this candy and he's eating the bunny poop.
Mattix was totally disgusted by the mess on the floor.
Mason read the Easter bunny's letter to the boys all by himself.
Everyone found their baskets but Mason. He just couldn't find it.
"I keep following the poop and it leads me here. I can't find it anywhere!"
Daddy saved the day and helped him find where that bunny hid it. Tricky, tricky it was in the oven?
It was worth the wait. Look at all this stuff!
They had to check outside to see if the bunny was anywhere to be seen.

Cool Like Daddy

Our idea of the perfect day... Playing with Daddy ALL day!
Look what I can do!!
Dunking like Daddy.
Football next???

Meet Jack... a.k.a. Mason

The Kindergartener's at Mason's school have been learning nursery rhymes all year. All the kids got to pick their favorite nursery rhyme and present it at their "Mother Goose Museum." They painted back drops and dressed up. It was so cute. Mason was so excited, he picked Jack and Jill and had it memorized. We found some overalls and pail at the DI that we painted. He was set.
So this is how it was supposed to work. Every kid had a rhyme with a backdrop. And they were supposed to stand by their backdrop like a statue until someone came along and pushed that red button on their shirt. Than they come to life and say their rhyme and go back to statue.
There was one set back that day, he didn't know that there was a little girl in the other class that had picked Jack and Jill also. (A GIRL!) I guess I never realized how anti-girl my child is. He refused to stand next to her. And the girl had it all planned out, she wanted Mason to say the rhyme with her at the same time. He was not having it. He stood there and only talked if someone pushed his button. She even tried to hold his hand. He flipped. And there was even some tears. It was a mess. But I finally convinced him that he didn't have to do it with her and only had to do it when his button was pushed. So he stayed as far away from her as he could.
See that face? "Mooooommmm do I have to stand by her? I don't want too!"
I love it. I hope girls keep their cooties for a few more years.

No Gutter Balls... All Smiles

Matt has been wanting to take the boys up to the U ever from the first day he started there. He has been talking about all the cool things there is to do. They even have their own bowling alley on campus and during the day it's $1 per person a game. So last Friday we had nothing to do on our agenda so we took a trip up there and played all day. The boys loved seeing "Daddy's school."
Bumper lanes and the bowling ramp. The boys had a blast.
Dani LOVED the hand blower. Which kept her entertained and out of trouble. :)
Mattix being the Wii pro at bowling was very into real bowling. He was even pretty good at it.
Mason was the only one that fit into the smallest size of bowling shoes. But he and Mattix kept taking turns wearing them. It helped them bowl better.

Manning was so good. I was a little worried. He can be a bit naughty sometimes. But with so much going on and brothers to cheer for he was such a good boy and had a good time.

No trip to the U would be complete without a trip to the bookstore. We could do some $$$ damage in that store. So many cool things to buy!
We are so proud of our daddy and our U of U heritage. I am so excited for Matt to graduate next month. He amazes me!
