First day of school!

First days of school for the kids. Triston is in 4th grade and super excited. Zack will be in 3rd and is getting more excited to meet new friends. Danika is heading to 1st grade. And little miss Mikayla is going to pre school. She will be gone a few hours 3 days a week. So I officially have all 4 kids in school! So crazy. And no I didn't cry today when I dropped her off, but it was really weird. She told me early this morning that she wanted me to stay with her but I told her I couldn't and she was fine. She is a social butterfly just like her big sis.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!! I love being a mother and I love my kids like crazy. Usually on Mother's Day I get Pancakes or something because the kids love to help dad make them, but then I usually end up cleaning it up. Its ok because I know how much they love it, but who likes to clean up right? So yesterday I let it slip that I would love a sausage biscuit (which I usually have on hand in the freezer) for breakfast to Zack. This morning he came in to tell Dad that what I wanted for Breakfast. Chris in thinking Zack was asking if he could have one said yes just go eat ;) I didn't think much about it just laid back down. Then later he brought me in two sausage biscuits!!! Such a sweety. He said " I kept warming them up in the microwave so they wouldn't get cold" Then he gave me my card. Which is one of my all time favorite cards. It's all Zack. And If you know Zack you know he is really obsessed with Pokemon. Here is the card...

 as neat as Mew.

 as cool as Mewtwo (Zack's favorite Pokemon!)

 as sweet as Pikachu.

 as funny as Meoth.

 as clean as Michino (he gave me a lot of funny examples of how clean he is ;) )

AND I am as Awesome as the Lego Movie!

Isn't that awesome! Love my quirky little boy!

and thank you to Chris and the kids for today. I love my Underwater camera and I can't wait to use it. I told the kids I want to find an excuse to go swimming now! And thank you kids for all the cards. Especially Dani and Mikayla who kept bringing me cards all morning and Triston for making me my own official Mother's day rc car ;) Happy Mother's day to all the amazing women in my life and my kids. couldn't survive without you !!

Another Snow Girl!

This time I took Dani out. We stopped at a park by the river on the way home from school. I had so much fun. I LOVE snow pictures! My favorite is the ones of her laughing :)

Snow girl!

Mikayla wanted to go outside today when it finally snowed so I decided to take advantage and take out the camera! Such a silly. She started a snow fight :)

A Boy and his Toys!

Zack can be such a serious little guy. It is fun to just watch him get into whatever he is playing at the time. At this moment in time he had just created a motorcycle dirt track with his Legos. He was inspired by a book we gave them for Christmas full of all kinds of ideas to build with Legos. I was so proud of him because he didn't even have instructions to go by. Just some pictures and he built it all himself and enjoyed it for hours :)

Christmas cookies!

We made christmas cookies! Go us. I didn't actually make these cookies. They were given to us by a girl in the ward but we did decorate them :) And don't mind that most are OOF at least I got them all in a shot. These four were definitely on a sugar high! Miss Mikayla only ate the frosting and sprinkles off her cookie and then wanted to add more.  And Zack of course was enthusiastic about it all and was wearing most of his. The kids never do really want to eat many cookies, they just love the making them process.
