Sassy Poo


I have posted several pictures as of late of the beautiful Sassafrass!!! The reason being that she will sit and do whatever and doesn't care that I have a camera out snapping pictures of it. The boys are beginning a campaign against photographers everywhere.... Who knew. Anyways, back to the subject... SASSY. She's a pretty little red-head who deserves a shout out today. She is a really hard working student. She works hard at almost everything.... Her room being the exception. She is a beauty to me and she has her Daddy wrapped around her finger.

Split Pea Soup!!!

Weird title I know.... But what exactly does this mean?
Well, for me it means a few things.
First, I've never actually eaten the stuff.
It looks like a really bad nasty baby poo diaper... so being a Mother that doesn't appeal to me whatsoever.
Second, to me it smells horendous.
Third, I am scared to try something that looks and smells yucky.
Fourth, Life is like Split Pea Soup....... sometimes.
It can look and smell ugly and we can be very affraid to try.
It can be in the form of many different battles.
We can be facing tragedy,death,new love, money issues, friend betrail,parenthood, depression and lonliness.
I often find myself in this very state of yuck. I don't mean to. I feel like sometimes more often than not this past couple of years life just gets too ugly and messy. (Split Pea Soup.) So from now on when I say my day was like split pea soup you'll know what I mean.

Cherry Blossoms...




I have tried now 5 times to upload these pictures and for some darn reason blogger doesn't like them. But with much love here are my weeping cherry tree blossoms. They are just my favorite little things. The tree is just a beauty too. We've had several people ask us about what kind of tree it is.

Lego Man!!!!







so earlier this week the boys and hubs were playing legos..... Then it became bedtime. The boys went to sleep and the Hubs continued on ... and on... and on...
This is the masterpiece.
460 legos!
If you look closely at the building you will notice that it v's out with matching colors.
(This guy had too much time on his hands the other night.)
So here he is in all his glory. (And yes, when I took these pictures I knew full well they'd be on our blog.)

So FAR!

So Far This month I've ......
*Taken 444 pictures of my family life and plain old stuff... Some of the photo's I think are my best ever by a long shot.
(Not including a project for church.)
*Drank 2 12 packs of Cherry Coke.
(I know friends that's very, very sad.)
*Designed a new necklace.
*Watched my husband make a lego house
well into the night after my rug rats went to bed.
*Dreamed of going on a vacation where I'm only required to
sleep and eat.
* Listened to uplifting speakers for 2 days.
*Watched as everyone else's yards are turning green and have to wait about a month more for mine to...
(Really weird it took a little bit longer last year too.)
*Realized that
I haven't purchased
any scrapbooking supplies

for over a year...If you know me and my room you'd be soooo proud. The digital era has been good for me.
I do love to paper scrap still too.I just have been using what I have.
*I have eaten more candy in this month than any other. I love EASTER candy.
* Watched my children eat and eat and eat and eat. They must be in a growth spurt because they are constantly hungry.
*Listened to the constant complaint of
why we have do we have to come in now?.....
*Think that there will be no clean house for the next few months as I will be outside with children who don't wanna come in.

WICKED + Sassy Strikes Beauty Again!!!








I went to WICKED with my sister on Saturday.... Let me just say AMAZING!!!!!! I loved it. I love the music, the costumes and the amazing talent they had. I want to tell my sister how awesome she is for taking me. She called me last week and asked me if I'd like to go with her....
Do frogs bump their butts when the hop????? I am sooo glad she picked me to go with her.
When we were walking back to the car I noticed this "spot" and new it would be a new location for pictures. I'm thinking the next place to do my family pictures. I wanted to try it out on someone first so I picked Sass to for my trial.... and she looks awesome.

I looked out the window and what did I see....












Apricot Blossoms...Popping! I love these pictures I took yesterday. Easter is one of my beloved favorite holidays. I love the candy. I love the egg hunts. I love giddy children. I love the new freshness of spring, but most of all I love the knowledge of having a beloved brother who gave his life for me and all my imperfections. I love that I have the knowledge that he arose and was ressurected. That he lives.

The Question???

Two Sunday's ago in Y.W. we had a lesson on Conference. My friend gave a great lesson and at the end we were each challenged to write down 3 questions we had about life and watch conference to get the answers.
I followed this but I wrote down 5.
4 out of the 5 questions were answered in the first session. The last was answered in the morning session on Sunday. I was amazed. I know my prayers are being heard. It's amazing how every conference there is something geared towards my specific needs at the time.

April Fool....SSSSS

Well we have many jokers in our home who love April Fools Day.
Me, the Mother not so much!
I guess I ruined my joke by not going into my bathroom off of my master suite yesterday morning to bounce of the celephane covered doorway... via my Hubs.
Then, because it didn't work on me he did it to Boo and it worked so the poor little guy had to crawl under the doorway when he woke up.
Next, my Gus boy wanted toast for breakfast. I made the toast and put sugar on it. My hubs and sassy were laughing really hard so I thought they were about to play a joke on me. I handed Gus his toast and the asked them what they did to me and turned in time to see my poor boy take a bite out of SALTED TOAST. The sugar had been switched. He started to cry and rub his tounge with his hands.
My Mother-In-Law was also duped with salt in a big bowl of cereal.
My Sassy got her room toilet papered with 10 key rolls.
(Yes they were used and you should see the massed amounts my husband has been saving!)
I took a picture of Sass' room but I'm too lazy today to download it. It seems to me all I have been doing lately is staring at a computer editing photo's and my brain is mush right now.... So maybe at a later date this week I'll post the picture of her room.

One of My Favorites....

I sent an e-mail out a few weeks ago that I was forwarded.... I love this! It's really cute!
