Bloggers Block!

I can't think of a decent thing to blog about. Apparently I have bloggers block. It's not that it has been an uneventful week. There are plenty of extremely exciting things to write about. Check out the list. Everyone likes a good list!!!!!

1. Monday - Orthodontist appt. for Zoe. She thought she lost her retainer. We had been searching for days. Right before her appointment I remembered to check the dryer, because that's where any smart kid would keep it. I am truly amazing.

2. Tuesday - Blue and Gold Banquet for Cub Scouts, need I say more.

3. Wednesday - YW Fondue Party!!!

4. Thursday - My visiting teachers came that day. I know what you are all thinking, 3 consecutive days of church activities. Well that's just me, like I said, truly amazing.

5. Friday - The kids went to stay with my parents that night. That might be worth writing about, but I will spare you all.

6. Saturday - Ezra tried on Zoe's Easter dress. Now that's what I really wanted to talk about and maybe even post a picture or two. But for the sake of saving my life, I will not.

That, my friends, is a small bit of my ever exciting life. Maybe next week I can tell you about when I get my visiting teaching done. I know you can't wait!!

Yes, They're Strange!

The sun comes out and something strange happens to my kids. Zoe and Ezra spent the day outside taking funny pictures and making very creative movies. They had a great time while entertaining the neighborhood.

Here comes the sun..........

George Harrison wrote one of the best songs ever. I love the song "Here Comes the Sun". It was written at a time when he felt like winter in England was never going to end, then comes that first bit of Springtime sun and everyone is deserving of it. I love this time of year. Everyone is coming out of hibernation, people are smiling and happy, and all because of a little bit of sun. Yes, Here comes the sun.............do and doo doo. I know you are all singing this with me. Have a great day and keep singing!

Riding the Duck!

Zoe and I went to sunny Seattle last week to visit my sister Stephanie. You may think, sunny Seattle?????? But yes, it was sunny and warm up there the whole time we were there. I believe it was because Zoe and I brought a little bit of happiness to the city with our sunny dispositions. Whatever it was, it was wonderful!

We took a little tour of Seattle on the duck boat/bus. This is a great way to see all the sites of the city with an unbelievably crazy guide. Our bus driver was Helen Wheels, she sang, she danced, and she played with Barbies, while showing us the city. Zoe was so entertained by Helen, I really don't think she saw much of the city. It was my second time on "The Duck" and I think I would go again. And yes, the bus actually goes in the water! Amazing!

Merry Valentines Day!

I am not to sure if it is Christmas or Valentines! I was truly surprised at all the snow we woke up to this morning. Even better was not being able to find the snow shovel and having Ezra tell me it could quite possibly be buried somewhere in the backyard. After kicking the snow around back there and saying a few choice words, I decided to go across the street and steal my neighbors. My neighbors, The Johnson-Ashton Family, are truly tired of me by now because I borrow just about everything from them at any time of the day or night. But all I need to do is make a few cookies and everything is even again. So........... I am off to make some cookies. A Happy Happy Valentines to all my family and friends.

Birthday weekend for "The EZ"

Say goodbye to the single digit! Ezra will be 10 on the 10th. Woo hoo and party on! Ezra has dreaded turning ten, he has made it very clear he does not want to grow up. Ezra is a child that definitely enjoys the life of leisure and knowing that he is getting older with the possibility of more responsibility is killing him. You're still young, Ez. Enjoy life!







Ezra's Motto:
I am here to live life out loud.













He's not afraid to be himself.










Happy Birthday Ezra!
