All they do is play

My kids only want to play and eat treats. I can't get either of them to get a job or pull their weight around the house like load the dishwasher or change the oil in my car. Am I the only one with slacker toddlers or what???

Cheep Cheep Chirp

The eggs in the nest on our front door hatched and now we have 3 little birds chirping away in their nest. Sometimes if we leave the door open too long they will fall/fly into our house and Bret has to escort them back to their nest. They are adorable but I'm not to fond of the wall of poo they dispersed around the nest. Sick.

Colorful Prophets

I thought it was kind of touching that Bret planned some activities for the kids to do during conference. It was adorable to hear them try and pronounce all of their names and perk up during each speaker at the sound of topics they are familiar with like FHE. He can be such a tender dad and our kids will be blessed because of it.

Look how cute these paper figures turned out that the kids made. So adorable!

What color is my thumb, you ask?

So, I've been spending some time in the backyard lately. It's been fun to watch our little garden grow. We've got lettuce, romaine lettuce, green onions, spinach, cilantro, and basil. I just planted tomatoes and squash for the summer. Kingston helped me count out 5 squash seeds for each mound. We've been eating a lot of salads with some grilled chicken, strawberries, pears, feta cheese, of course mixed in with all the stuff from the garden. Yesterday I planted the 3 rose trees. Yes, rose trees not rose bushes. Apparently there is a difference. I must say I'm pretty proud of it, especially since the whole backyard was dirt when we moved in. With the cool weather we've been having it's nice to play with the kids in the yard.


This rose tree above has 20 (yes I counted them all) rose buds either in bloom or on the way. Both Becki and I have stopped to smell the roses a few times. ;)

I wish the grass would stay this lush green all year round. Soon the heat will kill it and bring on the rough bermuda stuff.

I'm not a witch, I'm your wife!

Oiy, this week has been rough. Life is fantastic and the kids have been great and business is starting to flow nicely now... I on the other hand have felt like Charlie Sheen this week. All sorts of crazy going on up in here. The universe has got me in a choke hold that's for certain bc we are not at one with another at the moment. My poor, pooooor husband. The man could probably use a man date or something that will get him away from me. I'm sure he's realized by now to walk softly stranger bc this girl is a landmine ready to explode and take out whatever appendages I can if I feel like it. Or I might turn into a puddle of tears or a bag of disdain and negativity. He just can't win this week and he knows it. I feel like I've been poisoned or something and I just need to let it run it's course but it could be a side effect from the hormones and junk I had in me. Who knows, I am just anxious to get back to the old me. In the mean time I hope the poor man will forgive me and hang in there.
