Spring Break 2015!

Spring Break this was a lot of fun!  And soooo needed!  It was wonderful to sleep in until 7-7:30 every morning.  So so wonderful!  But there's something to be said about a schedule and routine.  I get so much more accomplished when I have to get the boys up and ready so Jackson can get to school on time.  Plus, we get to spend the morning with Jim when we all get up early. ...but sleeping in a little was so nice.

Here's some of the fun we had during our spring break:

Monday was kind of a loss because the boys were acting a little crazy and I was very tempted to sell them all to the highest bidder on Ebay, so we won't talk anymore about Monday...

Tuesday:
First, it was St Patrick's Day.  The boys were so stoked for St Patrick's day for the chance to pinch people who weren't wearing green.  They're a sadistic bunch.


The Science Spectrum!
The boys hadn't been in awhile, so we let them loose to play and explore.



I completely forgot that they have a little area set aside for little crawlers until the last 20 minutes or so that we were in the preschool area.  Harrison LOVED all the fun stuff at his level.


Wednesday:
Happy Birthday, Austin!  Wednesday we celebrated Austin's birthday and the boys spent the night at grandma's. See Austin's 4th birthday here.

One of Austin's gifts was a little Mickey piano that came with some books.  However, Harrison has decided that the piano is his and often finds the piano and takes it over.



Thursday:
Thursday was a beautiful day!  It was a perfect day for the park!
First, the boys fed the ducks, but apparently the ducks were well fed during spring break because they weren't very hungry.  They kind of ignored us.


It was a big day for Harrison because he got to swing for the first time.  He is the first of my boys not to freak out on the swings for the first time!  He loved that swing!  He might be my first brave child yet.



After playing on this slide for awhile, Austin's hair got a bit static-y.  So cute!


Friday:
Friday was a good day for a craft.  The boys made these cute little bunnies.


Spring Break 2015 was relaxing and fun!  It was a nice little stay-cation.

Easter 2012

This year we had our big family Easter dinner on Friday because Grandma had to work on Sunday. I tried out a new recipe for dessert which I found on Pinterest (of course). It's a super rich chocolate brownie cake. It turned out great, but was a little too rich for my taste. However, I really think that if you are a true die-hard chocolate lover then you will LOVE this recipe . I thought I was a true die-hard chocolate lover, but this cake beat me. A good friend of mine makes Easter cupcakes with her kids every year. I saw them on her blog last year and I thought they were so cute! This year we made them at our house to hand out to our neighbors. Jackson helped with the baking and decorating. He has some mad grass and egg decorating skills! He also decorated the plates that we handed out the cupcakes on. Our neighbors were quite impressed with his work. For some reason I still get these little momentary realizations that I'm a mother of two, and I get this rush of emo...

BABY NUFFER #2 is on his/her way!!!!

That's right, we were waiting to tell everyone, but today we had our second appointment and the second sono and Baby Nuffer #2 is doing well. Most of you know that we had a miscarriage in June after struggling with infertility, it was a very devastating time for us. We were "advised" to wait a couple cycles before trying again (and we were going to take the advice), but a little voice, I know now it was the Spirit, told me we should try again as soon as possible. I talked to Jim and he agreed and sure enough baby #2 is on it's way again! This little one is very healthy and has a strong heartbeat!! We aren't out of the woods yet, I'm just under 9 weeks and at 12 weeks our chances of miscarriage drop significantly. I don't feel we'll be out of the woods until I have our little baby in my arms, which will only give me a whole new set of stresses to worry about. ;) This is Baby Nuffer #2 at 6 weeks and 5 days. If you look close it's off to the ...

George Albert Smith challenge

Last Sunday we started the new lesson book in Relief Society over President George Albert Smith. I was really impressed by the 11 "ideals" that make up his personal creed. You can read each of the 11 ideals from his personal creed here . I wish I could say that I am already living ALL 11 ideals, but that's not the case. So I'm challenging myself to take one ideal a month which will take me through November and honor that ideal by living it somehow (it will vary each month with each ideal). I will try very hard to do something representing all 11 ideals in the month of December. I will update the blog each month with whatever good deed or service project I have come up with for each month's creed. Writing about my monthly challenges is not to be boastful or prideful, but rather to ensure that I follow through with my challenge. You are welcome to take the same challenge. I would LOVE to hear about how you live each creed! January's creed: "I will...
