Poop on Walmart!!

Sometimes there are the days you go to Walmart and when you are finished you have to ask "Why did I choose to go there?". Today was that day! I got up early in the morning and had a lot to do before kindergarten got out. So I ran my errands and had to do some major grocery shopping. I had Lincoln and Liz with me and they were actually really good. However I went to check out, my cart so full things were spilling over the sides, and what did I find?? There were 2 express lanes open(I was definately not a candidate for that) and 2 other checkstands were open, IN THE WHOLE STORE. To top it off, my guy(employee) at my checkstand happened to be about 80 years old, and he wanted to talk about each of my items, I wanted to tell him to zip it and speed up. He also double bagged every single bag, are we not trying to save the world, and he asked me "how I made out",WHAT?? No I do not want to make out with you old man. From the time I got into the line until I had paid, it was 24 minutes. Honestly! I am sorry to complain so much, but I know everyone feels the same way as me when it comes to checking out at the store. Right?

Lincoln Rides A Bike

Last week Lincoln decided he wanted to try riding his bike without training wheels. So Jeff took them off and he took off down the road, he never even crashed. He is still only 2 years old. It is really cute to see his little legs peddling so fast. He is pretty amazing.

Good Times!

I was looking through some photos and I found this one and I thought it was so cute and I knew it should be there on my blog. I had someone recently ask me to fill out a "survey" type thing on my blog, but I decided to switch it up a little. We made some books in young womans a while ago called the All about me books. So here is what I will do... Ya list 5 things you love and then 5 things you don't love. Anyone who thinks this would make a fun blog entry for them is welcome to do this too...
5 things I love
1. My family! That is why I had to have this cute picture on the page.
2. My house: Some people live in cardboard boxes, so even though I hate my diamond carpet, I love having a roof over my head.
3. Girls night out: Can you really ever laugh as hard as when you are with a bunch of giggling girls?
4. Public School: Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with my kids, but I also love that I can send them to school and they learn how to spell. I would be a terrible home schooler!
5. Brownies: Enough Said!

5 things I don't love
1. Road Rage: Is there anything more uncomfortable than being in a car with someone who is sure to get you killed.
2. War: I think we were all taught when we were 2 years old not to hit!
3. Contention: I like when we have love at home.
4. Stinky feet: I think we should all smell like beautiful flowers!
5. Liars: May the liar be thrust down to hell.

The boys in our house all went to the Father/Son campout this weekend. Jeff forgot to bring the camera, but Carson drew this picture and when I asked him about it he said it was Daddy, Carson and Lincoln all on their trip. (Please note the outstanding detail, they all have nipples and a bellybutton.) They had a great time, they had a fire, ate dinner, made breakfast, played games and when they left Jeff took them fishing. I asked Carson if he put the worm on the hook all by himself, and he said "No, those worms were like OUCH, OOOHH, OH, that hurts" all the while squirming with pain himself. And the good part about them being gone is that me and Maycee got to have a girls night out with my mom and sister etc. We all went to dinner and shopping. Good times!!!

Go Bees!

This is how Lincoln felt by the end of Maycee's concert on Friday, although we all loved to hear her sing, I think it would be accurate to say that we all felt the same way after the busy week we had.

Here is a great shot of Maycee singing, she will sing and sing all over the house. The other day she said "Mom, I am an alto. Listen to me." I have to admit she belted out a tune that sounded great. Watch for her on the next American Idol.

This is Carson's concert. Yeah they are all in Kindergarten and he is pointing because that is part of the action to the song. This was the only picture I managed to take that he was not totally boogyin'. Give this boy a tune and he will break it down!!!

This whole week was so busy, but so great. I applied to be the cheer coach at Bonneville and I got it. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love gymnastics and cheerleading. I am so excited. I had to plan cheer tryouts for this week and while I have been on the trying out side of try outs before. I am learning that there is a lot that goes into planning it. I am so excited for the year, all the girls seem like they will be a lot of fun to work with. So between that, soccer games, concerts, cheer clinics and shopping for Maycee's new fingernails(she begged Grandma for)Oh, and watching the finally of the Bachelor, we have been nuts here. School is almost out for the kids and I am excited to have them home for the summer. Tball and Swimming, family reunions, we can't wait for the good times to roll!!!

Sunday Afternoon

Lincoln is training to be a super model, this is his "sexy" face.

No fear in this boy. He is very willing to jump in and catch that goose, take him home and cook him for dinner!

This is a game the kids love to play at the river. It's called... run as fast as you can to the tree and run back to mom. They usually sleep good after this game. Yahoo!!!

Maycee is such a great big sister. She doesn't want him to fall in.

Carson is caught red handed eating the bread for the birds. He is a growing boy.

These guys love to get out as close as they can without falling in. I wish they would stand back, but at least if they fall in it is pretty shallow right there.

Isn't this a great day? Yes those are buns on Jeff's ears, he is slowly turning into Mickey Mouse!

We love to go to the river, and this was the most perfect day. We walked around and it was like we were camping, but we got to go home and sleep in our own beds and wash our hands(Lincoln kept picking up goose poo, he thought it was rocks. Ew) We hope to have many more of these great days. Maybe summer really is here!

Breakfast in bed

Yesterday Maycee decided to make me breakfast in bed. It was so sweet, the night before she said "You sleep in a little later tomorrow because we have a surprise for you." So in the morning I could hear her quietly rummaging through the kitchen. Carson was in bed with me because that was his job-to keep me in bed.(that is not a very hard job, I really like it there). Then she brought up the food, she brought 4 kinds of cereal, 2 kinds of yogurt, milk, sugar, a bowl and spoon, she thought of it all and it was all neatly stacked on a little tray. I felt so special. There was even a hidden note that said... thank you for everything you do for us, we love you so much. Wow. Maycee is our girl that loves to sleep in, so for her to actually get up at 6:30 to do all of this was just sweet! She did say that she had to let Lincoln sleep though because he would just cry. Good call, he is a weenie when his sleep is disturbed. Well the sun is shining today so I am gonna go bask in it, ya never know it may snow again tomorrow.
