So not funny

How long it's been since I've blogged. But I've got lots to tell.

Today I sold my couch and love seat on KSL.com in 9 hours. Pretty excited about that. They were good couches. Hand-me-downs of course! But good. They brought us some comfy times over the past 3 years. And of course, I experimented with them a little over year ago when they were driving me crazy. But to no avail. Tonight is the last night that they will be with us. I'm glad the girls are going to a good home and that they'll be able to stay together!

I really love Spring Cleaning. Wish I had more time to do it. I'm finding all sorts of things in my house that I just don't use. And my growing addiction has been for KSL.com and Craig's List. I just can't help myself. Not to worry. Haven't purchased anything yet.

Last week Farmboy's brother and sister were in town. I know I mentioned this on the last post which was sadly over a week ago. And I'm just NOW getting around to talking about it. But...last Friday, we took TRAX up to Salt Lake and had a great time. Half the fun is just the ride. But of course Uncle D and Aunt Little S made it do-able. I couldn't have done it alone.

Looking at Mini-E and Aunt Little S makes me realize that Mini-E could definitely be HER daughter and not so much mine.

Now, what else have I missed? Oh yes...this.

Proof of Spring. And yet this week it snowed 3 days. Not exactly a good start. But I trust that I'll be enjoying my happy friends soon. They are one the best parts of living in Utah.

Picture after picture-

my life keeps chugging along. I feel like I'm all sorts of behind on everything, but I suppose that's a typical mommy feeling. I wouldn't want to forget this:

Mini-E loves to take showers and baths. If anyone is in the shower or bathtub, she wants to be involved. She's become quite proficient at stripping down to her nothings. It's actually nice when the baby can do a lot for herself. I even ask her to go throw her diaper in the garbage! Love that. She's very good at putting away the clean silverware & will do just about any chore to get a "point"-I had no idea the points would be such a motivator for her. At any given time she has 20+ points in her savings. I don't think she's learned how to "spend" them.


Yesterday morning I did a bit changing of the guard with the clothes. You know, where you bring up the buckets of hand-me-downs from the basement & see what fits and all that good stuff. It's always a bigger task than I hope it will be. But, I am so grateful that we have hand-me-downs to wear. Can't imagine what we'd do without them. Go naked I guess! HY gets so excited about all his new clothes from his nephews. I was surprised to see Mini-E get quite involved--she wanted to wear all the new clothes. I put her in this darling yellow dress on Sunday. It was a bit big on her, but I really hate it when I think it's too big and so by the time we try it on it's too small. We don't ever want to miss the window of wearing opportunity. It's so small for my little growers.


Since it's Spring Break in AZ, Uncle D and Aunt little S have come to play. We love having them around to help with the kids and wash the occasional floor (thanks uncle D).

Yesterday we made it out to Wheeler Farm again (this time it was truly warm, not just seemingly so). And we took Uncle D with us & daddy met us for another pb& j picnic.


if you are wondering why there's a big open space on the left it's because this little man wouldn't get in the photo.

More ducks, only this time we didn't feed them. They are plump enough without our help.

Our favorite part (other than having our 2 special guests) was seeing the pigs blow bubbles in their water. Who knew?

It was fun to be out in the sun and together with family.

Too tired to think of a clever title...

I love it when my sisters kids are on Spring Break! We get to spend time together and HY gets to play with all the cousins. He is simply in love with Aunt CC and her kids. What would I ever do without my family. Today we went to the dollar movies and saw Night at the Museum. We thought it was fabulous. Even little HY enjoyed it, until the very end when he zonked. Thanks Aunt CC for being one of the best sisters, mothers, and aunts I know. I can hardly imagine what you'll be like as a grandmother. Here's a picture she took of HY and his new buddy Puppy "Caseys."

Speaking of grandmothers...Grandma Suz and Grandpa S are coming into town late tonight. With them will be Uncle D and Aunt little S. HY will be so happy when he wakes up and sees all the new faces in our house. Goodnight!
