{The Clipboard}

Do you use clipboards?

I love them. They help me so much. And the more I use them the more I love them.

They keep any project all together. For instance, we are getting new counter tops. I have several pieces of papers that I need. And so when I go to the tile store or the granite store I just grab my clipboard. It has all the info I need.

Or Drew's baseball team info. Since I do the team Mom thing, I have a clipboard with all his baseball papers, roster, schedule, ect. So you will see me at the ball field with my clipboard.

I was just called to be the Relief Society Secretary (another perfect calling for me). Well because it's such a paper calling, I have my clipboard. I have my big folder but it's much easier to haul around this clipboard than a folder with info I don't need at the time.

Now go buy a clipboard. They are seriously the best.

I got this new clipboard a few weeks ago from target. Not only is it super cute but it opens up so there is a folder inside and paper. Can't beat that! I think I will go buy a couple more!

Oh and this picture is just because he's cute. Alex has been sick with just a fever for the last 3 days. So that means a lot of movie time for this little guy. What would we do without Woody, Jessie or Buzz in our life?

EASTER

{St. George 2011}

My kids and their bugs! I can't count how many bugs they had to come show me over the weekend. Remember a couple years ago when I caught them lining up the dead cockroaches?

We always make something special for my Dad's grave site over Easter. This time we added all these cute buttons.

Then we have to say hello to the nice horses that hang around the cemetery.

We also wanted to meet this new member of the family. Janson. This is Tyler's Cousin's first baby!

Saturday's neighborhood Easter egg hunt.

Egg coloring.

Easter Morning.

Alex adores Jessie! So he is in love with his new Jessie doll.

Does anyone else remember these shoes??? Saltwater Sandals. Well my Mom always had me and my Brother in these sandals growing up. So I was so excited to get them for my kids.

And here are the plates I ordered from Zulily. They turned out so cute.

Easter BBQ and crawdad fishing.

My cute baby (but not for long).

The most perfect weather, family and food! We love our Easters in St. George.

PS. I used to work for a Cardiologist in St. George so while we were there I asked the PA, a friend, if we could show the kids an ultrasound of the baby since they never saw one. Crazy to get an ultrasound this late in the game. She's so much bigger and of course active. She is doing great and she has some big eyes, that were open, so we could even see her pupils. Oh and she is for sure a she. No more 3 lines, we could see the real girl part. Made me so excited to meet her soon.

THIRTY

::30 WEEKS::

-It's really weird when I go shopping in let's say the baby GAP and I have a child in every section to buy for. Baby Girl, Baby Boy, Kid Girl and Kid Boy.

-It's not even hot here yet and I am HOT! June is going to kick my butt. I don't know how I did with Alex being born in the beginning of September.

-I'm finally getting my granite countertops!

-I'm down to 2 week dr. visits. Really? I just tell the dr. thats really not necessary, I'll just see you in a month.

-Baby's room is D-O-N-E. I will post pics soon.

-You should see Tyler's list of to do's on Saturdays. We've been married for 9 years, he's used to it.

-He has to tell me to sit my butt down often. I'm surprised I am always induced with how I don't rest ever.

-Baseball started for Drew and last game he was the catcher, gear and all. Talk about melt your Mom's heart. Not going to lie, got a little teary eyed.

-Had a dream that the baby was 8lbs 15oz and had tons of dark hair.

-I pee sugar. Just in case you were wondering.

-It looks like I will have gestational diabetes but when I get the blood work done (I don't have to do the drink thing) my levels are actually low. It's happened every time.

-Still cleaning and organizing. Uncle Curtis was over Sunday and helped Tyler move the entertainment center so we could vacuum under it. Made me happy inside.

-I am slowing down though. When the weather starts getting warmer, it seems we get busier. So less time in the house.

-We leave for St. George Thursday for Easter. I'm so excited for some 70's! We are all in need of some vitamin D. Especially my little Edward Jr.

-Drew had his Kindergarten shots today. Not one tear. He's such a good boy. I remember how dramatic Olivia was when she got hers. Girls. Can't wait for another drama queen.

-I am asked everyday if this is my first pregnancy. It never get's old to see their face when I say 4th!

-10 weeks to go. If that?

Happy Birthday Drew

Drew is FIVE!

{April, 17th 2011}

I loved that Drew wanted to go bowling this year for his Birthday. That meant little planning, little preparing and little spending for me.

I always have to have a theme so bowling it was but that was a hard. There are not much bowling party things. So I have to get creative.

Bowling wrapping paper?

Nope, but I did get polka dot paper and markered dots to make it look like bowling balls.

Bowling party favors.

Bowling invites.

Bowling dessert.

This was a stretch. But I thought doughnuts sounded better than the typical cupcake. I just put white dots on them.

The party.

On Sunday, his actual Birthday, I made the dinner he wanted. Steak, salad, corn on the cob, and peach pie. He got a cute shirt from Uncle Curtis and Aunt Kim. And we thought it was time he got a new "bigger" bike. His other is so small and we are ready to switch the training wheels and start teaching Alex to ride. This new bike is a little big for Drew still (without the training wheels), but I bet within the week he will have it down.

Happy Birthday to our sweet boy!
