It's fun being a kid!!!

Grandma's Hot Tub is very popular when it comes to the kids.  Carter is always saying.  I want to go swim in Grandma's Hot Pools PLEASE!!!   So we went out to spend the day.  After they swam in the hot tub they made cookies and watched a movie.  Lots of fun!

 

I just thought Macie looked so cute sitting here eating her cookies.  

 

 A couple of day before Macie's Birthday I was baking the cake and I had some left over cake mix so we made cupcakes.  Then the kids got to frost them and put sprinkles on them.  It is a good thing that I don't like frosting or cake because I would have gained back some of this weight that I have lost.  Instead it is really easy to just let the kids enjoy something fun without feeling like I need to steal one away from them. 

 

Macie loved the purple frosting and she had it all over her face and up her nose.  Silly girl!

Feeding the ducks!

It has been a little while since I have written on my blog so there will be a lot of entries coming.  I just thought I would get started with these cute pictures of the kids feeding the ducks on a nice day.  We still had a little snow so it wasn't the warmest but the kids were begging me to take them so away we went.  They had a lot of fun. Macie was so funny she would get a whole slice of bread and tear off tiny pieces and then throw it at the ducks.  Then Sydnee got bit on the finger before Macie could break up her slice and and while Macie was watching Sydnee a goose came up to her and took her whole slice of bread right out of her hands and she was so mad that she turned around and said HEY!!!  THAT"S MINE!!!
My mom and I laughed so hard it was great.

Can't believe February is over.

Well I can hardly believe that we are in the 3rd month of the year.  February went by so fast.  Here are just a few things that happened the last little part of February.

Valentine's Day.  The kids had a good morning they got some glow in the dark stars for their rooms and then lots of bubble stuff.

Dave bought me TWO bouquets of flowers and we went to a dinner and dance the Friday before. It was a very special dinner and dance because Dave surprised me and sang to me in front of our ward.  It was the song he sang to me on our wedding day.  Very special.  I love you Dave.

All of Carter's friends from church got together and we had a Valentine's party.  They had a lot of fun making their boxes and then handing out their Valentine's Cards. 

I thought this picture was great.  Carter was having a lot of fun playing with some of his new birthday stuff.  He was making garages with his Mag-formers.  We didn't have enough to make a big garage for his 4 wheeler but he still wanted it in the picture.

Carter was so excited for Kailey to come on the Tuesday after his birthday because now they both had a V Smile Pocket to play with at the same time.  They loved it and they kept trading games.  It was really cute to hear them helping each other out.

Great-Grandma Birch had her Birthday on the 21st so my mom threw a party for her at her house.  We were all able to get together and have a great day.  Carter was excited to take his swimming suit to Grandma T's and get in the hot tub after everyone left from the party.  He is crazy.  It wouldn't matter if it was 20 below he would still want to go get in the hot tub. 

Macie was being silly.  She climbed into the dolly play pin and then Sydnee was covering her with all the little blankets.  They were laughing really hard.  It was really cute.

As for Dave and I we are doing great.  I have actually embarked on a new adventure for myself.  I started on a diet and exercising every day.  It is really hard but very rewarding.  I have already lost 12lbs.  I hit my two weeks tomorrow.  I haven't missed a day of riding my bike and I have been eating so much better.  I feel so good it is actually what keeps me going.
