wesley couldn't even move in all his snow gear and then he was put on the sleigh to be dragged around by the kids. when he fell over, he was like a helpless turtle on his back. poor wesley!
me, "halle, why did God make mothers?"
halle, "because if you didn't have a mother you would be sad"
me, "halle, why did God send you to me to be your mother?"
halle, "because you're the nicest mother in the world."
of course, then , just to make me even happier, i asked her what made me nice and she said, "because you play with us all day"
me, "halle, what are three things that make you happy?"
halle, "eating outside. when you play with me. and when daddy lets us jump on him."
me, "what are three things that make you sad?"
halle, "when we eat inside. when you dont' play with me and when daddy doesn't let us jumpn on him"
halle's quote of the day,
"mama, kiki got hello kitty earrings today, i saw a hello kitty shirt, and now i see a hello kitty water bottle. I think hello kitty is taking over the world!"
kiki,
i asked if she would rather have her passy or her ear's peirced. she got so excited and said, "my ear's peirced!!!". so she happily gathered up all her passys and gave them to me. slept through the night and this morning we went and got her ears peirced. she was soooo happy. they look so cute. she picked out hello kitty earrings. i'll post pictures soon.

poor wesley
the snow!
its still snowing in UT. for the girls sake, i'm glad it snowed while we were there....but i'm happy to be back. the high has been about 75 every day this week, cloudy, light breeze....soooo nice!!
this week: we played outside everyday, we played in the slip and slide, we ate outside for almost every meal (including breakfast), we went up our playground almost everyday, and took a couple walks around the neighborhood!
when the pool opens in a few weeks, my summer "vacation" officially begins!

O Remember, Remember
i watched this and loved it....i have always wanted to start a gratitude journal....but i never have. so this week i started a journal, just like Eryings, where i take note of all the ways God has his hand in my life.....all my blessings come from God and I am so grateful to Him for all He has given me. just getting to wake up every morning to my beautiful healthy daughters is a miracle everyday!

aidan
aidan is super smart. super silly and tons of fun! he never runs out of energy and halle had a blast with him. halle and aidan both live up to their first child roles but somehow never clashed! halle talks about him all the time, mimicks some of his facial expressions and reminds me of funny things he said or did all the time! she is excited to see the boys again at the end of the summer!
pretty girl!
kiki says, "i wuv you, mommy" or "i wuv you, too, mommy" at least 5-10 times a day. its so sweet and i never get tired of hearing it! she loves to give hugs and kisses, real ones and dog kisses. she loves to snuggle. when she is watching tv she likes to say, "mommy, come snuggle me" or "mommy, come be my friend and snuggle me" .....usually tv time is my clean up time, but its really hard for me to say no to kiera!

kiki
on saturday before easter, we went to a huge easter egg hunt, there where hundreds of kids and thousands of eggs in this feild. halle got a ton of eggs, kiki passed up a ton of eggs and only picked up pink eggs. she was so happy about her pink eggs!
short hair
halle begged me to cut her hair. she was soooo happy with how it turned out. it needs to go up for her recital next month, but when that is done, she asked me if she could have it cut even shorter, i said sure. i am happy that she loves it so much! she could not stop looking at her self for days after it was cut and even told me, "mom, i just can't stop looking at myself" and "its just too cute for words".....i can't believe i didn't do it months ago, it is sooo much easier, it used to be soooo tangly and now it looks so much thicker and smoother!!! plus it is too cute for words!
