Super Clean

It's a great day in my book when the Littles dump the remaining 1/2  box of laundry detergent into the washing machine.  The fortunate part was that there was no laundry inside - the unfortunate part was it mostly fell through the holes in the bottom and when I attempted to scoop up the powder remaining in the basin, it mostly just spread out and fell through the holes even more.  I bare was able to rescue about a half a scoop.  I ended up having to simply vacuum out the rest.  Thank goodness for the shop vac.

Ahoy Matey and Other Such Things

Sporting the hat that Kyndi made her...

 First chance at rice cereal - made no messes at all!






Kamron found Dayton on the shelf in the closet..
Apparently she isn't so fond of being smothered with toys

5 Mumps Already!

Here's that beautiful little lady I love! 5 months old already!


Bumbeez

Oaklee was so thrilled to go to Sunbeams last sunday! I was a little worried that she wouldn't do so well outside of Nursery where there are toys - but as soon as she got home  (One of our neighbors calls me every morning to find out what kids wanna go to church) she rushed to find me and show me all the pictures she had colored and announced, "Mom! I went to Bumbeez today!!"  Love that girl.

I Heart Bumbo

The number 1 reason I love Jersi's new Bumbo Seat:

Bath time!!

Favorite Toy

This is Jersi's favorite toy! She loves it! And thanks to Anjanette who blogged about hers a while back, I went out and got it for her for Christmas.
It's perfect for her little hands to hold onto and she very rarely drops it. I love it.

Ew I could just gobble her up!!

School in Session

Whereas I was entirely grateful for the kiddos to start up their schooling again, so that I might hold onto at least one small piece of my sanity, I am not thrilled at the fact that I too get to head back to school this evening (Technically I could start my online classes right now  - but um, no.) I am none too thrilled. At. All. I really dread school these days. Too much stress. Too much pressure to get perfect grades and get it done with... too much away from home time. (This semester I am gone Tuesdays - Fridays from 5:30 PM to 8:30ish - which means I'll not be home to tuck in my Littles. Plus I have classes on Saturdays too. Blah.) I'm not thrilled - have I mentioned that already? I know, enough complaining already - but really it's hitting me hard this semester. I just want to be done already.  The end is in sight though - After this semester I only have 4 classes left which I intend to complete over the summer. FABULOUS!!

Whilst One Kid Pukes...

Bless Oaklee's heart - she had a sudden onset of a stomach bug and became quite the puker the other night... And Kamron bless his heart, rushed to her rescue and put her in the tub for me! Love that man! Why was I unavailable to do this for her? Two Words:

JUST DANCE!! 

Yes, after thoroughly enjoying myself at Sharli's house, I just had to have it too!!  Me and the kiddos (except the poor sick Lella) had a riot of dance-our-guts-out proportions.  (Don't worry though, Oaks was not neglected - she thouroughly enjoyed herself in the tub "uh-laxin")
I will tell you though - nobody has quite the hip-moving talent as oaklee does - and I don't know where she got it!! (SO cute!!)
And for the record of that night, Tyson kicked my trash point-wise on the Monster Mash! (But I kicked everyone's trash every other time) (Go me!)
Sadly I somehow got no pictures - or if I did, I cannot find them.  Stay tuned to a later post when I get pictures of the fun we have, and post them.

Just Dance!!

My new all-time favoritest game for wii, ever. Hands Down.  JUST DANCE. It amazingly bundles hilariousness, awkwardness, funness, and fitness all into one tiny little circle-y disk. Fabulous. I highly recommend it (times infinity five hundred) Over New Years weekend I ended up visiting Sharli's house in Logan for a wee-bit (We celebrated New Years with Row & Linda  (Kamron's dad and Step-mom) in Logan and spent the night there) - So I took an opportunity to visit Sharli's house and I am so thrilled I did.  I danced my guts out whilst both Kamron and Dan laughed at my manuevers.

I stole some pictures from Sharli's blog to maybe show you the delightfulness of this game:

Oaks and Dayton:

Sharli and Me - and I will openly reveal that it was most definitely me doing the complete wrong move here:

Days later my parents joined in on the fun...
Sharli and my mom (and I am certain my dad is mocking them from the comfort of the couch)

Now enter the hilariousness of my dad! Seen here dancing the Monster Mash with Sharli

 And pictured here with Dan (Sharli's husband)


And this here my friends is evidence that my dear Tyson was just slightly (completely) bored whilst Sharli and I danced song after delightful song.
(This is the side of her micro-fiber couch, that he happened to be sitting next to)

(Sidenote: Kamron so lovingly informed me later that I seriously lack dancing coordination, and (after I had laughed over a video of my dad playing said game) informed me that I must get that from my dad. Wow. Enter dancing complex.)
