Early Easter

Since we aren't going to church next week, I let the kids wear their new clothes to church today. Mainly for Abby, who was dying to wear the Easter dress that she picked out. Might I add that she looked darling in it! (I know I am biased) The boys looked quite dashing as well. Too bad there weren't any pretty spring flowers to take their pictures by.

Happy St. Patty's Day

Of course, I forgot to take pictures of how cute the kids all looked in their green attire for the big day. They were excited when they woke up to find the leprechauns had turned our house upside down, and left magic leprechaun dust all over. They left lucky charms and green milk for the kids. When Riley went to bed, he left a note on the table for "Tippety" the leprechaun to please leave "one girl toy and two boy toys" during the night for the kids. Do leprechauns really leave toys? I don't remember getting any when I was young, but Riley was insistent on what he thought was the norm. If anyone has insight on this holiday policy, please fill me in. He did not get any presents, but a note from Tippety that said to wait for Easter for a fun toy.

For the record...

My husband got a hold of my blog, and the previous post is all his doing. I, for the record, am extremely horrified of mice, which he is fully aware of, and the sole reason for his post. He thought he was being funny. I think otherwise.

My new favorite commercial

Usually, I write about my kids, or my wonderful husband (did I mention how awesome he is?) but today i thought i would share my new favorite commercial with everyone. I just cant get enough of this little guy. He is so cute, just lying there helpless. I am thinking of getting one for the kids to play with.

too cute

Abby is such a good big sister. She and Jake were playing so cute together all day. They wouldn't leave each others' sides, and couldn't even stand to be apart for one minute. Not even while Abby had to practice the piano.

Happy Valentines Day!

How did I get such sweet little Valentines! They are the best kids, and I just couldn't love them any more that I already do!! Tyler wasn't in the picture, but he is my true valentine!! He is the best husband, and I love him so much!

Ski bums

I started skiing at an early age, and just recently decided that my kids need to learn. They have been before, but both really want to do it now. I made a goal that I was going to take one of them skiing each week. Riley and I went two weeks ago, and he did so good!! I was really proud of him, and he had fun. It was such a nice day, we had to take off our coats and hats. Riley wanted to take off his pants too, but the extra padding was much needed.

Abby and I went on Friday, and I don't think we have ever laughed so hard together. She did so great getting on and off the lifts, and wanted to keep doing it.
I love spending one-on-one time with my kids. This is such a fun way to do it, because they have my undivided attention, something they don't always get at home. I am looking forward to our next trip to the ski slopes.
