Back?

It’s been forever since I’ve posted.  It’s hard to get back into the swing of things, because I have so much to catch up on.  So maybe I’ll just cover the basics. 

We moved!  We bought a new house and we’re so happy here.  It really does feel like home. The kids are loving the neighborhood and it's fun to see them playing outside everyday with friends.  I even have to give them a bath every night because they're covered in dirt and filthy.  Which is nice because I know they're having lots of fun :).  Madi loves going in the fields and catching tiny frogs.  Those poor frogs...they should run for their lives!  Let's just say, Madi loves them to death.  Literally.  Haha! 

I had to get one of those tall orange flags for the back of Max's bike.  That kid gives me a heart attack on that thing!  He's like speedy gonzalez and he has a really hard time following the "stay out of the road" rule.  We'll keep working on it with him, but hopefully the flag will make him more visible.  And he's also learned how to ride without training wheels, so he's happy to think he's a BIG kid!

Madi loves her new school and is sad that Kindergarten will be over soon.  Then I remind her that’s because it will be SUMMER and then she’s excited!  I can’t believe she’ll be in first grade this fall.  She’s gonna be gone all day!  So sad.  I’m gonna miss her.  She’s just excited that she’ll have three recesses and get to eat lunch at school.  I’m glad that she’s so happy there. 

SIX YEARS OLD!

Brick oven and she got a lollipop sundae!

Madi got two birthday cakes!

EASTER

Madi’s looking sleepy :)

While my mom was here, Madi slept in Max’s room with him.  My mom went to check on them and this is how she found Madi, sound asleep.  SO funny!!

Kind of Easter Sunday pictures?  Mike and I were supposed to speak on Easter Sunday.  And…that Saturday Max started puking.  He was SO sick.  So I had to drop out and stay home with Max.  Which meant no Easter Sunday pictures all dressed up.  So this was a couple weeks later.  And I didn’t even know we’d be taking pictures or I would have actually done my hair and make-up.  Haha

We got grass!!  This was about 1/6 of the sod they brought.  We needed 12,000 sq feet of sod.  I about died when he told me that; that’s A LOT of grass!  Sheesh.

I didn’t take an after picture, but it’s looking really good!!  Hopefully Mike will be able to mow it this weekend. 

Max learning the 2-wheeler!  He did great and was so brave. 

This was so sweet.  After one of his wipe-outs Madi ran over and was comforting him.  I love how much my kids love each other :)

Well, there’s what we’ve been up to.  Mike is taking Max to the Jazz game tonight and then Madi to a Bee’s game tomorrow. They can’t wait for their night’s out with dad.  We’re excited for this summer!  Swimming, bbq’s, late nights playing outside.  It’ll be so nice.  Bring it on!
