T-Ball

What a good lookin' kid I have! Today was his first day of T-ball. Besides swimming lessons, this is the first sport he has officially played. He was so excited!
He wanted a lot of pictures taken because Rich was working and he wanted to show his dad how he looked.
But where ever there is a camera, there is Liv. I had to fight her to get a picture without her in it. So after a couple alone, in she came.
She wanted to pose like Jackson did for all of his pictures. Killi would not accept being left out.
Practice was fun, but at first I did not know if we were at the right field. I thought that we were at the younger kids practice. Besides Jacksons best buddy, he towered over all the little ones.
And there they are, the crazy 2! Jacob and Jackson! Lets take a moment to pity their teacher. 2 years in a row they have been able to be in the same class. They are even like 12 year old girls....they like talking on the phone....ALOT!

Another tag...do it, or just think about it!

A "Nothing that great to say" Update

Just a couple cute pictures that I wanted to get out. We went to vegas for a couple days last week. It was Sydney and Holden's baby blessings so it was super fun. Anywho- Rich, mom, and I took my kids plus Connor to the M&M factory. Super fun, but glad it is over:)
Liv wanted to love on the characters but Jackson wanted nothing of it.
This is the new destroying angel. She is realy getting a personality! Pardon the boogy nose picture. No tissue can recover it, and that is why she is next to the shower. My saving grace with her! Anyways, to see her awesomness look down....
What the heck is that? That is me standing as bow legged as I can to show you a bit of her art work. Last night she would NOT go to sleep. So I took her downstairs to lay with me on the recliner. This is usually what does it for her and out she goes. NO SUCH LUCK! I fell asleep and she found a marker! This only shows about half of it. When I woke up I took the marker from her. I thought I had stopped the destruction before it started. Got her to bed, and then got in bed...and saw, what in the low light looked light bruises. Then with light on I saw the ready made easel I make. I look good in brown tones, dont I?

A couple thoughts for the day

My favorite book is called "A time to laugh". It is an LDS book that my family has used a ka-gillion times to use for our talks in church. Here are a couple good ones.
**Man's capability to tell ONLY ONE LIE is directly proportional to man's ability to eat ONLY ONE POTATO CHIP!
**Swallow your pride occasionally, it's non-fattening.
**Sinning keeps you from praying--Praying keeps you from sinning.
AND ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITES...
***You must learn from the mistakes of others. You can't possibly live long enough to make them all yourself.
Have a great day all!

Torrie tagged me!

Well the 6th picture was a concert that Rich went to (not my thing, and not very interesting).. so the next one is this cutie picture. This was a while ago. It was in our house in Arizona. For a couple of you this is probably what Livi looked like time you saw her. Sooooo different know. Anyways they would sit by the back door teasing the dog outside. Liv's favorite thing to do was to run and face plant in the dog's hair-infested bed which you see in the background. Nasty huh? Ok, 6 people to tag...Page, Kait, Leslie, Steph, Erica, and Ross. (Ok so it is the 6th picture in your 6th folder....dont be wimps. I want at least 2 out of 6!)

Olivia's Prayers

Since mid-January, when we trashed our gingerbread house, Livi's prayers have included something about it. Every night. Please bless it to be safe, please bless Jesus to give it back to us, or just thank you for our Gingerbread house. Stay tuned to see what I got suckered into.
