Finger Painting

I let the kids finger paint during conference yesterday and I looked away for a few seconds and they were painting each other. It kept them entertained and they had a blast doing it. I didn't mind until I had a HUGE mess to clean up!!




Today when we dropped Teigen off at school Ashlyn was being so sweet and said "Good Bye Teigen, I will see you after school." Then Teigen said "Good Bye you BOSSY COW!!"

What a BIG boy!!

I can't believe this day is already here! PRe-SChOol!! It was such a BiTTeR sWeeT DAy!!! He asked me about 50 times if it was time to go. Finally when it was time to go he ran out the door. He let me take a couple pictures and he ran to the car as fast as he could. When I walked him up to his school he was running and I had to tell him to slow down and wait for MoM:( When I picked him up he had a huge smile on his face. When we got home he wanted to do his "homework". He sat at the table tracing letters for about 3 minuets and said "I'm bored". Then he ran off to play with Ashlyn. He loved every second of his first day of school!! He is such a GOOD Boy!!

Today is our 6Th Wedding Anniversary! It feels much longer to me!!;) We had a great day! In church today our lesson was on eternal marriage and the importance of temples. It was a GREAT reminder of how special marriage is and how I felt on my wedding DAY. We went out to eat on Saturday night at this restaurant we have been wanting to try called RAZOO's. It was soooo good! I never thought that we would be where we are now. Thanks for making my life better than I could have ever imagined!! I LOVE YOU long time SWEETS!!!!!!!!!!!!



Good Old Days....

We made PROGRESS!! =)

A few months ago when we would ask Ashlyn what her name was she would spell out Teigen's name. Then, telling her over and over I think she finally has it. She even has a little less attitude which has been nice. (You have to turn off the music so you can hear the video)

We went on a walk today and Ashlyn fell asleep in the wagon. Her head kept bobbing all over the place so I wanted to get on video. Then Teigen, her bully of a big brother thought that it would be funny to scare her. She didn't find it to amusing. Maybe she still does have a little attitude. They are so fun!!



Teigen apologized for scaring her and she forgave him:)

DeAr LoVe,

We Miss You!! Study hard!! We will be home soon:)

Happy St. Paghienaengicks Day

What they mean to say is St.Patrick's Day. We made these Shamrock crowns for playgroup last week and they turned out really cute. The kids have had fun wearing them around. I think we need to work on how to say St. Patricks Day! I guess for a 2 and 4 year old its a tounge twister. They sure keep me entertained and laughing!! Happy St.Patrick's Day!!
