Mason's un-birthday

When ever someone has a birthday in Mason's kindergarten class, they get to have someone special come to their class room to read a book and bring treats. Since Mason's birthday isn't until the summer, he got to have an un-birthday today. Today was the day and Mason picked out this book for me to read to his class.

Mason got to sit by me while I read the story and wear a crown.

I brought cupcakes to share.

Cooper and Shiloh got to come celebrate too.

Build and Grow

One Saturday we were at Lowes. They were having their Build and Grow Workshop. So they boys stopped dreaming about hammers, tape measures, screw drivers, screws, and nail and joined the fun. That particular Saturday they made bird houses that have suction cups attached so you can put them on your window. Last Saturday they made bi-planes.

Sport Utility Vehicle

Here's another awesome Silly Song from Veggie Tales.

Boys vs Girl

Both boys decided to wear camouflage today. I dressed Shiloh in a pink outfit. I thought they were all pretty cute in their gender specific outfits.

6 Months

Shiloh turned 6 months old yesterday. To celebrate, she got to eat some baby food. We gave her some carrots. She wasn't interested in eating any of them. Hopefully that will change.

Here she is getting her first bite.

Shiloh had her 6 month check up today.
She weighs 17 lbs 6 ozs (75%) and is 26.5 inches long (75%)

Light bulbs

Do you remember a video I posted awhile back about the new and improved light bulbs that will be replacing the evil incandescent ones?

If not, here is the link to that video.

Here is a new video from Glenn Beck. You know, that fool who told us to buy Gold when it was something like $450 an ounce and now it's $1,500 an ounce. Oh and he's the same fool who's been telling America to have some food storage...just in case. Here's his latest bit of advise. I for one am going to follow it. Off to the store I go to stock up!

School House Polka

I have come to love Veggie Tales and so have Mason and Cooper. Here is one of my favorite Silly Songs with Larry.

Mother's Day Video

So instead of a card for Mother's Day this year, the boys wanted to make a video. Here is what we came up with and I didn't prompt them to say any of this.

Core #1

For my Family Foundations class we are focusing on The Family: A Proclamation to the World, as I said in a previous post. For the first core, which each core is two weeks long, we focused on the first paragraph of the proclamation which talks briefly about the plan of salvation, marriage, and eternal families. Here are two talks I really liked from our first core studies.
David A Bednar's talk "Things as they really are" here
Robert D Hales' talk "The Eternal Family" here

Holy Roller

Yesterday at church, I was in the mothers lounge changing Shiloh's diaper. When I was done changing her diaper, I put her on the floor, on her tummy so I could wash my hands. When I turned around she was on her back! There were two other moms in the room with me, neither of them saw her roll over either. Then she rolled over again this morning, from her back to her tummy this time. After missing her first two rolls, I was determined to not miss the third! So today I coaxed her into rolling and had Mason take video for me. I can't believe I have a holy roller (get it?).

Look at that cute little face. I just love her and her chubby little cheeks. Now when people say, "look at those rolls" they may not be just talking about the rolls on her body.

Mother's Day

I had a really great Mother's Day. I woke up to Jeff, Mason, and Cooper giving me my present. They got me some awesome new jewelry, which I LOVE! They also got me a chocolate bar, that one wasn't a surprise. Cooper accidentally told me earlier in the week that they got me one.

I wore this set to church yesterday.

Jeff made me my favorite dinner. Georgia chicken, homemade french fries, and a green salad. mm mm if you've ever been privileged to have Jeff's Georgia chicken, you know just how good it is.
Jeff treated me like a princess all day, which really isn't any different from any other day. Jeff is so good to me every day of the year. I am so blessed to have him in my life and to have three beautiful children to share our lives with.

Oh boy

This is the kind of thing I put up with every day. I love every minute of it. I wouldn't have it any other way.
