Spring Break 2010

I know I haven't blog for a very, very, very long time. So I finally have something to blog about. We went to Disney World for spring break and had an excellent time. We drove for 28 hours to and 28 hours back from Florida. We were able to visit with family and create good memories. Thank-you Troy for the Blowpops. They kept us satisfied until we could stop for dinner. I hope you enjoy the pictures and hopefully video that I have attached. Hope you all have a great week. Love, Leah PS Look at the bottom of my blog for video and pictures. Next posts I've figured out how to put pictures and videos in my posts.

Thaddeus

Thaddeus is growing toooooo fast. He currently wears his father's shoes (9 1/2) and can fit into some of Karlton's pants that are to small for Karlton. He will be 12 in 4 months. Where did the time go? He's such a big help and I appreciate that he will watch his younger sisters and brother for me while I go grocery shopping or to meetings. I can't wait to see what he'll be when he grows up.

Everyone have a great week!

About Karlton

I have just added info about Karlton from Plaxo. Now I use it more than he does but if any of you have a Plaxo account then you can get in touch with Karlton or me.

Mother's Day

Ah, Mother's Day. That day you think you will have perfect children who will show their appreciation for all you do by being their best selves especially at church. Let's just say that two years in a row now I have been seriously close to giving my children to a mother who could seriously do a much better job than me with them. Granted they were all wonderful angels before we got to church. The girls had done wonderful art projects at school for me, Alexis made me breakfast, and Thaddeus and Nicholas gave me great big hugs. Sacrament meeting started out ok. Rebekah was very vocal that she wanted to sleep during the passing of the sacrament. I took care of that by sitting next to her and explaining she needs to go to bed earlier on Saturday because she wakes up sooooo early (5am) in the mornings no matter when she goes to bed. Thaddeus was wonderful and helped out with Nicholas. I was smiling and then the kids went to Primary. I go to Sunday School and not 2 minutes later the Primary President brings me my darling Nicholas. He had been hitting. Some how I need to find him something to hit other than his parents, siblings, other kids. I have a little discussion with him about hitting, sit with him for a little bit, and then go back to class. Again, he comes back to me because he is hitting. I lose it and one wonderful sister comes to my rescue and tells me things will get better. It better or I may consider a change in employment. My hope is that next Mother's day I will not be in tears.

Karlton has totally made up for Sunday. I got a laptop and dinner and a movie. Star Trek is phenomenal! Quiznos is great too. I got Karlton a new stereo receiver and invested in fixing our PS3 and XBox 360 for Father's Day and Birthday since both fall in the month of June. We both got a new router/modem for our internet because ours died randomly yesterday. Boy did Best Buy get some money from us. Ok we are a family that likes our electronics.

I hope everyone else had a wonderful Mother's Day and a great week. Love, Leah

Spring Break 2009

I have finally posted some of our Spring Break pictures. There were too many pictures to choose from but I hope you enjoy what I have posted.

This spring break we went with Granny to Las Vegas NV. We also went to Zion National Park and to the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City. While in Salt Lake we were able to visit with our friend Damon and his family and our niece Kimberly and her sister-in-law Bethany and Bethany's children Mckenzie, Daniel, Josh, and Natalie. It was a wonderful vacation but it seemed short.

I hope you all have a great weekend. Leah

Where does the time go?

It has been a full 8 days since our family went on vacation. I am still working on getting the pictures and video downloaded. We had a great time but when we got home karlton said it felt like the shortest vacation we have taken. The kids couldn't believe they had to go to school the day after we got back. Well, have a great week!

Finally! Pictures

It has been a week and I have finally posted pictures. They contain Alexis' last day of preschool, some shots at home, our trip to Elephant Butte, and the Albuquerque Zoo. Enjoy!
