Theme Days at school!

The last few weeks are always fun-filled, as we all remember. Alexis's class has been doing theme days. She has loved it. Here are a few of the really fun ones that she has done...

Cowboy Day: I forgot to get a picture of this one, but she was cute in her pink cowgirl hat and plaid ruffle skirt. The kids colored little cowboys/girls and horses and then put their person on the horse. If their person stayed on the horse all day long (accomplished by completing work, not talking, following rules, etc.) than they got a rope licorice lasso! Too Cute!


Where's Waldo Day!: If you are old and an avid reader, than you know who Waldo is! If not, than you should check out a Where's Waldo book at the library! They are great for all ages and so much fun! It was just by chance that we were able to come up with this for Alexis!





Where's Waldo?? Can you spot her?


Funny thing about it, the shirt is actually Skyler's. That's right, my darling 8 year old can actually wear her 2 year old brother's clothes without looking too weird! The outfit turned out awesome though!!
Quiet as a Mouse Day: This one the kids were to keep quiet all day long! They could only ask the teacher for help when necessary. They made little mice with long tails. If their tails didn't get cut off than they got cheese and crackers at the end of the day. Before school I was joking with Alexis and told her that this one would be hard for her and that she probably wouldn't earn her cheese! She replied "I know! I can't wait for recess when I can talk!!" It was so funny! Good girl though, she actually earned her cheese and crackers! Didn't get her tail cut once!

Pirate Day!: ARGH! I didn't think that we would be able to come up with this one, because we didn't have any real pirate costume, but I improvised and look what we came up with! Not too shabby for just putting together things that we already had! Guess that is what pirates do anyway! She even has in only 1 gold hoop earring! Hilarious!



Avast! Keep away from me loot!

Newman Marcus Wildlife Preserve



We went to the Wildlife Preserve in Boise with my Uncle Eric on Friday. It was amazing! The whole thing was jam packed into an area as big as a baseball diamond.














The streams, and lookouts were amazing! You could see the fish swimming right in the water. There were glass plates set up so you could see into the stream. There were huge fish, crayfish, beaver dams, flowers, the works. The kids had such a great time. Skyler especially loved to just sit and watch the fish swimming around. I loved the serene scenery. I got a lot of great pictures here. It was so lovely. I am not usually one to take pictures of flowers and things, but this place was well worth it!

Happy Mother's Day!


We were in Washington for Mother's Day. The hotel gave all the moms roses! Very Sweet! This is a family photo of us in the hotel library! We had so much fun!


Top 10 reasons I love being a Mother:


1. Nothing can brighten your day more than the happy giggle of your little children

2. Whenever you need a hug, they are always in fresh supply

3. I love holding little hands in mine, to cross the street, to comfort, to admire...

4. I love knowing that 3 people will always love me unconditionally, and will thank me in years to come

5. "I love you Mommy" are the 4 greatest words in the world!

6. Who can resist it when Mommy is the only one who will do!

7. I love to cuddle with my little ones, feel their tiny little bodies next to mine and remember that once, they were growing inside me, and now they are so big!

8. I love to hear "this is the best dinner ever mommy!"

9. Bath time is both frustrating and exhilarating all at the same time! You mom's out there know what I mean!

10. To be a mom is the greatest calling and gift that a loving father could give us!
