Easter 2015

We had a super fun Easter this year. We started out by attending the Hooper Easter Egg Hunt. Bree had her own section with the little kids and Bryan took Miles & Tess to their area. Bree wasn't super aggressive to grab many eggs but she seemed happy with the few things she got, including this cute bunny headband.

Tess got a fun "Cat in the Hat" hat and I love to see her and Miles wear it around the house.

For our Easter Egg dyeing this year we decided to try something new. Instead of the standard PAAS dye kit with all the cups of vinegar we did a new technique...you put a big blob of shaving cream on a plate and drop different colors of food coloring throughout and stir it up to create swirl effects. Then just roll the egg around it and let it set. It ended up with a cool tye-dye look to it. I liked this a lot!

Easter morning the kids looked around for hidden eggs and had to find their hidden Easter baskets too.

(I just noticed that Miles blends in with all his stuff...his jammies match his basket and his new swim shirt!)

Easter Sunday was General Conference so the kids had to wait a week to wear their cute new Easter clothes. Here they are after church on this beautiful sunny day.

"Kidisms" (things my kids say that I want to remember)

June 2019

I was chatting with Bryan and Miles, and Bryan happened to do the Dirty Harry line, "Go ahead, make my day." Miles was a little familiar with it, but not quite sure and he asked, "isn't that the cowboy...what's his name, Clive Eastman or something?"

April 2019

We were talking about the stupid name Heinz gave to their new fry sauce ("Mayochup"). I mentioned that I also saw "Mayocue" sauce in the store. Clever Bree said they should sell "Mayoturd." Hahaha!

January 2019

I was helping Bree with her piano song; she is just starting to learn about key signatures, sharps, and flats. She pointed to the sharp sign and wondered about the "hashtag."

Tonight we were chatting and Bryan joked about how he likes "livin' on the edge." Miles said, "Mom likes livin' on the edge too...as long as she has a good book." Haha, that boy knows his mama!

December 2018

We got some Ghirardelli chocolates for a gift and Tess wanted some, but she had a little bout of dyslexia and asked for "ger-da-helli" chocolates. So now when we are bugged with each other, we just say "Ger-da-helli!" to each other.

November 2018

Bryan took the kids to the church to play ball, and Miles was running in the parking lot and tripped right over his feet and biffed it. He stood up, exasperated, and yelled, "I hate these GIGANTIC feet!" Poor guy!

August 2018

Bree was making a "potion" with her friends and proudly came to show me her creation. She said she made "hansitizer" (hand sanitizer) and when I asked the ingredients she said "water, dish soap, poppy seeds, and sriracha!" I'm not so sure that hansitizer would get hands very clean!

July 2018

Bree was packing a bag for a sleepover at G&G T's house and tried to shove a big stuffed animal into her small backpack. It wouldn't fit, and she pulled it out, saying, "Hmmm, she has constipation. She doesn't like being in small, tight spaces." I guess she mixed up claustrophobia with constipation, hahahaha!
