They Twitterpate Me

 Lately I have been feeling so grateful to be a mother. So grateful for the blessings and the responsibilities. So grateful to be able to be home with them. And so honored to call them mine.   

I wish I had the time to share all the thoughts rolling around in my head, unfortunately time is in short supply right now. Maybe soon. For now, here are some recent pics of the one's I love.

Our Biggest and our Littlest girls

These two are best buds and they wrestled WAY more than any of the boys

Chubby Easter baby,  Aftyn

Mommy and Syd...She is way cuter than I ever have been, but I think she looks like she belongs to me.

Oh, I could just smooch her every second of the day.

Playing 500 with dad.

More playtime.

I just love all my little munchkins.

We are not a perfect family, but together we fit pretty perfectly.

Easter Festivities

Here are some pics of our Easter fun.

This year we did one big family basket. Each kid got something of their own, but they also got things to share, like new sports balls to play with together. Basketball, football, and tennis are their games of choice right now.

These two "Holiday Happy's" as they call themselves organized a Easter egg hunt for the family using their own money. These two lighten my load everyday with their goodness. I'm a lucky momma.

Let's not forget our Easter bunny, Zoe.

She hopped around while the kids hunted for eggs.

Saturday was a really nice day of Easter fun and working in the yard together.

Sunday was also a beautiful day filled with the spirit and thoughtful reflection of our Savior, Jesus Christ and His marvelous Resurrection. He Lives!

 Happy Spring Everyone! 

 

Let The Chores Begin!

I have been wanting to make a chore chart for a long time. Since it will be a main feature on my kitchen wall I wanted it to be functional AND cute.

Thanks to my mad crafting skills I finally have one.

And I must admit...I'm a little smitten with it.

I went to Saver's and bought a large framed print for $9.99. I took out the print and created this individualized chore chart for the whole family using scrapbook paper and embellishments.

The glass works as a white board which makes the whole process quick and easy.

Now I can tell my kids AND husband what to do in style.

Plus, there is a spot just for love notes and positive praise.

Feelin' kinda giddy!

LET THE CHORES BEGIN!
