Max loses another tooth!

Max has lost his 4 bottom front teeth and finally he has lost one of the top front teeth. The one next to it is pretty loose as well so he might have one of those goofy toothless smiles pretty soon! I think that would be pretty cute! So listen to what a fabulous mom I am, NOT. I totally forgot to leave money under his pillow! I am such a loser! I was totally studying for a big test I had to take and I guess my thoughts were completely consumed by this test that I forgot about being the tooth fairy. Well in my quick thinking I told Max that the tooth fairy left it for him so that he could take it to school to show his friends because he had been saying he wished he could do that and to put it under his pillow again tonight so she can leave him some money for it. I think he bought it but WOW did I feel like a jerk! Someone better call me tonight and remind me, I don't want to go down as the worst mom ever!!

Pinewood Derby

Last night was Gage's first Pinewood Derby. He came home a little disappointed because he didn't make it into the finals but only 5 out of 15 boys did. The Cubmaster made little trophy stands for all of the boys and Gage got the shiniest paint job award. This was a great award for him because before the car even had it's first coat of paint he said he wanted a shiny paint job. Gage and Blake put a lot of work into the car and had fun together doing it. Overall, this was a great experience and we're looking forward to next year. Blake already has some plans in the works!

Spring fever??

I cannot wait for Spring to kick in! The weather here in Salt Lake City is totally teasing us though. One day it is warm (Okay not really all that warm, like upper 50's but you do start to see the shorts and tanks come out at that temperature. Crazy, huh?!) and then just yesterday it snowed! Have I mentioned before that I am sooooo over the snow? I am so ready for real Spring weather that I even started a little Spring cleaning, okay alot of Spring cleaning. Blake will make his third trip to DI (like a Salvation Army) tomorrow, and they weren't small loads either. Just out of my closet alone there were four trash bags of clothes! Then we cleaned out every single closet in the house and did a major overhaul on our bedroom and the office. The house is looking great though. I've come to realize if I haven't used it or worn it in the two years we've been here I probably never will.

What have we gotten ourselves into????

OMG! The other day Eliza was throwing a fit about getting milk for some reason and I told her that I would not get her any until she asked me nicely. Well she didn't want to but I wasn't budging either, I just kept telling her to ask me nicely. So she finally said (as she rolled her eyes no less), "Oh fine, can I have some milk please, blah, blah, blah...". Those were her exact words! My jaw dropped! I couldn't believe my sweet little THREE year old was talking to me like that. Where did she get the whole blah, blah blah thing and to use it in context even??? Then today at church she told me that I didn't have on a good outfit and informed me that I wasn't crossing my legs right. What??? Now I'm getting fashion and etiquette advice from my three year old! Oh dear, I think we are headed for big trouble with this girl. And to think that people used to tell us that she would end up being a tomboy with two rough and rowdy older brothers like Gage and Max. Boy were they wrong, she is anything but!! She is definitely girly!

Do you love my new background??

I just wanted to let everyone know about a great new website that I was told about. It is matiekay.blogspot.com She has great blogspot templates and for FREE, can't beat that! There aren't 100's to choose from like some other websites but the ones she does have are cute and she is always adding more and she even has holiday ones. The best part is that it doesn't screw up your blog set up. I tried pyzam and WHOA, I freaked because half of everything I had on there was gone!! The only thing I had to do using Matie Kay's templates was rearrange my page elements, no big deal. To make things even better, she herself rocks! I had one tiny little glitch that I emailed her about (my slideshow widgets were wanting to be deleted) and she emailed me back within hours and fixed it and didn't even ask for any sort of compensation for her time. How awesome is that! If you are looking for a cute background and easy installation check out her website.

Our Easter

It's been a while since my last post, the time just gets away from you! The whole family is doing great. We just got back from Cedar City. Blake's dad and stepmom live down there and we go there every year for Easter. We had a great time! We went and saw Horton Hears a Who, went shopping in St. George, hung out with our good friends the Bartons, and of course the boys did a little dirtbike riding! The kids had a wonderful Easter. We dyed eggs on Saturday night and frosted some Easter cookies and on Sunday they woke up to find gifts and candy in their Easter baskets and then we went to church. While we were at church Blake said to the kids, "mom is going to ride home with grandpa, I want to go show you the house where I grew up." Gage's reply was, "yeah right, she's going home to hide the eggs!" What a little stinker! Pretty soon he won't believe in Santa anymore either. Oh well, it gave us a good laugh! So I did end up going and hiding the eggs while they had a nice walk home, and when they got there they had their long awaited egg hunt. There was probably 120+ eggs between the three of them but that's Grandma Bobbie for you, she loves to make sure they have enough and plenty of fun too! We hope everyone had as fabulous an Easter as we did.
