Exception

Is it wrong to wonder if you can be an exception to the rule with time changes? Kale and I are really not looking forward to this one. The kids have been getting up earlier and earlier and staying up later and later.....shouldn't that be switched somehow?

They must smell the big impeding change of the baby coming soon. Why else would they all of a sudden change their routines, habits, and sometimes even their personalities?

Birthday Countdown

Well, imagine that. Once again we are in Birthday countdown mode. Judge is ubber excited that he only has 16 days, even though that is still tooo long. Raiden is happy as well that now it is only 18 days till his. I am not sure of all the plans they have in their little heads, but I know for sure that they will be excited with the day we have planned. On the Saturday after their birthdays we are taking a trip to Las Vegas to go to the Lied Children's Museum. It is one of those that everything is totally hands on. The kids have been once or twice and think it is just dynamite!

There is everything from giant bubble makers (meaning the bubbles encase the children) to the electric ball that makes their hair stand on end. Who doesn't want to play with that?

Date Night

Well, Kale and I are taking a plunge tonight.

I finally found someone brave enough to take on our three "angel's" tonight. It can be a daunting task.

We will either stick around Mesquite and go to a movie or to dinner, or we might even go for the gusto and drive to St. George for an adventure of our own.

Either way it will be nice not to have the boys around, and have a peaceful dinner.

They can be a lot of fun, but eventually having the place we eat at decided by who has the best playgrounds available gets a little old. Del Taco, McDonald's, Burger King or Carl's Jr.'s. Let's put it this way...Burger..Burger...Burger...Taco?! What great choices!

Happy Birthday's and Valentines

We had a semi successful Valentine's day this year. It always makes it a little challenging to have Kale's birthday and that day all rolled together. We made the "wise" choice I do believe of putting off going out to dinner til next week. It gets so crazy in this little town on Valentine's day. All the different buffet's and restaurants have their specials and it is nutty. We passed a line of cars waiting to get into the Eureka. It was two blocks long.

The boys were excited though to give Kale his presents that they picked out. He received shorts from them. In their varying ranges of choice colors, maroon and black from Ender, black and blue from Judge, and gold and black from Raiden (to which Kale said gooooo Emery!). And finally against my better judgement a computer game from me. It was the only thing he wanted...so he got it...

The boys loved their Valentine gifts (yes we do gifts instead of candy) of a jump rope for Raiden, and giant bubble wand for Judge, and a car for Ender. Ender also adopted/took ownership of the gift Kale gave me. It is a giant Valentine caterpillar. Ender loves, loves, loves giant stuffed animals of all sorts and he has proudly commandeered my recent acquisition.


So Happy 33rd to you Kale, and Happy Valentine's Day to the rest of us!...

It's getting there

Well we are about there. I went to my doctors this week and the end is in sight. My due date is May 5th, but if things keep progressing the way they are, and we assume they will, he will definitely start me at least a week early!

Soon baby, soon!

Merry Christmas!

Well Christmas is just around the corner. We are so excited to see many of you. Many we wont see but we wish you well!

By the time we see you we will know who keeps up with the blog and who doesn't
Merry Christmas!

Thankful for..

Well I am certainly thankful for my three boys. Ender is getting to be such a BOY. He isn't a toddler at all. He wants to do what big boys do and you just can't tell him differently. Judge is precious. He loves playing with his soccer team. Yesterday he scored 5 goals for his team. They won 5 to 1. He is such an aggressive little slugger. Raiden just melts my heart at times. He is reading books with REAL sentences he says. Not just simple words. It makes me realize that he is growing up so fast. To think six years ago he was just a baby in my arms...
