Isabelle

So Isabelle is my good little singer. She just loves to sing "Jesus Wants Me for A Sunbeam" and "Popcorn Popping". She loves to do the actions and everything. Lots of times we will catch her singing in the car or in bed or just playing. We decided that we really needed to get it on video so we got our cool camera out and tried. We love our little singer.

My Mason

My Mason is the sweetest little buddies ever. He has the sweetest temperment. Don't get me wrong there are times when he goes crazy and gets mad, but he is easily subdued. He is so good at playing and entertaining himself. He loves Izzy and always gives the best hugs, and kisses.

The other day I was reading on the couch and the kids were playing and Mason came up to me and was talking to me. I wasn't paying much attention, but when It finally registered what he said I asked him what he said, a little in shock I might add, and he said "You're the best mommy ever." I told him he is the best Mason ever. Now every once in awhile he will come up and say it to me and I give the same reply.

Sometimes, most of the time, I think I am the worst mommy ever. It made me feel like I wasn't doing so bad that day. I didn't even have to coerice it out of him. I really love my Mason. It is a good thing he was first.

Forever since I've posted

It has really been forever since I have posted or since I have checked others blogs. I feel like I have nothing to post or when the kids do something cute, I think I should post that and then just forget. Lately Mason and Isabelle have done the silliest and sweetest things.

Isabelle is a very independent little girl. Lately she has been putting on my socks and shoes. I have a few pair of wool socks that I wear around the house because our tile and house is always freezing. It is hilarious to come out and see her trying to walk around in my shoes.

Mason and Isabelle think it is great fun to play in every single closet in our house. One day I was in the living room watching TV and the kids were in the play room playing. It started to get really quite so I decided they could only be up to no good so I went and checked on them and this is what I saw....

They were both chillin in the closet. Isabelle was reading, of course, and Mason was just chilaxon. I laughed. Oh yeah, notice the maker on the closet door? Yeah both my closet and the closet in this room have sharper all over the backsides. Hopefully before we move I can get it cleaned.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. I hope all had a great day. We didn't do to much. I made cookies on Thursday and they are to die for. I made a dozen of them like conversation hearts. Isabelle's was special, it said "Big Giant." When Izzy wants a hug she comes up and says "Big Giant" Then she squeezes as tight as she can. They are my favorite hugs in the world.

Izzy with her cookie not on Valentines day.

I was going to make the kids heart shaped pancakes for breakfast, but Isabelle insisted on having cereal, and since mom could barely get out of bed, I opted to just give her what she wanted. For lunch I made them heart shaped grilled cheese (yummy). Of course they didn't eat much, my kids eat like birds, but they were cute anyways.

I made sure that Isabelle was as cute as could be so I put her hair in curlers for the first part of the day and after that she had the cutest curly hair. We didn't do much that night because finding a babysitter on Valentines day is pretty much impossible and so we just hung out with the kids. We went out to eat on the following Monday with the kids instead.

"Our House"

Well my sister in law Melissa who is on a mission has been begging me to send her pictures of our new house. No we didn't buy a house, but we are renting a house in Logan. We absolutely love it, and compared to what we were living in it is a palace. Before we moved here we lived in student housing it was two small bedrooms and one tiny bathroom. It was total of 750 square feet. Those of you who check my blog and have lived in USU housing you know exactly what I am talking about.


Our Huge Kitchen that actually has countertops.

We now live in a house that has 3 huge bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car garage (probably the best feature), and a good sized fenced in backyard. We love it very much. There are a few quirks about it that I could live without, but I am so grateful for the extra space.
These two pictures are th views from the front door.


Top is the kids bathroom, the bottom is the spare bedroom or the toy room.




Top: The kids room Bottom: the master bedroom from it's door, You see the sliding glass door leading to the backyard. It is the only way to the backyard from the house. There is a door from the garage door as well.

The master bathroom

Bottom the master bathroom shower. Notice the bar in the shower. This house is handicapp excessible and that is why we have a shower and not tube shower. It is huge and the kids love taking showers in it with all their cars.

The two car garage that is used for one car and a ton of storage.
