Spring Is Here!!!!!!!!!!!

Waking up early is wonderful, it is quiet and peaceful in my home. I really do need to go and wake up Nathaniel so he can get ready for school, but I think that I will let him sleep in a bit longer this morning! :) Sometimes you just need a few moments to relax!

I am loving the weather outside it is so beautiful, I think that my body has been really needing to soak up the suns rays, and feel the warmth of a sunny day, not to mention it is wonderful to go out and let the boys play out side! I Love the fresh air and the birds singing, and all the plants when the start coming alive! YEAH!!! Spring is one of my most favorite seasons. Time to get out and start working on the yard to do some landscaping, we need to take down the old fencing and put up some new. We have to be getting this done ASAP!! Caleb is a little wanderer, so the backyard has got to be fenced in! Then I've got to get the tiller and till up the garden spot so that Nathaniel and I can get a garden going this year, I want to have yummy fresh veggies, and Nathaniel needs to do it for his scouts requirement. Spring brings such a fun time of the year. Happy Spring to everyone!

Destruction= NEW BATHROOM

I am so excited we are finally going to remodel our bathroom, it is along time coming!! It has actually been fun doing the demolition!!! I can't wait until we are done! Here are a few photos of our bathroom, being destroyed!! YEAH!!!!

Tonight was Nathaniel's Blue and Gold Dinner for Scouts, we had a blast. The theme for the evening was "Wild Wild West" The boys decorated cakes for a contest, they arrested Lighting Jack, the all got marshmallow guns, and they became honorary deputies for the evening, we had a great time..

Smile for the camera, and then go and catch the "outlaw. Lighting Jack"

These are the cakes that we made, they turned out good. Mr. Cow and Mr. Sheep...

Caleb loves to go into the bathroom and get into lotion, he thinks that it is shampoo.. Last night I was cleaning things up and wasn't pay attention like I should have, and he got a hold of the lotion, he decided that he needed to wash his hair with it.. I heard Nathaniel yell to me to come and see what Caleb was doing in the bathroom. Caleb was up on the counter, looking in the mirror and saying "washa washa washa!" he was having a grand old time. All that I could do was look at him a laugh! This is him showing how proud he was that he was washing his hair.. He even asked me if he was doing a good job.

On a side note, Last night when we were saying our evening prayers, Caleb wanted to say it and he said the funnest thing. "Dear Heavenly Father bless us with marbles." James and I just laughed after the prayer, because of the way he said it. He was probably right though we do need a few more marbles :) LOL

Look I washed my hair.. Yeah..

Caleb is so funny, he wanted his picture taken, and he played it up as you can see.. He is so cute...

Cheeseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Look at me mom...

Happy Valentines Day...

Mr. Bug..

Yesterday was a very fun day for our family. I have made it a tradition to heart attack my boys, and to do something fun for them on Valentines Day! I decided that I would go to Ben Franklin's and get the Hearts cut out, so that they would actually look like hearts. Last year I cut them out by hand and some of them were a little deformed! Friday night after my boys were fast asleep I wrote on all of the hearts fun notes, and stuck them up on the door in their room, on the mirrors in our room and in the bathroom. I got Nathaniel and Caleb a cute stuffed animal and left it on the floor near the hearts.

The next morning I woke up to hear Nathaniel and Caleb squealing at finding the toy and hearts, they both came running in and jumped on me and gave me big hugs and kisses, Caleb was holding his stuffed animal, and looked up at me and said "MOMMY LOOK AT MY BUG, ISN'T IT SO COOOOOL." It was fun to see their reactions, they loved it. I loved it, we had fun playing around yesterday, we made cookies and spent some time with my Grandpa..

Birthday Present...

These are the beautiful flowers.. I love the colors.

My new do..

My sweet, sweet sister Amy called me last week on my birthday and said " Melissa for your gift Munich and I want to pay to have to go and get your hair cut and colored. " I was so excited, because I do hair, and I usually do my own hair, yes that is right I cut and color it myself. But today was an awesome day for me!! I went today and got my hair done and it was so nice, I got to the salon and walk in , my sister had it planned that the stylist (a friend) would have flowers for me, they were so beautiful. She told me that they were from my sister, I almost started to cry, how sweet, that really made my day, not only did I get pampered and got my hair done but I got flowers too!! I love coming home from getting my hair done and I don't have to fix what they have done... She is one of only two people I like doing my hair. I like my hair to be done a certain way, I know I am too picky!! Probably because I do hair and I know when it isn't right!!

Any way enough of my rambling on and on, Amy and Munich thanks for the wonderful gift, I really needed to be pampered! I love you both so much.

Finally....

Happy Birthday Mom, the big 32 My boys surprised me with this cute

card, it had a sweet message recorded on it and a song.. I loved it..

Chantel this is the only photo I have that shows the length of my hair, I will have to

have James take a pic.. I look so lovely, I haven't been putting any makeup on

because I haven't been feeling the best, so hopefully I don't scare anyone!!

Caleb and Isaac having fun playing, Isaac is up staying with grandma, and grandpa.

Caleb kept trying to pick Isaac up, finally he relented and decided that

wasn't going to be able to do it.

Buds..

Caleb loves to help around the house, he wanted to vacuum for me.

don't you love that look..

Caleb loves to take pic of himself, he gets ahold of the camera and

then when I copy the photos to the computer, I find these.

Nathaniel got sunglasses Caleb wanted to put them on, He wanted to see me with them on,

so he put them on me,

but he took them off me just as fast and put them on him.

Daddy and Caleb time..

cuddle time.

Well I am finally able to get on here and post something... It seems that the past few weeks have been crazy. Time flies by way to fast, I can't believe that this month is almost gone, does anyone else feel that way? Our family is doing good, Nathaniel was able to go skiing with his class this week and had a blast, I wasn't sure that he would enjoy skiing but when he came home from his trip he said "that was sooooooooo fun I want to go again!" I was pleasantly surprised I suppose that I will have to look into getting a pass for him if he is really interested! He has been doing well in school and loves to learn! Caleb is a little monkey boy, he never stops going, running all over the place, jumping off things, climbing everything, I can follow him around from one thing to another, picking up after him. His newest thing to say is "Whats that all about mom?" He is our comic relief in our home.. He has a contagious smile..

James is doing good, he is always working, I love him and so glad that he is here for me!! Things are going okay for me, I've been a little under the weather,but have been crazy busy with family, doing hair and Young Women's. Life never slows down, I've decided that I need to stop and enjoy it before it is gone, and my boys are grown.
