{break}

T is on spring break this week. We used to skip town for such a big occasion, but with a move up ahead, we are keeping our pennies in the piggy bank, & laying low. The zoo, or maybe the museum are penciled into this weeks agenda, but other then that & a few soccer practices/games, we are wearing clothes that dont match very well & not washing our faces as much as we probably should. Relaxing is nice now & then. I think our little ones think so. No early morning drives to school, or nap-interupting runs to pick T up. No need to look put together, or care that the boys smell a bit funny. (because boys do that sometimes. smell funny.)

{I love technology...}

Yesterday some friends facetimed us via iphone. We saw the little cutie Weston & talked to Charlie about the upcoming birth of their 1st daughter, Allee. We have been friends for years & years & years. Its deffinitly a treat to see each other even if on opposite sides of the country.

Thanks apple for making this possible.

{Our Buddy Boone}

Had a big 1st birthday bash. We were lucky enough to be invited & play with all our friends, eat cake, beat the snot out of a piniata, & snuggle baby Boone. We love you Whiting Family!

{Welcome Spring}

{watching}

Today I watched my husband play with these ones in the yard...






He loves them so much. He is always teaching them something. Today it was lacrosse & soccer, other days its basketball. He somehow knows how to give each of our 4 attention so no one feels left out. He Is incredibly patient with the fits, & the fights. At night he reads from the scriptures to us. He drives Tre to school in the morning & they have fun practicing multiplication & division. His daughter is his "Diddy" I dont know what the means, but her eyes light up in a way that tells me...she may love him best of all. & I am okay with that. He works hard for us & handles stress like a champ. He is optomistic & faithful. The guy never has a mean thing to say about anyone. & as for me...he still wishes me a happy anniversary of the 19th. The day we strated dating. He will go out at 9pm to get me a treat even though I can kind-a tell he wants to watch that basketball game. He tells me I am pretty in the mornings, messy hair, make-up-less, bad breath & all.
I kind-a love him a lot for being an all around great guy!
Thanks Hubs!

--on a completly unrelated note--

check out THIS FUNNY VIDEO our friends made about the med school.

sure gonna miss this time in our lives.

{day care feild trip}

We wore our green, & hoped for luck today.
The kids & I joined our friends at the park for the prettiest day of 2011 yet. We ate treats, collecxted lepercaun gold. The boys were filthy, just the way they should be.
Us girls talked about when we were all leaving. May seems to be the month for just about all the Med families in the ward. I find it easier to avoid the idea of hugging these ladies goodbye. So for now I remain in denial.

I wont even go into that dark place yet.
Take a look at the picture below--lots of kids. & we were missing 1/2 the families too! we were asked what day care we were from. we laughed pretty hard over that question. & even harder when we explained they were all ours.

& the "daycare staff"....


Today was a big day. I know I was pretty confident we would know where the heck we were headed by the end of the week. but yay for us...more waiting. -blah-. Some things are under way & well, we are excited, but impatient. which is probably why we are being given this---to learn patience. But today was a good day by way of figuring things out. We feel very deeply loved by our Father in Heaven.

&....because a day cannot go by without a few shots of our Miss Priss...
She is my lucky charm (the boys too of course!)

Hope you irish all got kissed!
