St. Patty's Day
The kids had a lot of fun on St. Patty's Day. When they woke in the morning they found that a leprechaun had stopped at our house overnight to use their potty! They were determined to get to Daddy before he put his green on so they could pinch him so I let him in on their little secret so he could play along. They got such a kick out of that! We also made green eggs and green milk with breakfast, and green enchiladas for dinner and green rice krispie treats for dessert:) A leprechaun also visited Lily's classroom at school and made quite the mess but left all the kids pots of gold w/treats.

Jax is 4!
Our sweet, silly guy just turned 4! I can't believe how much he has grown up this past year. He makes us smile and laugh everyday and brings so much joy to our lives. Here are a few pictures from his special day:

Snow and Such
You would think that living in Utah for 3 years would have cured us of getting excited about snow but...the kids were SO happy to wake up to a dusting of snow last weekend. They rushed to get on their snow boots and jackets, pink eye and all, and play in the "snow" for a bit.
I forgot to post a picture of the adorable Valentine's bookmarks Lily made for all her friends at school...better late than never I guess
We checked on our garden yesterday and to our surprise we actually had something edible!
Lily brought home a newspaper from school last week called KIND News that is all about animals and the environment. I watched as she began to read an article on how baby seals are hunted and saw her mouth open, her hand go to her heart, and tears start to well up in her eyes. We talked about it and what an awful thing it is that people do and it brought her to tears. This sweet little Angel of mine has such a kind heart and could not understand why anyone would want to do anything so awful. There were two addresses in the newspaper that you could write to and tell them how you feel and so she did:
I suppose that's all for now...
