My Own Computer - March 31, 2008

Monday - March 31st

I got a new computer!! It is so exciting!! This is my very own computer. I don't have to share with anybody. It is great!.................but...............there is one not great thing. My new computer has vista on it. I like the vista, but I don't like how nothing will work with the vista. My printer (which I bought not that long ago) won't work with the vista. My favorite scrapbooking program also will not work with the vista. I'm also having a hard time getting my Kodak program working. The Kodak program is really frustrating, because it works just fine on my husbands computer (he has vista), but for some reason I can't get it to work on mine. I really like to post pictures, but I won't be able to for a while, until I get everything straightened out.

Playing Santa - March 28, 2008

Friday - March 28th

Parker and Brinley were being so cute tonight.  I went upstairs to check on them and they were taking turns pretending to be Santa Claus.  They would sit down on "Santa's" lap, then "Santa" would say, "Ho. Ho. Ho. What do you want for Christmas?"  Then the one playing Santa would give the other an imaginary gift.  They would pretend to open the gift and tell each other what they got.  It was too cute!

 Alissa has been coloring a lot lately.  She wanted a way to display all of her pictures, so we started hanging them on the wall in her bedroom.  She did a good job.

Super Heroes - March 25, 2008

Tuesday - March 25th

The kids had fun playing dress up today.  Parker wanted me to get a picture of him flying through the air, so I had him jump off the couch for a flying picture.  The girls wanted to try also.  So, I sat there and took pictures as the kids jumped off the couch.

Easter - March 23, 2008

Sunday - March 23rd

Happy Easter!  It was so fun to watch the kids find their Easter baskets and look through all the stuff they got.  They were so funny as they pulled everything out and talked about how excited they were about each item.

 Later in the day, when the kids tired of eating candy and playing with their other little toys, they all sat around the card table and tried to put their puzzles together.

Playing at Roger's Elementary School - March 22, 2008

Saturday - March 22nd

Roger took us to play on the playground at the elementary school he used to go to.  He went to William Penn Elementary in Holladay, Utah.  The school does not look the same and the playground is different.  They knocked down the old school and built a new one.  The kids had a lot of fun playing on the playground and it was really fun to hear Roger's stories from his childhood.  We walked around a little and he pointed out places he used to go and told us memories he had from those places.  I love going for walks "down memory lane".

Playing at the School Playground - March 20, 2008

Thursday - March 20th

We had a lot of fun playing at the school playground today.  I love living close to a playground.  It's nice since we can't afford a lot of outside toys of our own.  Roger took the basketball over with us so we could play a Seven-on-the-Line then he could shoot some hoops on his own.

Happy St. Patrick's Day - March 17, 2008

Singing the Jimmy Song and Playing in the Snow - March 16, 2008

Sunday - March 16th

Alissa loves the "Jimmy song", as she calls it, from Saturday's Warriors.  I took some pictures and a video of her singing along with it.  She is too cute!

 After church, the kids were so excited to be outside and have a chance to run around.  It was hard for me to get them to come inside.

Missy's New House - March 12, 2008

Wednesday - March 12th
It's been a few days since I last posted anything. My niece came to spend the weekend with us. We had a lot of fun. We planned on making a funny video to post, but I just couldn't get the energy.

I just went to the store and bought a lot of craft things. Now I have a lot of activities to do with my children and the children that I babysit. I just thought I would post something before all the kids get here. We will be making lots of crafts for the next few days.
It will be fun, messy, and tiring.

We went to see Missy and Mikal's new house last Thursday.  She asked me to post the pictures that I took.  Unfortunately, I waited to long and somehow I managed to lose a lot of the pictures.  Here are the ones that I didn't lose.  I'm frustrated because I took a lot more and a lot better pictures than these.

I love My Children - March 3, 2008

Monday - March 3rd

 We babysat TJ and Hunter today.

I just want to show you all what cute children I have. Whenever I dress Brinley in a skirt she tells me that she is a princess. I also think the face that she makes when she tells me "No" is really cute.

Parker is really funny. He loves to build stuff and he is always telling me and showing me how strong he is. He say's "I strong. Daddy strong. Mommy not strong." I finally convinced him that mommy is strong also.

Alissa got some new skates today. She was so excited. She really wanted me to take a video of her. She is so funny.

Monster Dog - March 2, 2008

Sunday - March 2nd

Alissa and Brinley were playing one of their favorite games, so I took some pictures. The game is called "Monster Dog!" Archie is the monster dog. He follows the kids when ever they start running. So the kids start running and screaming and he chases after them. They play this game a lot.

The kids ate some chocolate right before they started playing, so they all have chocolate on their faces.

  Parker didn't play "monster dog" with Brinley and Alissa this time. Instead, he was in the living room building stuff with stools and chairs.  Parker's favorite was his stool creation.

 When Brinley and Alissa got tired of running, they joined Parker in the living room.  They made a chair sculpture.
