Today was a super start to the weekend. Today was our annual Easter Egg hunt. It was a blast. They limited you to 10 eggs because in the past years some kids will have 50 eggs and others will have 1. So because this is such a BIG event they finally figured out to have a limit. Faith had a blast. Max and Ben ran around like crazy people till the hunt started. They get so excited when they get to spend time together. Millie had mixed feelings she wanted to just play with the other kids her size. All in all was fun. Brandon didnt get to go because he had soccer practice but we just gave him all of Faiths eggs. And he was completely fine with that. She did the work and he gets the reward. Sounds fair. Doesnt it?

Well our Ben decided today that he was going to give himself a hair cut. Even though last Friday I took him and got him a perfectly good haircut at Great Clips. I didnt notice it at first but then while we were waiting on Brandon to get out of school I noticed it. I looked at him and he knew I knew before I said anything. His lip started quivering and he just started sobbing uncontrollably and saying sorry mommy , sorry mommy. I cant believe it. I guess because I keep their hair so short it wasnt as noticeable. He was so upset I really didnt have to say anything. Then when I told him I was gonna take a picture he was like PLEASE dont show anybody. I'm not showing anybody. Am I?

SMILE!!!!!!!
Faith is so funny and so onery. I dont know "where" she gets it from. She will literally just crack up with a huge belly laugh out of nowhere. She plays peek a boo with us but she will only do it on the side of the bed. She ducks down or lays all the way on her tummy then hops up real fast and then falls to the floor again. We can play that game for about 15 minutes. Really wears her out.
Another thing she does is she no longer wants any type of baby or toddler food, she wants the real stuff. If you give her a baby fruit snack, or that dried fruit stuff. She will taste it with the tip of her tongue and if she doesnt like it she will launch it across the room, put her hands in her lap and calmly wait for you to give her something else. At 1 years old this girl can eat a taco (hard shell) salad, brocolli, she tries to bite into an apple and gets mad when she cant get a real bite. She doesnt want to drink from a sippy cup she wants to drink from a straw or a regular cup but cant hold either without spilling it. So we see lots of fits thrown over that one. She is little miss independent and wants to do things her own way. Sometimes good, sometimes not. Now I definately know what they mean when they say girls are different than boys and this is just the beginning.

Ok so I am being allowed a couple of minutes to blog. My kids have taken over any extra time I once had. Now that it is getting warmer we are spending most of our extra time outside. Brandon is learning alot in school about making the right food choice. And making the right choice to go outside and play instead of sitting in front of the tv all the time. Not that my kids do that. Brandon and Ben always choose going outside first. Brandon wants us to make the right choices so we can be healthy and be together forever. We have been walking Brandon too school everyday and me and Ben explore on the way home. And have some quality time just to talk. On the days Ben has school me and Brandon get some quality talking time. Brandon says " Mommy I like it when we just get to talk it makes me feel special like you actually care what I have to say".
They seem to be growing up so fast that I am trying to get better at my time managment. And make our time together quality time. I dont want my kids to ever be like mom you are always too busy to talk to me.

I am having mixed feelings about this whole third child thing. In one way it is really nice that she is so good especially when I need her to be. Like for instance this weekend we went to the movies with Faith and she was so good. She actually sat on my lap and watched the movie. I was all worried I would be walking around outside while everyone else got to watch the movie. Not the case at all. But other times I cant believe the stuff she is already doing. She has been able to get off the bed for awhile. She did it all on her own. She crawls to the end, turns around and backs down. Today she was sitting in the small lazyboy (we get the giant-size box of goldfish) and she was sticking her hand in the box and eating crackers one at a time. She can already go up and down the stairs. When she wants something she literally goes to whatever she wants and stands by it and points if I dont get the correct thing she gives me this disapproving look and stomps her foot as if to say that is not what I am asking for. This picture is of Faith sitting in a fold up chair in front of the tv just like I am a big girl.

Happy Birthday Josh!!!! Sorry you have to work today. Hope you have a wonderful day.
A friend of his is taking him out to lunch today. Plus it is a really super nice day today so maybe that will make it a little better. The kids and I got him a couple of presents that he opened this morning before work. He actually forgot it was his birthday. At least he has a loving wife and three loving kids that helped remind him. Plus he is in a super good mood because he got his English paper back and he got an A on it. If anyone remembers Josh was not very good at English. Anyways since he went back to school he is doing very well. Pretty exciting with all that he has on his plate all the time.

What a weekend. Faith got her 1 year shots and did pretty good with that. She now weighs 20 pounds so is in a big girl carseat and can be turned around. We had her birthday party on Saturday along with Josh's which means double the cake. Her theme was My Little Pony as you can see she got her own little cake and did a good job on it she ate about half of it and I made a cake for Josh which everyone told me was good. I thought it was good also. And we headed to the mall on Sunday to give Josh some time to do some homework which has been piling up. So it was nice. My sister Jamie came with us to help me with the kids. Ben walks super slow so I am constantly turning around to make sure he is still behind me and Brandon walks fast so by the end of a trip I feel like I have whiplash. So Jamie helped alot. And I ended up getting me and Faith some shoes. That is always nice to have a little help. Now I am ready to relax it is nice we have one more day to this weekend. Cause I have a house to clean, laundry to do and prepare for another week full of dentist, doctor, and speech appointments. Not to mention soccer sign up, swimming lessons, and Josh's actual birthday which is next Friday.
