Twilight was released!!!

Nice looking vampires...LOL!!! We all agreed Grandma's teeth were creepy!

Grandma Berni has heard more about Edward Cullen and Twilight than she could ever wish too. Grandma was just not getting it. Stormie is any typical teenage girl at this time, enthralled with a young handsome vampire. She has been counting down the days until it was released on home DVD. She babysat Friday night and was quite excited to purchase the movie Saturday after the birthday party. I commented "maybe, if we have time and I bet they will all be sold out so let's just wait a few days." Not the answer she wanted! She was not happy with me. However, Grandma Berni knew of her admiration(after hearing about it continually) and had purchased the movie first thing Saturday morning, along with treats for a surprise movie Twilight party. I bought the girls a couple of posters they had wanted and Sayger a Twilight package of pins to distribute. Grandma went to Twin on a mission to find vampire teeth and finally hit the jackpot at Poindexters. I told the kids she was coming because she was feeling bad, she hadn't spent any time with them over spring break. In the door she walked with vampire teeth.... It took a few minutes, but as soon as I walked around the corner with posters Stormie caught on and the excitement began!!! They watched the movie on the big screen and I even allowed the treats to go downstairs(that NEVER happens). Grandma now fully understands Stormies obsession with Twilight and agrees that Edward is a hero!

Birthday Party Dress Up!!

Saturday we were invited to a birthday party for a friend. The theme of the party was a "Sock Hop." The kids all dressed up and they looked so darn cute. We had a poodle skirt for Stormie, she wore it a few Halloweens ago. Brandy made one for Shandler so she wouldn't be left out. And check out Sayger...too cool. They had the party behind Al's Pizza, in the old soda shop and it was perfect. Stormie did face painting for the kids, they watched parts of Grease, had a drag race with hot wheel cars, had a dance off and listened to music from the 50's! Of course they had cake and ice cream and watched Mykala open her presents too. My children had a great time and I loved how cute they looked!!

The Golfer!!

The day was perfect. I dressed Sayger in a turtleneck with a long sleeved collared shirt(which is part of the Country Clubs rules). He said he golfed so hard he was sweating. Sayger loves time with his dad and I know his dad loves time with him too! Besides Sayger had to do something manly after spending two days shopping with his sisters and mom:)

Golfing with my dad!

Last week Kent mentioned he would like a few nice days during Spring break to go golfing. Last Saturday was beautiful, but I enlisted the crew to clean up the yard and clean out flower beds. So Sayger had a plan. Thursday morning they would take the sisters up to ski and he and his dad would go and golf. So that is exactly what they did.

Utah JAZZ!

We loved the game! We sat in the upper deck and it wasn't super close but they loved it. The atmosphere, the crowd, the treats, the Jazz bear. They loved to watch the talent of the players and really got into it. Sayger said he loved it all!! They felt famous being there! It was a good time!

Maddox!!!

On Monday I asked the kids to help with Spring cleaning.... I asked them to clean their bedrooms, closets, etc. along with helping me clean the house. I bribed them with a shopping trip for a new Spring outfit, Sayger a new toy. We polished the oak throughout the house, baseboards, door frames, doors, kitchen and bathroom cupboards. If you have seen my house you know about the wood trim-ALOT of it!!! As we were diligently cleaning, Dad came out of his office and announced he could get tickets for us to go to a Jazz game in Utah on Tuesday. YEA!!!! We cleaned like crazy(everyone pitching in and asking what needed completed next), finished laundry and packed. On the way to Salt Lake, the next day, we stopped at Maddox for lunch. It was the first time our children have eaten there, they weren't really sure of our choice until we pulled into the parking lot and they could see all of the cars. They loved the rolls, the raspberry butter, Sayger's lunch was served on a frisbee(which thrilled him), Stormie had a huge hamburger(1/2 lb. and ate it all) and Shandler tried chicken fried steak(for the first time). It was delicious and I bet this will become a stopping point while traveling to Utah from now on.

Spring clean up....

With spring came a haircut for Sayger Max! Time to clean up the long shaggy hair. I don't know who it bothers more his dad or me. I can't stand the hair hanging over his ears! He tolerates haircuts but they are not his favorite! He would rather let it grow.

Spring Break!!!

Of course! The first night of Spring Break and they want to stay up late watching the Disney channel and have a sleepover together on the air mattress! So here they are all three and the next day they were all exhausted because they stayed up too late, did not sleep in their beds, and were not comfortable. They had fun and these are the things that make being a kid memorable!

Update and Change

Sayger's room-entrance

Master bedroom

Bathroom

Anyone that knows me well, knows that I love to update and change my house. I move furniture, paint, redecorate, etc. I like to see things done differently(Look at the various hairstyles and colors I have had over the years). I have a dear friend that has a vinyl lettering business. I found a few sayings I liked and had her design some ideas for me. A couple of weekends ago I made a trip to Lowes, bought paint brushes, had Stormie dig out our paint cans and went to work. We filled holes in the wall from nails that held pictures, took out a very large mirror in the bathroom, replaced it with cute framed mirrors, touched up paint and repainted a few walls. After some time drying I rubbed on the vinyl lettering( which takes a fair amount of patience). I have to say it all turned out great and I love it! If you are interested I can give you her number and you can contact her. She does a great job and the prices are reasonable.
