Easter

This post is way late, so I won't write a ton. Our Easter was fun, the nicest part was having Jamie home almost all day! Here is Sarah, her eyes are actually open!
Here is Jamie and Abi, how sweet right?

Gracie posing it up before the big hunt.

I really tried my best to get a picture before church and this was the best one. Sad, I know but getting Sarah to keep her eyes open is harder than it would seem!

TV

So I am a little late on some good TV. I have now seen probably just about every That 70's show episode courtesy of a channel on comcast called the N. They have marathons of this show pretty much every night. I love this show, and never watched it when it was on. And a few weeks ago Jamie and I went to the video store and of course there was nothing there to rent so we decided to rent Lost. We have totally been hooked. We watch 2-3 episodes a night. So far it is really good. But here is my latest complaint about TV. I recorded In The Motherhood. Have any of you watched this? I thought it looked funny, I missed the first week but recorded the second. From what I could tell this show is about a mom with a full time nanny and another mom with two spoiled rich kids. Is this motherhood? I absolutally love being a mom but was completely disgusted by this show. Why are such good shows canceled(pushing daisies) and such crap on? I shouldn't really care so much but since having children Jamie and I do watch more tv because after they go to bed we are stuck at home. Now sure I know I could be doing something productive, like reading, cleaning, learning something new. But come on people. You know me better than that.

The Tooth Fairy

Can it be? My little 5 year old already losing her first tooth? This past monday, while enjoying a delicious dinner at the chuck a rama Grace said to me that she thought one of her teeth were loose. I thought uh probably not but said let me check. Sure enough it was! Yesterday it came out. Grace has been SO excited all week that a fairy was going to visit her. Sure enough the tooth fairy came last night. Grace said that she will pay her tithing with the money and put the rest in her piggy bank for Disneyland. She tells us all the time how she is the only kid in her whole pre k class who has not been there. She is so deprived!

Here is the missing tooth! So cute right?

Just another pick showing off the teeth!

Happy Birthday Grace!

For Grace's birthday we took her and 13 of her closest friends to The Mayan restaurant. It actually was better than it sounds! I am finally posting the pictures! These pictures are in no particular order, so sorry about that!

Here is Grace opening her presents, surrounded by her friends.

Here is Abi just lounging in the high chair.

Grace enjoying the show with her friends. And no, Grace is not turning one. Jamie did not notice that these hats were for a first birthday until we opened them at the restaurant!

Grace would not pose with the diver but did finally pose with the stick.

Grace requested a care bear cake.

This is us trying to convince Grace to pose with the diver for a picture. I wish I would have gotten this on video, but I was trying to get a picture so I wasn't holding the video camera. Her face stayed just like this for about five minutes while Jamie and I tried to talk her into it. She said nothing just a little shake of the head.

Abi enjoying some chips, isn't she adorable?

All of the boys sat on one side of the table and all the girls on the other. That is until Grace noticed where her cousin Cameron was sitting. She then requested to go sit by him. Cameron is very sweet and nice to everyone so he is used to being people's favorite. Grace has since commented several times how happy she was that Cameron came to her party.

Here are the kids watching the show.

Sarah giving me her wonderful smile.

This was the kids watching the show. At one point one of the divers came right up to the gate and scared most of them half to death. It was pretty great.

Grace and her wonderful cousin Emily. Emily drove from Logan for Grace's party. Grace loves her cousin Emily so much. It was also very windy, as you can tell from the picture.

Sorry that was a lot of pictures, but it really was fun and Grace had a wonderful time. Big thanks to Jamie's parents and David and Denae for coming and helping! We needed it!

The potty training that never ends

So I have been potty training Sarah on and off now forever it seems. It is just not happening. Part of it I know is my fault. I have just not had a lot of time for it. So I am wondering, does it count as potty training if all I'm doing is putting her in underwear? I try and sit her on the potty every now and then but really I am just accepting the fact that there will be a lot of accidents. Can this work? Any advice?
