Sunshine & Lemonade

It was high time for a new "look". It has been cold and brown and dead around here. I cannot wait for spring to come. I need the fresh, cool air, colorful flowers and GREEN that I so miss. But since I can't make the grass turn green or the tulips to break through to say hello, I decided I would update my blog. I hope you enjoy the new look! It's like a little cup of sunshine and lemonade.

Denver Kid's Expo

We went down to Denver on Saturday for the Kid's Expo at the Convention Center. It was filled with different activities for the kids and lots of free stuff. It was nice to do something a little different this weekend. It has been a while since we've been in a big city. After the expo, we had lunch at Bubba Gumps. It was such a big treat!
This big, blue bear was peeking inside the convention center.

Fun Money

We have had no "fun money" for some time now. So, we decided to break the piggy bank open. I've had a coke bottle bank since I was about seven years old. We've been slowly adding coins to it over time and it was about 3/4 the way full, when we emptied it out.

We have agreed the money is just for family fun and won't be spent on anything other than that.

It was kind of sad for me to empty the coke bottle, as I had always hoped to fill it to the top, but I am so excited we have it to use right now!

Stop

Stop whining. Stop saying "no". Stop asking to go to Target. Stop jumping off the coffee table. Stop dropping food on the floor for Addison. Stop eating all the marshmellows. Stop opening the fridge. Stop wiggling around when it's time to get dressed. Stop sassing me. Stop talking for just a minute. Please, stop.

Keep giving me big hugs. Keep "fixing my kisser", keep laughing hard when I tickle you, keep sharing with your sister. Keep chasing us around the house. Keep saying "I love you" and "Te amo". Keep asking Addison if she had a good nap. Keep singing your silly songs and sentances.
Keep playing with playdough and paints. Keep pulling "Bob" around the house with you. Keep talking about buses, trains and sharks. Keep whispering "Good Morning".
Do keep reminding me how thankful I am Heavenly Father blessed me with you.

*My friend Carrie inspired me to write this. Thanks for the idea, Carrie.

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who participated in my Scentsy drawing! I had an awesome response. A very lucky winner was drawn on Friday the 20th!
I'll have more drawings from time to time, so please check back.

Race Cars

Mcayden got a surprise in the mail today. Auntie Renee (my bff in WA) sent him a fun, b-day present. He is really excited to have a new race track. He designated the red car for Addison and he gets the green car. They both love pushing the lever to watch the cars race down the ramps and hear the repeated "vroom, vroom" sound it makes. Again. And again.

A friend came over the other day and Mcayden excitedly grabbed this toy and brought it in to play. Of coarse we couldn't hear each other over the "vroom, vroom".
I smiled and said, "Thank you Renee." Just wait for Andrew's B-day! :) LOL
Love ya!
