Drama, Drama, Drama.

The other night Macie woke up to go potty and when she wakes up in the night she is very "impossible" Meaning she is still 75% asleep and dosen't know what she is saying, doing and dosen't talk very nice.

When she woke up this particular time she was sweating like crazy because she insisted on wearing the certain pajamas and they are way to hot for her so I asked her if she would like to change Pajamas before she goes back to bed.

Macie "No I want to wear these Pajamas, but I am sweaty and hot"

Mom "Okay we can take off your covers"

Macie "No Mom (In a very impatient and frustrated ton) I want both of them."

Mom "Macie I am going to leave and when I come back you need to make a decision about what we should do to help you not be so hot"

Macie (as she throws herself on her bed) "You hate me Mom"

I was so caught off guard I just started laughing out loud.

Macie "THis is not funny mom this is very serious!!!!


Needless to say I left she worked it out and was asleep within the next ten minutes. Ah the fun times in macies life when I just hope she is getting all of her attitude out now so there won't be any left in coming years.

Why not?

I was sitting in Sacrament meeting sunday listening to the speaker and holding Macie when Sky nudged me and said, "Do you want to go to Florida?"

I answered "you bet" and so after church we went home packed the suit caes got the kids ready for the 21 hour drive, made a few calls to make sure we had a place to stay at disney world and we were on our way!!!

It was so nice to get out of the cold for a week and spend time together as a family. I will miss it when Sky dosen't have spring break anymore!!!

Here are some pictures of he kids, and they were exhausted every night, we played, and played. Tom's favorite ride was "The Buzz Lightyear Ride" and Macie went on splash mountain with her dad, it was fun to see her be more adventurous.

More pictures to come, we are on the road so I will get them later

Must be automatic

I made flat bread the other day and it turned out looking like a tooth. I told Sky I did it on purpose in honor of him!!!

Winter. Keeps going and going and going.

We have had a few winter storms in February, they even canceled school for Sky.  It was fun to watch all of the snow coming down out our front window and then play in it outside the next day. Wisconsin weather is always doing something crazy. I thought Idaho weather was different until I moved here and saw how extreme the weather can be from one minute to the other.

    This is during the storm it continued to snow the rest of the night...

 This is from the storm previous you can still see grass a little but that soon changed after the one above hit us. And yes seeing this picture does remind me of the little boy in "The Christmas Story"

It has been a long cold winter here, as I am sure it has been for all of you we are looking forward to the melting season so that we can get outside more regularly and soak up some Vitamin D!!!!!!

Christmas Day

Yes Christmas did come at our house, I just haven't been up to blogging these days.  Sky bought me a camera cord so I can finally download our pictures from our camera, which makes this a lot easier!  So hopefully you will see updates more often!!!!

This year we didn't travel so we could save that money and have a "spoiled" Christmas, it was fun to see the kids excitement and anticipation for Santa to come. And he came...

We had Christmas in Milwaukee just our little family. It was a great day to just relax and watch the kids have so much fun and of course we had to get in on playing with their new toys as well!!

Who made the naughty list?

The other morning Macie and I were talking about christmas and it went something like this.

Me "Macie are you excited for Santa to come?"

Macie "Yes, I've been a good girl"

Me "Santa only comes to good girls and boys do you think Santa will bring you something?"

Macie "Yes he will and Tom too but not you Mommy you are mean!!!"

I guess I have made the naughty list this year and I am trying to change my ways I hope 8 days is enough time!!!!

Photo shoot

We got together today with some friends and shot some pictures of our kids I just love these three pictures!!!! Something about their faces the style of the picture and their bare feet in their nice clothes. LOVE THEM!
