An actual Post
I decided that I don't write very much on this so I thought that I should maybe update a little more about what is going on with our family.
We are making progress on our house and Loving the end results. This weekend (between conference) we are going to fertilize the grass. It was not in good shape when we got here. That is Mike's job. The kids have been LOVING playing outside on the swing set. I think that they spend 90% of their day outside. I love it. We take walks almost every night with the dog. Their is a small playground in out neighborhood that we normally walk to, but tonight we walked to the school that Jordan will go to next year and the kids like it much more. Lots more to play on. Mike and I even played a little. I think that this summer we will be there a lot more.
Jordan has become quite the little artist. He just started loving to color. He colors so well too. It went from not really caring how he colored to ever inch was colored in the lines. I have been very impressed. Last night he was coloring on the patio with some chalk. I went out and said that he had colored a sharp tooth dinosaur. I looked and it really was a giant T-Rex dinosaur. I took some pictures I will have to post later. It is fun to see him learn new things and be really good at them. Mackenzie and McKay got bikes for their birthday's so we have been riding a lot. McKay is a little nervous to ride so he goes really slow, Mackenzie on the other hand tries to keep up Jordan. When she starts to fall, she just jumps from her bike. It is really quite funny.
Also, this week, McKay has this small sword and he hit Mackenzie with it. So I took the sword away from him. He of course threw a fit for a while. After e few minutes, he came over to me and in a really soft voice said to me "Give me back my sword and I will be your friend. Don't give me my sword, and I will not be your friend." I had to hold in my laughing until I told him that it would make me sad if he was not my Friend, but he could not have his sword back yet. I called Mike after and we laughed so hard. Of course he was still my friend even though he did not get the sword.
Last week I went to a Mutual and we had a girl come in with all sorts of modest formal dresses for the girls to try on. A GREAT MUTUAL for anyone who is in Young Women. I decided to take Mackenzie with me because she loves all the girly things. She was so funny following the girls all over stare at them. It was so cute to watch. She wanted to badly to try on a dress so we put one on her with the hanger still on the dress. It was really cute.
Well, I am sure that was more then enough info for everyone on our family. Hope you enjoyed to update.

Birthday
My babies turned 4 last week. I can 't believe it. It seemed that it was just a little while ago that I was praying every day to get these babies out!! Now they are monsters. But I love them. These are some picture of them when they were opening their presents. The first one of the two of them together, I had not done Mackenzie's hair yet. So she looks a little crazy. We are having fights about hair. I just love both their faces in the other two picture. It sure was a fun birthday.

New mirror
I was so excited. This weekend we went to the JCPenny's furniture outlet to see what kinds of things they have. We found a lot of things that we want, but will have to save our pennies for a while to get, But this was a steal. It was originally marked at 219.00. We got it for 21.00. I LOVE it. I wanted to get a mirror to put over the fireplace to open up the room. This was exactly what I was looking for. So we got another one to put in our bedroom. You can't beat 21.00 for a mirror like that.
Pictures
People tell us that Ohio got an unusual amount of snow this year. I really hope that this is the case. It snowed and snowed and snowed for about 2 weeks straight. They canceled school 6 of the ten days for the high school. Mike's work was even shut down for 2 days. Believe me, it was a lot of snow. So we took advantage and played in it every chance we got. The kids loved the snow. I was always ready to come in before they were. We are grateful however the the cold and snow is gone and warmer weather is on it's way.
New Blog
Well, My mom decided to start a blog. Well, I started it for her. So for any of you that might like to take a look... here you go.

Mom and Mackenzie
I took Mackenzie to have ber 4 year old pictures taken last week. I LOVED the picture of her. It was not posed, she just did this herself. I think that the picture really shows off her beautiful blue eyes. While she was having them taken, they asked me to jump in, so I did. It was fun to have a few picture take of me and my little girl. This one was my favorite.
