Is it really Wednesday already? time is just passing me by. Here is the latest and Greatest from us:

The Boys finally got haircuts! They were so over due but I was enjoying seeing what their hair did as it got long and how different their hair is.

AFTER:

This little girl doesn’t need a haircut yet – 14 months and counting. (21 pounds, 29 inches)

I got bedroom furniture! I upgraded from this: one plastic dresser of 3 drawers and everything else stuffed in the closet-

to: several drawers, a headboard, and a place for everything! I’m loving it-

Yesterday I didn’t look at the calendar until noon and by then we had missed our Dr. appointments. I am just spacing everything – where has my brain gone? Luckily they let us come in the afternoon. Cali had 6 shots! but she was easy and just cried for the minute that it took them to get all of the shots in her legs. She also has a yeast infection and the Dr wants me to get the little sores on her leg cleared up – she’s had it in her fat roles off and on for a long time. Sounds bad but really not so much. Now Benji had to get his shots for kindergarten – NOT EASY. He worried about it all day. He told me 3 things that I could do to help him calm down when he gets his shots and he was just nervous. The bad part was that he remembered that Pacen got 2 shots to go to kindergarten – well he had to get 5! and he freaked out. Our nurse brought in another nurse to help. He cried for each one but then he actually admitted that it wasn’t that bad. The anticipation of it all is what does him in. We were there until 5:30. The last ones out of the office and the first ones to McDonalds to console the 4 year old 🙂 Amazing what a plastic toy and a few chicken nuggets will do.

Cali caught in the act – SHE LOVES TO PESTER PACKER!

My brother made it home from his mission last  Wednesday! He sounds great and we are waiting for him to come visit at the end of the month.

We’re getting spring fever. The snow on our front lawn has finally melted but we’re still not into the 50’s yet. Packer is on his bike in the front yard as I type this. He is my outside guy and he is trying to get out there but the frozen fingers don’t let him last to long. He and Cali spent some time at the sandbox before lunch and Cali tried to be big and do Play-doh with her brother. The problem is her next diaper will be full of both Play-doh and Sand 🙁

That should do it for now. Maybe I won’t wait a week for my next post  🙂  Maybe I will.

We went to the BYU Bean Museum today  with my sister in law and her kids.  It was pretty crowded by the end (maybe no one had school :))but my kids had fun identifying the different animals. As I expected Benji was the first one that was ‘tired’ and ready to go, Packer wanted to be held the whole time and Cali was not happy to be in her stroller. I guess that is why we don’t go everyday but for today it was good.

Their favorite part of course was the air vent that was outside th museum blowing hot air up at them…

We love spending Christmas morning at our house with our kids. Benji woke up around 8:00 and came in to tell us that there really were presents here. Ben and I had been awake and waiting ( I think we were as excited as the kids). So Benji woke up Packer and Cali and we had an enjoyable morning opening presents and playing with them along the way. The kids were all excellent present openers. There were too many presents as usual. We played most of the day. And packed our bags for California. I’m not into the Christmas dinner making yet so we just snack and eat all of the food that is going to go bad while we are out of town. We spent an hour or two at the Falabella’s while we dropped off Brewer for the week and that was the day. I would do it the same next year.
