Our Drama King!!

So Tyler is our CrAzY kid! He is either yelling or screaming or making us laugh. Today he's crawling up the stairs and bonked his head on the stair. I give him a kiss & hug & then he does it again... only this time on purpose. He "softly" bonks his head & does a fake cry & looks at me. He continued to do this like 3 times! He is a little actor when he wants attention. I guess he did the same thing in priesthood on Sunday. He fell going down the stairs in the chapel & got hurt so Steve picked him up and comforted him & then Tyler went back up the stairs....this time on purpose and curls in a little ball and slowly reenacts the same fall & does the fake cry. A guy in our ward was still laughing as he was telling me about his little "fall". He is a silly One!!

Our Little "CEO"

This morning we went to an awards ceremony for Libby. She was chosen as the CEO (Chief Example to Others) for her class. She got a certificate & T-shirt from her principal & he read a letter that her teacher wrote on why she was chosen. She is a sweet girl & we are glad she's being a good example to others! We Love Ya Libby!!!

Waiting for it to start...

Receiving her award from her principal....


Nice work Libby!!

Tyler snuck in with his clothes on. Then he sat down....

What Sign Are YOU??

I got this as an email & thought it was pretty interesting. It's kinda weird how quite a few of the qualities do fit.
Steve & Tyler are "the dare devils" ( that fits!)
Libby is "the protector" (that fits!)
Zack is "the boss" (that's kinda like the little professor that he is!)
I'm "the intense one" (I guess it depends on the day!)
Have fun checking out what you are!!

We love You!!
Mom, we are so lucky to have you!! You truly are my hero! Thank you so much for all you do for everyone. You are such a good example to me & my kids!! I have always loved you, but since having kids I appreciate you SO much more. I couldn't have made it through all of my trials without you! Shopping wouldn't be the same without you either!! I love you mom!!

AND....

I'm so thankful to be a mother myself. My cute kiddies & hubby made me a yummy breakfast in bed. Thank you especially to Libby....she got Steve up quite early & then he told her to go back to sleep for a little while ( she has been planning this day for quite some time). When he went in her room later, she was reading quietly waiting for him to help her. Libby never passes up a chance to surprise me!!
Thank you, I love you guys!!


When Steve first woke me up he said, "honey breakfast!" and it was cold, left over spaghetti & meatballs (ha! ha!). Not too appetizing for breakfast, but then Libby came in with my yummy strawberry & banana crepe!


Libby was so excited because she cut up the strawberries & bananas all by herself. She told Steve, "mom only let's me stir!"


Card & magnet from Libby.

Zack was sleeping during all of the breakfast festivities. Then at church they gave us a chocolate, caramel pretzel. He said, "Mom since it's Mother's Day I'll share it with you. How about I take a bite then you take a bite, I'll take a bite & you take a bite."


Thanks for sharing Zack! It was yummy!!

Tyler made me a proud mama on Mother's Day by showing off his great walking skills!






Thanks for making my Mother's Day great!!
