Maelie has been taking a community soccer class every Tuesday morning since the end of February. This week was her last time and also a makeup week so the only kids there were Maelie, her cousin Kailin, and another little boy. So Coach Cook threw a bunch of balls out into the gym for a fun day! I tell ya, give kids a big room and a bunch of balls and they are HAPPY!!! It was great, because Jaxon, Kyla and Karsyn also got to play. The pictures didn't turn out that great because of the large room, but you get the idea. They sure had a ball!! =)Wednesday, May 13, 2009

6th Anniversary and Mother's Day
This year our anniversary fell on Mother's Day. We celebrated on Saturday by hiking in the mountains that we see everyday that are near our house. Mother's day was great, the highlights were definitely breakfast in bed and Maelie singing to me in sarcrament meeting. I am blessed with an amazing mother, an amazing mother in law, and my cute family who made me feel special on mother's day.

Rub a Dub Dub





3 kids in a tub! Today I was getting the bath water ready for Jaxon and ran to get some shampoo and the girls had stripped down and jumped in. I said, "Hey that was Jaxon's bath." and they said they were taking a bath with Jaxon so I went a head and threw him in with them. Next time we'll use the big tub!

pool fun
Friday night we bought a baby pool and on Saturday we filled it up and the kids had a blast! Jaxon was splashing like crazy in the water and once he figured out the slide he kept going around and around. It was so cute, he would get to the top of the stairs and stand there all proud and then he looked like he was trying to figure out what to do and he couldn't so he just started walking down the slide until Jonas grabbed him and sat him down. It was pretty entertaining for Jonas and I. I know I talk a lot about Jaxon because he was pretty funny, but yes we love the girls too and they also had fun! :) I think I will get the kids suited up and head out there in a bit, and maybe me too so I can get some sun on my white skin!

kindergarten
Yesterday I took Maelie to register her for kindergarten and I told her we were going to sign up for kindergarten. As we were leaving the school, she kept asking me about sign up for kindergarten. And I told her, we just did that but she wouldn't be going to school yet for a while. She said, I thought we were going to put a sign up at kindergarten. Ohhh.... haha! And so I tried to explain to her what sign up meant, which ended up being kinda hard. I wonder how often that happens, I use figures of speech and Maelie is thinking something totally different than what I mean. And then when we went home I realized that the first day of school is July 27th, that sounds so soon and I said, "My baby's going to kindergarten" After telling me she was not a baby, she gave me a rose and said I would be ok and that I could have that rose to rembember her while she was gone. What a sweet girl!

our home and wish list :)
Finally some pix of our home, and no I didn't clean up for the pix, so excuse the little messes and the Jaxon without clothes on... :) We have a large wish list and we crossed a new couch off last night

play room * girls room * Maelie :)
family room and kitchen and the new couch we bought* our bedroom and yes, after 6 years of marriage, still no bed but we have plans for the above bed from IKEA - and all the boxes are all our books because I want to buy a black bookshelf, the below nightstands and paint our dresser to match. :)

kitchen * we love our new table off craigslist - now we just need this bench and matching chairs

mom
The last week or so Maelie has starting calling me mom instead of mama of mommy. It may not seem like a big thing, but to me it was actually really strange. It made me feel like my little girl really is going to grow up. I have gotten used to being called mommy, but for some reason, mom is a whole new ballgame and it still sounds weird to be called that. Am I really a mom??? I asked her why she started calling me mom and this is the answer I got... "I want to call you mom now so that I can say thanks for giving me all that food." hhmmm... I thought she would say something around the lines of being a big girl. Well, heres to many more years of being a mom.
