Our trip to Utah for Spring Break

Jacob, Jayden and Alana
Cousins
Jacob and Ben in there snow jackets. It was really cold in Salt Lake the last day we were there and it was windy which made it worse. I kept telling the boys that they didnt need those jacket and it was only if it snowed but they insisted. I am glad that they did because it was really cold.
Here is us at the conference center. Aren't we a big bunch? Sorry I got in the way. Always needing to be the center of attention :)
Here is Ethan with his Princess Wand. This picture is funny because he loves dolls and girly stuff. He carried this wand around for two days!! Everyone thought it was funny. His dad doesn't like his boys playing with girl stuff so my Sis-in-Law took the Picture for Eric to enjoy. HEHEHE!!!
We stayed in a hotel the first night in Kanab. It was fun and the kids had fun spending the night together. They all slept together on a air matress on the floor. We ended up seperating them because they were playing. I had to lay next to Nicolas and hold him down til he fell alseep at MIDNIGHT!! He is always so stubborn. I wonder who he gets that from???


They are so cute!!! So Girly. I am going to spoil them when they are older because I have no girls. Heather you are going to have to take me on all your shoping trips so I dont miss out.
Ethan and his Wand!!



Jon (my older Brother) and his wife Heather
This was the first night home. Nicolas wouldn't sleep in his own bed so we let him sleep in ours. Isnt he cute??!! I call him my sleeping Monster. He has so much energy. We did later put him in his own bed. I cant sleep with children in my bed never could.



Me!! Dont I look great! Just kidding, I had a stessful time with the boys without Eric but I was proud that I did it by myself.

Here Is Jacob blind folded walking along the Iron Rod. In the hand cart museum they had a children area with lots of activities this was one of them. So Fun!!
My oldest Sister Tina and her Husband Bob. Benjamin called him Bobby. I dont know where he got that from but it was cute.



Nicolas wouldnt smile for me. This was the best picture I could get. He is still way cute.
My sister Debbie and Ethan.

My neice Alex and Ethan. Aren't they cute?!!

This is what happens when you procrastinate!!!

The big box they came in.
This is what 891 picutes looks like!

No this is not an advertisement for Snapfish!! This is what happens when you have four children and put off getting your pictures developed. I had 891 pictures, some as far back as Ethan’s birth almost 2 years ago. It was convenient to upload all my pics and have snapfish mail them to me. It was only $112.00 dollars. Not bad if you ask me. It came out to be 12 cents per pic including shipping and handling. Now all I have to do is scrapbook all of them. Any suggestions???

Whats a DS you ask? My kids could tell you!!



Okay so my kids this morning woke at 7Am with the plan to earn money. Jacob had read in the ads yesterday and found something he wants. He convinced his brothers they want it to. So, they are on a mission to earn money so that they can buy a DS. Which I guess is a hand held Nintendo. They figured out how much they needed to each buy one and games. Well, one of them cost $129 dollars and the games are 39 dollars each. I tried to explain to them that I wasn’t going to give them that much money and they would have to work for it. They are confident they are going to earn the money needed and by spring break, which is Monday!!! Jacob even asked Amber (who is the person that we car pool with) if he can do chores for her and pay him. She was nice about it and told him we would talk about it later. Benjamin even went so far to ask for a hundred dollars for the chores they did today (which is the picture above of them cleaning the walls). Should a 8, 6 and 4 year old even have a DS? If so, How should I handle this? Any suggestions???

I Am Officially Susie Homemaker

Here is my Wheat Grinder!! It was sweaty work grinding that Wheat.
Here is the mess I made. Did you ever notice how hard it is to clean up flour? It is like glue.
Here is my dough. Isn't it beautiful?
Here is my dough rising. I pretty much had to force myself to go in the other room so I wouldnt watch it rise. HAHA!!
Here are my loafs. I almost cried :).....
All the dishes clean, It didnt take long to clean up. Sometimes I find it soothing to clean the kitchen. Just not unload the dishwasher, YUCK!
Clean counter, AHHH!
Here are my loafs. I know they look a little misshapen but they tasted wonderful right out of the oven with butter. YUM!!
Eric even liked it!!
Tasty!

Even the kids liked it!! Except Nic he wouldnt try it but he doesnt like anything so I dont count him.
