Happy Birthday to Justin!!

Yesterday was Justin's 34th birthday! It was a fun day for him, I think, and especially the kids.

Justin had already opened his main presents a couple of weeks ago, the stinker. He decided after going to a train show at the Union Station that he wanted to start up doing model trains. He knew exactly the kind he wanted and the accessories. He put it on his on-line wish list at Amazon and told me where to find the tracks on eBay. I ordered it thinking that he wouldn't have known when it came. He didn't say anything for a while but started asking if any packages had came. I of course said no, even though they had. After a while he started saying things like, are you sure no packages have come. I asked if he had been tracking the stuff and he admitted he had. So no point in waiting until his birthday to let him have it, he already knew what it was and that it must have came. He was so excited to have it and whats even funnier is that Tucker probably loves it more than he does. Almost every day Tucker asks to have it out so that he can "watch trains".

We did take him balloons yesterday with a bag of some of his favorite snacks. That's always a hit with Justin to take him balloons when he's at work. I painted the windows of his car and our back sliding glass door. We put up streamers and a sign. I did get him a pair of shorts, something to open. We made him fajitas and baked him a cake. It was fun for the kids. They were probably more excited then him.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Justin! We love you!

Spring, Spring, Spring!!!

Finally, signs of spring! Today is such a beautiful day, 80 degrees. The kids and I have been outside watering tulips and playing on the swing set. I got a little picnic table/bench thing for Easter for the kids. It came with an umbrella. They have been outside on it a lot today. It's been a long winter inside. So nice to be outside and playing with the kids. I can't wait to start seeing everything in bloom. Some of the tulips have opened up and the daffodils are starting too. The ornamental cherry tree in the front is starting to have blossoms on it.

Sawyer didn't know what to do with being outside, he's never really experienced that yet. I think he will start to love it like the other two and not want to come back inside for naps and stuff.

I am rambling, but it's been a really nice day to just be outside.

Book Tag and Diaper Bag Tag?

Sorry I never did the diaper bag tag thing. If I would have listed all of the things that I have in my diaper bag, it seriously would have taken up the entire page. When I go places with my Mom and sisters, sometimes they will help carry things for me. They all can't believe how heavy my diaper bag is and the things that I have in it.

I am not reading any books currently. Although, I will be starting one this week hopefully.
Our Stake is starting challenge month again and the first week is no screen week. That's hard for me when I am at home and the kids are sleeping. So I want to get a good book to read. I have heard that the secret of bees is good? Does anyone know about that book. I love reading fiction. I love fantasy. I love church fiction mixed with real events, (Fire of the Covenant). I love dramatic fiction too. Anyway, when I start reading something on Sunday night I will then answer to the tag.
