Bag Tag!

Thanks Allie for the bag tag. Just so you all know, she caught me on the worst day. You all are going to think I am crazy! Sundays are always the best days cause I have everything you could think of in my bag.

Here are the rules:

1. Show your bag



2. Show ALL of the contents of your bag... NO cleaning it out first!

as you all can see I followed the rules I still have lots of fun things to entertain kids during church.




My camera, wallet, wet wipes, diaper, etch n' sketch, lip gloss 2 different kinds (1 for Dantzel and 1 for me), mints, gum, spoon for James, Kleenex, diaper rash relief, baby lotion, cheerios, cell phone, formula, animal crackers, fruit snacks, extra Binky, ball (for James), and this really cool tangle toy.


I tag: Dallas, Nikki, Laurel, Annie, Chandra, Amy and Shilo

VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT

I thought it would be fun to do a post on something other than my dang cute kids. So you get to see my dang cute husband playing a little ball. :)

Brandon is in a Volleyball tournament in St. George. We get to go every Tuesday night together. It is nice because we even get a babysitter for the kids, yeah! It is a lot of fun for me to go and watch him play. This is just a quick video of him pounding the ball down. Maybe next week I can get a better video. Until then this will do! :)

Dantzel Random's

PAUSE THE MUSIC AT THE BOTTOM BEFORE LISTENING TO THE VIDEO! :)

Dantzel and I have a lot of fun deciding what to do with her hair every morning. I thought this hair du ended up turning out really cute. My sister (Dallas) really wanted to see a picture of my finished work. Here you go sis. :)



This Video is one of many songs that Dantzel sings. Hopefully she will remember this song when she gets older!

The other day, Dantzel spent almost 2 hours in her bedroom playing with her two pink teddy bears. She was teaching them how to draw on her new etch n' sketch (Thanks Grandma and Papa Park)

TYPE TEST

This was kind of fun. I though I did pretty good. You will have to let me know how you all did. I especially want to know if I need more practice with my typing skills. That is if you totally beat my score. :)

Haircut time

Many of you would think I was crazy giving James a haircut. Well, I totally love his new hair Du. I actually cut quite a bit of hair off. It was fun cutting his hair. A lot easier than Dantzel's anyway. :)

Spring Break

Most of the time, people usually do fun things over Spring Break. I had a different experience. With both my kids not in school and a husband who works tons...it seems like you never know when Spring Break is because everyday we have our same routine. Spring Break this year was definitely out of routine. We watched kids all week. One day I even had a total of 7 kids. It was a lot of fun but, a lot of work on my part. We tried to do fun activities like: jump on the trampoline, water fights, play at the park, take the dog for a walk, play with bouncy balls, see how many otter pops they could eat, candle light lunch, paper bag puppets, made growing fish, ride bikes (even if they were too small), play tag, watch movies, and my favorite part NAP TIME. I am glad I only have my 2 kids everyday. Here are some picture I took when I wasn't trying to keep up with all the different activities. All and all, my house is finally put back together and we are ready for some more people to come and visit. :)

Please note, it is hard to get a good picture of that many kids.


The candle was added to the table after the picture.

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter. Hope you all had fun finding all the hidden eggs.

Updated Dog Page

Simba and Dinky's puppies are a day shy of being a week old (in these photos). They are still very small. It is fun to go and see them. Dantzel thinks it is pretty fun to hold such small puppies. Maybe next time we will get some pictures of here holding them. :)

Surprise Visitors!!!

Yesterday we had some surprise visitors. It was Brandon's Grandma + Grandpa Rice. We were so happy to see them. We made dinner and just enjoyed each others company. Grandma played with James and colored with Dantzel. Grandpa actually changed James stinky bottom and had a good time trying to get baby James to hold still. James thought it was pretty funny. Grandpa had a hard time catching him. He knows he is a fast crawler. Grandpa also had a good time playing with Dinky. Grandma and Grandpa both gave Dantzel all the change from their pockets and purse. Dantzel has almost filled her penny bank up to the top. She made bank from them that's for sure. It makes me wonder if I should get a penny bank for my kitchen counter. I think I could make a good living with some of the nice visitors we have had. :)

I had to sneak a few photos. These are the best I could do. Grandma doesn't like her picture taken too much. This will do for now. :)

SPEAKING OF GRANDPARENTS...

Brandon and I are grandparents. We are so excited to announce the births of our new grand puppies. Simba (our dog's wife) had puppies Saturday night. She had 1 girl and 3 boys. It was kind of funny because, Linda (Simba's owner and our really good friend) called us as we got out of Church and said that Simba was lost. She even closed her store to go home and look for her (while we were still in church). Since we will occasionally go pick Simba up to come play at our house, Linda decided to call us to see if we had her here. Of course we didn't. Besides we would call Linda before we would go and get her. Anyhow, we took Dinky up to there house just so he could smell for her. As soon as I got into Linda's house I could here Simba barking. Sure enough, she had gone in the back bedroom under the bed and had her cute puppies. She came out to greet me and, as soon as I saw her I could tell that she was skinny again. Then I listened some more and could hear the puppies crying. We called Linda right away. As soon as Linda closed her store again to come home to see the pups we moved the desk and we saw Simba with her 4 puppies. It was amazing, Simba had the puppies all clean and she was just feeding them. What a good Mom!!! She didn't even make a mess on the floor. Here are just a few pictures of her and her pups. I will get some more pictures as soon as I get back up to see them again. You have to keep in mind, Dantzel wants to hold them really bad and she is still so little herself. I don't want her to think that she is the mother. Simba still needs to keep them feed because there are so so small.

Busy Bee's

On Saturday we decided to get the boat out. We didn't take it to the lake darn it. We did all the spring cleaning so when summer is here the boat is ready to hook up and go. I think our whole family is ready for summer. Dantzel even said lets take the boat to the store; it's all out and ready. It was so funny. We are going to have a fun summer ahead of us. We are all so dang excited.

Summer-time Layers

Dantzel was so funny. The other day I got her all dressed and the next thing I know she is coming out of her room with her swim suit on (back wards inside out with the tag still on). She then had some of her p.j. shorts on. To top it off, she put her swim suit cover over it all. It was so funny. Who knows, maybe one day she will be a fashion model or something. :)

Nature's Art

This was Dantzel's Art project today. She had a lot of fun finding different things in our front yard.
As you can see in the picture on the left, she was very proud of her work. She didn't even want to look up at the camera.

The finished project. Her Dad will be so proud when he gets home from work. I hope I don't have to leave it on the front of my fridge forever.

It is so fun being home with my kids everyday. I am very blessed! :)
