Brittan's play

A Few weeks ago Jadyn and I went and saw my niece, Brittan, in her school play "Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat" She did a great job and we had fun watching her! I love that Jade likes to go to plays with me!

Mini azurettes

Jadyn's dance teacher is also the drill team advisor up at Copperhills. They had the mini azurette camp a few weeks back. Jade was so excited and loved being able to dance for 4 nights in a row! She was so cute in her dance and I loved watching her!

St. Patricks Day

The kids always love when the leperchaun comes to visit! Glad he didn't miss us this year! And of course, we had to have the green breakfast as well!

Spring Cleaning!

We moved into this house 3 years ago this coming May. My house has not been "deep" cleaned since then. I have had the best intentions the past 2 years to get my deep cleaning done, but it hasn't happened for one reason or another. I decided this year it HAD to get done and then only way to do that was to take the entire week off and get it all done at once. I started on Friday the 25th and worked every day until Sunday the 3rd. I added up all the hours I spent cleaning those 9 days and it came to a grand total of 98 hours! It was a long 9 days for me and the kids because I did nothing but clean every day. We didn't go anywhere or do anything for those 9 days. It was awful while I was doing it, but so nice when I was done. I am so happy that every drawer, closet, wall, baseboard has been cleaned. It is such a nice feeling! I still have the toy room and storage rooms downstairs but I knew I wanted to wait and do those rooms until later in the summer.

We did a re-haul of Jade's room. Took out the bunkbeds, moved in a different bed, added some bookshelves. Jadyn and I both love it so much more! She has been sleeping in her room, willingly, so much more. It has been great!


And this picture show my lack of parenting the week I cleaned. He was on his own for entertainment with little supervision. I cam downstairs around 5:00 one day and found him like this: asleep with toys and food wrappers all over! It made me laugh. We all survived though!
