instapics.

We love our missionary Wednesdays.  They can't come in if Jeremy isn't home... one evening he had to do some CE after work so I sent them with bag lunches.  They were so excited... it was rather comical.

I find Peter like this at least twice a day.  He's usually yelling, "I'm stuck!"

We found this awesome Ninja pledge on the wall above Graham's bed.  He wrote it himself.  It says:

"I will nevr yoos my powrs on my team membrs.

I will inspiyr with hate to all.

I will nevr do my homework when I have tranyg.

I will nevr joyn my enames.

I will allwase yoos my powrs when I rily need to."

I love him.  And I love reading the spelling of a first grader.  

I get to teach the youth Sunday school at church.  It is the best ever!  I have grown to love those kids so very much.   They are really like my own children in a way.  I can't get enough of them.  I try really hard to get to know them out of church so that it's more of a friendship then a student/teacher relationship.  I'd like to think that they enjoy my company.  ;)  Two of them were in the musical Grease at their school and I decided to go and see their show.  It was adorable!  They did such a good job.  They totally made my day after the show because they left their friends and came and talked to me.  They even hugged me and took a picture with me in front of their friends.  I felt so loved.

Jayne and I had fun decorating for St. Patricks Day this year.  We only have a few things... but it was enough.  We have since taken them down and added Easter.

This was Peter's face after we finished at the carwash.  He hates the carwash.  He whimpers the entire time we are in it.  After it was over I heard a little voice say, "All done?  All done?  All done?"  in a scared tone.  It made my heart melt.  I love this kid so so much.

He is a huge fan of Super Why lately.  Whenever we get home after taking the kids to school he walks in the door and says, "A Why!?"  I let him watch an episode while I shower and get ready for the day.  We were in Target and he spotted a cereal box with Wyatt on them and just about had a heart attack he was so excited. It was adorable listening to him chatter away the rest of our shopping trip.

We are major suck-ups and bring the teachers a gift each Parent Teacher conference night.  This time it was a few days before St. Patricks Day and we decided to give them Lucky Charms.  It was a big hit.  The kids found the same thing on the kitchen table on the real holiday.

Jayne is in love with dance class.  She always asks if she can put on her dancing clothes every day after school.  Its so fun to watch her twirl.

I am 13 weeks along.  I swear that twelfth week lasted about five weeks.  I am starting to feel a little better.  I'm only on the couch for half the day now instead of the whole day.  Here's hoping that the second trimester will be a little nicer to me.  The doctor said we can peek and try to see the gender at my next appointment.  Fingers crossed the baby will cooperate!  My mom will be in town and it would be awesome to have her there when we find out the big news!

I finally got season 2 of Downton.  My kids and husband had to fend for themselves for three days while I watched it.  I am in love with the show.

Peter gave me an early birthday gift by drawing a beautiful picture on our footstool.  Luckily it came out.  All markers and ball point pens are banished.

Jayne got dressed and put on her boots and said, "I'm like a dancing cowgirl!"  Love her.

I told Jeremy that one of my favorite parts of Christmas is getting all of the letters from family and friends.  I mentioned that I would love to feel that joy around my birthday.  I didn't think it would happen but every day this week I have received a little handful of birthday letters in the mail!  It has been so much fun getting the mail each day!  I feel so loved.

Another missionary meal... Navajo tacos.  I have never seen two boys eat so much!  It was a big hit.

More food.  I made haystacks one night and every single one of the kids said, "This is my favorite dinner!"  I had no idea.
