Today

Seriously doesn't a freshly plowed field just make you want to get out and get your hands dirty. Growing up on a farm their was nothing better than this. A field all ready for planting. I love all the neat rows and just how much the dirt is just begging to be played in. I think its time to break out the tiller and get my garden going what do you think?

Oh the things you will see while you are driving down the street in Springville.... Oh man aren't thy cute. Gene brought this fork lift home today. Trusses are coming tomorrow. I will have to post pictures tomorrow.

Jesse was so excited to ride on "the tractor" with his dad. I was actually following them and didn't get a chance to get in front of them and take his picture smiling.

I know, I know you read my post right before this and I say I need to take more pictures. This is what I come up with? A newly plowed field and the back of Jesse and Gene's heads.

Well it's a start not a good one but a start none the less right?

Spring Break Cope Style

Ok so maybe this mom needs to learn to take more pictures. It is really sad that I did things with my kids all week for spring break and I only have 3 pictures.

We started our spring break of with a bang. Snow storm on Sun and Monday. What is a mom to do? Well Mon we stayed home and didn't do a whole lot just cleaned and vegged. It was nice.

Then it was of to the children's museum in Salt Lake.

Since it was cold and stormy we decided to ride trax in to kill time.

It was fun. The kids had a blast. Seriously this is how you know you are in Utah. 2 Moms and 11 kids. Wow I think we have the words crazy tattoed over our foreheads. Kids running every which way.

I took my neighbors/ cousins kids with me. Well I let Kelty and Bailey and Shundo go of by them self. Pretty soon my phone rings. (oh what would we do with out cell phones). It's Kelty mom Kennedy can't find you guys. She found us but she can't find you. Oh wait I did bring extra kids with me. Totally spaced it of. Sorry Birds I love Kennedy like my own just forgot I brought her with me for like 5 mins.

Anyone out there wanna let me take your kids for a day?

So my only pictures are at the children's museum.

Then on Wed. it was Jesse Birthday. I tell you I suck at the whole picture thing. So my sister and I decided to take the kids swimming at her in-laws house. Then it was of to my mom's for pizza for lunch. 8 kids later we are eating at my moms and letting them run through her house. She loves us let me tell you. My mom got Jesse a birthday cake and we sang to him and he loved every minute of it.
Then Christy decided to take her kids and go home. Well she ended up with all the kids at her house. She was only just going to take James home with her but being the type of person she is when Jesse started crying and saying he wanted to go to her house. She said "I am not going to make him cry on his birthday he can come with me?" Isn't she the best sister ever.

Since it was Jesse birthday Gene took a couple days of work. We where going to head to a show but we decided that he would like Jumping Jacks better. So we went down there. He loved it Both his brother and sister and big bounce houses and all the running around he could handle what more does a kid need?

Then Thursday it was of to Mcdonalds for lunch for Jesse. Grandpa Dave took pity on this mom and took my to older to kids to this auction place they have found and David is in heaven. James likes it and Kelty tolerates it. I was loving just having one kid for the day. So we meet up with Gene's cousins at Mickey D's and let them play.

Then it was of to home to get ready for another round of party's for Jesse. We didn't have the grandparents down on Wednesday night. So thurs we had a bar-b-que. Also we had our good friends come out from Roosevelt. They have kids the exact same age as ours and they are the best of friends.

So Thurs we partied again. The reason our friends where here is because their son was playing in a baseball tournament. So friday morning They went of to games and took James. Kelty and her friend just had to stay home and be girls they loved it. Jesse and Reagan played and played. He played 3 games and James was a trooper and stayed for all three and from what I was told he didn't whine to much.

Saturday morning was meet with more games. So of they go to the park while the girls and I stayed home and just vegged. Gene wandered the yard and tried to figure out what to do with our yard.

So all in all it was a great week. We did a lot and for one this mom is glad that school started again. We played till we dropped almost everyday.

We hope all you had a great spring break. We didn't go anywhere but managed to do a lot around here.

Oh I also took my bike over to the bike store to get serviced and James found himself a new bike that he wants.

This is what our future Mailmen look like. Mighty cute I must say. Jesse and His friend Cheyton. Such good buddies.
