all by himself, all while I was taking a fabulous sunday nap.

A while back I had a friend who was thinking of moving this way ask if we had any graffiti in our neighborhood. I laughed, and replied with an "of course not!".

I now eat those words. My own daughter the culprit.

But, hey! She's got her name down!

Suited Up

This weekend we took an impromptu trip to Park City.
It was perfect to just get out of town, do a little shopping, relax.
Of course, the kids favorite part was being able to wear the swim suits the Easter Bunny gave them to the indoor swimming pool.

They looked much better without the pj's and snow....

He's baaaaaack!

Today is Tax Day!
NO more late/over night working hours!
LOTS more family time!

Mike and I celebrated...his choice, a night on the town!
He chose:

Red Lobster,
(complete with the upgraded strawberry colada)
a movie,
(Date Night - so funny!)
and dessert!
(tried the gelato place -ICK, chucked it, and went for the good stuff!)

And now he is snoring {quite loudly}!
Quite the end to another "season"!

Thanks for working so hard for us honey!
We love you!

Food Storage

I feel as though Mad Hatter was talking to me when he said,

"You used to be much more muchier....You've lost your muchness."

I'm attempting to find my muchness, again.

Lost and Found

Luke couldn't find his flip flops today.
He distinctly remembered kicking them off in front of the tv.
He searched EVERYWHERE, even behind the tv.
(He's a good kicker, plays soccer ya know.)

Apparently, Paislee had taken care of them for him...

Valentines day...

...is less than a week away...

Need a little help spreading the LOVE?
...find it here...

Pinned!

We have a new wrestler in the family!

This is Luke pinning his first guy in his first match EVER!

We were so proud of him...the next couple didn't go quite as well but he had fun despite being pinned himself a couple times.

No matter the outcome he still had a smile on his face!

Hey Mama, Hey Mama

We "jam out" to this song EVERY time it comes on in the car.
It has become "our" song.
Makes me smile EVERY time.

I know, one thing, that I love you!
I love you, I love you, I love you!

Definitely, the best luck this mama's EVER had...

The Chocolate

I re-started the diet this week.
And as far as weight-loss goes - I did good.
I lost the 5 lbs I gained over the holidays.
But, it was NOT a good week for me: I was tired, exhausted, and unmotivated.
I was constantly thinking of all the food I couldn't have.
Mainly. the red velvet cake from the yummiest/cutest bakery around, The Chocolate.

Last night, Mike's parents took us to dinner.
Afterward, we took them to The Chocolate and I cheated, ate every bite of this beautiful cake.
YuM!
(And my scale stayed the same this morning, whew!)

My kids dig the cupcakes, especially Adilynn.
She goes straight for the pineapple coconut EVERY time and ALWAYS manages to get the whipped cream frosting ALL over her face.

Let's try this again...

Imagine this:

I'm at work(American Eagle, floor-set), its roughly 7am, there are piles of clothes everywhere and Chad has his "tunes" playing in the background. These tunes consisted of mostly 90's hits and had us all reminiscing in one way or another. Then on comes Madonna singing "Vogue" and Chad yells to me "Kac, its your song!" I listened, and thought, got a little embarrassed and...nothin'! Not for the life of me could I figure out why on earth he would call this my song. After an awkward silence he says, "Ya know, your blog!"

And there it is-the wake up call! I put that song on my blog to go with school clothes pictures. School started in August. Vogue is NOT my favorite song, not even close. I suck. I should update.

And here we are, almost a month later but here nonetheless! 2010 has been good to me so far. I've set some goals, simple ones, and kind of stuck to them. Life is still crazy but not the chaos we ended 2009 with and that's what I was shooting for. I wish I could go back and recap all the fun stuff we did this fall, Mikes parents coming home from South Africa, Thanksgiving full of family, our last minute Disney trip and our chaotic/magical Christmas. But, that would require time/stress/pressure which doesn't fit in with the goals for 2010. So, let's pick up here and try once again...

One of my favorite things in 2010 is Project Life. {Thanks Steph!} Here are a few of our POTD's (picture of the day) to give you a quick update of our year to date...

I have been busy creating!
My new job= Designer(heehee) for myscrapbookzone.com

Paislee is a spunky as ever.

Her highlight of 2010? Primary!

Miss Adilynn couldn't be happier than to have her nose stuck in a book.
Although, the DS Santa brought her is a close 2nd.

Mikey is going full speed into tax season!
But, always unwinds in his favorite chair before heading to bed.

And Luke turned 5 last week!
His newest thing - teasing his sisters.
