Easter 2011

We tried taking a picture of the kids before church today and after many failed attemps this was what I settled with. Maybe I will try again next year!

HAPPY EASTER

Dear Tooth Fairy....be more sneaky!!!

Isaac has had a wiggly front tooth for over a month now. Every day I ask him if I can pull it out and he says NO.

Well the other night I asked him if I could just wiggle it and he said YES. So I started to wiggle and POOF the tooth fell out. I started giggling because it was the first time that I have pulled out a tooth. Then Isaac started giggling because it was finally out.

Since it was bedtime we quickly got the tooth under his pillow and hoped that the tooth fairy would be ready to reward this last minute tooth extraction.

This following story is for adults or anyone who knows doesn't believe in the tooth fairy.....

As I was sneaking into Isaac's room to put money under his pillow, I glanced at him and he was sleeping. As I got closer I noticed his eye lids flickering....I got a little closer and he started to smile...that little stinker was faking asleep. He looked at me and said, "Mom, why are you putting money under my pillow?" BUSTED!!! I quickly dropped the money and kicked it under Isaac's bed, showed him my empty hands and said, "What money? You must be so excited for the tooth fairy to bring you money that you imagined some money." Then Isaac said, "Then why are you taking my tooth?" I said, "Oh, Isaac, I am not taking your tooth, I am just checking to make sure it is still there and it didn't fall on the floor." PHEW....I think he bought it. I kissed him goodnight and quickly left before I starting laughing. Needless to say the toothfairy made a second trip when Isaac was well asleep that night. I can't believe that I almost blew it.

Isaac's Spring 2011 soccer

Isaac is also playing soccer this spring. His team is WHITE THUNDER!!! He loves it. He has scored at least one goal in every game so far. Look closely at this pic and you can see his tongue sticking out. In almost all of the pictures I took at last nights game he has his tongue sticking out. :)

Reese Annual Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday was the Reese annual Easter egg hunt. The kids always have fun gathering eggs at Gram and papas. Here are all the Reese cousins....minus Zach and Lincoln. We missed you guys.

Brandon Spring Soccer

Brandon started Spring Soccer. He has really started to like soccer. He can't wait for practices and games. He is a pretty fast runner and is working hard on his ball skills. I know these aren't great pictures but they will work.

This is what you do if you have a runny nose at night...

Isaac said he couldn't get his nose to stop running at bedtime the other night. When I went to check on him this is what I found. I showed him the picture the next morning and he laughed and then said "Mom, don't put this on the blog!" So nobody tell Isaac that this is on the blog. I thought it was so cute that I had to share.

We love Brooke and Max

This is my younger sister Brooke. She and her husband live in Washington DC but are moving to Morroco. They stopped in Utah for one last visit with family before they leave. They came up to our house to spend Monday night with us and the kiddos. We ate Pizza, played UNO (or Bruno as brooke called it) and Uncle Max read us a story. The boys and I have been reading the Percy Jackson series. We are on the second book... almost done. Max has a great voice, so full of animation that we thought it might be fun to have him read to us. WOW the story was awesome...Max's reading was amazing. We deicde that once Brooke and Max get settled in Morroco we would skype once a week to have Uncle Max read to us. It was so fun to see and spend time with my sister. I love her and am hoping that I can squeeze in a little visit to Morocco while they are there.

Brooke met Baby Jake for the first time.
