Random photos from March 2014

Love those big brown eyes!  Is he showing us his teeth?  I think he might be showing me his loose bottom tooth...so long ago, it's hard to know...
 Cody was so tired...but didn't want to go to bed.  So he made his bed in the kitchen and fell fast asleep...
 Well, Well, Well...  Who had the chocolate ice cream?????

 Riding around in the front yard...he's got his LEGO sticker book in his cart.
 Decker's on his way to help push his little brother.





 We went and celebrated our friend, Jen Schmalle's birthday.  They had a ton of meatballs and spaghetti left over.  Hello frozen dinners... :)  (We finished off the last batch in August).

 Just a little together time playing Mater Operation.
 
 I made my first German Chocolate cake with real icing made from scratch...delicious...It was for the Relief Society Birthday dinner.
 So I thought it would be fun to make cake pops with the boys.  So I rolled some cake and icing in my hands to make these balls...put sticks in them and froze them...
 Then I gave a cake pop to each of the boys and let them dip them in melted chocolate ...
 Then add the colorful sprinkles...They weren't pretty...How does starbucks get such a perfectly round and dipped cake pop???


 But, they tasted good and it was a fun project.


 Yes, I'm a KOKO nut!  So strong I can carry both my boys on my back.
 Uh oh...someone took a Sharpie and drew on the wood floor...after some google searches, I learned you could use toothpaste to clean it off.  The abrasiveness in the toothpaste cleans away the mark.  You just have to be careful to not rub too hard or long...as it might take the finish off of your hardwood.  Great trick!
 



 Aunt Cindy came for a visit.  us girls (Nickie, Auntie K, Aunt Cindy and I) all went to Spokane for Time Out for Women.  A girls night away.  It was so fun.  Keppi and I visited with Grandpa Bob afterwards.  He had some news that he had been diagnosed with Prostate cancer and that he would have surgery in a couple of weeks.  Mike and Keppi would go and be with him that weekend to take care of him post surgery.  The surgery went well and we went back a couple of weeks later to visit and keep him company.  James, Jon and Ilee went too.  It was great to be all together.
Aunt Cindy had brought some games for the boys.  A little dog bone game where you count spaces and find bones that are the color of your dogs collar.  (The boys always fight over the green dog)  And Decker got a frog game where you try to flip flies into his mouth as it closes, opens and rotates.  They are having a blast with them.
 So cute...I caught Cody playing on the kids iPad with the headphones on.  So sweet...


 kids doing their homework or playing a game.  Love them...
 A double rainbow out our front door.
 I heard Decker reading to Cody and wanted to catch it on film.  So proud of my little reader.
