Max's Random Comments

Max has said some interesting things lately....

Everyone that knows me knows that I am obsessed with trying to get Gwen to stop twirling her hair, she is creating bare patches. The other day in the car she was twirling and I was trying to get her to stop and Max said in all seriousness, "Mom, it's ok we can just take her to Bosley!" Gotta love commercials!

When we were at my parent's house for my Dad's birthday, Gwen, Rachel and I went to Target to pick some things up and I left Max with my Mom. My Mom was preparing a big dinner and Max was playing Wii. He put down his controller and said, "Grandma you've been working really hard, what can I do to help?" Sooo sweet!

And not so sweet...
Another car conversation... "Mom won't it be cool when you die I can have all your money!"
Um first of all I have no idea what money he is talking about and second I will be sleeping with one eye open!

Family Fun Day

I am sad that I forgot to take pictures of Family Fun Day (Briant's school carnival) until we got into the parking lot. They were pretty proud of their loot....we are happy to add three more goldfish named Squeekers, Franklin and Milky to our family! Gwen is very lady like!

Spring Break

I had so much fun with the kids for spring break. I decided to not work that week so I could spend more time with them. We started off with going to the Sim's for some YUMMY home made brick oven pizza! Briant and Max loved making them! My favorite was dessert. Instead of pizza toppings we added a little butter, sugar, cinnamon and bananas!

I had to bribe Briant with a soda to smile for the picture.

I don't know why people don't take him serious.

Gwen stuck to eating mini pepperonis.

The next day was when Jared had to speak in Stake Conference. He did really well and even allowed my parents and his parents to attend.

On Monday we met with a bunch of people from the ward at the park for a little play day.

Tuesday was my dad's birthday so we went out there for dinner. I dropped Briant off at his cousins house to spend the night. (Thanks Jenny and Neil, he loved it!)

Wednesday we went to the Train Park. This was Gwen's first time and she was in love. She was completely still on the train ride just taking in all in. When it stopped she arched her back and screamed throwing the biggest fit I have ever seen. We got the same reaction from her when the carousel stopped. When I told Jared what happened he made sure to tell me that we will be buying her both a train and a carousel, and whatever else she wants! This is the same guy that never wanted a daughter....maybe because he knew she would have him wrapped!

Thursday we went roller skating at the gym. I love going there because it is only $2 to skate (including skate rentals) and we are usually the only ones there. Briant is getting pretty good, Max falls a lot....

....and Gwen gives dirty looks and likes to eat!

sorry for the bad photography

Friday we went to see this flick.
It was funny...I laughed a lot.

We ended the week in Prescott where Jared and his cousin Pete participated in a bike/run race.

They both had a really good time and did well for being beginners ; )
It was freezing so during the race I took the kids to eat and to the dollar store. Look at these lovely treasures we found there.

It was a happy spring break!

Cootie Land

Jared was lucky enough to speak in Stake Conference a couple of weeks ago. He needed some new Sunday clothes so we went to Chandler and let the kids play at cootie land for a little bit. Briant was at a birthday party so only the two youngest were with us.

No I didn't take the picture with Max's eyes shut on accident...he was pretending to go down the slide sleeping...with a little cheek showing!

Basketball

Both boys just finished their basketball seasons. Jared would love to coach both teams however Max is still too young to play in the RAMMS league so Jared signed him up at the gym he works out at. The problem is the gym he works out at is at a baptist church and they will not allow Mormons to coach! I think Max volunteered to say the prayer every week and finally the last week the coach gave in and let him pray! Don't we pray to the same God?

Briant's team went on to win the Championship! It was exciting to watch him improve throughout the season.

Winter Swim

The boys were so convinced that the end of January was the perfect time to swim! Do you think they thought that after touching the water? I was entertained!
