yard sale, Yard Sale, YARD SALE

(as quoted from Toy Story)

So we had our yard sale this weekend for Team Tiffany, and for Team Bryant, my friend Breann's Cystic Fibrosis Team. It was nuts. Thank You for all of those who donated items, and came by and purchased items (Sorry Tiffany Walters for selling Jackson the big stuffed elephant for a dollar. It was hot, I was tired, and he just was in love with it). All in all, we each made over $350 dollars for our teams. Hurray.

Now that the yard sale is out of the way, all I have left is to get T-shirts ordered for our team. After that, I have Tiffany's first birthday party - my cousin Mandy's wedding -Kenny Concert (sorry Kenny for not posting on your birthday that you were 40. I know you are an avid reader of my blog, and are probably very disappointed in me, I promise to scream extra loud at your concert - ahhh Kenny ((smile on my face)) After that I have girls camp and hopefully my calendar will free up some time so that I can do the 3 day breast cancer walk in November. Joy.

Now among all this chaos, it some how slipped my mind how close the day is for my brother to come home from his mission. 17 days - April 16th YIKES!!!!

Well, that is all for now. Thanks again for everyones support.

I love this time of year.

Okay, real quick, Team Tiffany and Team Bryant (Cystic Fibrosis Team) is having a yard sale this Friday and Saturday. If you have anything you would like to donate, or if you want to stop by and get a donut and say hello - drop me an email and I will give you my address. (I would post on here, but I fear old boyfriends my toilet paper my yard). armywife1cav@yahoo.com

Now back to my real intent of this posting.
I love this time of year. The weather is nice, the flowers smell amazing, spring break is over, and everything is turning green. It's great.

We went with some friends the day before Easter to Fountain Hills to have a picnic and do the whole Easter Egg thing. It was a blast. The girls had so much fun flying their kites. (Down side to the wind, well, the fountain would go up, and then the wind would blow it on us - ick). Tiffany got to feel grass for the first time - not so keen of it - and we just got to enjoy the nice weather with really nice people.

(the lack of hair comes from her father's side)

Easter the next day was great. I forgot to take pictures of the girls in their dresses, so I will do that this week and get them posted.

Over spring break we got to go do a couple of fun activities. First, we saw Enchanted at the dollar theater. If you haven't seen this - you really need to. It was a great movie. So great, that we got it for Easter. Then we went to the Phoenix Zoo. It was jam packed. I guess it was "everyone come to the zoo" day. We drove around for-ev-er to get a parking spot. We ended up parking at Papagos Park.

MONKEYS!!!

Turtle Queen!!

Sorry for so many pics - trust me I have a ton more that I left out. Have a GREAT day!!!

I Love Target

We got our proofs emailed to us way earlier than we were told. HURRAY!! I am so excited to get these back in print so that I can update our family pics on the wall. I know, mother of the year. But hey, it could be worse, I could never take any pictures of my kids when they were little (ehm - my poor brother Stephen, he already needs therapy, no pictures just adds to it).

And in case you were wondering - Elle and Ashlee's capri's are the same material as Tiffany's shirt. I can't believe how big they all are!! YIKES!!

Dr. Mash

SO, the other day while walking around the mall wish Ashlee (she is my favorite shopping partner, she will tell me when I look lumpy and bumpy or if I look like a silly faced clown - such honesty). ANYWAYS - she told me that when she gets older she is going to be a doctor and everyone will call her Dr. Mash. I just about died laughing. For the longest time - she was going to be a rock star. She had a job for everyone, in fact, Rueben's wife Davina is going to be playing the tambourine, and I'm going to sell T-Shirts. So the fact that the rock star future was gone, had me puzzled. I asked her why she was going to be a doctor - and her response was that doctors make people happy and make a lot of money. I then told her that if she wanted to be a doctor I would babysit her kids if she made me healthy for free. I was told that I would be charged $20 to get healthy.

Go Figure.

We went and got pictures taken on Monday, and I can't wait the 10 days to get them back. THEY ARE CUTE!! Then again, they are my kids, and it's like the law to say that kind of stuff. They are suppose to email me by Saturday the proofs, when they do that, I will post some on here.

This week has been spring break, and I think they should call it spring mental break down. I really, really now remember why I don't want to have a plethera of kids - too much trauma and drama. Is it Monday yet?!?!

9 months

Well, it is now officially the beginning of the end. Tiffany is rolling over. I discovered this while leaving her on the bed unattended. (I know my mother of the year award is in the mail). Luckily she fell onto some pillows, and she didn't even cry, I think I was more traumatized than she was.

Aaron is excited that she is rolling over, and he can't wait for her to scoot around. IS HE NUTS? Does the man not understand that once they move, their only mission in life is to seek and destroy? If it was up to me, she wouldn't move until she was heading off to kindergarten. Oh well, she is just growing and I can't stop it. I guess I need to sit back and enjoy the ride.

She also is starting to eat normal food. As for her diapers - that's a whole nother blog that I don't think you really want to read. Lets just say they are bad - real bad. Grown men have been brought to tears.

She also is teething like a wild panther. All items must enter her mouth with such force and quickness, that I'm sure someone will lose a finger in the process. I love her so much. It amazes me how big she is getting. I can't believe that 9 months ago she was small enough to be placed on an envelope. Now she is 16.9lbs of wild child. Watch out world!!
