Is it Spring yet?

This time of year is probably the hardest time to live in Idaho. Everyone is so done with Winter and ready for warm weather, but we are still getting snow. Carson has been a little pill lately (more on that to come) and I know a lot of it has to do with him being ready to get some energy out. We try and keep busy around the house to make the time pass quickly.

Apparently spaghetti night was a success....

Sometimes we will venture out to a store just to get out of the house. This is me wishing Spring was here......I turned Brooklyn into a flower.

Brooklyn loves to play with my phone. In fact, she throws a fit if she can't have it when she wants it. I was looking through my pictures the other day and found these beauties. Brooklyn knows how to work the camera!!

Jason and I have been switching babysitting with another couple and it was worked out really well. Every other week we get to go have a date for a few hours. Most of the time its all I see of him all week and he goes right back to doing homework. I sure do miss having my hubby around, but I'm grateful I get to see him when I do. :)

I have been switching babysitting with a few of my friends so that we can take turns going to the temple during the day. It has been really nice to go, even if it is by myself, and I have truly felt the blessings of the temple come into our home. Carson loves having his friends come over on the days its our turn to babysit.

We have had our fair share of sickness the last few months. The kids got really bad colds and Brooklyn was pretty miserable. I'm so glad they are better now!

Aunt Carly bought Carson some new shirts and he loves them. I snapped this picture of Carson looking like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. :)

Brooklyn is at the stage where church is extremely difficult. She wants to move and go and 3 hours is a long stretch to not have a nap. I feel like I spend a lot of time out in the hall or in the foyer. If she wasn't so darn cute.....

We got to go to the mall with Ashley and the kids one day and the kids had a blast playing on the toys. We fit all 5 of them in the school bus and turned it on, which they thought was great! Going to the mall is always and adventure. By the time we left I'm sure everyone was glad we did. Screaming kids, cranky kids, noisy kids.....

Hurry up, Spring!! We are ready to play outside!!
