Not such a good idea

This morning I thought "hey, I'll try to make one scrapbook page". Ha!! Do you see all my little helpers? In the two minutes I sat on the floor with them, they successfully bent most of my pictures and pulled out all my adhesive squares. I abandoned that lovely idea and read them stories instead. It was a nice thought though.
The other picture is my beautiful artwork from yesterday. Matt is holding his cell phone, I'm holding Matt's hand, Levi is holding a monster truck, Dylan has a football, and Riley is holding this yellow thing that he always chews on. We all have our important things.

Chocolate (and fruit)

We always have fun dipping anything in chocolate. It's our tradition!

Dylan's Alphabet

"...now I know my E F G's. Next time... mumble, mumble, mumble..ME!"

Super Cute and EASY flowers

I got this super cute idea from my friend Adria's blog. I tried it and it took 10 minutes and I was done. Amazing!! I love it!! Thanks Adria. Link is here.

Note to Self:

Do not blow up at work, especially in front of all your coworkers. It's not good to let irritation build up into super frustration, topped off by insulting your superviser. It only leads to bad conversations, potential write ups, and lots of tears. Noted.

Really? I had surgery?

On this glorious Mother's Day (I got to sleep in until 7am!! Whoo HOO!)and my birthday being tomorrow, I thought I'd post this picture of me and just sing the praises of modern medicine and surgeons who make a ton of money, and rightfully so.

Remember my ugly pictures from the hole that was cut out of my eyebrow? Dr. Bricca said that my eyebrow probably wouldn't grow back, but he tried to graft some hair into it. I had MOHS surgery for skin cancer and the scar looked pretty horrible. Almost 7 months later there is only a slight indention in my forehead and you really can't tell that I had surgery. I think that's pretty amazing! What do you think?

A Farm Fieldtrip

I thoroughly enjoyed my day with my family. We went to a farm and got to harvest snap peas and asparagus. I have never been fond of asparagus. However, eating it right after plucking it out of the ground made it taste so yummy!! We had a delightful time.

Family Home Evening

I found it humorous tonight as Levi chose this song for FHE, "Look for the Bears and sesames, the simple bear and sesames. Forget about your worries and your strength." Oh ya!
For refreshments the boys are currently eating ice cream. I find this entertaining because Dylan has a bad habit of filling his mouth like a chipmunk prior to somehow swallowing it all (someone forgot to teach him how to eat). Anyhow, he fills his mouth with ice cream and then gets big eyes as the brain freeze hits. Then he repeats... silly kid!
