Happy Saint Patty's Day!

We had such a good Saint Patty's Day!

We ate green food, washed our hair with green shampoo and conditioner bottles, we use green dove soap, dressed up in green clothes and even wore green make-up!

We also wore Saint Patty's green pj's!

We didn't think Nate would be home this week so we didn't buy him anything for our wonderful Irish holiday so Ammon and I cruised the town running errands in our stylin' Saint Patty's outfits and face paint (Which is a green eyeliner that I found ) trying to find Nate some little Irish trinkets so that the Leprechauns wouldn't get offend and then they might show us where the gold is?!?

That is why Nate's shirt doesn't match ours.

I told Nate when he came home he had to talk in an Irish accent the WHOLE time. But he only did it for a little bit... the stinker!

I would've done it but my Irish accent always turns out sounding Arabic.

Don't ask me how?

Ammon and I were so glad that Nate got to come home!

A Tribute to the Best Father-in-law EVER

I have such a great father-in-law!

He is always there for you when you need him.

He is a great father, friend, mentor and grandpa.

But...

The very best thing about my amazing dad-in-law is the

amazing women he married.

and...
the great job they did raising their children and
help raising their grandchildren.


Nate, Ammon and I sure love you Dad and all the
things you do for us

Gotta Love it When Mom Comes to Visit!

What's yours is mine! What's mine is mine!

Everytime we go to the bookstore we get ammon a book.

This last time I found a really cute little pop-up book and I just knew Ammon was going to love it.

Look the duck has horns and teeth! Oh! It is just so cute!

The problem is that Ammon does love it. He loves it with his destruct-o- side and he wants to tear all the poor little pop-outs out! I know! Can you believe it? A baby who wants to tear paper!

I am really not as dumb as I am sounding. I knew when I bought the book that he would probably try to tear the pop-outs but the book was soooooo cute and I just figured I could just keep a close eye on him.

NOPE

So I did the only thing expected to do.

I hid the book and I will give it to Ammon when he graduates high school.

How to Torture your Child

So.. Sometimes Nate and I wake up in the morning, stretch and then we start brain storming… “Hmmm how can we torture our child today?”
This one particular morning we decided that we were going to cut his shag. We were hoping we weren’t Samson-iting Ammon but how could we risk an opportunity to torture our child? We decided it was worth the risk. (Plus I just can’t handle the bed head look ALL day long!)
So we put Ammon in his high chair and Nate (yes Nate) Buzzed off Ammon’s hair. He gave him a “high and tight” which is a military style hair cut. I just kept telling myself that his hair will grow back. It’s a little choppy but I think it is pretty cute. Luckily Ammon is young enough that he PROBABLY won’t remember us emotionally scaring him with an electric razor for the rest of his life. (That’s why we took pictures j/k. actually the camera died right before we got any good pictures.)

FEE FYE FOE THUM Watch Out Tennis Court Here I Come!

I've been bragging about how cute Ammon and Fiji are on the tennis court and I finally got some footage to prove it! :)

I especially love it because Ammon hasn't quite figured out how to walk his in shoes. He is just now starting to get the hang of it but he still kind of stomps around.

Bed-Time Fun

Every night before we go to bed Ammon and I brush our teeth, read a story, and then we have tickle time...
Tickle time is one of our favorite time of the day. Most of the time Ammon will start going into a laugh attack before I even touch him!
Also, Ammon has a laugh kind of like Pee Wee Herman sometimes. It is hilarious. I just had to show everyone because it is just so stinkin' CUTE!



After tickle time Ammon gets a little lethargic and he becomes super cute and cuddly and gives me tons of kisses and hugs. I personally think that that is a LITTLE better than tickle time :)
After laughing and snuggling we are both ready for lights out!
