Happy Birthday Ben!

Happy Birthday Ben. Today we went to church and then came home and had a BBQ and cake. Sterling kept saying "happy mama" I said "say happy birthday daddy." She would do it once and go back to mama and laugh and smile. She is silly. She sat on Ben's lap when we sang Happy Birthday to him and Sterling blew out the candle what a stinker. After we sand and had cake the kids were asked if they got anything for daddy and Chanse said "I better go find something." He came back down stairs with a tie. Chanse said it was a magic tie. So funny! Well I got Sterling on video saying happy birthday so funny and cute. Happy birthday Ben you are the best Hubby and Daddy!! We love you!

Easter Egg Hunt

We had a ward breakfast and Easter egg hunt on Saturday. So we decided to go. It was at the park at 8:00 am. So early. Well we got there had breakfast and I saw there weren't too many kids there and thought my kids had a chance to get some eggs in the hunt. In the past my kids find an egg shake it look at it open it and then move on. So I didn't think they would get any eggs. So there were only a few kids and I said to Ben OK I am not so worried there is not very many kids. Ben said but there are a lot of big kids. Well it came time for the hunt and they hid a lot in plain view they said go and all the eggs in plain view on the grass were gone before my kids even reached the grass. It was really sad. Chanse found 2 eggs, Hero found 2 eggs and Sterling found 1. I was really mad and the kids weren't too happy either. But a girl Taylor Orm I think she is like 8 years old came up to Sterling and gave her a hand full of eggs and then a boy I don't know him at all gave some of his to Hero and some to Chanse. Chanse's friend kyle gave Chanse a green egg. So nice! It was so sweet that these two kids gave the little kids some eggs. I thought that was so nice!! It saved the morning. I almost had three kids in tears. I was not too happy that they just had everyone go at once. But what can you do?? At least there was some nice kids around!!

Funny thing we saw on Saturday. In a gated community right when you enter the gate the speed limit was posted and it was 14 1/2. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen. I was going to take a picture and I totally forgote. If I see it again I am forsure going to get a picture of it!!!

Field Day

On Friday Chanse had field day at school. The Kindergarten class has field day every year and Chanse's class was invited to participate. So we got up Friday morning and hurried over to school. But my kids did not want to participate. Near the end they finally did some of the games. They did a sponge relay. They took a sponge from a bucket of water and ran to another bucket and squeezed the water into it. Then they did a bean bag toss. They did a soccer ball game and hula hoops, there favorite was sitting on these four wheeled boards and going around a circle. They also loved the game where they had a bean bag on a board on one end and they stomp on the other and the bean bag flies up and they catch it. They ended up having fun. They cried when I said it was time to go home. Then Ms. Johnson let them play in her classroom for a while and that made them happy.
