Ok so never been "Tagged" before so I'm assuming that I need to answer these super fun questions. While normally these things kind of bug me cause they always have the same questions. This one is different and I'm excited to answer them. So here it goes.....

17. What is your favorite quality your mom has? She loves helping others. And puts others before herself.

18. What is your advise to new mothers? Remember that you are their mom and you do what is best, not what other people think is best. Also sleep, sleep, sleep don't worry about chores.

19. What is your most heartbreaking moment as a mom? I think it would have to be when Maddi got a UTI that turned into a kidney infection. I didn't take her in cause I thought that she was just being a stinker and peeing her pants all of the time. Yep total loser mom! She was so sick.

20. Most joyful moment of being a mom? Each time I gave birth to a healthy normal baby. What a relief.

Now I tag Megan! Good Luck!

Bailee's Baptism

This weekend Bailee got baptized. She was so excited. Conan's parents were here and so were mine. It was a lot of fun and very exciting. Bailee was so cute. She listened very well to the talks. The spirit was felt by everyone.

Kite flying

One Sunday afternoon, it was rainy, sunny and windy perfect for flying kites. The kids got kites for Easter and they had so much fun flying them. Although I'm not sure who had the better time, the kids or us.

We did get it caught in a few trees and on the roof a couple of times but that is why dad's are so handy. Check out the pictures they are pretty fun.

Sunny Day!

It is always rainy and cloudy in Oregon in the winter and spring. So when there is a nice day everyone is out side. Maddi and Sam had a good time picking flowers for me and digging for worms. Samuel didn't really like the taste of dirt but he sure enjoyed getting dirty.
