Our Own Kind of March Maddness

Even despite the "Jimmer" mania, we are just not much into basketball watching. Luke may be IF he had time. But he doesn't. And honestly, I couldn't care less about the game.

But in our house, we have had our own "Maddness" during March. That is, trying to entertain ourselves on these long. LONG stormy and not-always-so-spring-like days.

We've been to play on the "food" at the Mall. Luckily, and surprisingly, we caught it when it wasn't completely accosted by every other bored child-parent combo in Cache Valley.

St. Patrick's day was exciting.. as we could make it! We had some friends over to eat some...

GREEN Waffles (Great Grandma Luke's recipe-for those that know what that means, you KNOW they were good!)

And what's St. Patty's day without some RAINBOWS?! Adelia was trying so hard! I love it!! And Tianna's square rainbow makes me laugh. I have such cute kids!

THEN we attended a random event on USU campus. They were doing a 20,000 bouncy ball drop to break a world record. We came away with 10 little choking hazards. YAAAY! :D

After St P's day we have continued on the FUN TRAIN! We've discovered the joys of JEWELRY! and reaffirmed her love of CHOCOLATE! as you can see...

and not to be forgotten:

Luke built a ROBOT named WHEEL-E. Not to be confused with WALL-E. We're so proud of him and his smarts!

He's been working his tail off to stay afloat in his classes, apply and apply and apply, and interview for jobs...Still no real offers :( ...But the RIGHT ONE'S coming. We just know it!

All the while, still do all the other stuff a husband and father has to do. Have I ever mentioned how glad we are he is almost DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE?! Side Note: check out our little "Graduation Paper Chain" hanging on the curtain rod behind him. It started at 78 days till Graduation. To me it's flown by and I'm happy to say we are now at..

Day 45 folks. Day 45!!! (it makes me excited, it freaks him out. He knows all that he has to do before then)

Fam Photos 2011

I can't believe I've forgotten to post our Family Pictures taken the first weekend of March at the Wedge- a Grand Canyon look-alike near Castle Dale.
Luke's sister Monica took them and they are amazing :) I love having family photographers! And the scenery isn't half bad either...

Love you guys!

Deserts,Dentist, Dessert(!?) and Dancing

2 weeks ago, (on the last day Luke had to work on his thesis before he had to turn it over to the review board on Feb 28th) we got 10 inches of snow.
So while he was stuck inside, I spent 2 hours shoveling the snow, and the girls spent lots of time enjoying it!

The following weekend, since it was "Spring Break" we escaped Arctic, Utah, and went down to the Castle Valley for some much needed family time.

We went to the DESERT-- which was WONDERFUL!

We took some family pics, (that will have to be in a separate post) and had a fun little tin foil dinner out at The Wedge (little Grand Canyon). Tianna loved playing in the dirt and throwing rocks, and Adelia liked flirting with Courtney's beau, and snuggling Grandpa.

As much as I love the mountains, AND the snow (till this time of year), I am kind of a desert rat.

I LOVED being out there on that warmish sunnyish day. And who wouldn't? Look how perdy!

On Sunday Luke had to get back to Logan for work on Monday but the girlies and I stayed in Price for a couple days.

Tianna and I went to the DENTIST. She was WONDERFUL for her first time being at the big D's and she had NO cavities! What a proud mommy I was!

Her sister on the other hand......... with all the sugar she eats, I bet she'll end up with tons of cavities!

Here she is with her "Dessert" which is actually rather disgusting. She found the butter dish and I don't know how much she ate and how much she was just playing with, but........ ew. And I'm pretty sure she ruined her dress that lil stinker!

While were were down Tianna also got to attend Tori's DANCE class with 3 of her cousins, Camryn, Jocelyn, and Harley. It was a hoot watching them dance. Thanks Tori for including an extra : )

Wednesday I rode up North with my parents and met up with Luke and his interview at Hill Air Force Base. So from Tuesday night- today (Saturday) the girls have been staying at Luke's parent's house. They are arriving here in Logan in a few hours and I'm so excited! I have missed my little cutie pies!

Although.....

Going on a long outside run, to the temple 2x, and having a date without having to worry about a babysitter or rushing home has been quite luxurious!

But, I will happily go back to having them around so I can hug my little bugs again!

I love you girls SO SO MUCH!
