Music

On Sunday we talked about music and how it helps us so much! I love music, even though I don't know how to read the notes... Ethan and I sing all the time. They listen to Primary songs while going to bed. But this CD is our New Favorite! WE {HEART} it! Every song is so good, its really fun to sing to! I now know EVERY song!! I want to see if the ABC one is as good... If you know please tell!
Also 2 years (i think) ago Womens Conference Raise Your Voice its the Yellow CD! cant find a pic. This one is good to, I like all the songs but a few, I am not at all into opera and I think there is one opera song on there! The Best song is EMMA, I just love it! So these are my two Cd's that I love lately!
I know that good music is so good for us and our kids! Ethan sucks in every ward and then sings them... Those who have music on your blogs thanks for letting me just go to your page while I clean my house to your music play list- We love to jam to- All I want to Do, by Sugarland!

Happy Earth day!

Ethan had a friend over yesterday and they gathered up some things around outside and we made some pictures with all the fun things from our Earth!


All weekend we worked outside, It was nice weather!! The riding mover is out of commission because of the snow that knocked down the tent thing.. (long story)... so we were at it with the pusher!! And if you have seen our loan its not small. So I gained some arm and leg muscles to this weekend!

SPENCER Eriks pet bird!

This picture might just look like a REALLY dirty window but it has a very funny and amazing story to tell, I have been gone for 5 weeks and when I left, one of the first things my bro-in-law said was how is Erik going to get up in the morning. Well, the day after I left I called and found him still at home having slept through his alarm. So a few days later Erik wakes up to a tap, tap, tap, on the window at 6:00 a.m. and it happened the next day, then the next, so Erik made a new friend and his name is Spencer Eriks BIRD! And that little bird helped Erik the whole time I was gone, I got back and woke up to tap, tap, tap, and I was like.. What Is That! Erik said oh its just Spencer! I'm like WHAT!!! so then Erik told me the story and he said the bird would throw himself into the window sometimes, Erik would just look out at him and he would stop, until the next day.
But the crazy thing is I saw him for 3 days each day at 6 to 6:30 a.m. and when I took a picture of him it was like oh, OK she's back I can go help someone else! Of course the picture didn't turn out very visible and he didn't want to stay and pose!
Isn't that funny! I was amazed and kinda mad Erik didnt tell me he had a pet bird while I was gone, seems how we talked for like 5 min. every other day, I can see how he forgot!

I made it home...

Well, after 5 and a half weeks in Cali, I was really happy to come home until I saw the clouds, and the rain, and the pile of clothes I needed to clean and put away. But looking at all the pictures I took here is a little recap (ok big) of what I did! I really did enjoy every bit of it, it flew by. I got to know Lisa a lot more and it was great, I totally feel like I have another sister. I would do it again anytime. I really think I may just talk Erik into moving to Cali when we are done. We did go look at a house, it was ONLY 600,000! It was a fun dream house to look at anyways!!

Back yard

Ethan and Sadie were loving the sun getting up and heading out back, Ethan in his pj's and boots, and Sadie sneaking around in the garage.

I made Lisa a birthday dinner of Chicken cordon bleu, twice baked potatoes, salad and rolls! ummm! The girls decorated that is why we had Happy New Year hats, Hannah really liked them...
Then a better then ummm Cake, which I made alittle different turned out really yummy!

We headed to Jelly Belly Factory, it was really fun it was just the kids 3 and under.

At there library they have this train so we had to ride!

This is the family I stayed with, they have 5 sweet kids who I got to know a lot better.

But the best part about the whole trip was I talked Erik into coming to get me and the Hulets gave us a night out so we went out to eat, then went to the Marrett and Erik had planed a head and had all this waiting for us when we got back to the hotel. So it was so nice the first night totally away from both kids! It was so what we needed after a long month of kids and studies and from being away from each other!
