Finally I got a Post Done

I have been uploading pictures over the past two weeks and I keep meaning to finish this post. I have been procrastinating so bad and then I just got to busy and i have just also been to tired to do anything. Two kids can really wear you out. I love picking out pictures to show everyone but I really hate my writing skills and I always feel like I sound so boring......(please don't tell me Im not boring cuz I really am haha, I say it with a sense of humor....really!!) But I really do just mostly love to show how cute my kids are. They are so fun and just to cute for words.




First time in grandma's bouncer. He loved it at first.
Slowly getting irritated.Ok he's mad, take him out!


Karsyn loved it!
I got a sewing machine for Mother's day and learned how to make a skirt for Karsyn.
Then I made a couple aprons for mother's, I forgot to take a picture of my mother-n-law's. It turned out really cute too. This one is my mom's.
Seth got his first swig of soda and can you believe it wasn't by me but my sneaky sis! I think it was really just lemondade.Snuggle time with dad is always a treat.Watch out for the bull with the ring in her nose.Cutie!!! Karsyn has been in a singing class with her cousin Teagan and they have had so much fun in it. Of course they completely froze on stage, but they were still so dang cute.Teagy get your finger out of your nose!Strike a pose.Model!Kazoo, to Take me out to the Ball Game. She did that just fine.We hung out at grandma's later and played in the dress up stuff.Another day with boots on in bed. Caught in the middle of two sneezes, I love a camera that can take fast pictures. A few weeks ago we were so impressed with my sis-n-law Wendy. She accomplished a mini triathalon. Can I say AMAZING!!! It made me cry I was so proud of her. She and 4 of her's and Adam's cousins (who are all sisters) did this together and they all finished. It was so fun being there and it really has inspired me to do something like it. Great job Wendy....I can't tell you enough how proud we were.I got this new scrapbooking kit that is just so fun, can't wait to do more.

Also the last two days we have been moving, we are almost in but not quite, hopefully Thursday we will be completely in....fingers crossed. We are moving into a house with 4 bdrms, and a darling pink playhouse and a trampoline. It will be so nice for a family of 5.

Then on Friday we get to leave and go up north for a family reunion. I am super excited to do some relaxing and having fun with family.

Until Next time!

Heart Friend Award

HEART FRIENDS
Thanks mom for this BLOG award, that was very thoughtful.
Now I am supposed to pick 8 people now to honor.
UGH NO WAY!
SORRY not gonna do it. I can't do it, there are to many blogs that I enjoy reading and visiting. I can't pick individuals but I will give you hints.
In no particular order......

My Friends from High School

My Friends that used to live in Chicago

My Friends from my ward

My Sister-n-laws

My Cousins

My old Roomies

My old and new neighbors

and last but not least

I would pick my mom and my sister......although they already were picked.

That's Eight

So if you are in this category you win an award from me!
And I was supposed to add this text along with my eight.

"These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggranizement. Our hope is that when ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

Have a great Thursday.

Hey and don't be doing this, we don't want no swine fever.

I stole picture from my mom's blog.

Very funny Mom!

Here is some of our Easter pictures, we had a good one this year. Now that Karsyn is old enough to get into Egg Hunts it was really fun. We've had to do it a couple times at home since Easter. She gets so excited finding egg after egg.





The baskets of goodness!
Some of Karsyn's goodies.







Some of Seth's goodies.


Karsyn eating her goodies.


Egg Hunt at Grampa and Grandma Shumway's.

Seth telling Karsyn not to hog all the eggs..........


Oh well better luck next year!


We had a great Easter and loved spending it with both families.


Growing up in our family we had a tradition.......Strawberry Crepes for your birthday....mmmmmmm!!!!

I was craving some the other night, so guess what we had for dinner......yes dinner......yes strawberry crepes. But we ate them in honor of some April birthdays........

Little Miss Maren Merkley (our niece) had her birthday on the 5th

Miss Sarah Foote (Adam's sister)celebrated her 30th on the 17th.

Elder Dallas Skinner (my brother) celebrated his 22nd birthday yesterday the 20th.

And coming up on the 28th is Mr. Taden Hatch (our nephew)

Happy Birthday to you lovely people, perhaps next time you may get some strawberry crepes.



So this is the reason I don't make spaghetti to often.


Who has the energy to clean this pretty little face up every time we eat it.


And it is a sad thing for Adam because it is his favorite meal.















And now I have two faces to clean up, first attempt at baby foods.
Do you think he liked it??
Nope, he's not a fan.
Not yet anyways, he will change his mind.
