He LIVES!

Last night we took the kids to the Easter Pageant with our wonderful friends the Jones' family. When we were waiting for it to start I was convinced that the kids would be so hyper that we wouldn't be able to get them to sit still during the performance. When Cole was three years old I had an amazing experience when Cole yelled at the "bad guys" to "Leave MY Jesus ALONE!" at the end of that performance when Jesus is resurrected Cole yelled "YAY! HE made it!"

Now Wyatt is three years old so I thought I would have a spiritual experience with him too. Hahaha nope! He asked during the whole performance if Jesus was dead yet. He really didn't like it when they beat him. Wyatt said "Jesus just needs to come sit next to me! I would be nice to him." That was priceless. He loved the Angels. In the end he was so excited to see Jesus back to life (as he says it) and then to top it off he yells "Jesus can FLY like SUPERMAN!??" Looks like we need to have a little talk :)

Tender Moments

So...lately I have been feeling very down. I feel like I am a terrible mother who just yells at the kids and that I can't keep up with the house. Generally I feel worthless. Last night I walked into the sweetest moment.

Cole and Wyatt were snuggled up together on the couch an Cole was reading to Wyatt. The book was about airplanes and Wyatt kept asking Cole questions. All of a sudden I hear Wyatt say to Cole "you are the best big bruver. You know EVERYTHING!" It was so cute! In this very moment I felt so blessed to be these incredible boys mother.

The Big Date!

We decided this year to Celebrate our 10th Anniversary and my birthday together. We were lucky enough to have Grandma and Grandpa babysit the whole day for us while we spent an entire day together.

I picked up Andrew from work and we went to a barbeque place for lunch called Haps BBQ. The sandwich was awesome! The sides not so much. After that we went to Castles and Coasters. It was so much fun! I had no idea that when Andrew is scared or what he calls "excited" he giggles. Uncontrollable giggles. I was laughing so hard. We went on the big dragon swing and sat on the end. That is when the giggles began. After that we went on the big Desert Storm roller coaster. Andrew again giggled the whole time. I must say I am usually very quiet when I am scared but even I screamed a few times.

After that we stopped at Andrew's work to check his car because we left it there and nobody else was there except the security guards. I thought it would be fun to leave a few notes for some of the girls Andrew works with. It was fun to be sneaky :)

That night we ate the most fantastic dinner. We went to The Melting Pot. It was AWESOME! We spent two whole hours eating. At first they bring out a cheese fondue. I must say not my fave. I am not a really big cheese eater. Then we had salad. That was amazing! I don't really know what they did but it was so good! Then they brought out a tray full of raw meat. Gross right? It was so delicious. I loved it. After we cooked it anyway ;) Then the best came last. Two words...Chocolate Fondue! It was amazing. I dreamed about it that night. It was way too expensive and we will probably never go back but what a night! Everyone should go at least once in their life!

Best of all was getting to spend time with my very BEST friend, My love, My Eternal Companion Andrew. I love him more every day and thank th Lord for bringing him into my life.
