The oldest and the youngest

They are a lot alike these two! Sissy loves to twirl and so does Hawaiian princess, Sissy loves to dress up and so does Hawaiian princess, but the best part is that when Hawaiian princess was little she loved to wear glasses and make people smile and laugh and so does little sissy, it's so cute and these two have an amazing relationship for being thirteen and a half years apart!

Sunday fun

Every Sunday we love to play games and listen to Sunday music. I love this man of mine, he's the best daddy in the world, he's always playing wrestling ect. with the kids and the kids just love their daddy! He is even versitile with the older kids, he can be loving on and throwing the little kids around and then be playing a game of Risk with the older kids. He was meant to have this many children because he's just so good with all of them! I love this tradition and we even sometimes go on walks.

Warning: Not for the weak stomache

So I dropped off Dash at scouts last night and they were supposed to go to the airport to work on their aviation marrit badge and instead the leaders decided to make model airplanes. Well a half hour later I get a phone call from one of the leaders telling me that Dash was making model airplanes and slipped with the scissors and cause and deep gash in his upper thigh and will probably need stitches, I am still waiting for the insurance lady to send me the paper work for the older four to get them health insurance, I guess I am more motivated today to call her and ask her why I haven't seen those yet, the four younger have insurance, Murphy's law: when you don't have health insurance on certain children they always get hurt. I amazingly stayed calm and tryed to think of what to do although when I saw the gash in his leg my stomach immedietly started hurting, I guess I can't handle seeing my kids hurt and when you can see meat  you know it's bad. So I had a feeling to have his scout leader (who wasn't their last night because he was couching his son's team) look at it because he's a doctor, when he got home and he instantly said "Yep, he needs stitches!" I was thinking of what I could do that wouldn't cost as much, like take him to Ready Care in stead of the ER. But then he said lets go to my office and I will stitch him up real quick and you can be good as new. I started to cry grateful tears. Seven stitches later, he is good as new but a little soar. On the way home his wife called me and said that she was bringing me dinner tomorrow night, I said if anything I should be bringing her dinner as a thank you! She wouldn't take no for an answer though, I just love the people in this ward, so loving and caring, she said that she couldn't imaging what I am going through with all my children and being pregnant and Sloane so busy. He is so busy that normally he takes care of these kinds of things but since he was at a graduation last night and was too busy, I had to take care of it, one of the many things that I normally don't take care of this year but need to because sloane is too busy to do it. It's been growing experience this year taking care of these things and dealing with other things as well this year, I have learned that I can handle these kinds of things, If I don't act like a normal mom who freaks out about these things and just stay calm and let the spirit be my guide. I am grateful that I have learned that this year, it's been good for me.

The zoo with EB

 This monkey was putting on quite a show for us, he was yelling and swinging back and forth doing tricks, it was awesome we even clapped for him because he was so entertaining!!

Me, Little sissy and Danny boy all went to the zoo for EB's kindergarten field trip. It was in the eighties and it was hot to say the least and there were hills all throughout the zoo so it was a challenge and quite the exercise for me pushing two kids in the stroller everywhere for two hours and being pregnant on top of it. But it was fun and the two kids were great, I was even surprised that little sissy and danny boy didn't even make a peep the whole time, they were that good! I love to see my boy happy that his mommy is there with him, I have so enjoyed this year volunteering in his class, I will miss that next year but I will have more to do with the baby coming and all. 

Happy Mother's day!

I have had the best mother's day ever!! I woke up with my husband out taking care of the kids while I slept, the best! Then as I was getting ready for church I got a wonderful text that just made my day from my good friend. Then Sloane made me a protein shake because he knew I would be hungry during church. Church was wonderful, the kids sang which always brings tears to my eyes and they were being so cute and loving to me and kept giving me hugs, I just cherish that! Then they handed out Dove chocolate candy bars, My Favorite! Then Little sissy even though she's not officially in nursery, they took her for the first hour so I got to sit in Sunday school with my honey and it was a great lesson. Then I went a got little sissy and she was done with nursery, crying. She was good though in relief society for me, entertaining the other ladies bringing them cryons, they didn't seem to mind and she was quiet. Then we came home and had dessert with the neighbors and got to meet their oldest daughter, nice family. Then came home and Sloane took the kids to the park while I had a little nap and then got up and made hommade wheat bread for the week, because I said that I was going to make bread this week to save some money. Then had a wonderful dinner, BBQ ribs, funeral potatoes and rice, and corn. Then Sloane made honey butter and devoured one of the loaves of bread with the kids. Then had family home evening tonight instead of tomorrow because for the rest of the month that's just how it's going to work for us. Then got a wonderful foot message by three of my children, I love my feet rubbed it's the best and my kids are really good at it too! Today has been so great, I couldn't have had asked for a better day than today! I am grateful for all the mothers that have touched my life in one way or another and I am really grateful for my own mother who lets me bend her ear often, she's wonderful and I couldn't ask for a better mother than her. Happy Mother's day!

Mays Dinner Menu

After a long talk with Sloane last night....I have decided to make a monthly menu, but not in my Children's view because they make me stick to it and I don't always stick to it, so here's my attempt to make a May's menu List. I have a friend who lives in Hawaii and she makes a menu list every month and she saves money doing it, so I am hoping it will help me save money too! Just remember I have 10 people I am cooking for so I told Sloane last night that I will only make things that the majority will like and eat otherwise it's a waist of time and esp. money!!
