1. Abbie got picked to go to a special lunch in a limo at school. It was a prize for the walkathon fundraiser. It was so fun to watch the excitement in her. She got all dressed up and wanted to look extra fancy. She got to walk the red carpet, take pictures, and of course ride in the limo to Chickfila. She said that it was the best day of her life. She said she loved to order what ever she wanted for free!"
2. Yesterday I took my Lucy on a special lunch date. She needed it. I checked her out after I read with her class and we went to Panda Express, (her pick of course,) and then to get a yogurt. It was hard on her to see Abbie's special day, and has she been wanting one of her own. I always love being with her! I made her promise not to tell anyone about our secret lunch and of course the minute she saw Abbie and Max at school she proudly told them all the details trying to make them jealous.
3. Max's maturation program was yesterday at school. I didn't go because I wasn't sure he wanted me to. No one else's mom was going and I debated it all day. When he got home to tell me all about it, he told me that he thinks he is growing a full beard. Because yesterday he saw some little hairs on his face. :)
4. Yesterday I took Em up to City Creek for her birthday. It was rough. I was so onery and came home in tears. City Creek was way cool but I am the worst teenage mom. We shopped, ate the worst italian sandwhiches, had a carmel apple, and about got mugged at the gas station by the homeless.
5. Last Friday it was so fun to watch all my kids at the walkathon at the school. Max ran his heart out! 6 Miles and ran for a solid hour even with his heels killing. Abbie ran and had a lot of fun with her friends even though I kept her home that morning with a fever. Lucy fell and skinned up her knee in the first 5 seconds of the race. It was a rerun of Emilee. I took her to the office, cleaned her up and then the two of us ran the rest of the way holding hands. I'm glad she still likes her mom for now. Jayne enjoyed the full day playing on the playground even if she losto 2 pairs of shoes.
6. My Mom and Dad are home. It feels good to know that they are close by.
7. This week when I went to visit my Grandma she was really confused. She loves Jayne and kept following her around trying to find her shoe no matter how many times I told her that she didn't wear it to her house. I love her.
8. It's conference weekend!!!! The weather should be nice tomorrow and I can't wait to listen to the Prophet at home with my favorite people.

1. Abbie in her braids this morning heading off to school.
2. Lucy's toothless grin. She looks so cute with her teeth all missing. She asked me last night what she could do to help me. Then she spent her night upstair scrubbing my bathroom. It always needs a redo when she is done, but I so appreciatae her kind heart!
3. Max keeping me informed on March Madness and the NFL trades. I checked him out of school last week to watch BYU and I made him his favorite lunch, meatball sandwiches. He told me last night that he can't wait for scouts next week because he finally got his boy scout uniform and can't wait to wear it.
4. Jayne is sick today with a fever. I always love when she is mellow and likes me to hold her.
5. Emilee went to her Missionary dinner discusion last night at the Adam's home. She was called to England and looked so cute all dressed up with her scriptures and lesson in hand. I am so thankful our Stake does Missionary Month! I look forward to it every month.
6. We had Sierra and Rachel over last night for our Missionary Dinner from Alabama. It is my kids favorite and Abbie made signs that said "Sweet Home Alabama" that she hung up. I hope all of my kids get the opportunity to serve a mission. I still haven't gotten over sister Jordan Lee who spoke in Sacrament Meeting on Sunday. She really struck a nerve with me and I want to serve a mission!
7. Things with Jason have never been better. Last night after a long busy day at work and two bids, he stopped to pick up the chicken for dinner, went back down to his office to write a letter for Matt with a smile, came home and did all the dishes, vacuumed, and cleaned everything up. I don't know what I did to get him but I am so very thankful!!!
8. Spring is here and the sun is shining today. The weather has been beautiful and my forcynthia has bloomed. I love this time of year.
