visitors in the night ;)

 

having kids is awesome, because the holidays are so much fun! the leprechan played tricks on us this year and it was delightful! this is the first year he came to our house and reese was totally in awe! he loved finding the note and following the foot prints to the bathroom. the leprechan left his hat and reese wore it for days afterward. it was so fun! 

 coloring eggs

the easter bunny came!

cute kids for church

brad and i at the easter egg hunt. 

reese was thrilled over the easter bunny. he kept asking me what he looked like, what his last name was and when he was coming. he was disappointed that the easter bunny "forgot" to hide the eggs we colored. i think the easter basket made up for it though.

weird day...

Today had been the most randomly weird day... First of all, it's April, we are on spring break and it SNOWED like crazy. Reese was so excited that he went out at 7:45 this morning to play. From my warm kitchen I snapped a couple of pictures:

So Reese and I decided it would be a great day to go to the Treehouse Museum. We went and had a good time and he made me quite the little art project. Little sweetie. Jovi slept the whole time. When we were leaving I talked to Brad and we decided to meet at my mom's house. Earlier that day he told me that he had dropped his ipod and it wasn't working. Really? ok... whatever... Then, he tells me he got a ticked for our car not being registered... BUT, it is.... We just haven't got the stickers in the mail yet... UGH.... Anyway, we meet up and my  parents watch the kids for us while we run to the mall to get my phone replaced. It has been freaking out since I got it, so being the wise person I am I pay 4.99/mo to insure it... Well..... As we go to leave, I drop my phone. And it cracks. VOIDING MY INSURANCE... you are FREAKING kidding me. Now the weather outside is sixty degrees and Reese has been playing. I have a cracked phone and Brad has a new ipod... I just couldn't bring myself to spend $350 to get a new phone when I am already paying for this one.... Weird day... Not even bad. Just weird.

this is how it is.

our life changed really fast. like in a week. it kind of sucks.

brad was just going to school full time, i had been wanting and he had been wanting too, for him to get a job. well, he did. i just didn't expect him to be gone ALL THE TIME. well he was. and there was an end in sight, because he was just in training.... well, training came and went, and we got a call from the stake president. we went in and brad got called to be our ward clerk.

which meant he is  going to be gone on wednesday nights and sundays pretty much all day long... hmmm..... what a delight. so now he works monday, tuesday, thursday, friday, and saturday nights. he is at the bishopric meetings on wednesday nights and we have family dinner on sunday nights. brad also has school on monday, wednesday and friday and i work on wednesday. that leaves us tuesday and thursday mornings to see each other and to be together as a family.

it freaking sucks.

i am glad he got his calling, i am glad he got his job. i just thought that we would still see each other. and we don't. and i am a little lonely. and it's sad because he doesn't hardly get to see the kids, and heaven knows when he is doing his homework... and working out just went out the window....i am just sitting at home feeling sorry for myself. no big deal. things will be ok.
