Facebook is the devil!!

Forgive me Father- For I have sinned... Facebook is the devil and I forgot to post on my blog...(I like having a journal and my mom likes to read it)
Okay so that totally is the wrong religion but here comes a 2.5 month catch up!

Easter this year was so fun. The kids were so excited to go to the Easter egg hunt, well mother nature had other plans for us. We woke up to 8 inches of snow.
Needless to say me, being the mean mom that I am told my kids there was NO WAY I was going to the Easter egg hunt and freeze to death getting 2 eggs! I prefer crying heartbroken kids over pneumonia anyday! So we ended up wearing our Easter egg hunt outfits to go and see "The How to train a Dragon Movie"
Complete with Easter egg hairdo!!
Karden, Me, and Ryan Loved it and Whitley, well she got a two hour nap!

The Easter bunny didn't disappoint and the kids loved there loot!

But I am thinking whoever makes play makeup is:
A. a man or
B. Has no kids,
C. Wants to make moms crazy!
Because the play makeup is colored!!
I am voting on D. All of the above!! The makeup may or may not been promptly thrown in the trash after cleaning up the 3 year old and the walls twice in 40 minutes! But I will deny it to my death!!

Goshen Easter took place a couple of weeks later and as always was fun! The kids loved playing with there new friends
and having the Easter egg hunt!
OF course every kids gets tons of eggs
and even more prized!! I Think Grandpa needs a few more arms



Karden has started Playing Tball,
It is hilarious!! He was more excited to wear his "poky shoes" AKA Cleats than to play.
But it is fun. The kids are running to third base instead of first or chasing the ball when There team is batting. But I guess that is how they learn!
Whitley thought she was so neat being the cheerleader and yelling "Go Brewers" Except no one could understand what she was saying- But she looked cute doing it-



Karden also is done With Kindergarten- How is school over!
Mrs Olson has helped him so much this year, He is sad to be done. We made leis for him to wear at graduation, yeah that was WAY too crafty for me, by the end of the program he was trying to hold it together so he didn't lose all his candy!, But I guess it was the thought that counts!
They had a cute little program and sang there little hearts out, all while I cried my eyes out!
He is getting so big.

I am afraid this summer I am going to be doing this- Yes I'm Crying!

drinking this

and Watching this
but hopefully it will be a fun summer.

So now I have done my pennance and said my Hail Mary's, I will try to be better at posting! Darn Facebook anyways!

Gentleman- Start Your Engines!!

On Friday Karden had his Kindy 500!! We had to make a vehicle out of a cardboard box!!



When the first paper got sent home Ryan told Karden they could make anything he wanted-

Did Karden choose a...

Racecar... Nope,



Semi Truck....No Way,


School Bus...Not a chance!!


Karden decided he wanted -AN ARMY HELICOPTER WITH A SHARK FACE LIKE THE ONE WE SAW AT THAT MUSEUM!!!!- Yeah Ryan was wishing he had phrased his sentence a little different like "Do you want a red or a blue car?"

So construction began, my car was banished to the driveway and the garage was turned into a helicopter manufacturing plant!! Blueprints were drawn, thrown away and drawn again! Missiles and machine guns were painted and an instrument panel was designed. the explanation for the instrument panel- "You need to know how high your flying! (insert rolled eyes here), C'mon Mom! After that I left the work to the boys!! The finished product!


I'll have to say my boys did pretty darn good!!

So with propellers attached and a dress rehearsal on how to get in and out without ripping off the wings
We headed to the school for the program-which was so cute that it made me cry- (insert rolled eyes once again C'mon MOM!)
Then for the big parade were all the kids drove there cars around the entire school!! I don't know who was more proud the kids being the center of attention
or the dads that had spent weeks making a car out of a box!!

It was so cute!! I love My Kindergarten Kid!!

PS: I may be in trouble in a few years.. Whitley is 3 and is already in Love with my cute little neighbor boy, Chase! We are definitely in deep trouble!

Baby #3!

When Ryan Came home from work today this is what he found...



followed by this..



and this..



He then did this...



Followed by the cold sweats and the color draining from his face....



Our Conversation then sounded like this...

Ryan: How does that happen?
Me: Well honey you didn't learn that 2 kids ago!!
Ryan: But Megan you have that thingy (IUD)
ME: Honey,It must of fell out! It is not 100% guaranteed!

I even produced some tears- It was awesome!!!

Karden then wanted to show Daddy his April fools Joke from school, About 60 seconds later Ryan Realized that it was a JOKE!!!It was Hilarious!!!

I. AM. NOT. PREGNANT!!!!!

To see the relief in that mans face was priceless. There will be no babies around here for a while!!

Ryans last thought on my April Fools Joke: "Everyone likes a piece of Ass, No One likes a Smart Ass!"

Well that's what would have got us in that mess!!


Happy April Fools Day!!!

The Good, The Sad, and the Ugly!!

The Good-

We took a little mini vacation with Ryans family down to St George!! The weather was great. The boys drove to mesquite in the morning to shoot at the gun range and the girls braved the wildlife museam with the kiddos!
The kids had fun pretending to be on a safari
and playing in the "indiana jones" fort!
When the boys got back it was our turn to leave and go shopping, we may have scared my mother in law to death by Sharlyn's driving and my lack of navigation skills because when we finally stopped she kissed the ground.
We got some good deals and an afternoon without the kids! The boys had taken the kiddos to jumping jacks
Ryan is now 100% sure we will never have 4 kids!

The following week Karden turned 6!! Six!! More than half a decade!! He was so excited to wake up to his decorated door
and to be able to take cookies to his kindergarten class! He got a cool GI Joe dress up set with a sword that makes noise!
Yeah should of read the box BEFORE buying it.

We had our family meet us at Pirate Island pizza for a little birthday lunch-
Another brilliant idea was the jacket, I bought for disneyland and it drives me nuts, I had hid it but he decided to look in the very back of his closet and was so excited that he found his pirate coat. It was his birthday, I couldn't say no. The kids had fun playing in the arcade,
getting ballloon animals
and there face painted.
My dad got into the pirate atmosphere and loved doing his impression of Captain Hook!
Karden got spoiled again by everyone! Thanks for coming and making his day special! Ryan and I also had our anniversary and have been married for 11 years! Wow thats a long time- We were a bit preoccupied and didn't even realize it was our anniversary until I was writing a receipt at work around noon. Needless to say we didn't do anything fun.

The Sad-

The week was saddened by the passing of my Grandma-

She was 95 and was amazing- I don't think words can do justice to such a great lady! I can honestly say I never heard her say anything bad about anyone- She was designated to be the visiting teacher partner of one very "difficult" lady for 20+ years because the bishop knew she could handle her. Yeah the difficult lady even made me get out of the car and into the backseat when MY grandma was taking her home- Yes! I'm still bitter-
Grandma loved Her kids and grandkids more that anything in the world!!
She could also outshop me and I'm a good shopper. She never met a dollar store she didn' like! I slept over at my grandmas house every Friday night until I was like 13, then we would get up and make whirligig cookies!!
She loved my kids like no other- she "got" Karden, they were on the same wavelength.
They loved to pick on each other and more than once were banished from sitting by each other so others could keep some sanity. I was able to get a copy of her journal, reading it is so imcredibly neat. She was one tough lady, with a strong testimony and great love for life. She was able to pass away in her sleep, we are so blessed. We are so lucky to have had her for so long and have been loved by her. She will definatly be missed more than she knows but I know she is watching over us.

The ugly-

Yeah- Word to the wise- Don't make Whitley mad!!
I think she has a little Thomas temper- but we still love her!!

We have had a crazy couple of weeks, but we survived, and I guess what doesn't kill us makes us stronger!

Playing Chicken!

Whitley is afraid of alligators-
She hates them. She is random and will just out of the blue says things all the time like "I don't want the alligator to bite me" and " Mom alligators don't eat little girls!" etc. So to calm her fears We tell her that there are no alligators in Utah and that they only eat chickens.



So the other night driving home Whitley starts talking about how she doesn't want the alligator to bite her and keeps asking me what alligators eat! I tell her they only eat chickens. She seems fine and a minute later starts pestering Karden-Who is trying to play Mario on the gameboy next to her in the car. She keeps bugging him and he dies in the game. Then I hear Karden from the backseat say in a exasperated Voice "Mom- Can we dress Whitley like a chicken?!?"


This was one of those parenting moments were you try really hard not to laugh, but can't contain it. I was laughing so hard I had tears streaming down my face. 5 year old boys crack me up!

A Perfect Weekend!
