My parents left this morning, it will be an adjustment after having my mom here for the past 2 weeks! My dad got here Thursday night so we have enjoyed having him around this weekend as well as my mom.
We went to gymnastics this morning. I now have the three girls all taking classes at the same time. Sienna FINALLY got into her class a few weeks ago. She loves it, of course.
While my mom was here, we moved Sienna's toddler bed out of the girl's room and into Logan's room. Sienna is now sleeping on the trundle that was under the bunk beds. We scooted it out where her toddler bed used to be. She has been in mourning over the loss of her bed, but I think she is coming around especially after Nana made her a princess sheet for her new bed. I haven't started putting Logan in the toddler bed yet...I have to gear myself up for that change!

Sienna quote
This girl is so funny!
During the sacrament as the bread was being passed she said "Is the bread buttered?" The people directly in front of us started cracking up! I can't blame them...where does she come up with this stuff?

AIMS week/Little League
Kessiah had AIMS testing this week. For us that meant she had to be at the testing location 3 mornings at 8:30 a.m. I'm so glad my mom was here this week (I actually reserved her awhile ago because I knew her help would be greatly appreciated!) It was great not to have to have all 5 kids up and ready to go out the door each of those mornings by 8:00 a.m.
I left Kessiah at the testing site for a couple of hours each morning and enjoyed some shopping time by myself. Jenessa came with me one of the mornings and we spent our time at Goodwill. That place is great for buying used books (and I'm a sucker for cheap books!) We had a good time together.
Kessiah enjoyed the week, she thinks it's fun to do something different and doesn't get stressed at all!
This week was also our first Little League games of the season. Kessiah is playing minor league softball (girls pitch), Jenessa is playing farm softball (machine pitch), and Sienna is playing t-ball. It was nice having my mom here because I was able to leave kids at home during some games in our unusually cold weather we are experiencing!

Easter weekend
We enjoyed our Easter weekend immensely!
Janel came down with Emily, Marrissa, and Charlotte as well as my mom. The girls, of course, enjoyed playing with their cousins, colored eggs, had an egg hunt in the backyard, and played some more. It was fun (and a bit noisy!) to have them here. We had 8 kids under 10 here and for a few hours when Janels brother and family came up from the Phoenix area on Sunday we had 10 kids under 10 in the house...how fun is that!
It was also General Conference weekend. It was a good one that should have been subtitiled "Parenting 101" I'm excited for the May Ensign to come so I can review many of the talks at my leisure, I have much to improve!
Mom is going to stay for a couple more weeks, it will be nice to have her here.

Black Eyes and Outside Time
The kids have been spending lots of time outside in the backyard. Unfortunately, one morning I heard Jenessa crying on the grass and I could tell she was in pain. She told me she had been hit in the face going down the slide. I found out later that she had been hit by Sienna (accidently) because Sienna was going up the slide as Jenessa was going down the slide. Jenessa ended up with a nice little black eye!

Logan's Version of Duck Duck Goose
Tonight we played several games of duck duck goose. Logan doesn't quite get the game (we haven't played it in a long time) but he had a great time running around in circles and tapping everyone on the head and saying their name!
Ketchup Week is over
Unfortunately, we didn't have any ketchup this week. I was completely out of ketchup friendly foods...I'll have to plan better next time!
It was a good week though. It was nice to take things at a slower pace...it made me want summer to get here soon! We did get the school things done that I wanted to accomplish. Kessiah got a good start on her 4-H record book. The kids enjoyed playing outside more. I got in a couple of games of Clue Jr.
We got summer clothes out for all the kids, but I'm still working on getting winter clothes put away...that is always such a process! So, I still have several diaper boxes (because that's what I store out of season clothes in...the big boxes from Sam's/Costco) lining one wall of the front room. Logan has a new favorite shirt. It's a red shirt with all the Toy Story character's on it...he calls it his "Buzz shirt" and I should have bought 7 of them so he could wear a clean one every day of the week!
We got started on softball season this week. Kessiah and Jenessa both had practices. I still haven't heard from Sienna's t-ball coach.
We ventured back to the library this week...all 5 kids and me! Our piano lesson time got moved so I decided to try the library reading time with Sienna and Logan. I dropped the books off in the book drop outside before we went in the library and that made a big difference. The outing went smoothly!
Ryan finished laying down our "outdoor carpet" or artificial grass. We have been discussing whether or not to put some in since we moved into this house. He found this at Sam's cheaper than anything else we had looked at and decided to get some. I have to say that it is nice to have. The kids have loved it, the dogs have loved it...and I love it too!
