WE ARE STILL HERE!!

I don't know if I would go as far as saying that Michael "LOVES SCHOOL" but he likes it! here is Michael in a school protect, they had to investigate a person they admired and write about them, after much research, Michael wrote about the "Wright Brothers" they are the ones , that invented the airplane ( and other things) Michael wants to be an engineer when he grows up, so he thought it was very interesting. At the end of last month, the school had a "wax museum" and the kids had to act like the person they wrote about and have a poster with some information about them.. it was really fun! here are some of the pics!

I'm so sorry I haven't been posting anything in the blog, My computer broke and the one I have works really slow ( and it is the one I use to work, so I have to be very careful) Hopefully soon, we will get another one and I can go back to posting more often.

Here are some of the news, the kids are out of school ( and yes! I'm going crazy!!!) but it is fun to spend time with all of them together!( most of the time anyway!) Michael started Piano lessons, our bishop daughter is teaching him and only charging us $5 a lesson ( great deal!) Nicholle is very exited to start 1st grade, Caitlin is almost 2yrs old!! (times truly fly!!) and she has decided that wearing dippers is not fun, so she takes them off ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!! (not fun for us!!) so we are trying to patty train her...(emphases on the "TRYING!!!") Max, is enjoying work (way to much, if you ask me! he gets paid to go see movies and play wii!!!) and I'm trying to keep the balance between working, the kids, the house, primary and the big kid (dad). Life is great!!

HAPPY BIRTH DATE HONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE TALK!!

I guess as a mother you never look forward to have " the talk" with your kids, but I have always been of the idea that I want my kids to heard things form us. Michael has been slowly asking questions about How babies get into the mom's stomach, so yesterday after asking him about school, he mention something about sex,(some kid in school was talking about it, I wanted to know what he was told (I'm so grateful we have a good relationship and he knows, he can talk to us about anything. So the conversation began! Max came home and had the "Official talk with him". My little boy is growing up!

Uncle Darren ROCKS!!

I know this is so embarrassing!! Darren and Grandma Aleen came to visit us in MARCH!! and I 'm just posting this. It has been a little crazy lately, so ...sorry! While there were visiting Uncle Darren took Michael

Rock climbing, Michael LOVED IT!! and for what Darren told me, Michael was pretty good! Thanks Darren!!!

LAS VEGAS!!!!!!!!

We had so much fun in the trip to Las Vegas, the pictures above are form one night that Justin and Marisa went out, we had a make up party, it was so much fun!! We had a chance to spend one on one time with "the California Browns" and we really enjoyed it! Lainey was so impress with Michael's MP3player, they listen to some high school musical together.

We went to some fun places while in las Vegas, sorry you don't see the usual pics of the casinos, we tried to keep it as PG as possible (ha,ha)

Yes!!! Swimming in April!!!! it has hot there, so we got a chance to go swimming, if it was up to the kids the whole vacation would be spend in the pool

WHERE DID THIS LAST MONTH GO???

It is amazing how fast time is going by, we are in March already!! Anyway, Yesterday the Utah family got together to go rollerblading! it was so fun ( so I was told, Caitlin was not feeling well, so I stayed at home with her) the weather has been so nice lately! here are some fun pics.

Nicholle is really growing! I had parent teacher conference last week and her teacher said, she is very impressed with her ( she doesn't listen very well) but she is brilliant in school! ( great job Nicky!!) She is learning to read, so she loves books and she helps a lot by playing with Caitlin.

Michael's teacher said he is #1 in his class ( if you know Michael that is not a surprise!!!he is a smart little one!!!) He loves to listen to music and his favorite show right now is "Legend of the seeker" ( I have to admit I love watching it with him!) He is very responsible and a great help around the house (thanks Mike!!)

Max has been really busy with his work, but he always finds time to relax, we love to play "canasta" together. He is still the cub scout Master and he does a great job! and he is such a good team player in our house, he helps me a lot.. it is so fun how we fight to see who's turn it is to change Caitlin's diaper!! ( he always loses by the way!) (ha, ha)

Caitlin is getting so big ( in all ways possible! (ha ha) she is so cute!) We are trying to get her potty trained (emphasis on the trying!!!!) she loves blues clues and reading books, but specially she LOVES to spend time with Michael and Nicholle (she thinks they are so cool!) I love our family.. we have a lot of fun together!
