Alot to talk about.....

Well alot has been going on. First...Makena got to read to a therapy dog. It was great. It is a program that the library sets up to make children more excited and confident in reading. She loved it.
Then some sisterly love. Next we flew kites. Doesn't sound like much right....except we were in a severe weather watch for high winds. Both of the kites broke with in 10 min. lol
Some cute pictures with Makena loving Shelby.
Whats baking. Funny story. I decided to make a "marble" cake. So the girls helped. After everything was done and in the oven. I was confused never making one before and saying "I don't understand how this is suppose to be a marble cake?" Then I lifted the box and thought "That is a little heavy for an empty box...and then I saw it....the chocolate pack. lol That was the worst blond moment in a while. About as bad as me gluing my fingers together. LOL. Good times.
We have a mama bunny nesting under our porch! We told the kids it was the Easter Bunny.
The Blizzard! We have been having awesome weather. One day was 80. Then just yesterday we had a blizzard with 6 in. of snow. So we thought this morning was the last time to go sledding and found a great hill. Good times.
Decorating for Easter. Now I'm not really a big decorator..well Christmas I am. But I thought that the kids would like to. So we made paper egg cut outs. Colored and put them all over the front windows and inside of our door. It was alot of fun.
And this long shpreal wouldn't be complete with Makenas many crazy face photos.

UPDATE!

Good new/bad. It was a UTI. Which is good because now I know why she was doing it. And bad that she is holding it. Which we are having a really big talking to about. And stuffing her full of water.

HELP MOTHERS!!

I have a problem. My Makena has been potty trained for almost a year. And she has gone through the normal ups and downs of that. But just in the last week or so she holds her #1 to the point where she can't make it to the potty. And is starting to hold #2. Well I don't know if this is for attention or maybe she doesn't want to go because she has a UTI. She does scream when she has an accident. She says that it burns her legs. I really am having a hard time with this. And as everyone who knows me....I'm short on the patience. I have told her that if she wants to pee on the floor and can't make it to the bathroom then we are going to put her back in diapers. Which is freaked out about, "NO WAY MOM" she said. She I'm begging anyone that has any advice. I think that I'll take her to the doctor to get the all clear on the UTI. But I'm going crazy. HELP MOMS!

UTAH

USN interview

We just returned from Utah. We had a great visit with all of our friends and family. It was so great to see how much things are the same and how things have changed. Davids kids (my brother) are so big. My cute sister in law is pregnant. Which I keep seeing really cute things that I want to buy her. My cousin who is expecting her second little girl...Emma is so sweet Katie. Saw my friend Shane that I haven't seen in 3 years. A my best girl Crystal who I can never see to much of. We even swung by Mitchells old work to say hello. There is so much to say. We loved it.

But now the whole reason that we were in Utah...THE INTERVIEW!! Well it was a little bumpy before the interview. The hot water got shut off and I forgot Mitchells dress shoes. But he got there on time. He said that it went really well. That the interviewer told him "great job". So he was feeling very confident. We should hear back yes or no by May 15.

Thanks again to my dear grandmother who let us stay with her. She is the rock of our family. A true gem. I love her more than I can express. And thanks to my mom for helping me at the airport and the adorable dresses!
