Off with her wheels!

For the past week we have been loosening Kassidy's training wheels. Then yesterday she said she was ready to take them off. So that's just what we did. We had a couple of falls of course, but in the end she was telling me to let go! Yesterday she had wheels and today none! And she was riding like a champ! She is growing up so fast and I'm enjoying every minute. And Tripp is a stud on his pink scooter. He cruses down that hill!

That sneaky Leprechaun

I know it almost took me a week, but life gets crazy sometimes, RIGHT? Well St. Patty's day was so much fun! Last year I completely forgot about it, but this year we really got into it. When Kass woke up she noticed that the leprechaun drew on everyone feet and legs. Even drew on Tripp's face! :) He left clothes in the refrigerator, turned the milk, eggs and our toilet water green! Kassidy thought it was so funny. She wanted to catch that sneaky leprechaun so badly! Then later that day we went to the park to enjoy the wonderful weather we have been having. What a great day!

OOPS

Well Tripp finally road his bike to death! We were about half way home when his handle starts to wobble... Then about 30 seconds later he breaks the darn thing right off. Oops. He kept trying to stick it back on, then he tried to ride it without. Nope that didn't work. Personally I was kinda happy to see the thing go. He was about 2 bike rides away from tearing a hole right through his shoe. Ty says, "it's all part of being a boy." I say ummm are you kidding me? I just bought those last month!!!! On the up side I only paid $2.00 for that bike and he rode it for a year! Now he is stuck riding Kassidy's scooter, which is PINK! :)

Don't Mess!

I am so proud of Kassidy. She has been working so hard to get her next belt. She came out of class with a smile from one ear to the other and a new belt in her hands! :) She is now white with yellow stripe. I think Tyler's plan is for her be a black belt before she can start dating! lol! Watch out everyone this girl knows TAE KWON DO!!!

We are crazy people!

It's been so nice the past few days that it made me sick to be inside. We went and played at the park...puddle city! Tripp seemed to find everyone without fail! Kassidy my sweet princess wanted nothing to do with them. When we walked back to the car I almost slipped down the hill it was so muddy. I turned to tell Kass, but by then she had already slid all the way down on her butt! She was very upset, but I was just a bit more. I had things to do, and didn't have time to run home and change her clothes. Then I remembered the "Emergency Pants" for Tripp. Tried them on Kass and it worked! She thought it was so funny and told me to take a picture, then she wore them all day! Afterwards at the grocery store Tripp passed out on Kassidy, and I had to capture that moment!

Then the next day after Tyler got home went went for a hike around Hinckley lake! It was so muddy out there!! And yet so beautiful! The kids where in the stroller and Tyler was carrying his backpack.(which was loaded up with 50 pounds in chains) We kept switching off, stroller backpack. He hated giving up his backpack, but I wanted in on the fun too! :) You would have thought we where training for the Olympics the way we ran up the hills. It was so funny! We got some weird looks from people, but who cares I know we're crazy!

Hands Up For The Stand Up!!!!

This book has been in our house/ by our toilet for the past month while Tripp has been doing the potty thing. I highly recommend this book! I checked out a ton of different books, but this one was one of the few that actually used a toilet seat, not a potty chair! And it was the only one Tripp really liked. We've had this book from day one, and its due back this week. Every time he would sit down to go he wanted to read "The Potty Train." Which was fine, its a cute book, plus it kept him there long enough to do his business. I thought for sure I was gonna have to buy this book from the library. But he slowly weened off it. :) He is such a trooper! Today was the first time he gave standing up a try! Success! He thought it was so cool. The proud moments. :)

Just some random things..

-First just so you know, if you forget your tennis shoes in a locker at the gym... Someone will take them, or in other words "they get lost." :(

-If you workout in your old shoes that are to small for you cause you've "lost" your new ones, you will get foot pain.

-Apparently your feet can still grown when your 25! What?

-If you give my kids ice cream two nights in a row, they run around farting all day.

-We where getting ready to read scriptures the other night and Tripp grabbed the Book of Mormon and said "and it came to pass, blah blah blah and it came to pass." ( some of you may not understand this one. Lol)

-If you give your daughter a scrubber and a bowl with water and soup she will clean the kitchen floor. Pretending that she is cinderella of course:)

-Even if you tell Kassidy your tired and your only going to read one story... She works her magic and you end up reading 10!

-Signing Kassidy up for kindergarten was fun and she was so excited. Till she found out the she still has 6 months before she can go... Not cool mom!

While Ty's away

While Tyler was gone this weekend the kids and I made the mother load of forts. Well maybe not the mother load, but you work with what you got!! It was awesome. We stayed up and watched peter pan! Its so fun getting to act like a little kid again!!
