Bubble Wrap

Nate got a huge package of equipment today. Inside, the boys found a treasure!! Bubble Wrap, and lots of it!! It was the highlight of their day. All day long I heard bubbles popping from being jumped on and pinched. What simple pleasures!!

Happy St. Patricks Day

St. Patricks Day has always been a special holiday in our family, because my sister Becky gets to celebrate a green birthday every year on March 17. Happy Birthday Becky! The big 23!! This year, Jaxton had preschool on St. Patricks Day and they went all out with the holiday! The kids made 4 leaf clover hats, wands, and ribbons proclaiming their loyalty for Ireland. Then at the end we were invited to see their St. Patrick's Day Parade! What fun. Even Cooper got to be a part of the parade! It was one of the first nice sunny days yet this spring. What a fun day!

Cooper & Mom Time

Jaxton is at preschool 2 mornings a week, so Cooper and I get some time to spend together. It is really fun to give him all my attention, and he loves it! Here we are playing his most favorite game. It takes years to get all set up and then is over in about 30 seconds!! That's the excitement of a 2-year-old!

House Construction: March 15

They have all the stone laying outside ready to put up on the exterior of the house.

Here is all the siding for the back and sides of the house ready to put up.
Can't wait!

C...C...Pooper

Cooper calls himself Pooper. So we tried to get him to make the letter C sound before saying his name. Unfortunately it did no good. He will say, "C..C..Pooper."

A Sunbeam

Jaxton is a Sunbeam this year! He is just growing up so fast!! He loves Sunbeams. He has no fear! We take him to the Primary room and he just runs in there without looking back, all the way to the front row where his class sits. He just loves it! Of course at first, and still sometimes, he didn't realize that he had to sit still so much and be reverent so much. I was told that the first or second Sunday he and a friend of his went running up around the podium in the middle of Sharing Time! Since then, I have not heard any bad news, so I think he is learning that Primary is fun, but also a reverent place. I am so glad he loves it.

************

Yesterday, Jaxton got upset about something. So he left the room pouting and said he didn't want to eat anymore or do anything. I said, OK, that is fine. I let him go pout by himself. A couple minutes later he comes running back into the kitchen with a huge smile on his face. He said, "I'm happy again, Mom. I sang a song about Heavenly Father and Jesus and I got happy!" That just melted my heart. How sincere and innocent a child of Heavenly Father he is!
