Bennett desperately needs his hair cut, but we even mention the word and he flips out. He throws his arms over his head and immediately starts howling. I've tried bribbing him, forcing him, and (well thats about it) but he still freaks out. What in the world am I suppose to do? I need suggestions. His hair has gone from bad to worse! P.S. On a side note - Jacks is still an angel. He causes me no trouble. ;)

Drama King!

I just had to post these pics for Michelle. I don't think she fully believed me when I said Bennett is all about the facial expressions. The pics were taken one right after the other. They make me laugh every time I look at them.

Lesson Learned

You know that old adage: How many kids does it take to destroy your couch? Well I found out! It takes 3.

I left them in their room playing. I was gone all of 4 minutes. I came back to this! Bennett (I'm sure he's the ring leader in everything) had unzipped the coushion and they all had a hay-day pulling out all the stuffing. They were having so much fun, they didn't even realize I was there until I took the picture. When they noticed, Bennett and Ethan immediately looked scared to death. They knew they were in trouble. All I had to say was "go sit in the chair" and they quietly and with no fuss went and sat down. Unfortunatly, (for me) Jacks didn't even realize I was in the room. He continued to play and have fun, but was startled when I said his name. Even he knew he was being naughty.

Arizona, here we come!

We took a trip down to Pinetop, Arizona to look at a job on the Whiteriver Reservation. Matt's decided to join the army and is packing us all up so he can work for IHS (Indian Health Services). I was really excited at first of the Arizona prospect. Especially after the winter we've had this year. Little did I know! Pinetop's elevation is 7000 ft. (about 1000 higher than here) and Pinetop is the resort/ski town of Arizona. What a bummer!!! The ski hill is only about 20 minutes away from us. I was really looking forward to the no snow, warm all the time thing. However, we have decided to still go, even though I've decided to do some mild grumbling about the weather. The only pictures I took were of the boys at a park we found. The parks up there only have dirt and gravel surrounding them, so Bennett and Jacksen had a fun time getting down and dirty.

Obsessed!

Okay, so now I'm completely obsessed with my blog. I've just recently learned how to use the digital scrapbook pages for my template. Yesterday, I figured it out by playing around with my moms blog. (Because let's face it...I didn't want to mess mine up if I made a wrong move :) ) Now I've changed mine, I'll probably change Michelle's, and if I can, I'm going to get Kim to start one up so that I can play with hers. I know, I know. I really need to get a life!

Addicted to Swimming

Bennett is obsessed with swimming. That's all he wants to do anymore. He's constantly saying,"I wanna go to the swimming poo?" So the other day he ran into his room, rummaged around in his draws, and came out dressed in his swim shorts, along with his top and flip-flops. (P.S. I need to give him the 411 on socks and sandals). Then last night after Matt got home I left to go shopping. When I got home Matt informed me that the only way he could get Bennett to wear his pajamas was to let him wear his swim shorts. I woke Bennett up this morning by taking a picture, but I couldn't miss the photo opp.

I got tagged

Who Do You Love? Matt, Bennett, Jacks, and of course the rest of my fam.
How Long Have You Been Married? 5 years
Who Said I Love You First? Matt did. I started hyperventilating soon after so I don't think he really expected me to say it back anytime soon.
How Long Did you Date? Probably around a year and a half.
Where Did He Propose? The first time was on the Green Belt in Idaho Falls. The second time he just turned to me suddenly and said something like, "So are we going to get married or what?" (The first time I once again started hyperventilating about 2 weeks before the wedding so we thought it best if we posponed getting married for a while)
Who Is Taller? Matt
Who Is Smarter? Matt, that's a no brainer
Who Does The Laundry? This one belongs to me
Who Pays The Bills? Matt confiscated that responsiblility from me (because he is smarter). It also had to do with my lack of knowledge on how to balance a check book
Who Mows The Lawn? If we had one it would probably be Matt. Well I would probably do it to. Maybe.
Who Cooks Dinner? Although Matt promised me he would cook when we were engaged, I have yet to see that happen. So for now it's usually The Olive Garden, Wendy's, Arby's, and on Sundays my mom.
Who Drives? Wow! Once again Matt does. I really do do things around here. I swear!

Feels Like Summer!

We were all so happy to get out this weekend. Bennetts been like a caged animal this winter. It was nice to finally let him get out and run. Jacksen also got his first experience with the swing. He loved it!! He screamed with delight the entire time. We all had so much fun. Unfortunately, since this is Idaho, the winds have picked up and would blow us away if we went outside again today. Oh well! We cherish the days we had, right?

So Michelle created this blog and told me to keep up with it. I thought, Who in their right mind would create a website dedicated to themselves and expect others to look at it? Okay, so you've probably figured it out by now that I'm WAY behind the times. I had no idea so many people have blogs. I've discovered a whole new world! Practically everyone I know has one. So I figure, What the heck, I might as well have one too. I'm not going to promise anything exciting, and most of my jibber-jabber will be mind numbing, but I suppose I'll have fun doing it!
