America Concert and Jazz Game!!!

Bailey's school had an America Concert a few days ago, and they were asked to wear red, white, and blue! We remembered she has the perfect outfit that Nana gave her for her birthday for tumbling. She was so excited to wear it! It was a great concert!
That same week, Dan got tickets to the Jazz game. The kids started screaming with excitement when I told them we were going! It was a reward for Bailey getting awesome grades, and for Dexter's Birthday!

Poky and Easter

The kids had Spring Break last week and we went to Poky to see Nana and Papa. We also saw my grandma and grandpa, Mallory, Shane, and Brynlee, and a few of my friends that I never have time to see in Poky, Jeanie and Debbie! We went to the Rodeo Friday night, and the kids loved it!! They love seeing all of the horses and cows, but they love the muttin' bustin' best!!! It was a fun time. Saturday was busy from the Easter Egg Hunt, coloring Easter Eggs, Grandma and Grandpa Irish came over, and then the kids went with papa for a little while. We had a great time, and then came home to spend Easter with Dan.


This is just before we left for the Rodeo!

Dexter is 5 years old!!!

Today Dexter is 5 years old!!!
He is such a sweet boy. He is always coming up to me and giving me a kiss. He is a sweetheart to his sisters, and loves to tease them and make them laugh. He is definitley an extreme sports advocate. He loves anything that is athletic. He says, "when I grown up I am going to play golf, basketball, baseball, football, skateboard, and ride bikes." He is a joy in our lives and we lot him LOTS!!! Happy Birthday Dexter!!!!!


Notice the basketball he is sleeping with!!!

This was a few weeks ago in our driveway! Notice his fans in the background!

April Fool's Day

So, I was talking with a friend the night before this lovely day, trying to come up with some harmless pranks to do on my kids. After searching the Internet and laying in bed with the wheels turning, I decided on a few. First, after Bailey and Dexter were asleep I was going to put Dexter in Bailey's bed and Bailey in Dexter's bed. I took Dexter down and put him in Bailey's bed, and then tried to lift Bailey to carry her upstairs. Not happening!! She's almost as tall as me! So I just left Dexter in her bed. Thank goodness she has a queen bed! Next, I switched the toothbrush and toothpaste drawer with the hair brush drawer in the bathroom, and rolled a dollar in the toilet paper roll.
The next morning was hilarious. Dexter came in my room and I asked him, "Dexter what were you doing in Bailey's bed?" He said, "I don't know, for some reason I just woke up, and I was in Bailey's bed!!" I told him he should ask Bailey if she knew, and she not knowing what was going on, said,"I don't know Dexter, maybe you sleep walk like Jentri." I finally told them what was going on and they laughed and thought mom was silly! Next, Bailey goes in to use the bathroom and looks down when she finishes and finds a dollar bill, STRANGE?!! After breakfast, they go to brush their teeth and can't find the toothbrushes and toothpaste! So Funny!
After Bailey left for school, I had to bribe Dexter with a dollar to do the next joke. We called Nana and told her that we were having a baby!! Of course, she yells and is all excited! We led her on for a few minutes, until she asks Dexter if he is excited, I have him respond with, "not really, because it's April Fool's Day!" Such a fun day!!!!
