Busy...Busy...Busy!!

Well I am officially over busy!! I have been running my Day Care for almost a year, it has been great! I just seem to be alot more busy these days. I currently have 4 Day Care kids and my 2, I will be adding my niece to that number for the next 2 weeks while her parents are in China. I am really excited for her to come and I am sure it wont even phase me having one more. I currently have Ayden-8 months, Ahshaunah- 5 years old, Jessina- 2 years old, Ryan- 2 years old, Ethan- 22 months, & Myllie- 5 years old. Needless to say I am busy.....busy.....busy!!! Between Diapers, Meals, Activities, Potty Training, Bottles, Crafts, Teaching the older girls their Alphabet in anticipation for school in the fall, Playing, Cleaning up, Keeping my house Clean, Still being a Mom and all that entails...etc. I am one busy person!! I like staying busy though. It is making the last 6 months in the Air Force fly by. After the Day Care is over (about 5pm) I exercise for about an hour or so, that is the one little thing I do for myself that I will absolutely not give up. Scott is wonderful and helps out all that he can. He will make the kids dinner, bath them, put them to bed, all so I can have a nice relaxing shower after my work out and long day. He is so amazing doing all this for me after he has also worked a full day. I am truly blessed & so happy, even if I am over busy and my days blur together......LOL I wouldn't change a thing!!

Daddy's Home!!!

Scott is home! He walked in the door about 6:15 this morning. It was nice to see him and finally have him home. He went into Myllie's room to say good morning, she was so excited! She gave him a big hug and kiss then went back to bed. Ethan wasn't up yet. Scott and his friend drove in the wee hours of the morning just to come home. They left at 1:30am, part of the freeway was closed so they had to take a big long detour. After sleeping in a hotel bed for a month he fell into our bed and was asleep before I even left the room. I will have some cute pictures of him and the kids later today. For now I will let him sleep....HaHa....If the kids will let him. Welcome Home Scott!!

Crazzy Daze

Today I took Myllie & Ethan to Mountain Home's Annual Crazzy Daze Carnival. They had so much fun!! I don't like going to things by myself and not having anyone to talk too, but I didn't want the kids to miss out on the carnival though. So we went and I am glad that we did. We all had fun!!
Waiting in line for tickets. There was so much to see that Ethan was very distracted.
This was the first ride that Ethan has ever been on. Myllie loves rides, as you can see. He wasn't quite sure he liked this ride. By the second time he rode it he was having fun.
Ethan finally smiled on this ride!!
They had alot of fun holding their ticket and standing in line, and then being able to hand their ticket to the guy overseeing the ride. It was cute to watch them. They are both getting so big and so independent.
This was the only game that was really little kid friendly. They got to choose a duck and on the bottom of the duck was a letter determining their prize. They had a blast with it. Ethan didn't care about the prizes, he just wanted to keep picking up the ducks and throwing them back in the pool.
Being cute! Myllie and Ethan would wave at me every time they came around.
Yummy Ice Cones (As Myllie called them) It was so hot, the kids had to eat them fast so they wouldn't melt. They were pretty Yummy!!

This was the last ride of the day. They kids had a blast!! They were pretty tired and just worn right out. They both fell asleep in the car on the way home. I can't wait to be able to take the kids to the Carnivals that I grew up going too, Payson's, Spanish Forks, and Springville's. We all had a good day but wished Scott could have been with us. He comes home next week!!! YEAH....He will be home on the 21st. It has been a long month without him but it is better than a 6 month deployment. The kids have really missed him!! I am glad that the fun summer stuff is finally here and we get to spend lots of time outside, I love summer time.

Playing in the Backyard

While Scott has been gone, I keep my kids busy by letting them play outside all evening. It has been awesome weather, and I am glad that Spring is finally here!! YEAH!!! I think my kids would live outside if I let them. They play all sorts of make believe games. It is great fun to watch!! I thought this one was cute of Ethan. He was actually Growling at me........I couldn't stop laughing! Myllie has really been enjoying playing Soccer lately. When we move home she would like to Dance like her cousin Haylee and play Soccer on a team. She is so funny and growing up so fast!! I love taking pictures of my kids. They are too cute!! Of course, I am their Mommy so I would say that no matter what. LOL......I love them bunches!! Myllie told me that Tree's need hugs too.......Haha...... Myllie enjoy's trying to climb this tree, and Ethan is just so curious and has to check out everything. I think this tree is really pretty all in bloom. I have fun playing with my kids and it is defineatley good exercise chasing them around our big backyard. It will be alot more fun when Scott comes home and can join in on the fun!! We miss him TONS!!!

Happy Spring To Everyone!!
