• This week flew by. I worked almost every day and Addy and I worked two more cookie booths for Girl Scouts. Luckily the weather was BEAUTIFUL this week. High 60's/low 70's! It felt so good to have some warm sun and spring in the air.
• Thursday was MY BIRTHDAY! The big 31! Maybe I haven't mentioned this but I live it up on my birthday now. Every other holiday is work as a mother because you're so busy making sure it's special for the kids so this is the one day that I can do whatever I want:)
• I didn't have to work on Thursday so I woke up to lots of balloons and cards from my sweet hubby and the kids, exercised, relaxed with a little Duck Dynasty, and met up with  Elizabeth at Chick Fil' A for lunch. (which I did not cheat at!) Then Addy and I headed over to Smiths for a cookie booth and after that we met up with Todd and the other two kids. Todd and I decided to have our weekly free meal on my birthday so we ate (pretty) healthy at Cafe Rio and then went over to Thanksgiving Point for ice cream sundaes and cake. It was all really yummy and so fun to spend time with my family.
• I felt so loved by all the calls, gifts, and messages on my birthday. It's so nice to be remembered! 30 was really a fantastic year so I am so excited for what 31 has to bring.
• I just have to mention that on Tuesday when Bodee found out that my Birthday was in a couple of days he got SO MAD! He wanted it to be his birthday and kept on telling me so. Luckily he enjoyed the cake and ice cream just as much as the rest of us:)
• The following pictures were taken at Thanksgiving Point.

• The only present I wanted from Todd was to get my engagement/wedding rings cleaned and polished and...they look like new! I love them! 

• Chad, Todd's brother, had come up to Lehi for the week because their kids had spring break and so he could help Chris with the big bathroom remodel. The girls were sad because they hadn't been able to see their cousins that much yet so on Friday the kids headed over the Grandma and Grandpa's with Todd while I worked. 
• Saturday was my LAST day of working Saturday basketball games! Todd took the kids back over to his parents to help his Dad with the bathroom. Suzie was also there with her kids cleaning before Cathy got home so our girls pitched and as soon as I got off work I headed over there to help with the cleaning as well. The girls had a wonderful day hanging out with their cousins and got to serve their grandparents as well.
• Sunday was St. Patrick's Day. Of course the leprechauns came and brought the kids a green breakfast and a few green treats. Besides that we were not that exciting. No leprechaun trap, no green diner...I just can't get into St. Patrick's Day. There's too many holidays!

• So Bodee is at the stage of "I do it myself" It is driving Todd and I nuts! It takes forever to do anything because if you try to do something for him he gets mad and redoes it himself. Such as, you close the car door, he cries and then runs back to open the door and then proceeds to shut it himself. Or he insists on getting his own pj's on, which is terrific but doesn't tell mom and takes off his poopy diaper as well and gets poop everywhere and mom gets to clean it up. So Gross! Luckily he's pretty fun and cute the rest of the time:)
