What season is it?

I thought it was SPRING, but I don't know because this is what we woke up to Sunday morning. And Jeff had to take a detour this morning for work because the onramp was closed because of ICE...yes ICE on March 31st!! This is the SEVENTH month in a row that it has snowed!

Looking on the bright side....I got to put Claire in her cute fleece suit that I love to snuggle her in...alright I love to snuggle her in anything, but especially soft fuzzy fleece!

AND, my kids love to play in the snow, so that is what they're doing...it's 35 degrees right now, I just checked (at 3:00 in the afternoon!)!!!

Chloe's egg being hurled off the roof...they don't just drop them, they throw them!

Chloe's is the cute decorated one! Thanks for the foam shapes Grammy!

Chloe with her egg! We packed it in some styrofoam that had fake paper easter grass, and packed that inside of a box with more grass and packing peanuts!! Then we wrapped it up and decorated it!!

It was finally warm enough...

to go to the park! It was supposed to be in the 60's, but the wind made it pretty chilly. But we still went!

Chloe and Olivia planned out a little picnic!

The BEST mom in the world!

I just wanted to share with everyone how awesome my mom is!! She came out to Utah for 2 1/2 weeks and stayed with us. A lot of people would get tired of having their mom around at their house for that long...not us!! Not even Jeff! She could have stayed for a lot longer! She was so helpful with the kids and everything when Claire came. She took Chloe and picked her up from school every day, she cooked dinner, helped get the kids ready, went and worked in Chloe's class for me...the list goes on and on! She is one of my best friends and is always there for us whenever we need her and would do anything for us! My kids absolutely adore her and miss her SOOOOO much when we're not around her (so do I)!!! She's amazing and I love her!! Thanks for everything Mom!!! You're the best!!

And she's so pretty too!!

2 WEEKS OLD!

Claire is 2 weeks old today!!! Today was my first time taking all three kids out by myself (mom's gone :( !) We went to Claire's 2 week doctor appointment. It wasn't too bad, we were a few minutes late though...it takes a long time to get out of the house sometimes!!

Here are her stats...

8 pounds 8 ounces (She was 8 pounds even at birth and 7 pounds 6 ounces at her 2 day appointment...she gained a little over a pound in 12 days)

21 1/2 inches long....which I don't think is very accurate. The girl that was measuring her didn't have the pen straight when she was marking where her head was on the paper so I think she's not quite that long!
