Valentine's Weekend
Kelseanja's Birthday, Mom and Kaloni visiting, Valentine's Day, and another birthday party for Kaloni's boyfriend, Jacob, all proved to be a long, yet fun-filled weekend. We had balloons, ice cream cake, presents, games, friends, and a whole lot of excitement!

Loose Tooth Lost
Well, Makayla finally pulled her first loose tooth out. It only took her a week. Last Tuesday when she came home from school she said: "The Toothfairy won't come if my room is messy, huh Mom? I guess I better go clean it then." I reminded her of that again now that her tooth is out. So we will see if she gets her room cleaned so the Toothfairy can come.

My Niece Annelise
After Christmas this year the kids and I went to see family down at my Grandma & Grandpa Harrop's House. Adam had to work which was sad because he was the only one not there, but what can you do when work needs him. Anyway, the kids and I couldn't wait to get there so we could see the newest member of the family, my little niece Annelise. She is my sister Lacey and her husband Dan's baby. My kids' first cousin on my side of the family. Isn't she so adorable in her little fairy outfit! We had a good visit seeing many family members. After our trip to Fayette, UT we went to Vernal, UT and spent a few more days hanging out with family there until New Years Day when we came home. It was so good to see all the family we did and only wished we could have spent more time with them.

What A Mess Times Two!
Today, I spent the good part of the late morning and early afternoon talking with my mom about Christmas presents. I checked on the kids a couple times. And once I even took a bag of rice away that Jaxton had found in the pantry and was in the process of spilling on the floor in the living room. "Good, extreme mess diverted" I thought. Nothing that a vacuum can't fix. Well, I went back to the computer because my mom and I were looking at things online.
Apparently, Jaxton decided to move on to bigger and better things. He decided to open and dump about five bags of various kinds of beans all over the floor in the living room. (Click on image to enlarge)
When I walked into the living room Kelseanja was asleep in the chair (because she is sick today) and Austin and Jaxton were making 'snow angels' in the beans causing beans fly in every direction. I swept the bulk of the beans into a a couple piles and set the boys to cleaning them up by putting the beans in large Ziplock bags. I was thinking that maybe we could turn this mess into bean bags later. Then I made the mistake of walking out of the room for a few minutes to catch my cool and call Kelsea's school to excuse her.
That is when the real 'extreme' mess happened...
When I was finished with the call, I walked back in to find the boys had cleaned up most of the beans, but then I saw the kitchen. While I was on the phone with the school, Jaxton decided to see what else he could play with in the pantry. Here is that recipe:
1 Jaxton
Some More Beans
1/3 bag of powdered sugar
1 lb of flour
Mix this altogether and you get:
AHHHHH! At least he didn't combine the brown sugar and the shortening into the mix. I keep reminding myself that it could have been worse and he is only a baby. I managed to keep my cool and cleaned up the mess. Then gave Jaxton a bath and put him down for a nap. (Note to self: Don't talk on phone unless Jaxton is asleep!)
Now you might wonder why I don't just invest in some door knob covers. Well, for most kids Jaxton's age that would work, but Jaxton is very smart and can open those already. Believe me, I have tried. And to think he isn't even two yet. It is going to be fun!
