I see a Hiney

When I was little my Mam-Maw sang this song..... " I see a hiney, It is white and Shiny, If you do not hide it, I am gonna bit it" when we would run around naked. My mom in Ivins (that is my moms maiden name) tradition sings it all the time to my little ones. Harris loves the song and dances to it, shaking EVERYTHING he has. Get ready for your mouth to smile. Sorry for the singing everyone! Hope you all enjoy!

A few of my favorite things

Saturday I woke up all alone. I am always the first one up. Aaron had packed bags for the kids, made babysitting arrangements.... (THANK YOU, NANA!) and was dressed and waiting on me. He had remembered amazingly enough that on that day 6 years ago we went on our very first date. We dropped the kids off, and drove to Gainesville to the beautiful botanical gardens. It was a great day. It was amazing weather. Flowers are one of the things I love in this world so it was perfect. Then we went to eat at Texas Roadhouse, YUMMY! Last we were off to the golf course in Stark. Then we came home and played outside on the swing set with the kiddos until Aaron went off to priesthood. After that the kids and I baked some sugar cookies for Mr. Easter bunny and off to bed. It was a great day. Full of a few of my favorite things and people.

At the Garden there was this tree that looked just like the thorny bush in Sleeping Beauty at the end of the movie. It was like being in a Disney movie.

All the Dogwood tree's were blooming it was beautiful and smelled outstanding.

They have a children's garden and this bush's limbs were all kinked and crimped.

Aaron saw this little earth worm crawling across from the walk way and since Abi was not there Aaron leaned right over and took it to safety.

We were off to enjoy the wonderful weather and Aaron played golf while I drove the cart. I love watching him play golf and focus. He made a record and hit 2 birdies in 9 holes. Which is when you hit the ball in the hole 1 stroke under par. I learned some new words and I also really enjoyed learning and watching him. It was perfect! Thanks babe, for being sweet and thoughtful

Good things in life!

Easter morning we were thrilled to check out our goodies from the Easter bunny, dye some eggs, bake some yummy food, and enjoy conference all together as a family. Aaron went to priesthood the night before and said it was the best meeting he had ever been to, so we knew we were in for a treat. We woke the kids up and like everything else down to even the way they wake up my children are 100% different. Abigail is like Aaron... wakes up very slowly. Harris wakes up laughing.

Then we dyed our eggs. Our finger tips are very colorful and the eggs were so fun.

Harris ate all the cracked ones with pleasure. Aren't my mean so Handsome? Like father like son!

Then we enjoyed conference. Harris napped in his crib, Abigail fell asleep cuddling on the couch before it even began. Which I have to be honest was really nice because Aaron and I enjoyed the whole conference together and all snuggled up on the couch. It was really excellent!Next we were off to my sisters for Easter. It was great! Great food, Great fun, and Great family. Does life get any better?

Then off to hunt eggs. Every year Papa hides the golden egg with $5.00 in it. All the kids hunted high and low but Kynleigh was the finder this year.

Every year our family gets bigger and bigger. Here are all the kids. Harris was great...... for about 3 minuets then he realized that there was candy in the eggs and was done. It was CUTE!

My favorite things about this Easter:

3 Full days of being with my hubby and kids

Hearing Harris talking over the monitor

Making Katheryn's great cheesecake cupcakes with Abigail

Watching conference and hearing our prophet speak

Enjoying Aaron do bath duty... it is nice since I always do it while he is at work

Listening to Aaron tell the story of the resurrection to Abi when he thought I was not listening

HAPPY EASTER 2010!

THE JAMMES FAMILY LOVES YOU ALL!

Balloons

My kids are in love- obsessed with balloons. At least once a day I blow up a balloon for each of them. The other day the kids were getting ready for their bath and Abigail asked if she could have her balloon in the bath. I was interested to see what would happen and to my surprise those dang balloons caused almost a hour of bath time fun. I cleaned my whole kitchen to the sound of giggles and laughter. It was perfect!
Abigail would fall on her balloon and it made Harris laugh so hard. I myself would laugh out loud at hearing him.

Look at that cute face! It is adorable. Don't you just want to kiss those cheeks? My suggestion for you ladies give your kids a bath throw in a balloon and listen to your little ones laugh. It was a great night!
