Mother's Day

I hope everyone had a happy Mother's Day. Drew made me breakfast in bed and made dinner with his Dad and Brother-in -Law for all of the Mom's in his family. I had a nice day and the weather was beautiful. We went out to Lewisville before church and put some flowers on my Mother's grave. The last few years we have taken pictures. I thought I would post them so you could see how my kids have grown.

Mesa Falls

I went to Mesa Falls on Friday with my friends Dorian and Melissa. Drew was MIA because he went up to the cabin with his scout group. It was a nice day and the waterfall was huge because of the spring runoff. The falls are not open for the season yet so we didn't even have to pay the park fee. We had a picnic dinner and fed the fish on the Warm River. It was a fun day. Thank you for inviting us Dorian and Melissa.

40 Horse Cave

Yesterday we went with Drew's family to 40 Horse Cave. It was a fun little hike up the mountain and the canyon was beautiful. When we got up to the cave Will and Isabelle's cousins told them that bats would come out and bite them so the kids were scared and we didn't stay to long at the cave. I think the kids also knew that there were cookies back at the cars.

Easter at the Cabin

We spent this Easter at Drew's family cabin. The weather was beautiful and we had such a nice relaxing weekend.

















Here is a video of our colored eggs. At the end you can hear Kate try to say Isabelle's name.

Here is a video of Easter morning.

A Party and 24 Pencils

The Harris family had a lot of fun over conference weekend. On Saturday night we had a pot luck here at the house and then the guys went to Priesthood session while the ladies played games. The kids had a blast and we had some yummy food. Here's a picture of some of the kids. I forgot to take out the camera until after a few families had left.

On Sunday we had a nice relaxing day watching conference at home but I guess we were not watching the kids very closely because Sunday night Isabelle said she had a belly ache. An hour after bed time she threw up and it had a bunch of pink stuff in it. Isabelle had eaten the erasers off of 24 pencils! I hope she has learned her lesson because she threw up at least 3 times that night. Yuck!

Girls's Weekend

This last Friday, Saturday and Sunday I went up to Drew's family cabin with 14 other ladies. We had so much fun! We are definitely going to have to do this again. We played lots of fun games, sang karaoke, played Wii and had lots of yummy food and treats. Thank you girls for such a fun weekend. Here are some pics...

I'm BAD at Blogging

Well the title says it all. I am really bad at blogging. I knew even before I started this blog that I would have a hard time keeping up with it so I am going to try harder. Here is the family update. January was pretty uneventful. February started out with a trip to Seattle to visit my sister Kathleen and her family. It was so much fun and we really needed the vacation. We got to go to the Pacific Science Museum, the Naval Museum, IKEA, and a bakery that had the best donut I have ever tasted(It was shaped as a gingerbread man with maple frosting and chocolate buttons.) It was nice to visit with Kathleen and Chris and they even watched our kids so we could go on a date. Thank You! On Friday, February 13th Will had his 5th birthday. He was so excited to turn 5. We had a family party and Will and Isabelle decorated his cake. Will comes up to me every few days and tells me he wishes he could have a birthday everyday. He is all ready looking forward to turning 6. Will and Isabelle have started a new game called spies. They have been playing this for about a month now and they like to tote "Spy Kate" around with them. Everyone in the family is a spy except me, I am the "Teacher". I don't mind though because I can give them missions like "clean Isabelle's room" and "get me a drink of water" it has been fun. Kate is almost 10 months old now and has been crawling around for about a month. She is really getting fast and loves to follow everyone around. She is also really good at entertaining herself and likes to smile and imitate us. If we blow in her face she tries to blow back and if we click our tongue she clicks back. She will even give kisses but they are always open mouth with her tongue hanging out. Drew and I are doing well. He has been working on his next book Tally Cat and I'm trying to recover from the flu. I have been in bed since Wednesday. I guess I should have gotten the flu shot. I have never been this sick before. I think it was worse than all three pregnancies combined. But I am getting better and can't wait for this weekend. My friends and I will be going up to Drew's family cabin to have a girls weekend. No husbands, No kids (well except for nursing babies of course) and No responsibilities. Whoo hoo! I will definitely post pictures of the fun.
