Both of the boys had birthdays in February! Wow....Kip turned 7 and Sier turned 5. When Kip was born I would always wonder to myself "I wonder what my life is going to be like when he's five years old." Now Sier is 5...What the crap???....and I'll have another little one in just a few months! AHHH....what am I doing? We let them choose what or where they wanted to go to dinner for their birthdays. Kip chose 50 chicken nuggets from McDonalds (and he was sick on his birthday, no fun) Sier chose Tepinyaki...with NO help from me. We didn't have any friends parties for them this year, and it was SO NICE NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT! I really am going to try for that next year to, but I don't think they'll let me get away with it again.
Kip got Marks old pellet gun for his birthday, and was so excited! He thinks it's so awesome because it was his dads. He also wanted a chess set so dang bad...(I know Nerd!) Mark doesn't know how to play chess very well, and I have no idea how to play. Apparently he knows though! One of our friends comes over to play with him, so he's learning.
Sier wanted more of his "star wars collection". He loves those things. They are little star wars guys that are short and squatty...and he has almost all of them! He carry's them everywhere, and almost always has one in his pocket. Kip got him some little batman guys also, and wrapped it in Barbie wrapping paper. Sier was so mad at him! He didn't even want to open his present.

I love my kids!
my hands and knees anymore. (don't come over right now, our kitchen floor is pretty gross. I keep telling myself that if it gets bad enough Mark will just break down and buy me one!) I want the rose bushes to prune and move themselves to where I 
really want them. I want the trees to bloom and bud. I want our doors painted! I want the 15 yards of concrete that we need to pour RIGHT NOW! I want Kip to learn to hold still so I don't have to take him to have tests for ADD...seriously he can't hold still and pay attention for any length of time, and it's become a huge problem at school and practices. I want a bigger tax refund. I want to crave food that's good for me instead of chocolate cinnamon bears, twix, and french fries. I want to go on Vacation! I want my face to stop breaking out!!! I want a new dishwasher...even a KSL dishwasher. I want, I want, I want!!! I better get busy.
