4.10.11 new hair do, birthday, gymnastics, easter pics

Hello hello! Well it's fast Sunday and I'm starving my face off. I swear I could go with out two meals and be fine but when I'm fasting I am so hungry every time. But I'm so grateful for fasting and the blessings it brings. This fast we are fasting for my dad. He is in jail currently and needs the extra help that's for sure. I am just praying something will change. It's gone on for too long. Anyway....moving on.
Spring is here!!....well kind of. Yesterday it was snowing like crazy and today is butt cold,(LAAAAAME) but a few weeks ago we had some excellent weather and were able to get some stuff done in the yard. Here are the boys "helping".








A belt broke in our car...so fabulous. Luckily Landon and his dad could fix it and it only cost about 100 bones so not too bad. I'm so glad I have a handy man for a husband!! Linc helped out too. :)


The other day I came into the bathroom and found Linc doing Lukie's hair. So I interviewed Lukie about his new hair style. Here's how it went down.







Have you ever looked at something and thought...

I wonder what that would feel like up my nose? Well Linc did. I'm in the other room and all the sudden Linc starts screaming at the top of his lungs and pointing to his nose. The left side is bulging. My internal thoughts processing at 800 miles an hour "holy crap he's shoved something up his nose. I have reached a new level of mommydum. My kid has shoved something up his nose and I'm going to have to take him to the emergency room and their going to have to use little prongie things to shove up his nose and he's going to be freaking out the entire time...NO. focus. Appear calm." I push the top of the bulge and it pushed the button to the bottom of his nose where I can reach it. PHEEEEEEEEWWWWW! Never a dull moment with this kid around.

He has sooo much energy. It's kind of amazing how much energy he has. Well to release some of this energy I enrolled him in a little gymnastics class once a week. He goes with his cute little friend Polly that lives on our street. Here are some pics of the first time he went. They did pretty good!











Well I turned 27 on March 30th. 27....that's almost 30. I can't believe I'm that old! I know it's not that old compared to some but for some reason it just seems old. I had a great birthday. It started out by Meagan and her sister Tessie kidnapping me to iHop at 1am. I was laying there in bed when I heard some shuffling around in the car port. I immediately freaked out and woke Landon. This is how it went down.
ME (in a shouting whisper): Landon, LANDON! Wake up there is someone in the car port.
LANDON: Well why don't you go check it out.
ME: Are you kidding me???? You're the man. Please go check. PLEASE.
LANDON: Just go check it out. I'm sure it's fine.
ME: Um no. What kind of man are you sending your wife out to check to see if...
LANDON (interrupting): IT'S YOUR FRIENDS!
Then queue Meagan and Tessie singing happy birthday to me through the window. I run out and let them in and they dress me in crazy clothes and blind fold me and head to iHOP for some delicious breakfast. After breakfast we drove home and went to bed. It was SO FUN! I just love Meagan. I am so glad we are friends. She is the best. Great way to start out my birthday. During the day I went to lunch with my mom and sisters and my mom's friend Siomi to JCW's then we went to see a movie with Matt Damon in it. I can't remember what it's called at the moment. Anyway it was pretty good.












Then we had pizza, cake and presents at home with my sisters and Grandparents. They all chipped in and got me a sewing machine! I'm so excited to use it. It was a great birthday for sure! I usually throw cards away but I thought I would start putting down what people write in them since that is the best part.

Ralph and Heidi-
Amber, I hope you have a great Birthday. We love having you for our daughter-in-law. Love, Heidi and Ralph

Grandma Bean-
Dear Amber, What a precious granddaughter you are. I delight in seeing you with your darling boys. What a special mom you are! May the Lord bless you and your wonderful family. Love Grandma Bean

Meagan-
To my one & only wedgie bum friend! (that's another story)
Haha! We have so much fun & I'm looking forward to many more great laughs with you and of course Landy.(hee) I love you so much! I am glad we live 2 seconds away from each other! You are truly my favorite girl! Happy Birthday! Love, Mugs

Landon and the boys-
We all love you so much! You are so good to us. Thank you!
Love, your men!!
I love you so much sweetie, thank you for all you do. I will always stand by your side. I will be there to make you laugh and protect you, even when it's just your friends at our window. I love you with all my love, strength, charm, looks and humor. Forever yours, Hubby

Aren't those great?! I seriously am one blessed women. I'm so grateful for everyone in my life. Here are some pics of me b-day.







Landon and I had our 5 year anniversary this year!! I can't believe it's been 5 years. It feels like it's gone by so fast but at the same time I can't picture not being together. It's weird. I'm so glad I married my best friend!! I love you babe with all my heart and soul! Landon got me some flowers and put a card that said. "I love you sweetie. Let's make the rest of our lives as good as these past 5 years. Love you." These pictures were taken when we first moved into our house right after our 1 year anniversary.




We took the boys out for some new pictures. We got some cute ones but I'm a dummy and didn't get any of them together! doy! Oh well, next time huh.













Well that was a mighty long post! It took me a few days to finish actually haha. Well until next time. Mom signing out.
