30 DAYS OF BIRTHDAY SO FAR...
To spare you any useless repetitive details, each note contained a similar beginning:
"On the second day of Happy 30th Birthday you will get from me
read below to see what it will be..." and each day it would change to the third, then the fourth and so on, I also had each note printed in different color fonts and font types each day and I highlighted the number "30" in the above quotations and then below each poem was a little goofy phrase that correlated with the gift and the number 30 which was also highlighted on the bottom
I posted the pictures of the first day of birthday on my last post so here some are the rest...

Day 2
I really love how you are so jolly
Even though Christmas is over and we put away the holly
You never have a frown
even when you’re down
I think its so sweet
that you deserve this treat...

Day 4
I gave him a small crock pot just for dip and all the fixings and then invited some friends over to surprise him and watch the game.
You may not like Cheetos,
but we know you like Fritos
As long as they have chili and cheese too
this is going to be a fun night for you
with your favorite team the Utah Jazz
we will all watch the game and act like a spaz!

Day 5
I gave him dinner and movie certificates to this food and a flick night.
Since my plans for golfing won’t work
because you went without me like a jerk
I came up with a new choice
but it’s going to make you use your voice
We are going out on a date
So get ready and don’t be late
It’s a dinner and a movie
now doesn’t that sound groovy?!!
Be ready to go at 6:30

Day 6
Chad was the auctioneer for a benefit auction for battered women and I bought this there for him.
In an effort to try something new
I have this gift certificate for you
I know you don’t like sushi
or anything really mushy
but why not give it a shot
just give it all you’ve got

Day 7
I know you are into learning about history
so this shouldn’t be such a mystery
Inside this bag you may find
a better way to unwind
I hope you enjoy this book
go ahead take a look...

Day 8
We live in sunny St. George, but we still get cold weather
Not so cold you’d need a sweater made of down feather
Lucky for you I found a lighter one
I went shopping all over to find it but I really had fun
Now open it up and try it on
If it doesn’t fit just give it to Jon

His bigger gifts are coming soon!!!!! I am so excited for him to get them! Stay tuned, next week I will post the pics!
Easily Distracted...
We stopped on our way our to the car to look at this cute little baby bird that was on the sidewalk. When the kids came closer it ran under the bush. They wanted me to get a picture of it but you can't see it here. All you can see is all these kids crouched down and making noises to lure it back out towards them. I think I got a good picture considering it's my kids I want to remember not the birdy!
My life is so hilarious thanks to Chase...
What little boy loves cars so much he will sit and "read" the owners manual to a truck just to see pictures of it?
He would point and say "Dadda truck, Dadda Truck tire, Dadda Truck door...."
Here he is playing puppy...
Looking out the window for his Daddy to come home...
Sad I told him Daddy won't be home until later...
Happy when I said he can have a puppy cookie and some "coco"
(that's code for chocolate instant breakfast)...
(that's code for chocolate instant breakfast)...
Here he is watching that cute show Bubble Guppies with his coco clutched under his arm
(ignore the fact that he is using his sister's pink sippy cup). I love to watch this kid all the time he just does the cutest things and I am so happy that I am his Mommy!
Best Saturday Yet!

It all started with me getting my hair appt. scheduled...I thought having lots of fun plans every weekend was the only way to enjoy it, but I was wrong. This weekend we did NOTHING! We stayed home and didn't do anything too special. It was great! First thing I did was make some yummy brownies...
I love the way they make my house smell!
Meanwhile, the kids were ALL playing together so nice OUTSIDE. Where else can you enjoy great weather outside with no coats on in the middle of winter? I love it here in St. George!
They were so funny to hear them playing horses. They of course needed a picnic outside to feed the horses and the horse caretakers. Then they had to create a house for them outside with rocks, sticks, and grass. Then they needed a nap.
Dad was so sweet to go do a little yard work and play with them outside while I tended to the brownies!
Then dad went paintballing with the neighbors while Chase napped. Emma and Taylor had a friend come over for a bit too.
They watched a movie and had popcorn with their Barbie's...
I got some deep cleaning done... It was so nice to be at home relaxing! For dinner I didn't want to make a mess so we went out to get pizza and play at Jumpin' Jacks to wear the kiddos out. It was a really great weekend!
Points Chart:
This picture is not very clear but we started a great reward system at our house. I have these charts that track their good and bad behavior for a week and at the end of the week they can cash them in for money or prizes. For example they get 4 points for doing homework, 2 points for picking up toys, 2 points for brushing their teeth, etc. Then they also get deducted points if they do something wrong like -5 Points for arguing with parents, -2 points for leaving a mess, -3 points for arguing with siblings, etc. Then you add up the points and deduct the negative ones. Emma ended up with 51 points and Taylor ended up with 56 points. They wanted cash instead of a prize so Emma got $5.10 and Taylor got $5.60 (we pay .10 a point). The crazy thing about this chart is that if we threaten to take off points they freak out more than if we threaten time out! I would have to say I have enjoy the past few weeks of great behavior from my kids. If you are struggling with your kids, just try this approach, we love it!
