Tyler's Hottness

At the Hart dinner table:

Audrie: "You know if girls saw you doing that they would totally fall in love with you."
Tyler: "I know."
Audrie: "Girls totally LOVE that kind of stuff!"

Apparently eating an entire muffin with chopsticks is super hot in Audrie's eyes ;) And to top it off Tyler was already in the know about it all...oh the minds of my children! Definitely keeps me rollin'!!

Spring Break

Our spring break was low key, but we did get to spend it with some wonderful people! We did a lot of baby holding and game playing, which was super fun. Audrie has been trying to help more with the baby and I just think she looks SO DANG CUTE holding the babe that I had to share. Isn't that darling?

Here are all the kids that we had in the house (actually minus 2 baby's). The Bush kids Brandon and Ammon...don't they fit right in?

And just to throw one more cute on of Samantha in. She's smiling so cute now and today I even got a couple of little giggles out of her!! It was SO CUTE! Those moments are just priceless.

Blessing Day

The blessing circle was quite small. Andy said it was more like a square! But it included Jeff Bush and one of our hometeachers and one member of the bishopric. I guess that's what happens when you bless a baby on spring break weekend :)

This little girl is so loved. Our friends from Dallas came down to help bless her and stay with us for spring break. It was super fun, and we felt super loved! The blessing went well and I prayed she would hold out and not start screaming while being blessed. Anyway about half way through the blessing I started hearing a baby cry and I thought to my self, "Oh I'm so glad there is another baby crying, it won't be so bad if she cries now." It took a good few seconds but then it dawned on me that it was MY baby that was crying...HA! Had a good giggle about that :)

I struggled to get a good shot of her awake without her screaming. She just doesn't like to sit. It's eating or sleeping for this little gal, although she has gotten much better just in the last week!

The SWING SET!!

We finally bought a swing set, and everyone couldn't be happier :) The children love to play on it, and I don't have to worry about the kids being loud and creating a mess. A win win. Kaylee is literally hugging the swing rope! Doesn't get much better than that.

Fans GLORIOUS Fans!

The gameroom.

The girls room.

OK, for some this may seem slightly mundane, but to us it is very exciting. For anyone who has lived in Texas, or the South in general you know that fans are an absolute! Why they don't put them in houses as standard when built I will never understand. I don't know how the previous owners did it, but then again they didn't even have towel holders in ANY of the bathrooms, so who knows.

Andy installed FIVE ceiling fans in two days, and only ONE left to do due to a missing piece :) Now the heat my come full swing and we can be even happier with air circulating full force! Love coolness, now why do I live in Houston again?

More Samantha

Samantha in her sling that my dear sister Cami made for us :) One of the ONLY ways I can get anything done on really fussy days. Thank you CAM!

Bath time, which Kaylee absolutely LOVES to help with. Audrie loves helping too, but normally she's at school. Pretty cute little squirt eh?

Smiles :) This isn't her best, but it's still pretty dang cute!

Batting at the toys for the few seconds she was happy on the floor...that's a rare occasion. I think she's such a pretty baby, but I am slightly bias.

And a random shot of Tyler after coming home from a friends house. Talk about subtle messages. I guess I should be grateful he's expressing himself huh?

Jesus Is In Our Tummies?

Kaylee must be really paying attention during FHE and her sunbeam lessons. She often comes home and tells us what she learns about. I think she has a wise old spirit because she continues to bring up topics throughout the week and really starts talking to me about them. For example, this Sunday while driving home from church she says (with her little lisp), “Mom, Jesus is in our tummies.” Me raising an eyebrow says, “Oh really?” “Yes, but when we do bad things or say bad things he can’t hear us.” Me putting it all together as quickly as I could, “Oh…I see…” She then continues and laughs as she says, “Actually, I mean Jesus in our hauwts (hearts).” I giggled and we ended there.

Then today as we were making bread she said again to me, very matter of factly, “You know Jesus is in our tummies.” She continued, “and He can talk in our tummies.” I giggled. She looked at me sternly and finished, “He CAN talk in our tummies!” Then in a very sing songy way she said, “but he says, ‘I can’t talk right now.’” It was as if you were supposed to leave a message on an answering machine. It was hilarious. I have tried to correct her because being one of the sunbeam teachers, I know the lesson was on the Holy Ghost. But she keeps going back to this Jesus in our tummies instead of the Spirit in our Hearts…which is what I think she is trying to say.
