1. my 3 monkeys!!! Each one of them is truly the monkey that it shows. Maya - can't find/see anything to save her life. Max can't hear me ask him to do things and Madi has started saying things with eye rolling that I wish would stop. These kids are GREAT but some times their monkeyness comes out!

2. Shooting - Bryant has always wanted to get a junior 22 for the kids to use. Well - he got 2 of them and they have gone shooting twice. The kids love it. Maya has not quite figured out how to close one eye and shoot with the other but she tries hard. Max actually has a great shot and Madi loves it too. Their favorite thing to shoot is lemons - they explode when you it them.

3. Easter Egg Hunt - we went to the Wolfleys and joined up with the Rapiers and Rostenbergs for our annual easter egg hunt. Kindy always has games for us to play - hook up and tug o war. The kids got lots of eggs and then we all had a YUMMY brunch afterward with Bakes French toast - which was DELICIOUS!!!

4. Max at Day Camp - they got to make rockets and shoot them off. He loved every minute of it!

5. The before picture of the hair cut. Madi got about 3 inches cut off with long layers 0 which she thinks makes her look like a teenager. Maya's is up to her shoulders and layed too. They both look way dfferent and great!

6. 2 Date Nights in one week - Bryant and I actually went on 2 dates at night this week, The kids slept over at the Rapiers and after they left - I called him at work and told him that they had just left for the night and if he wanted to come home for a date. He was home in a hour. Then on Saturday night - he had it off since of the Easter Egg hunt and stuff. I loved spending each and every minute with him!!

7. Easter Sunday - In church on Sunday, Madison and Max sang in the choir for the Easter program. They did a great job and loved the treats that they got afterward. I think it was the only reason why Max sang.

8. Swim Team - last week I signed up the kids of swimteam this year again. I love spending all summer at the pool. I love watching them swim their best and get better each year.

9. Max - we hit a new milestone in our home on Saturday. Max mowed the lawn for the first time and wants to keep on doing it! He did a great job for his first time. He can't wait for the lawn to grow again and to mow it again. I am sure that it won't last too long - but I will take it while I can.

10 - Food Storage - Lately, we have been focusing on getting our year supply where it needs to be. I am so grateful for Bryant and he desire for us to have plenty of food incase something was to happen. It is amazing what piece of mind it brings!

Well - hopefully I did not bore you too much! See you next week - if anyone even reads this! It is more for me as a way to keep track of what has happened in our humdrum lives!

Ten on Tuesdays

1. I am so glad that April 18th is done. I work for 3 CPA's and I have been working 5 days a week since February. I have not done that since I had Max. Very grateful for the job but even more grateful that tax season is over!

2. Cub Scout Day Camp - this past Friday night and Satruday morning - I got to go with Max and 6 other boys from our ward for Cub scout day camp. It was a lot of fun and they all had a great time. It was lots of fun to be there with Max.

3. Hair Cuts - Madi and Maya both got their hair cut. Maya got about 5 inches cut off of hers, and Madi got 2 but got some long layers put in. I will post before and after later. Madi asked me if she looks like a teenager now - she is almost 10 but she is looking older with this hair cut.

4. Primary - it is still great working in primary. I am so grateful for Tori and Hali who make my life so much easier! It would be hard to be there without them.

5. Lost teeth - for the first time Madi has actually pulled out one of her own teeth. Most of the time there is a lot of crying, but this time it happened at school and she did it all by herself.

6. Running - I have not been running nearly enough lately and the scale shows it. I have recommitted myself to start running more than 3 miles a week now that I don't have to work so much.

7. Questions - why does it seem like all 5-6 year olds love to ask questions. Maya is always asking questions - non stop. I love to listen to them and then think what wis going on inside her little brain. She asks a lot but it keeps me and Bryant on our toes.

8. Our Trampoline - the mat is in the process of dying, but I think we have found a replacement. The kids LOVE jumping on it and we love it too.

9. No pictures - sorry this week's post is without pictures. I will do better next week - I promise.

10. General Conference - I love listening to each session and love the way that I feel after conference is done. I also love listening to it on my Ipod as I run, or are just doing things around the house. It is the lift that I need each and every time!
