A week in the life...

All my blogging energy is going to be over Here this week. If you care to see what our day to day looks like than come on over.

What girl wouldn't swoon

This morning we were having out family favorite Saturday morning breakfast of waffles with buttermilk syrup. We don't always have waffles, usually it's french toast or pancakes, but I do always make buttermilk syrup. The kids love it, so it has become our Saturday tradition. Anyway, Macy was sitting on Josh's lap and I asked "Why do you want to marry Dad someday?"  Something she tells me frequently she wants to do.

Her response. "Because he" (Points to the hair on his arms)

Yes, she wants to marry her dad because he has hair on his arms.

I'm seeing a very hairy husband in her future.

As a disclaimer, Josh is not overly hairy, but he does have dark hair on his arms.

Car Conversations...we're in trouble

Last night the kids and I were on our way to the ward talent show when out of no where James says "OK guys, you can't tell ANYONE, but in Mrs. (?'s) class, I have a crush on Ava."

Me "Why do you have a crush on Ava?"
James "Because she has lipstick, and she's beautiful, and she talks beautiful, and she has beautiful   hair." (pauses for a second) "And I can see inside her and her spirit looks really fun!"

Me "So she wears lipstick huh?"
James "Ya, but I can't ask her to marry me because when I'm ten we are moving."

What is a mother to do!

For those of you (you know who you are) who weren't quite sure if Josh was really a doctor

Pretty cool, huh! Sometimes it's still weird for me to hear him talking doctor stuff when the nurses call. Around here, he's still just dad. We don't ever get to see him in action so it's always fun for me to see pictures. Only certain ones though! I'm pretty squeamish.

By the way, that leg he is cutting on belongs to a 500 pound woman!

Spring is teasing me

Last Saturday we were out running errands and had a few hours before James' floor hockey game so we stopped at a park to enjoy the sunshine. Laila had a great time, but was such a little stinker and would not look at me for a picture.

Samm is starting to make the transition from little girl to tween. I'm not sure how I feel about this.

And Josh was tired, as usual. He ended up with a nice rosy skin color!

A few days later I looked out our sliding glass door to the sad sight of snow flurries. Oh Michigan, please make up your mind! And please choose spring!

Hello Again, Happy Easter

Wow, its been almost a month! And I have to admit, the break from blogging was really nice. I don't know how something as simple as documenting our family goings on can be stressful, but somehow I manage to make it that way. I wish I had a whole bunch of pictures to show from the last month, but I honestly haven't  turned on my camera all that much. I even took a trip to my sister Jenn's house a couple weeks ago with Macy and Laila and the only picture I have is this one I snapped on my phone of Macy walking through the airport. She looked so grown up wearing her little backpack and pulling her own suit case.

I finally dusted off the camera today to take pictures of the kids in their Easter clothes. So, for the three people left who actually check my blog still, Happy Easter from the Rollins Family.
