This is for all you Moms!

Many of you have probably seen this, but for those of you who haven't, it is worth the watch. Happy Mother's Day to all!

Catching up!

It seems that lately I am playing catch up with everything, my house work, my calling, my blog, and all those other things that we have to do. Maybe I am taking on too much lately. I do know that I need to take more time for those things that are most important, like attending the temple. I am so excited about our new temples! To have one so close and also to have one the the Gila Valley will be so awesome. We would really like to end up there. In our stake conference a few weeks ago, our Stake President spoke about how much harder Satan will be working on all of us since the new temples were announces and how it is so important that we make time for the temple, no matter how inconvenient. I have such a testimony of the temple! Pres. Riggs promised us that if we would attend our families would be blessed. It amazes me how we can know this and yet Satan works on us so hard and makes us think that we don't have time, or we can't find or afford a babysitter, or we have too much else to do. I have got to stop making excuses, so this is a warning to all of you close by, I may be asking you to babysit my hoodlums so we can go to the temple, we would love to return the favor!

Anyhow, changing the subject. One of the things that has keep me so busy is my new project of updating my bedroom furniture. It is quality furniture, just needed a little update. I forgot to take a picture of the dresser before I started, but here is a picture of the headboard, which I still have to do.

I wasn't sure I was happy with the color, I thought it should be darker, but once I got it in the bedroom, I loved it! I will have to take more when I finish everything.

Refrigerator Bandit!

I had been in my room folding laundry and came out to check on Jackson and I saw that the refrigerator door was open and just when I was getting ready to yell his name and scold him for leaving it open, I came around the corner and found this ...

If you can't tell he is eating frosting. This was not the first time. The first time him and Brock got into it while I was meeting with my boss in the front room and they got it all over my coach. Thank goodness I can wash my cushion covers!

So sneaky! We got locks for the fridge!

Random...

The boys latest art masterpiece. We did sand art. Beautiful guys!

Porter has really started to like hats and I wish I could get a picture of him every time because he always looks so cute!

Scary, I know. Just think how I felt when I had to kiss him in front of everyone at our ward party. Those teeth freak me out!

Happy Birthday Jenny!

I just wanted to give a shout out to my good friend Jennifer. One year closer to 30! I hope you have a great day! Let's go to lunch one of these days and celebrate our birthday's (without our children, not that you don't want them there, but we need some girl time). It was great seeing you the other day. Happy Birthday!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

It was haircut time in the Conrad house. Until now, I had never let Ryan cut Porter's hair. I had tried at one time, but I did not go this short. Ryan likes the buzz on the boys. I love having boys and not having to worry too much about hair. I would probably loose it if I had girls. I am good if the boys get their hair combed before church, usually I am just trying to smooth down the stragglers on the way into church. Anyhow, here are some pics of the new cuts.

Saying Goodbye :(

Eveyone is leaving me! So many of my close friends and family have moved in the last year or so and now there is one more. Nicole and Billy have been some of our best friends since we have been married. Nicole is like a sister, I love her, she is such a good friend. Well I guess you could say they moved last year, but they had just moved to Safford, so we saw them quite a bit, but this time they will be moving to Oregon. I wish them the best, but we will really miss them.

It was hard getting them all to look at the camera. This is Porter, Jackson, Brock, Madison and Coy (I don't know if I spelled that right.)

Don't they look so excited!

Crew did not want anything to do with pictures. We had to get his attention on something else before we could get a smile.

We love you guys!
