Who needs a swimming pool when you've got a gutter.

A couple of funny things from Corbin and Gabby. I really want to teach Corbin how to read and so I make him read 4 BOB books and write a sentence everyday. It does not take very long if he just does it. Sometimes he is not such a good sport and hates it even though it's really short. He will say thing like "this kills me" or "this is killing me" or "I can't handle this." It's pretty funny. It's even more funny when Gabby hears him and then she uses it herself. One day we were doing flashcards, her suggestion by the way, and in the middle she put her head back and said "this is killing me." Hilarious! Another time we were making her clean up her books and as she was cleaning them up she said, "I can't handle this." So funny.

A funny Piper thing is she still isn't saying very many words so any words she uses is hilarious to me. If I don't know where she is I will call out her name and she will yell back, "what!" Oh my heck I can't even tell you how funny it is. Another funny thing is when she wants something and I tell her no sometimes she will say "uuuhhhhh!" I can't type it but it's funny. She's a crazy girl and she can be super hilarious and super ridiculous. She can have a total freak out melt down in 1 second. It's unbelievable. It's like her body is over taken by the devil.

We had some library drama. We could not find a stupid Max and Ruby movie for a couple of weeks. I couldn't renew it anymore so I went in and asked them if they would override it and give me another week to find it. The library worker did that and she told me that the replacement cost would be $22. For real! Okay, I'm not surprised but we are serious cheapskates. Why do you think we use the library all the time  in the first place. I had already searched several times. Scott searched everywhere, (and he always finds things I can't). I searched more. We were on a mission. We had to find this stupid movie. We were not going to pay $22. Scott had ordered a replacement movie for $6 on Amazon and was just going to put that in it. I wasn't convinced that would work because I was sure it was against a stupid rule and they would know it wasn't their movie. Finally even though we had both looked under the couch several times he lifted up the couch and low and behold we found Max and Ruby. I can't even tell you how excited we were. It was like Christmas, only better. Ha! He went and cancelled his amazon order and that bad boy went back to the library. Victory!

I'm starting to feel less nauseous I think. It comes and goes but I think I'm over the worst. I think this pregnancy has been my worst in terms of morning sickness. I was pretty vocal to quite a few people that I wanted to take a 3 to 5 year break after Piper. Having Gabby and Piper so close together has been difficult.  I think I needed to tell myself that just so I could breathe and deal with my two babies. I was still thinking I would take a bigger break but around Christmas time I got that good old feeling again that it was time to have another baby so here we are. I know that our family is blessed when we follow promptings from the Holy Ghost and I know that having 4 children 6 and under is going to be a challenge but I know I'm up for it. I know that I'm up for it because we have the Lord in our boat. Scott has made the analogy several times that when you go to church, pay your tithing, etc the Lord is in your boat and it will not sink. I believe that whole heartily.

It broke record highs on Monday. 95 degrees. Luckily it cooled way down the rest of the week. I'm not quite ready for summer heat.

I turned on the sprinklers so they could run through it but they much preferred the gutter.

Piper was sucking the water off the ground. 

We took a family trip to Lowes to buy some flowers for my yard for  Mother's Day. Hooray!
