Selling Cookies!

Selling girl scout cookies was a blast. Cookie sales happened about two months ago and I am finally getting around to posting the pictures. Girl scouts has been fun for the girls. At first I was not really into scouting because I was never a girl scout and now I can see how much they are learning. Jasmine, Jessica, and Natalie were not afraid to ask complete strangers if they wanted to buy cookies. Several people purchased cookies just because they looked so cute. Who could resist these girls faces. At the last minute the Army guys walked by and they purchased a whole case of cookies from the girls. They were so cool to let us take a picture of the girls with them. Looking forward to many more events with the girl scouts.

Way to BUSY!

I can't believe that it has been over a month sense I last posted. I have been way to busy to even think about writing my thoughts down. You might be asking what has the wheelers been up to well spring break was such a crazy mess and lasted way to long for me. We took a 3 day trip to Disneyland with the kiddos and basically had a blast until I got sick on the second day in Toon Town. Then I spent a week at my parents house in SLC. My parents 50th Wedding Anniversary was April 10th and we celebrated at a really fancy restaurant called Ruth's Chris Stake House in Park City, UT. Would highly recommend trying this place at least once for a special occasion. I worn you it is very expensive! Anyway, we had lots of fun in Utah! I then was busy studying and writing my final essays for my classes. I am so glad that in 2 years I will be finished with my BA in Elementary Education. It has been my long life dream to be a teacher. So now you know what has been going on in the life of the wheelers. I will post pictures later!

Spring has Come!

Welcome Spring!

Spring is probably my most favorite season of the year next to fall. I love how the flowers start blooming in my yard and the cherry trees or fruitless mulberry trees are so beautiful this time of year. Spring is a time of newness, a time to reflect on the spirit and purpose of life, a time to wear bright colors, and a time to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ! It is also a time to start your spring cleaning! We all have to do it. So start planting your gardens and painting your fences for the summer is not to far away.

Children in the Night!

Have any of you wondered just exactly your children do while you are SLEEPING? Well last night we found out. It was close to midnight and I thought the kiddo's were in bed, but I was wrong! While studying in our office I heard this weird sound that kind of sounded like someone was trying to start their car so I ignored it! About 10 minutes of this strange sound going of and on Jasmine started screaming for her Dad! Steve went to investigate to find Evan on the top bunk playing with Jasmine's radio and the sound I heard was static from a the clock radio being turned on and off. Poor Jasmine was so scared and groggy that she thought that Evan was a ghost. Anyway, when Steve went to take Evan to bed he noticed that Evan had colored with marker all over his face, in his mouth, and all over his hands. We asked him where the markers were and he said, in a very innocent voice, "On Jasmines bed" Thanks for letting us know sweetie! We put him to bed and shut his door again. At 4:30 a.m. we were woke to the sound of someone trying to get into our room. I could tell it was Evan and neither Steve and I wanted to get up, but when I heard his little patter of feet run back towards the kids rooms I was sure he was going to wake the girls. Then he started to holler for Ariel to wake up! Steve dashed out of bed to save the day! Evan had an active night but took a three hour nap this afternoon.

Being a parent can be very interesting!

Energy!

Some days I feel like I just need more energy. I never have enough time in the day to achieve everything on my list. Does anyone else feel this way? Keeping up with my kids, school, bills, cleaning, church callings, and anything else that seems to occupy minutes of the day is getting harder. Last year this time I had my tax refund. This year I have only started gather the tax files so that I can do my taxes. I will be getting a refund but only if I get around to doing the taxes. So now that you all know that I am stressed and need a quick caffeine fix so that I can stay up and write a report that is due Thursday. Thank heavens for DIET COKE!
