Shocked Simon Cowell!

Simon Cowell probably thinks he's seen it all- which is what makes this fabulous performance from Britain's Got Talent wonderful to watch!!

Susan Boyle on Britain's Got Talent

If you haven't seen or heard about this yet you are missing out!! I wonder if we can vote for people on this show, because this the first time I've ever been tempted to call one of these shows!!

Today's Fun

Olivia putting groceries away. By the way, this outfit prompts me to inform everyone that she chooses her own clothes. I'm just the facilitator who allows her to wear whatever she wants.

Jolie and the stairs . . . this is the latest battle between baby and mom. While I was shooting this video I had no idea she would try to go down the stairs. This is the first time she has ever tried going down the stairs, and did a really good job too. However, I was overcome by my mommy senses and had to rescue her. That, and I figured it would be pretty sad if she tumbled down while I was watching through the camera lens, instead of standing behind her to catch her.

Jolie Walking

There is something about babies that make them irresistable to watch (and take pictures and videos of). Jolie loves playing with the stroller. She makes sure she has a baby in it, then walks it around until she falls over, or runs into something and can't get turned around. Then she fusses for help and she's off again. She's so entertaining!!

Easter Sunday

Finding baskets

Jolie loves putting things around her neck, and her Easter basket was perfect!
Nyah- Somehow I missed getting a shot of Austin
They both received planes that you use a sling shot to shoot into the air. Here they are trying to figure them out.

After hitting light fixtures, etc. we headed outside. Its like 7:30 a.m. so we are all still in pajamas.

Jolie hasn't worked out the step yet so she hangs out around the door. Back inside playing with their kitchen and dishes. Olivia in new dress- This is after church as she wouldn't put down her blanket before church so I couldn't get a good picture of her dress.

Jo, also after church.

Nyah & Austin- don't they look so grown up?

Our Weekend Activities

Friday we went to a homeschool Easter activity at a friend's house. Olivia worked out how to "superman swing" on her own, because they had a swing low enough for her to reach.

Unfortunately, shortly after this video she fell forward onto her face and ended up with a sandy face, scratched nose and bleeding lip, but she was brave enough to try again, and declare "mine" anytime another kid climbed on the swing.

Having breakfast with my girls Saturday morning.

Pokeman cards are the current neighborhood rage, which I find incredibly annoying. At least when Austin wants to talk to me about Star Wars and Lord of the Rings I have some idea of what he's saying. It makes me sad that the neighborhood boys don't want to "play" anymore, they huddle together on someone's porch looking at and trading cards with each other. I thought it would be fun to put some cards in Austin and Nyah's Easter baskets, but they are $4 for 10 cards. I couldn't believe it! This Easter Bunny is a little too cheap for those prices.

Playing in the closet. Olivia likes to swing from the bars. She likes to swing a lot doesn't she?

Coloring eggs on Saturday

Journeys of Faith

"Travel to some of the most significant pilgrimage destinations of the world’s religions," or so claims this MSN Travel slide show.


I wondered if Temple Square would be part of it, what do you think?

I did it!

Okay, I finally figured it out, and I just have to say that kids can do crazy things when you have to step away from the computer for a minute.
