I should be cleaning or showering

but instead I'm going to blog, because ten years from now that will be what matters, the memories, not the cleaning (at least that's what I'm telling myself).

Ok so I just emptied my phone on here and want to blog some of these phone captured moments.

I miss the beach, the weather is nice enough to go, maybe we will ASAP.

 Look at this cute boy!

 Playing in the dirt, my favorite.

 We've been to Disney once at night, beautiful.

 Love my wedding ring, bet I texted this to Jake because I filed my nails instead of just clipping them like I normally do.

 Loving books at Shillig 1s house over Thanksgiving.

 I love when my kids sign this!

 TEA PARTY with cousins!

 While in GA for Thanksgiving Brandon (Aaron's son) made the BEST hot chocolate in the whole world.  I love hot chocolate more and more every year.

 I love when he learned to use silverware!

 Jake studies often. 

 Celebrating a late night dinner at the end of last semester.  Mali Su was awake so she joined us.

 I went and got the oil changed and ate a nutritious meal out of the vending machines.  Sometimes I like to text Jake (or others) what I'm up to.

 Like this photo, I texted it to Miss Alana in UT.  She would totally appreciate Mali Su's "Monica in Barbados" hair-do.

My brothers when we met up with Dillon in TX over Christmas.

 MINI coke cans!

 My favorite pickles in the whole world found at home in SE TX, I could have a huge jar right now all to myself. 

 My brother Tyler and I at the Berryhill Christmas party.

 Brody and his childhood teletubbies tape.

 Dillon opening his present from Jake, an Army ACU backpack.

 Love playing outside!

 LOVE "I love you" signs.

 Beau comes bearing gifts from his youth retreat recently.

 Sometimes the princesses do not fare too well in our home...

 My set-up one day while I was clipping coupons (this I texted to Katie).

 Loving my big ol' earrings for the Army dining out.

 So this is how you haul tires, just fill a trailer.

 This boy sleeps so peacefully when he gets in bed with us in the early morning.  This particular morning he slept even though his sisters jumping in bed with us.

 A little piece of UT here in FL.

 Where's Malachi?  Oh yeah, GIGGLING and PLAYING under his pack and play mat.  No more sleeping in there for this boy.

 While at the doctor for 2 hours you get bored.  I was just that, bored.  Texted this to Katie showing her that sometimes I do wear other pants besides stretchy ones.

 Sit and Spin fun.

 Yep, I took a silent picture of my son before Sunday school (or during don't judge).  He fell asleep on my lap during the CLOSING PRAYER of sacrament meeting, I was shocked.  I all of a sudden felt his head get really heavy, sure enough, he was out.

 I love when all three play together.

 Probably my happiest mom moment.  Watching Jake bike home with the kids, Mali Su on the bike.  She is so slow and so adorable.  She also at one point stopped, turned around to me (following in the car) and says, "hurry up mom!"  Seriously Mali Su, you're adorable.

 Valentine's dinner date!

 My first sewn on scout patch.  I have since learned they have this no-sew sticky stuff.  I'll be picking that up ASAP.

 The night Malachi learned to give a THUMBS UP!  I was one proud MAMA!

 We still do LOTS of homework around here, it's exhausting.

 Couldn't resist, I texted this to Pa Pa Tim and Daddy one night of this handsome boy (who has to wear long sleeves and such these days due to his violent reaction to mosquito bites)

 Putting on shoes after playing at IKEA.

 Being silly helping Daddy build bunk beds.

 Today while heading out to take the kids to the park my neighbor was having a garage sale.  I saw this big screen and just knew the boys would LOVE IT.  Jake came down and approved of the purchase.  Let me tell you, these boys are in GAMING HEAVEN!

Funny what pictures you find on your phone.  Thanks to all those who put up with my texting of pictures :)

I love smart phones.
