We have been up to a lot of fun things lately. The kids have been keeping me really busy and Steve has been doing homework non-stop.
Here are just some random things about March...

Every morning the kids eat an apple. Bet you didn't know that! Pretty exciting eh?

One day Kylee wasn't feeling very well (Boo the teething stage!). While I was making dinner she got her blankets from her bed and layed under the kitchen table. Cody decided to lay by her and make her happy. He was being so sweet and cute with her, making her smile and feel better.

We went to a ward Easter Egg Hunt at the church. In this picture Kylee had gathered some eggs but had no clue that they were full of candy.

We invited our good friend Ellie to come to the Easter Egg Hunt with us (and her little sister Zoe).
Other bits...
1. Whenever Kylee tries to climb up on something and can't get up she says: "I'm heavy!"
2. A few weeks ago Cody and I registered him for Kindergarten. A lot of conversations have been about school and all the things he needs to do to be ready for school (like get dressed and eat breakfast without taking 2 hours). I guess you could say we have been in Kindergarten Boot Camp the past few weeks training for the big transition. He is getting really good at going potty, making his bed, and getting dressed as soon as he wakes up and without being asked. One day I was talking about how long the school day is (Kindergarten is all day here) and how he would have to be a big boy all day. He said, "So, big kids go to night classes?" All of Cody's life his dad has had "night classes" so now he thinks it's his turn.
3. Kylee is turning into a tease. She likes to tease Cody by saying that he is a "nice sister" and calling herself a "nice brother." She thinks that is pretty funny.
4. Kylee is a girly girl. She especially loves shoes and she can put them on herself so she is constantly changing them throughout the day. If you aren't quick enough at getting her dressed in the morning she will put shoes on while she is still in her pajamas. As soon as you get her dressed she puts her shoes back on. And at night, she squeezes in a little bit more time with her shoes by putting them back on after changing into her pajamas and while we are getting ready for bed.
Her obsession for shoes does come in handy though. If Kylee isn't being nice to Cody all you need to do is remove one of her shoes and you've got her attention. That's worse than Time Out!
5. Kylee also loves chap stick. One day Cody was gone playing with a friend and so Kylee and I had some one-on-one time. She wanted me to read books to her so she spent the afternoon on my lap looking at books with an open tube of chap stick in one hand and the lid in the other. The entire time I was reading to her she was rubbing chap stick on her lips. Kylee was in heaven with mom and a tube of chap stick all to herself.
I know there are more stories that I am not remembering right now. I'll have to think...

Oh Tif, your kids are just so cute! I love all your stories. Isn't it crazy to think Cody will be gone all day next year--YIKES! He sounds like he's totally ready, though!! Kylee's going to be lost without her cute big brother! That's a good idea to start a public blog to notify people of the private one...
I love those stories! Marley is pretty close to being as obsessed with shoes as Kylee is, we should try the removal of the shoe instead of time out...sneaky! And Marley LOVES chapstick! So funny! That was really nice of you to let her slather it on AND read books to her AND on your lap. I'm just not that nice. ;-)
I love the random thoughts. Kids are so cute - especially yours. I am not sure I am ready for the stresses of school yet with Lauren. I love how sweet Cody is with Kylee.
