Fun Weekend

We had a very fun weekend over here. Friday night I went to see Confessions of a Shopaholic with my girlfriends from my ward Laura and Amber. It was a cute movie, probably could have waited for the rental, but having a girl's night out coupled with Ben & Jerry's is priceless. When I got home, I logged on the computer to check my math test grade and I got a B. So that made me a happy, a B in Math for me is like an A in any other subject.

On Saturday, we met Rob's parents at the park and the kids had fun playing on the swings. I did however received the Worst Mom Ever reward. I pushed Tay Tay a little too high and she flipped out of the swing and landed into those darn wood chips. She got little cuts all over her precious face. I felt awful! Anyway...we came home from the park and got cleaned up and then headed over to the Stake Center for the Elders Quroum Dinner. We played the Newly Wed Game and Rob throughly embarassed me. One of the questions was, "What was the physical feature that attracted you to your wife?" I knew the answer, but didn't think he would actually say it in church. Long story short. Rob said, "Bum." Yes...I've got some junk, but like I said before throughly embarassing.

Sunday was a Fast Sunday. I had to take the kids with me to the airport to pick up Jacey and my Dad from Utah. From there, we headed to church. Hung out late and for the Break the Fast. Came home, put the kids to bed, and caught up on a very overloaded DVR. Great finish to a great weekend.

Funny Kids

Michael woke up around 5 this morning, so he was already fed and ready to go by the time his sisters woke up at 6:30. The girls were sitting at the bar stools eating muffins and all of a sudden they start laughing hysterically. Michael crawled into the bathroom, pulled down what was left of the toilet paper and came crawling out dragging it behind him. He then made it under the bar stools. I laughed so hard that I cried. What a joy to have such funny, sweet, and entertaining children in my life. I adore them.

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a fun Valentine's Day over at the Hutch House. Very practical gifts were exchanged between husband and wife. Early Saturday morning we drove up to the temple and bought one another temple clothes. We have been renting all these years. We walked around temple grounds and Jolee was impressed by how beautiful Angel Moroni was. She said, "She is so pretty." Had to clear that one up quickly. Then when we were in the distribution center, she saw a picture of Thomas S. Monson and said, "Look it's Barack Obama." Some more clearing up to do. After we went to our friends Chris and Nicole's daughter Kennedy second birthday party. It was Minnie Mouse themed and somehow Taylor won a Minnie Mouse stuffed animal that was almost and big as she is. Then we headed over to Papa's house, he babysatt while Rob and I got pedicure. Very fun to do with your husband. Later we headed home, I made chocolate covered strawberries (I have become obsessed), feed the kiddies, and put them to bed. Rob went and picked up some China A Go Go and we watched a couple of movies. That is my ideal date night. Jammies, glasses, yummy food, yummier dessert, my adorable hubby, and a couple of rentals. We watched Nick and Norah's Infinite Play List (pretty cute) and a quater of Nights in Rodanthe (kill me now boring). Shortly after crawling in bed, Mikey woke up and was saying, "Ma Ma Ma Ma." So I got up my little valentine, feed him a bottle, and watched SNL. What a great end to a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Seriouslly???

It is 6:30 am and Jolee, Taylor and I are on our third Disney movie. They were so sick with fevers and coughing, I just got them up at 3:00 am. Taylor was waking every hour on the hour, so it wasn't like I was sleeping well anyway. So far we have watched Sleeping Beauty, Lady and the Tramp, and now we are on 101 Dalmations. This is going to be a LONG day! Darn you RSV! Darn you to heck!

"Your Mom Goes to College"

I started the spring semester yesterday. Philosophy 102 and Teaching Elementary School Math. Maybe sometime in this life, I will graduate. I met with my counselor who said that because I have been going to school on and off for 8 years now, I will be able to graduate CSN in the fall with an Associates of General Studies and an Associates of Arts with an emphasis on Elementary Education. That will be good in the long run because you get paid more when you have your Bachelor's Degree, plus however many credits. I am taking my time because I don't plan on teaching until Mikey is in school. Oh by the way...just to get the word out there...I am going to be teaching preschool out of my home this fall. It will be 2 days a week for 2 hours. $100 a month. I am thinking that it is going to be an afternoon class. E-mail me at adrihutch@hotmail.com or call me if you are interested.

Red Rock Fun

This Martin Luther King Day, we headed up to Red Rock for some outdoor fun. It is weird that I put those two words together, I am very much an indoor girl. But we had a good day. We found a trail up by Calico Basin that is like a boardwalk. You don't even have to get off the wooded trail, perfect for little girls, strollers, and indoor mommies. We were going to have a picnic at the bottom, but there were people doing beer bongs! Seriouslly...at noon! Taylor was upset that we were leaving until Jolee said, "We have to go because those people are being naughty." Word sister! We drove around until we found a more family friendly environment to picnic in. Later that evening, a brought back one of my mom's Martin Luther King Day traditions. I made a marble cake. My mom said it was the blacks and the whites combining. Gosh...I miss my mom. She was awesome!

Happy 3rd Birthday Taylor

Taylor celebrated her 3rd Birthday on January 11th. I can't believe my little girl is growing up so quickly! To celebrate her birthday, we had a small princess party the day before. It was a girls only thing. Jolee even told Rob and my dad that they couldn't come. It was fun having it with just the girls. The little girls wore princess dresses, ate corndogs and cupcakes, and had their nails painted. Taylor loved having all the attention on her. That night we went to In N Out for dinner. It was special for me because it was the last meal I ate before I delivered her and the first meal I ate after I had her. What can I say? I love me some In N Out. Happy Birthday Taylor! You are such a funny, sweet, cuddly, and beautiful little girl!
