Going to make this blog private!!! :)

I have a friend who is going to make her blog private and I have decided that because of the pictures of my children and personal things being posted, I will be doing the same thing so beginning May 15th, this will blog will be password protected. If you would like to get the access information, please email me and when I get it set up, I will send it to you. Also as of tonight, I will have any comments that are posted sent to my email address for approval until the privacy is set up because of the comment left by someone that I believe if you click on what they are leaving will give your computer a virus!

Thanks for your understanding!

Some pictures since the last post on Tuesday...

Travis bought Bekka a Bubble BBQ Grill today that she has seen on TV and has asked for numerous times. You wouldn't believe the amount of bubbles this thing puts out! :)

Two Days after I posted the pictures of Catie pushing herself up, she had figured out that those knees are supposed to bend! She also is rocking back and forth!!!! Not to much longer! :)

Today I also took her 6 month pictures. I still have to do some editing, but here are some! I think they look pretty good and are just as good as if I was to take her into the studio.

Nearly 80 Degrees!

Yesterday it was nearly 80 and today it is cold and actually snowing! Shorts yesterday and sweats/snow clothing the next not completely unusual Utah weather, but after getting sun burned working out in my yard yesterday this is very unwelcomed! The last week has been pretty busy outside at the Wentz house! I was able to get my raised flower beds in (picked up all of the brick last week for them), planted shrubs and we even got the fence posts put in last Friday. The fence company is coming this Friday to finish putting in our fence and we will be another step closer to laying sod. I just need to finish putting the rings I am building out of brick around my trees and we will need to level the yard a bit more and then we can order sod!!!! If it were up to me, I would have just hired someone to come and put in my yard for me, but it is nice to see everything finally coming together and all of the hardwork paying off! We are also in process of working on our basement. I had to get the plumbers in to do the plumbing last Thursday so that is done....we have just a few more things for electrical in our family room and the sheet rock was delivered this morning. The sheetrockers can get started on everything except for the family room and the bathroom because we have just a few more things that we need to do before that can be sheeted, so this weekend will be another busy one for us! Below are some pics of outside and our basement as it sits right now. I will take some more pictures when the weather is a little bit nicer and I get the rest of the planters done in my back yard, hopefully the fence will be up at that time as well and I can post some updates on that! ENJOY!

The ring I built around one of three trees in my back yard.

Catie is almost 6 Months old and....

She wants to crawl....she is gets so frustrated, but I love to take pictures of it! :) She looks like she is doing push-ups, she does scoot backwards and she can get herself turned around really well. I think she will be crawling before the end of April!

Yes, We Did Make It Back...Pictures from Our Trip

Catie - Just hanging out!

The girls & I went into town and went to Walmart. We bought kites for both Bekka and Grandpa. Bekka chose a Spiderman kite for Grandpa....we think he liked it!

Grandma even had fun flying kites!

Hanging out w/Grandpa after a hard day of play!

Bekka & Grandpa making a hop scotch...

Grandma helped her make a hop scotch as well.....Bekka loves to color on the sidewalk with chalk.

Sittin' In Nebraska! :)

The girls and I left last Thursday to drive out to visit Grandma & Grandpa Meier in Nebraska for a few days. We were originally going to leave and drive back to Utah on Sunday, but with the weather being just terrible across Wyoming (the interstate was shut down most of the day) we decided to wait and see what the roads were like this morning. Well, I set the alarm to go off at 6:00 and I checked the road conditions at 6:30 there were still some closures so I talked with Travis (he had to work and couldn't come with us) and then to Grandma & Grandpa and we decided that we should just stay put and not try to take off today. Wyoming DOT opened up I-80 at about 10:30, but when I just checked it, after getting back from town at about 3:00 most of the Westbound routes on I-80 were closed again. So it is a good thing we didn't go or we could be stuck somewhere in the middle of no-where! We got stuck on Elk Mountain on our way out here for about 1/2 hour, but it was a good thing that both of the kids were asleep and that was our only obstacle so far this trip. When Grandma & Grandpa came out in December, it took them nearly 2 days to get out to our house! Well, we have been having a lot of fun and I have taken a lot of pictures! I may try to post some later or I will do it when I get home, if I get home! :) :)

By the way, it is snowing outside here as I am typing this!!!! :)

Easter 2008

The title says it all!!! We colored our Easter Eggs before we went to my Mom's on Saturday.

Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma's House

My Mom had the annual Easter Egg hunt for the Grandchildren at her house on Saturday before Easter, and all of the kids had a great time! Thanks Mom!!!

Easter Egg Hunt at The Park!

We went to our City's Easter Egg Hunt and Bekka along with her friend Avery cleaned up!!!! Here are some pictures! I told them to run past all of the bases into the outfield and that is exactly what they did...they ran out past all of the other children because the other children stopped to pick up candy that was close to them that they saw the girls cleaned up once they got to the outfield! It was alot of fun, we had never taken the kids to one of the hunts with the City before. After that, we went with our neighbors to breakfast and went and picked up some stuff to work out in the yard.

Just before they had the kids line up.

Waiting for the whistle to blow

Running to the outfield

Picking up the loot!!!!

Catie watching TV....

She learned all of this from watching Daddy!!!! :)

Hmmmmm......I am not sure how this thing works, but lets try it out.

Maybe if I slobber ALL over it, it will work for me!

Yup, here is my favorite show!!!!!

What are you looking at? I figured it out!!!

Our Personal Mud Hole!!! :)

This afternoon after we got home from picking up Bekka from school, she wanted to go outside and play in the mud in our front yard! I could hear her yelling for me from inside the house and I went out to see what was the matter and she had gotten herself stuck in the mud half way up her calves!!!! So I tried to pull her out and she was really stuck!!!! So I pulled her out of her boots and those were still stuck in the mud and after she was out, I pulled out the boots! I can't wait for it to get warmer and dry out this mud hole we have!

Happy Birthday Abbigale!

You may have seen most of these pictures, but I wanted to share them again anyway!

Happy Birthday Abbigale! We love & miss you so much!
