Memorial Day

Over the past few years, my brother Brady and I have made a "tradition" somewhat, to go with our families on Memorial Day to visit our Grandpa's grave site. This year my sister Mallory joined us too! He served as a pilot in WWII and we feel it's a perfect time to remember him as well as my Grandma on this day. Thanks Carlie for the flowers! You never miss the important details that I ALWAYS forget. =)

After the visiting the grave site, we went to my sister Lindsay's house to celebrate Maddie turning 3. We swam and ate... and Merrick had a blast with Daddy, shooting hoops!

I love his face in the one below. Totally trying his HARDEST to get the basketball in the hoop. You can see it right on his face like, "come on, come one... I got it!" I love it! He would clap "yeah" every time he got it in the hoop. He LOVES balls. If he can throw it, it's a ball. He grabs magnets off the fridge and says "ball" and then chucks it across my kitchen. To him, if he can throw it, then it's a BALL. LOL

Lily's preschool Graduation

Lily graduated from preschool this past week! Super cute, and kind of funny. It was nice, Danny was able to take off work that morning to come see his oldest child "graduate preschool". LOL. Grandma Standifird was even there! Lily was very excited about that.

On to the next stage of your life Lilybug.

I can't believe she is 5, and going to kindergarten already. WOW, how fast time passes.

Ms. Amy and Ms. Sherry do such a great job! Lily loved them both sooooo much.
I'm excited that Macy will be going to Ms. Amy next year... she goes above and beyond on everything for those kids. Truly amazing!

Here is Lily and her friend Abby. So cute!
Thanks Amy and Sherry for taking such great care of Lily and teaching her so much!

Macy's Tinkerfairy Birthday

Happy Birthday Macy!

Over the weekend we had a Tinker-Fairy birthday party for our Macy Kate. She turned 4 on May 3rd... can't believe how fast she is growing up! We had all of our family over for pizza, ice-cream, and cupcakes... Yum, Yum!

All the little girlies dressed up as fairy's and princess's and had "pixie dust" put on their cheekies as they came in to the party... it was a sight to see!

Macy was so excited to be "Tinkerbell", as that is her favorite fairy! She takes after her mother as you can see... by all my Tinkerbell figurines. =)

Macy is wearing her special Tinkerbell tutu from La Bebe Boutique. La Bebe Boutique has dozens of tutu's for any style, age, or occasion.
You can also have a tutu "customized" for a special occasion or just to make to your exact specifications.

Macy's clippies are from MacyMae.com, custom made green for her "Tink" outfit. You can have your own MacyMae, "clippie with a grippie", custom made for any occasion too! They are so fun, and best part is- you will still have your MacyMae Clippies at the end of the day since they have their unique "no slip" grips.

(I just had to give my "shout out" to LaBebeBoutique.com and MacyMae.com)

Hi everyone! I just wanted to quickly update all of you on La Bebe's current special:

All Funky Bums T-shirts are on sale this week. Normally $26, down to $18 through May 3rd.

These T's are so fun, funky, and cool. They are such a nice change from your normal baby blue/teddy bear look for boys! I personally chose to add Funky Bums to our line at LA Bebe Boutique because as you all know I have a boy and find it very frustrating to shop for him. I don't like the "cutesy", "animal/character" look for Merrick. I am very picky about what he wears. That is the biggest reason I had to carry this line for boys!

Merrick has all 4 of the styles, yes- I couldn't help myself! LOL. So now you can enjoy them for you little man too, at a great price! They run from 6-12 months to 4T.

Check them out at La Bebe Boutique: http://www.lbboutique.com/boys/clothing

Also while you are on the site, check out my blog. If you subscribe to La Bebe Blog, you will be notified about specials, huge discounts, new products AND.... FREE GIVEAWAYS! Yes, you heard it, free giveaways!

Starting this week I will be posting a free giveaway every week! So make sure you subscribe so you can enter the contests.

Hope you had a great weekend,

Bye Bye Camera!

So last night I was getting "packed" in the car to take the kiddos to my neices, Regan and Emma's Birthday party. I say "packed" because I literally have to do exactly that when I leave the house. Not to mention, I had my sister's 2 girls with us and Danny was at work. So here I am with 5 kids getting in the car... oh wait, Merrick's bottle. Oh wait, the presents! Oh wait, (each time I say "oh wait" I'm hopping out of the car running back into the house to get what it is I forgot!) Oh wait, THE CAMERA! Can't go to a b-day party with a BOUNCER without my camera...

Well, that is when the unfortunate event happened. I ran out my 10th time to get my camera, hopped back into my sequioa, and BAM! The camera fell out of my hands onto the concrete in the garage. So bye, bye Canon Powershot... =(

I am sad...

But, I have to say... a little excited!

Why, you ask? Because now I can get what I have been wanting for 3 years...

A REAL slr camera... the Canon Rebel! I'm sure Danny doesn't like this... but I think it may be a blessing in disguise! =) lol.

So, I sure hope to get this soon... as I am addicted to taking pictures and I already feel lost knowing I don't have access to a camera if I need it!

It was funny because at the party my Dad mentioned to Danny and I to take the camera into a camera shop. His words... "they can fix this easily, don't worry Kati"...

Me thinking to myself "uhhh... shhh Dad!!! I don't want it fixed... I want an SLR!!!"
Hee, hee! I'll keep you posted.

Sundays...

I always love Sundays. It seems like life is crazy and I can't catch a breath all week long, and then it's Sunday. I love that it's a day Danny is home, and we have nothing else to do but spend time together.

Today was one fun Sunday. Lily and Macy have designed their own "podium" where they get up and bear their testimonies and give talks. It is sooo cute! After a few times of watching his sister's do this, Merrick decided to get up and bear his testimony. Then he gives Lily kisses and runs from her laughing so cute. Check out this video clip if you want to hear what he has to say.

So I am no longer working from home doing office work for the pest control company. It has only been a week since I've been done and I just have to say, it's been heaven! I wake up in the morning and only have to think about my 3 kids, what they need, and what needs to be done in the house. No more phones ringing all day long, and feeling like I'm going to have a nervous break down!

So~ I have made some new goals and have a whole new outlook on being a "stay at home" mom. I want to cherish every moment with them and never want them to feel like a burden. They are my main focus. They are MY LIFE. So we may not have extra money anymore... but we will make it through. We always have! Somehow, even when the numbers don't add up, Heavenly Father has always made up the difference when it seems like it won't work. I have testimony of this. It is comforting to know that he has promised certain blessings when you obey certain commandments.

Of course I am still running La Bebe Boutique and Macymae Clippies and loving it! This is something I can do on my own time, when my kids are sleeping, or when Danny is home. I also have had to face the fact that I may not have a huge business at this point in my life. Being a mom of 3 little ones, with a husband who works very long hours... it's almost impossible! Again, I am ok with this. I love what I do and that is why I started it. So I will continue to enjoy having a baby boutique, designing Macymae Clippies, and letting it be what it is.

I am grateful for many things in my life. Today I feel especially grateful for some very good friends I have in my ward. They are such a great example to me. I learn so much from each of them and admire each of them for their own individual strengths. I have never had a group of friends that I can laugh and cry with in the same conversation. We have a blast together and I even have many times I feel the spirit during our discussions. They truly lift me up and make me want to be a better person. Thank you girlies!
