Don't they clean up good!!

I thought this was a cute Easter picture of the girls!!!


More to come, we had a great Easter weekend starting on Friday when we went to the Discover Gateways children's museum and the aquarium!! For now you just get a cute picture!!!

Baa Baa Black Sheep

Even before the snow melted the first time girls where ready for spring, but then we had a little sneak of spring and we were really ready for warm weather. Addey and Reece beg me to go check on the baby lambs every day but we have not made it out too much this year, so when my mom called today I knew we had to go!! Since I am not working at all this week I made it a goal to "spring Clean" and get my stuff put back in order and organized but it has put a toll on the girls and they have put up with me again not paying to much attention too them. I knew going to see the lambs would be the much needed break we all needed... And it was!!!

Addey and Reece love to play in the barn and see the lambs. Today we got to hold them and pet them so they could get use to us. When we got home Addey said maybe they will learn to like us and we can say " Addey had a little lamb... every where that Addey went the lamb is sure to go"

That made me realize that we do need a clean orderly house but my kids and family are most important and those times when we stop our spring cleaning and have a little fun are the true learning moments!!!

Pictures:

Addey and Reece holding and petting the lambs!!!

When Addey was not even 2 yet my mom found some MUCK boots and we had to get them. My mom said she could picture her following the boys around in the barn or helping with the watering. The smallest they came in where 10 so she finally fits in them and they work great to go to the barn and see the lambs. Reece also said she needed her "princess muck boots"

Addey started to help grandma clear a spot for the lambs so they would have a nice dry spot to lay and Reece joined in too!!!

Leprechauns and Little girls!!!

Full of magic and trickery, the leprechauns remain in their hidden world until the night before St. Patrick's day... so our last nights craft was our treasure box!! I think it turned out pretty cute and will be my new March decoration!! The girls of coarse were just excited to find the treasure the next morning. Those tricky leprechauns left gold ( Rolo's- note to self, next year get the individually wrapped ones) and fun green shamrock straws. I also got real into the holiday and made green shamrock waffles and the straws went well with the yummy breakfast!
Happy St. Patrick's day!!!

I know I was getting just as sick of looking at my self pity (Even though I do not need to look at my blog to remember it) But I have decided that I have been doing things in the midst of everything and thought I would share!!

And so since I am already totally overwhelmed I thought I better just start with last week and hopefully be able to "keep up" again! So besides my grandpa going in the hospital, still slowly unpacking boxes trying to find the toy of the day (yes I have been in my house for a month), Wacey trying to collect some of our money and going to Oregon, and me working... It was Dr. Suess's Birthday!!!
We went to the Library and got all the books we needed and read them throughout the week, and then of coarse we had a Dr. Suess party!! We made cupcakes, With yellow frosting and some had green stars... for the Sneetches. Addey liked the ones without the stars and Reece liked the ones with the stars, so it just added to the lesson that we should " forget about stars, and whether they had one, or not, upon thars" !! We also had Green Eggs and Ham for dinner and then of coarse ate our cupcakes again, then watched Horton Hears a Who!! I do not think Addey or Reece really got the concept of reading the Dr. Suess's books and why we then celebrated a birthday of a guy we did not even know, but I think they really enjoyed all the events of the week and I think we will try to make it a tradition and do it every year!!

Thanks Dr. Suess for writing great books and eventually , I know my girls will know who you are!

Self Pity???

Well As I was looking back at my other post and thinking about where our life have taken us recently I have felt a little self pity... No Wacey and I are NOT getting divorced (even thought I can see how it looked with Wacey In Oregon and me here), and yes Wacey just drove into Utah with a Penske truck with all of our stuff (I did intend on going back to Oregon after Christmas). I did not hate Oregon, I really think I could have gotten used to it in different circumstances... I loved our Ward and I meet some really good friends, Addey and Reece really loved Dance and Gymnastics, and I was learning a lot about myself and how to drive in the city (thank you Garmin). But there were also things that just did not work in our favor... Like not getting paid, Kinda a big thing when you move for a job. (See I think I had reasons for not enjoying Oregon quite as much as I should have)

Self Pity, oh I had a lot of that and I still find myself drowning in it some times when I am trying to figure out why it felt like going to Oregon was the right thing to do and what is next for us. But then I think about what happened in the few months we have been gone and even though I still have no idea why things happen the way they do, I am content. Seeing Wacey drive up after being gone for 2 weeks, well I think I am the happiest person today. I have my husband and my girls so what else can you ask for?? (Well maybe a job that will pay)

And NO we do not need donations. Sorry No pictures but all our stuff is still in the penske truck until we figure out our lives. I guess we thought we had our life all figured out but now we know our Journey is just beginning...

It is a small world...

I posted this story on a website my family has (note to the Bisel's remember to go to our our David A. Bisel blog!! And if you have anything to post do it.)

I thought I would also post it on here for everyone else to see! It is amazing how you meet people you never expect to, in the most unexpected places.

( This is one of those take it yourself Pictures)

This is BeauDee Bisel Richards, I am DeLoy Bisel, Jr.'s daughter and I have a story I would like to share with all of you. I love Woodland which is where I have lived, and I did not want to leave Woodland. But after talking Wacey, my husband, out of not leaving to move to Oregon once...even I could not pass up the offer the new job was giving to us. So I hesitantly left my family and my beautiful valley of Woodland that I love. We moved to Oregon in October and the first week I went to church the lady conducting Relief Society was fun and bubbly!! She asked me to stand and introduce myself and tell where I was from. I was shocked when she said "You moved from Woodland, Utah? I think I have family there we need to talk." Not to many people know were Woodland, Utah is so when she said she had family there I was a little excited!!!

I did not get to talk to her until a few weeks later. I had been having a hard time being away from my family and I trying to adjust to Oregon and our new life here. It had been about 3 weeks and I was homesick and did not know anyone, so when the Relief Society president called to get to know me I was so excited to have a adult conversation and get to know someone from my new surroundings!! While we were at the park the cute bubbly lady in the presidency came to tell me that they had a "mommy and me" for moms and kids at the church that day and I could go get to know some of them and let my girls play. As we were walking down the sidewalk to our cars she reminded me she had family in Woodland and I thought for sure I would know who they are, Woodland is a small town and I know most people there. But when she said "Well my maiden name is Bisel", I about died. I think my reaction was "SHUT UP, my maiden name is Bisel" and then we went on to figure this out! Turns out that she is Susan Bisel Green. I think we decided we are cousin's once removed. I had heard so much about Uncle Rean and I think when I told my dad we were moving to Oregon he told me that Uncle Rean had lived in Oregon. But I never thought about having anyone I would be related to here and in my ward!! It has been great to see Susan every Sunday and know I have family right here. It is a small world after all!!!
This picture is Susan and my girls!! Susan Invited us to come to her house and make turkeys for Thanksgiving!! We had tons of fun thank you Susan!!!

Utah CEO

I am so proud of Wacey... He works so hard and is so dedicated to work and making things better for our family, We moved out here to Oregon because one of Wacey's clients liked him so much they asked him to come and consult their business, He has also been building his business (Bench Creek Consulting) and... HE WAS FEATURED IN "UTAH CEO MAGAZINE" !!!!
