I finally took Ari to get her hair cut. I found this fun place not too far away. They specialize in princess so it was the perfect place for Ari!

Zoe, Ammon, and Nik all had the option of doing a science project. I, being the mean mom that I am, made them each do one! In the end they all had fun with the experiment part and hopefully learned a little bit. Ammon and I had fun trying to mix oil and water. We then layered five different liquids to make a rainbow in a jar.

 

Today it rain. Weird I think for it to rain in the middle of winter. Snow! I want snow! We haven't had snow since the first week in January. There is snow everywhere but it is the ugly snow. The black, dirty snow. I want clean fresh white snow! I think everyone in this house does!

 

Zoe got a fleece, Cinderella make it yourself blanket for her birthday. All the material was there she just had to cut and tie it together. She loves fleece blankets and couldn't wait to do this project. 

The kids had no school Friday or Monday. So we spent the Friday cleaning! Yes, they were so excited! We cleaned all the drawers, cupboards, walls, and counters in the kitchen. They were a great help even with all the complaining. I really appreciated all they did. It would have taken me much longer.

We were thrilled that Jason and Jaime were able to come visit us on Sunday. Jason just got hired at Weber State to be the quarterback coach. We are so excited for him, and even more excited that they were able to move back to Utah. They are about 1 1/2 hours away from us but it is much closer than Louisiana!

Today is Kalixta and Britain's fifth birthday. 5! They are getting so big!! They have been waiting for this day for a long time. Hopefully is was as great as they wanted. 

They got lots of great presents. (Thanks everyone!)

They were so funny opening presents. Kalixta opened presents so fast. (So shocking! Kalixta is our slow poke!) Britain would look at the present Kalixta just opened while still opening hers.

They had cute cakes thanks to Marci!

I can't imagine life without this two cuties! They make everything so fun! Check out Marci's blog (Platts on the sidebar) for more birthday pictures and fun info about the girls!

One of the letters in preschool this month is L. Britain and Kalixta showing off their lions and lollipops.  

Ammon is half way through first grade and finally lost some teeth, but it isn't his bottom teeth! Last week he went to dentist to have some cavities filled and the dentist told me there was no point filling the cavities. He said it was better to just pull the teeth out. So he did. Ammon lost two molars on the upper left side. One of them is his molar you are supposed to loose at age 11. In fact Nikolas just lost that molar. The roots on the teeth were HUGE! I felt so bad for the boy, but he is amazing. He didn't cry once and never complained about any pain. He is so tough, when it comes to dentist stuff.

He finally got a visit from the tooth fairy! He was so excited! Any guesses what he spent his money on? Gum and chips! No wonder he has cavities!

No matter how many times we go to and leave Oxnard it doesn't make it any easier. It is hard to say good bye to everyone we love to much. This time we said "See you soon!" We will be back in Oxnard for another wedding in April. Yeah Nick and Donna!!
