Messy Day

A typical day in the Backus household has its share of messes.
If you lived here, this is how you might find a your children after you brushed you teeth and got dressed.
Thank goodness they were washable markers.  

And after you gave your children the cookie dough beaters, they may look like this when they are through.

While nap time may seem like a time of peace, quiet, and cleanliness, that is not always the case here. You may find that your child has thrown pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, pants, and diapers out of their bed. Chances are pretty good that they left a wet (or worse) surprise in the crib too.

Also, do not be surprised if you child looks like this after eating one small, tiny piece of chocolate Easter candy.

Yup, just a typical day at the Backus home.

Cousin Time

Spring Break was a great time to visit family. We enjoyed Bradley's and Jessi's wedding and festivities, eating and walking in down town Mesa, going to parks, children's museums, story time, treasure hunts, and just hanging out with family. I just wish I was better at taking pictures! Here are some of the few pictures I took.
