OK, I am almost embarrassed to post this, however I need to for posterity's sake so that when my kids have kids and they get to a point where they think they are loosing their mind, they may be able to keep going knowing their mom went through the same thing.
I could not find my cell phone last night or this morning, but did not worry much about it because in the back of my mind I just knew it was buried in my large over crowded purse and I would hear in when it rang. After the fourth store I had been to I looked at the running boards as I was walking to the car and spotted my cell phone. Yes it had been on their since last night and luckily it stayed there. BLESSING! I needed to find it to rescue me from the next story.
So, today I dropped Madeline off at preschool and then made my way to walmart to buy a few last minute items for Haley's birthday, then to the dollar store to pick up some items I need for preschool next week, then into Smiths to see if they have any of the 99 cent scalloped potatoes that I can use my coupons with and get for free, (which they did not have of course so it was a wasted trip), then I ran home for a minute to get something before I headed back to pick up Madeline from preschool. Marianne did really well with all this shopping and in and out of her car seat, but was getting tired at this point. Well I had about ten minutes to kill, so as I am driving I see a neighborhood that still has model homes open that I have always wanted to look through, but their gate was always shut and I do not know the gate code. Well today it was open and it was calling my name. So I drive in, pull up to the house and take Marianne out of her seat. When we get to the door the sign say, "sorry I missed you". So I head back to the car and try to put Marianne back into her seat. She is not happy about it this time. She arches her back, arms flailing, screaming the whole bit. I quickly realize this is going to take both hands and a lot of strength. So I drop my keys on the console and after a little struggle get her in her seat, promptly shut the door and go to open my door and realize that when I dropped the keys they locked the doors. So..... My baby is locked in the car and I have no way of opening it. So I panic and call Kristen. (thank goodness I found my phone) Long story short. She drives to my house, thankfully I did not lock that door, and thankfully it is not 100 degrees yet, she brings me the other set of keys, I am late picking up Maddy and I have to tell the other moms I locked my kid in the car.
I will post later about my episode teaching preschool, my 911 call and trip to the fire station! That will be coming soon on my part two of Mishaps of a FRAZZLED mother of FOUR!

Happy Birthday Haley !
I cannot believe my little girl is 9 years old. It just seems like yesterday that she was getting baptized and now she is a year older. I think she had a great day today. Nothing makes a mom happier than seeing the excitement in her child eyes. We started the morning with breakfast in bed. Breakfast was a donut by request of Haley. My kids never get donuts so this was a huge treat. I don't think Haley ever had a donut until she was 4. Then she got to open one present which was a new outfit to wear to school. We took her favorite mint brownies to celebrate with her class. And she was so excited to tell me that the first thing her teacher said to her when she walked in the door was "Happy Birthday". Thank goodness for wonderful teachers that make such a good impact on our children. Geez they get to spend more waking hours with our kids than we do. Then we met Scott for dinner at her favorite restaurant Panda Express and then off to Baskin Robbins for her favorite ice cream, which was her cake! Then home to open presents before Scott and I had to both leave for church meetings. She got a Zhu Zhu pet and house, which was all she wanted and she was so excited and grateful. I wish I had pictures to show you but I cannot find my cameras battery charger and the pictures I took with Scott's work camera will stay on that camera until he brings home a cord to download them.
We love you Haley Bugs!
We love you Haley Bugs!

She's getting SOOOO Big!
Today was Marianne's first day in Nursery. She was so proud of the picture she colored! It was a bitter sweet day for me! Bitter because going into nursery means she is getting older and she is no longer my little baby, but is a toddler now. Sweet because she is a nightmare at church. She does not know how to be quiet and she is not content to just sit still and listen. LOL She had no problem walking into nursery and her teacher said she had a great time. Her teacher was actually surprised because there was no adjusting for her. This does not surprise me because she will let a near stranger hold her and then get mad when they hand her back to me. But at other times she is so clingy and won't go to anyone else but me. All I know is that Marianne has a very strong personality!! We love her to death she makes us laugh on a daily basis. One of her favorite games to play with her dad is to call out, "Daddy" and wait for him to respond with "Punkin." They do this over and over. The other thing she does to her Dad is she will not kiss him. Scott will ask her for a kiss and she shakes her head, "no, no, no." Then I ask for a kiss and she gives me one. Scott asks again for a kiss and she does the same thing, we do this three or four times until Scott finally grabs her face and steals a kiss, then she laughs and laughs. She knows right where her bottles are and she will periodically grab one and find me and say, "ba ba." Then I take it to the fridge and she giggles and gets all excited when I fill it up. Yes I still let her have a bottle every once in awhile. I was so strict with my other three, the day they turned one, no more bottle. I guess I am trying to keep her a baby! I love how excited she gets when she sees a snuggly (her blanket, or pretty much any fleece blanket). I also love that she says, "unts" and this means anything from, "hey I want that", "give it to me now", "look at me, " "listen", etc. That is her universal word she uses to get about anything she wants!!! What a fun girl!
HELLO March!
CAUTION: this is not for the weak, pictures may be a little graphic
Well.... Let's just say that March came in with a BANG! This is how the first day of the month started. I had a doctors appointment. They drew my blood to run some tests, and they cut off a huge mole I have had growing on my back for the last seven years. We went to Scotty's soccer practice after school and then to In-n-Out for some dinner and Family home evening! Marianne was a nightmare there. We come home the kids take showers, Scotty and Maddy together and Haley and Marianne together. Haley and Marianne manage to get out, we get them ready for bed, however Scotty and Maddy on the other hand are not quite so easy! Scott has told them several times to get out. The last and final time he is marching down the hall ready to let them know he is beyond serious and he hears a CRASH!! One of the glass sliding doors on the tub came crashing down. Apparently Scotty had them doing tricks, which I am sure loosened the door from its tracks, Maddy lost her balance put her whole weight on the door and down it came. Thank goodness it shattered and her hand was the only thing cut. She was covered in glass, and Scott new right away she was going to need stitches. But I had him call another agent who lives down the street to have his wife who is a nurse come and look at it for us. She sent us to the hospital and they stayed with our kids and put them to bed for us.
(the picture is a little blurry because I took it with my cell phone while we were waiting at the hospital)
To make a long story short, Scott was very angry at little Scotty for not listening and getting out sooner, he was mad at himself for not fixing a piece on the door that needed to be repaired, we made it to the emergency room at Centennial Hospital at 8:50 pm and Maddy and I did not leave until 4:30 am. Yes that was 8 HOURS!!!! Madeline was a trooper though. She slept the first hour we were there then she was awake and happy until they had to sedate her to put the stitches in. Scott left about midnight when we finally realized we were here for the long haul. Maddy and I then played eye spy for the next 4 and a half hours. We did not cry or complain at all unless someone wanted to take the wash cloth off her hand. She did not want to look at it. I don't blame her I did not want to look at it. The doctor said there was no way he would be able to keep her calm enough to numb her hand in three place and put in the amount of stitches that were needed. So they gave her a shot that sedated her. She was awake, but not responsive at all. It was freaky to see your 4 year old on drugs. That was the scariest part for me. But is made it so she did not feel a thing and it was not traumatic at all, which was a huge blessing.
As they did x-rays of her hand they found that she had cut a tendon in her index finger, she we would have to see a hand surgeon to make sure nothing more needed to be done. 
We visited the hand surgeon 2 days later and she said it should heal up just fine. She gave Maddy this wrist cast to keep on to make her feel safe and to protect her hand some. She wore it from Thursday to Sunday. I finally convinced her on Sunday to take it off so her stitches could dry up. It was fun to watch her go from not using it at all to saying, "mom look I can hold a crayon with this hand." By the end of the day she was using it quite a bit. It is amazing how resilient children are.
Then 10 days later Maddy got her stitches out and she is doing fabulous
This picture was taken at the doctors office as we were waiting to be seen. Maddy was so giggly and happy! She was not scared at all. I had told her in the morning that we were going back to the doctor to get her stitches out. She asked" Are they going to cut me with a real knife?" I assured her that they were not going to cut her, but that they were going to use scissors to cut the stitches. That eased her mind and she had no worries after that. She sat as still as could be while Dr. Fraser cut her 17 stitches off. Dr. Fraser said she was the best patient she has ever had and I think she meant it. I am always amazed at how strong Madeline is. She does not get freaked out very easy. In fact when Haley found out that Maddy did not cry at the hospital she told Maddy that if it were her she would have been screaming. Oh boy that was the truth!
Here is a picture of her hand tonight. It is already looking so much better. Dr. Fraser told me to put vitamin E oil, coconut oil, or what ever on the scars and to rub them daily. She said that the rubbing is what will loosen the scar tissue and make the scars less noticeable. I guess Madeline's hopes of being a hand model are out the window. Thank goodness her face is so dang cute, she still has opportunities!

Recap of February
Happy 4th Birthday Madeline!!!
Maddy turned 4 on February 2nd. I cannot not believe she is so big! We had a great evening. Her birthday was on a Tuesday night, which is stake meetings night so we had about an hour to have dinner and a party before Scott had to leave. Madeline was fine with that because once her presents were opened all she wanted to do was play! You gotta love how easy she is to please.
Scott brought pizza home for dinner..
I made a make shift cake out of the leftover cupcakes she took to preschool...
Maddy LOVED her princess dress she got from her Grandma...
...And Haley loved playing with the new pony house she got. It was a great day!! We love Missy Moo! She is our little princess. She loves to dress up, put on makeup, and play in Mom's jewelry box. She has a great sense of humor and loves to be teased. She is a wonderful addition to our family!
POLAR SWIM
One day Scotty had the Butler boys over to play and they decide that they want to jump in the pool. Yes, Las Vegas is much warmer than the rest of the country, but it is February still and it was an over cast and fairly cold day. So they get their swim suits on and jump in. The videos tell the rest of the story. I had to laugh because my 6 year old was taunting and pressuring a 12 year old to jump in the pool! Scotty is one fearless kid and I love his spunk and excitement for life!
Valentines Day!
We had a great Valentines day! The kids had fun making their valentines and their boxes to take to school. Scotty and Haley both had school parties that I was able to attend. For some reason this month I did not have my camera on me and so I have very few pictures.
This is Haley and Scotty separating and trading their Valentines candy.
Scott and I decided to have a Valentines party at our house with some friends.
This is the only picture I have of the party. Me, Laura, and Kristen. We took this after most people had left. They are two of my favorite people. We had about 12 couples, we ate dinner, played the newlywed game and laughed our heads off. It was so much fun. We will definitely be having another party soon. Scott's sister Angela came for the weekend and we could not have pulled it off with out her help. She helped us get everything ready and then took the kids to dinner and a movie that night. We love you Angela!
Since we were having a party, Haley talked me into letting her have a party for her friends as well. Scotty felt left out so I invited a friend over for him during Haley's party. They had a great time, however it made for a busy week!
A Night Out
Scott and I got to escape one Friday to go to dinner and the movies. We saw Avatar and LOVED it! Anyway, we came home to this. Our cute babysitter McKayla helped the kids cut out and decorate all these hearts and puppets so they could heart attack our door! They had so much fun! Gotta love a good babysitter!
Bathroom
I finished painting the wainscot we put up in our bathroom. Scott put up hooks for each of the kids and I bought them each their own towel in different colors. This was so they would not get upset if somebody else used the towel before them. Haley is really the only one who cares, but she will not use a towel if she thinks her brother as much as breathed on it. My mom was kind enough to embroider their names on their towels as well. I love the colors and think it looks cute. Notice the hooks. I got cute girly ones for the girls and put up a plain manly one for Scotty. One more thing knocked off our list!
Fireplace
Scott made some more progress on the fireplace. He covered the small tiles that I did not like with leftover wainscot from the bathroom. Next we need to paint!

Recap of January
We have been very busy and I cannot ever seem to find a minute to sit down and document all that has gone on. So I am going to try and catch up a little. Here is what happened at the Hendricks home that past two months....
Scott's dad came to help us get our house ready the day after Christmas. Together they laid our beautiful wood floors and beefed up our fireplace mantel. They worked so hard and they got SOOOO messy. They were covered in glue! Here is my Scott's hands they did not get all the way clean for weeks.
Here is my father in laws elbow where he tried to pull off some glue. The glue came off, but so did his skin. 
We appreciated all the work Scott's dad did. Here
is the mantel, they built up the top section.
Here is an updated picture of the mantel.
Scott added the wainscot to cover the small tiles. We will soon have pictures of the finished product. Scott has the first coat of paint on it. He is painting it to look like dark wood. It is going to be beautiful! I cannot wait until it is finished.
Entertaining kids... who would have thought that we have so many horses and ranches just minutes from our house. The kids were bored one day while we were getting the house ready so I took them exploring around our new house. We found so many fun things to see. They beg me still almost every weekend to take them to look at and feed the horses. Too bad Grandma and Grandpa don't live closer so they can actually ride the horses!
We moved in...the first week of January. We are so grateful to the many friends and ward members that helped us pack, clean, move and unpack. We have so many wonderful friends here in Las Vegas. It truly is a wonderful place to live!
These girls helped me clean almost all day! They were truly a DREAM TEAM! Laura, me, Kacey, and Jackie.
Laura always just showed up on my doorstep asking what she could do for me and it was always right when I needed someone. This is what happened this day too. Kacey and Lincoln were over the minute we called for help. They are great friends. Jackie had come over several times prior to help me pack my house. I miss working with her in Young Women's. She is so AMAZING!!! I cannot forget Kristen, she helped me clean until the wee hours of the night the night before. I love you Kristen! I also had many other friends, Melanie, Lindsay, Melanie G. and others that helped me pack or watched my kids. It is so nice to have people to rely on when all your family lives so far away!
Punkin's new hiding spot!
Marianne thinks she is so funny climbing into the fridge. At our old house she loved to climb up on the dishwasher. This made Scott crazy, because her weight would pull the dishwasher out away from the wall and he would have to fix it. So she got in trouble if her daddy ever caught he up there. Well it looks like she found a new favorite spot, the refrigerator! What a cute girl! 
Watched the Judd's for a few days! Our good friends the Judd's, found out they were moving to Utah for a job transfer a few days after we moved into our house. We are so going to miss them. They are our rook friends. We both have long history of playing rook (a card game) in our families genealogy. We have a great time when we get together.
Eliza, Haley, Emma (standing) Their daughter Emma is Haley's best friend. Haley is very sad that she is moving, she has shed many tears already. Well they left for Utah to look for a house and we got to watch their girls for a few days. The kids had fun. Yes, they have four girls. It seems that all our friends have all girls, poor Scotty. His dad was gone to Utah for work so he was stuck in a house with 7 girls. When he is older he will only wish he could be in that situation again, especially since all their girls are so dang cute. 
Here is Scotty and Elle. They are the same age and have a great time together. In a previous post, I told about how Scotty learned what having a crush meant. Well this is his crush. I can only hope he would marry someone like her someday!
I took the kids to Smoothie King one of the nights and sent them in to get a drink while Marianne and I stayed in the car. There was a lady in the car next to me and she mouthed, "are those all yours?" I said, "Yep!" I will claim the 7 cute blond kids taking over the store. They told the clerk they were the Henjuddricks! We had a great time with them.
My parents came to help... clean our old house. They worked and worked and worked. And by the time they left, our house was sparkling clean. I love when they come down and I am so sad when they leave. I so wish we lived closer!!! I have decided that Scott and I have the BEST parents in the world! They are always so willing to do anything for us!

Beautiful Eyes!
Tonight at dinner Scott told Madeline how beautiful her eyes were. She does have the most gorgeous BIG brown eyes. It is sometimes hard to get mad at her because of those eyes. Anyway, that is not the point of this post. She proceeds to tell him that he is wrong her eyes are not beautiful. I am getting concerned thinking my 3 year old is already having self esteem issues, and wondering how I am going to handle this. As I listen to her further, she says, "my eyes are not beautiful, they are brown, I don't like brown it's not pretty." I then realize it is not her eyes she dislikes, but the color, so I ask, "what color do you wish your eyes were?" Madeline says..."PURPLE!"
I am quickly reassured that she is OK with herself, she is 3 and what little 3 year old princess would not die to have purple eyes like her barbies?
