Keeping Busy

We have been busy.  Michael took the boys camping last weekend.  Leah stayed with me and went a on a jog.  Michael finished up his Young Men's basketball season.  We just got our foundation on our house fixed. 
The boys have gotten themselves into a bit of trouble early on in the week.  On Sunday they scraped the paint off the wall in Leah's bedroom.  On Monday that didn't listen very well.  On Tuesday while I was in the shower they got into the body wash that was sitting in a box in my room and dumped in on my living room floor.  It took me a several hours to clean it up.  They finished up the week with a better track record. 


Joshua got a few awards this week at school.  He got the alphabet award, citizenship award, and the perfect attendence award. He is doing so well in school.  We are so proud of him.  He is gaining more and more confidence.  He loves to play with friends.  He is looking forward to summer and playing in the water. 

Leah is doing well.  She is getting in some molars.  We now have her preforming a few "tricks" for us.  She will now throw away her own diaper.  After getting her dressed she will put her clothes in the dirty clothes hamper.  She will also point to her nose when asked.  Leah is just growing up so fast. 

Dallin is doing amazing as well.  He almost has the whole alphabet down, and he can almost write his whole name.  He can be so sweet sometimes.  He often brings me flowers.  He is getting a little better at controling his emotions.  He loves to ride his bike and goes really fast.  He is really good in Primary.  He sits and listens.  He loves his Sunbeams teacher. 

Happy Easter!

We have been spoiled all week by family!  My boys have loved showing off for their relatives.  We have had a great week!  Now that everyone is gone our house seems too quiet.  We decided to take a few Easter pictures before Church.  This is the best we could do.  :)  We are happy that it is Easter and love the reason for celebrating of Easter.  Happy Easter!

We had a blast this week with so much family in town.  My sister, Jenny got married on Friday.  My Mom and sister, Kira came a week early to help out and we also got to play a little.  Everyone else came in on Wednesday and Thursday.  We played so much each of us are exhausted now.  Congrats to Jenny and Tony! 

Blue Bonnet Pictures!

In Texas tradition we had to take pictures with the Blue Bonnets.  We are not very photogeneic, but the flowers are very pretty.  Enjoy!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Michael!

We started the morning out with cake, legos, and a note being dropped off at our door.  So sweet!  I stayed home from Church because Leah was running a fever.  It gave me a chance to make the cheesecake and rolls.  We had  yummy steak and potatoes for dinner.  Michael got cookies at Chruch.    He got a marshmellow gun on Saturday that he had a good time shooting at the boys!  We got another yummy dessert dropped off at our door last night.  We ate that for breakfast.  Yummy!  He sure is loved! We have such great friends and family!  On Friday we celebrated by going to The Hunger Games and dinner with friends.  It was so fun!  Jenny and Tony babysat for us it was so nice!!

I had a hard time deciding what to get him, but we went with a leaf blower.  Yes, I know so exciting!  ;)  Dallin picked out UNO for Michael.  The boys are excited to play it tonight.

 

Spring Break

Joshua was out of school for the week, so we wanted to live it up!  Michael went to Scout camp where it sounded like he had a good time.  We started out the week having friends over and then headed to the Arboretum.  We also had our house toilet papered and our lawn forked.  Michael was convinced it wasn't any of the youth from the Church.  I was convinced it was.  It wasn't until someone else from our Church mentioned that their house was toilet papered too that he finally agreed with me.  Half the people I told thought it was awful the other half thought it was a funny joke.  I am of the it must mean we are loved camp.  :)


The Arboretum is beautful this time of year.  I love tulips, and we can't grow them here because is is too hot.  We have to go to the Arboretum to enjoy them. 

 

 

Leah is ready to jump into the fountain.  She is in that active stage, but can't keep up with her brothers yet.  She is walking around now, but just can't keep up.  ;)

The Aboretum has these fun houses for the kids to look at a learn a little bit about Artists this year.

I like to get a good sad face picture every now and again. 

We had a great time at the Aboretum.  We had a great week, now this week will be back to the grind.  We have to start gearig up for Aunt Jenny's wedding.  :)
