Mothers Day

We had a great Mothers Day weekend. It seemed we were celebrating all weekend long. On Friday I got to go to Kaden's class for a Mothers Day activity. He had made me a corsage, pictures and planted a flower. It was great. Thanks Kaden.

On Sunday I got to wear my corsage to church and Tanner made me a flower to wear in my hair. I have the best boys in the world. Tim made a yummy dinner and I got to relax.

One of the best gifts was these little books the boys made in primary. They wrote down information about their moms. So cute I have to share...

3. What makes your mom happy?

Easter Fun!

We had a great easter this year. We were really busy and seemed to have some kind of Easter activity all weekend long. Here are a few things we did.

Easter Morning ready to go and see the goodies from the Easter bunny.

I think they were excited! I don't know how much Brooklyn understood, but she loved her Dora color wonder book.

We had an Easter egg hunt and carnival with a bunch of friends. There was a live bunny that Brooklyn couldn't leave alone.

Here are the eggs we decorated this year. The boys had a lot of fun making them into monsters.

Egg hunt at the local park. It was a bit chilly, but they still had a lot of fun and came home with a basketfull of eggs.

So Big!

My sweet baby... unfortunately, you have been a little sick this week. You haven't been your normal self and have been a little grumpy. As hard as it is to see you not feel well there has been an up side for me. You are so snuggly. Where your norm lately is to never sit still and explore everything, this week we have spent countless time snuggled on the couch, rocking in your room or just sitting quietly together to read a book. It has made me realize how fast you are growing up and how big you are now. So today I am looking at these pictures in awe of you and all the milestones you have accomplished.

Here you are reading yourself a book. You look so grown up!

You certainly love your bath time and are so independent. Look how long your hair is! My favorite thing about your bathtime is the wonderful pictures you leave behind with your bath crayons. My tub is always covered in circles and your version of flowers.

You have become very adventurous at the park lately. The slide is your favorite and you can do it all by yourself. You are never afraid. You even like to go down on your belly and giggle the whole way. I'll have to watch out for you... little daredevil!

I love you and can't wait to see how you keep growing. Just be sure to always give me my snuggle time too!

Naptime Mischief

Hi Sweetheart, did you have a good nap? Oh my, what is on your face?

It is all over your shirt too! Wait a second... is that....???

Yes, yes it is. You took off your diaper all by yourself.... and used it for entertainment.

Welcome to my day!

Lately....

The boys had an art fair at their school. We got to go and see a bunch of their work hung up in the hallways. These were some of our favorites.

Tanners class put on a spring musical and he was lucky enough to be chosen for a small group singing part. We worked really hard for a few weeks to memorize his part. He did fantastic! Great job Tanner!

Brooklyn has decided she loves being a girl and has fully embraced everything girly from pink and purple to jewels, shoes and accessories.

If there is anything shiny or sparkly around the house she finds a way to put it on her body!

Last winter hurrah!

After some unseasonably warm weather we were treated to one last snow. The kids of course wanted to take full advantage and head right out. Even though there wasn't a ton of snow they had a lot of fun! Brooklyn had the best seat in the house. She loved it and they couldn't pull fast enough.

Our little snow bunny!

Yum!

She is blessed to have the best big brothers in the world.

See you next year snow.

So last night we had a really fun girls night out. We got together for a Valentines Day exchange/party. We each had to bring enough valentines to exchange. I had a lot of fun making mine. The center of the flowers were various pink and red nail polishes and the dirt was a chocolate bridge mix. Yum!

Thanks to Heather and all the girls for a fun night out!
