Uh Oh. She's starting early....

I found Brooklyn walking around like this the other morning. She wore my high heel for probably 20 minutes all around the house. I think she takes after her mom :)

Last weekend we took the kids down to the local park. There is this creek that runs under a bridge and the kids always want to go down and play. They had a lot of fun playing and splashing. Brooklyn is definitely a water kid. She wanted to go out into the deep water where there is a pretty good current. Tim was fighting the whole time just to make her keep holding his hand. The boys loved all the rocks and bugs and little fish. I think they would have brought one home if I had let them.

Schools Out!

Summer is finally here and we are so excited. Saying goodbye to school for a few months is bittersweet. Here are a few of teh hightlights from the last week.

Kaden did the cutest Kindergarten program with all kinds of singing and dancing. Here is is doing his bear necessities pose...(he called it the bear nesestinies)

Field day was a blast!

Go Kaden!

Tanner gearing up for the race.

Can't wait to make all the summer memories!

I scream, you scream...

We've had some really nice days recently and have loved taking advantage and going outdoors whenever we can. For family night treats the other night we whipped out the ice cream cones for the first time this season. Brooklyn thought it was the greatest thing ever.

She had to try Tanners...

Don't worry, she was sharing too....

Here Kaden, do you want some?

I was lucky enough to get a big sticky kiss. Wouldn't trade it for anything!

Hope you all are looking forward to summer as much as we are. May this be the first of many ice cream cones!

Milestones...

Kaden decided this was it! This was the year he was going to take off the training wheels and learn to ride his bike! (It helped that mom ran over one of the training wheels so the bike wouldn't really stand up straight anyways)

Here he is getting ready to go...

A little hard to get going...

And he is off...

You picked it up so quick Kaden. Great job! We are so proud of you.

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...

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.
