It's Spring Fever, I Tell Ya!

let me start by saying that i havent' posted since easter...that's a long time...so there are muchas picturas here....

easter morn- who needs anything but their own water bottle?

$1.50 at Wal-Mart- bless the Easter Bunny

before church easter morning, we decided we should dye some eggs!

so, dye we did!

"Mom, take a picture of us trying to eat the eggs"

the finished product

such focus

my favorite was that Max found it necessary to use every cross sticker that came in the kit we bought....oh well......

After church- we headed over to Mana's for some easter/birthday fun!

GET IT!!!!

Sawyer wasn't feeling the goodness of the cake, so I told her to just take a bite....bite she did, and she loved it!

We got to go to Chuck E Cheese with friends one of these blustery cold wet days....are they ever going to end???? But it was good to rekindle the old flame between these two- tryin to keep it alive! They're hilarious! And, I just walked into the living room to see my baby looking so big....

excuse the diaper

had to get photos

on Sawyer's actual birthday, we went to eat dinner at the park with JesseAnn, Dave, and the kiddies. It was so fun.

carefully making their way across the river

I made a lil cake and we sang to our baby girl after we ate homemade pizza- good times!

We've spent many hours playing on our "patch" on the days where the sun happens to come out lately. My shins are taking a beating from the sun- oh sunscreen you say?- maybe next time!
Conli and Brynn were rockin the dress ups, and David was feeling left out. So, we stuck one on him. It only took a matter of SECONDS and he knew something wasn't right..he took it right off

Brynn and Conli- Forever in Dress ups!

uh- Miami Vice anyone? Max came walking out the door like this the other day.
It was hilarious.

This was his exact reaction to me calling him Miami Vice and laughing my head off....

For FHE we went to the duck pond with Aaron and Dar +kidlets

pretty sure the ducks are confused with the weather, and they're hibernating cuz it's cold, but warm, then snowing, then hot, then ok, then snowing again.....there weren't many there to feed

but don't you worry, the kids gave it their best effort. pretty sure the 3 ducks there won't need to eat til fall. pre-cookie faced Soy

Max tried to go for a swim. That equals time out----naughty lil guyhe told us he "forgot" it was deep....oh Max

COOKIES

Marin, Max, Conli, Ashton and Sawyer

cutie pies

A Fly Fisherman in the making c'mere ducks! Sawyer wanted to take a lil drive and relax

another day on the "patch". Brynn discovered a new way to paint your face with sidewalk chalk. You cover the ground with the chalk, then you rub your face in it...oh boy---hours of fun, but

CHALK EVERYWHERE!!!!!another day of sun goodness, and Janet had the awesome idea to let the kids play up at the falls!

always posing, ALWAYS I.LOVE.YOU pretty sure these crazies would've climbed all the way up the falls....they're not afraid of anything! Makes Mama nervous!

Gooey, just waiting patiently for me to take her into the water

yes, muscles

making their way up

A cute lady asked me "how old are they?," thinking these 2 were twins...it's crazy how much they seriously look alike!!!

Janet, Me, Mary

gettin a pose on before heading home


This weekend, we headed up to Logan. Kyli had a dance this weekend and wanted me to do her hair. Now, I've done my other sister's hair for dances, but that was like 7 years ago or more- when I thought I had the skills! This time I was way nervous! But we PREVAILED! It doesn't hurt that he subject is a beauty queen!!!!

Conli couldn't contain her excitement. She watched every bit of Kyli getting ready.

i loved this lil moment.

i mean c'mon- look what I was working with!

Kyli, the Beautiful, all gussied up for the dance

do you see the craze in these eyes?? WATCH OUT!

I love this picture. It made me excited for when Conli's this age, getting ready to go to some dance, with some cute boy. I love how much her aunt loves her too! My kids are so blessed!

who needs Disneyland when we have princesses here? Conli even made sure we went outside and took pictures

the hair dresser and the Beautiful

Conli loved the "shawl" parts

oh! doesn't it make you want to be in High School again or is it just me?

in the car on the way home tonight, Max let us know his "tooth that was wiggled is now getting wigglier." I didn't know his lil tooth was even close to coming out. Next thing we know, "AHHH, and it's really wiggled out!!!"He was stoked. He said that since Dad did the first one, I did the second one and he did this one, Conli gets to pull the next one- cuz he has 3 teeth left to lose (?). Conli's kinda worried about it- cuz it bleeds a bit- but we'll see what happens next time!
