We decided to head up to Smithfield for some family fun a couple wknds ago and it was great. I had yet to meet Dallin Bruce Jensen, and my mom threw a Norwex party for me so I had to work :) Fin was just happy and chubby most of the way.

 Friday night we just hung out. Saturday morning we got to making treats for the party...Sawyer LOVES helping in the kitchen! And even more, when it's Mana baking!

 Sawyer is such a good helper with Fin. she LOVES babies, and I'm thinking she's going to be a great sitter when she comes of age :) She wanted to take the babies on a walk, so I joined her.

 They were so excited. They pranced up and down the street for like 20 min.

 Taisyn, where are you????

 this tree scared the bajeebies out of me every time. It hums with the sound of bees. LOADED chuck.full. of the creatures. I hate it.

 Sawyer was left with the camera for the walkie

 Finally I had to rally them up because they wouldn't listen- how dare they, naughty little one year olds!

 love that we can walk holding hands now.

 Saturday night, Sawyer wanted so badly to have everyone go out to dinner for her birthday. Your wish is my command little red!  So, we did. We went to her diner of choice- Texas Roadhouse. And it was so fun. I just wish that place was more large family friendly. We always have to split up..and it's not as good!

 Trying to get a good picture of each booth before mom, dad and Cas showed up. Hello to Kara & Ben!

 of course we had to do a little bit of "pretend laugh" game...

 Sawyer thought it'd be funny to do a headstand on the cushion...not funny.ever. 

 the babes, just chillin in their high chairs, trying to behave themselves. always.

 sibling love at our booth.... oh jess....beautimus Casi though!

 squishy pictures!

 mind if you will, the bombers in the back..my my we are funny

 but funnier still when Brent gets in on it! :) hahah!

in all seriousness though- how cute are those girls and my parents!!!!

 In honor of the bdays in the month of April, we had a celebratory saddle ride for all 3 of them. Sawyer was waiting for this ALL NIGHT!!!!!! Dream come true.

 Me and 2 of my ladies trying to steal a quick cute pic....took a couple of tries....crazies.

 Love it when Jess and dad are friends. Notice if you will though, Jess cowering and trying to protect himself from a whap from dad...it always happens...

 and this picture is just pure awesome....love catching things unexpectedly. Nice face pops!!! hahahaa!

 see, they do love eachother

 bwahahahahah

 Squishy saw the camera and wanted in on the action. and I mean now!

 Sunday after church, Kara and sweet Dallin came over to play. Oh the sweetness!!!!! He's SO SO SO SO SO SO cute!!!! I love him. And I'm so grateful it's not mine to have to take care of! ;)

 but she is, and that's fine. I love this Miss Squish

 time of the kids lives=when Jess jumps on the tramp with them for half hours of fun. They begged. and begged. and begged. and begged for this moment to happen.

 "bounce me jess!!!"

 Haddie was safe in Jess's arms the whole time.

 It was so glorious outside that we just sat and basked for a couple hours I think. Loved it. Every second. 

 and otter pops came out for the children.

 love these sissies of mine. Missed the other 2!!!!!! I am now the only blonde of the sisters. Casi has been converted to the dark side and it is beautiful.

 Cute Mr. Dal all ready for nappies.
