My kids loved having cousins to play with!
Ethan collected lots of bugs in Aunt Sherry's back yard
This dress was Haylee's....it brought back lots of sweet memories when I put it on Avery! I have beautiful girls:)

Can't wait!

You have got to love all this fun Utah weather!...OK not really it is 80 degrees one day and 45 degrees and snowing the next! But last Friday the weather warmed up and we had a BBQ with some neighbors. The babies had a blast in their exersaucers outside. We just CAN'T WAIT for warmer weather and lots more BBQ's!

GIRLS DAY...(with a little Ethan mixed in!)

Haylee: Tuesday we went to lunch and the Aquarium with the my friends!

I brought my brother and sister along too! We ate at Pei Wei...I love Chinese food!!!
After a GREAT lunch we headed to the Aquarium (again)
Me and Camden are going to be BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!
Aunt Katie and Cousin Stacey came too... whoa I couldn't see them, they look just like blow fish:) j/k
Ethan: This is my favorite joke! What do you call a snail on a boat?....drum roll please.......
A SNAILOR! hahahahahahah My mom says I look like a drunk sailor in this one, what ever that means?
Avery: I love Sydney! I can't wait until I can walk around and play with her! We will be bff's like Haylee and Camden!

Avery's 1st Haircut!

Everyone says I have crazy hair! So my mom decided to do something about it...

This is so exciting! I feel like a big kid:)
Does the cape fit me perfect or what?
Mom says to cut off this much!
Why are there tears in your eyes mom?
I feel so pretty!
YEAH still long enough to clip a bow in!!! Thanks Jesse we love it:)

Ball and babies or is it ballbabies?

Monday my daddy started Softball. Me and my mom went to cheer him on! It started out fun, there were other kids and a dog I could play with. My daddy would wave at me, and give me kisses through the fence. But then...it got cold and windy!

It didn't bother me until my MEAN mommy made me sit in the stroller all covered up! I made sure and poked my head out several times just to let her know how sad I really was!!! I think she got the point because we left before it was over.
I think daddy was as sad as me because they lost:(

It's so hard being little!!!

I'm on a QUEST!!!

actually IN a Quest.....Nissan that is!

I have joined the soccer moms and bought a van, and I LOVE IT! I even want the cute sticker decals of the stick families (I know everyone in Utah County has them, but I think our family would be cute as stick figures)
Doesn't it have a cute bum!?!
ASSIGNED SEATING
even Avery is excited

The console took me a while to get use too but I love the way it looks now:)
It has a sunroof and 4 moon roofs
We are so blessed to have so many nice things!
Do I look like I fit in with the other soccer moms?
Thanks Andy I love it!
And a HUGE Congratulations to my sweet niece and nephew who were baptised yesterday!!! I am so thankful we were able to attend and watch this amazing ordinance performed. We are so proud of both of you for making this decision, We love you both!

Our APRIL FOOL

April 1st was Andy's birthday! He is now closer to 30 then 20 (wow he's old! j/k) We checked Ethan out of school and took Andy to lunch and shopping. The kids got him golf balls, basketball shorts. and a batting glove. Then he went back to work until 8, the kids were excited because they got to stay up late.

When he got home we had cake and presents waiting. I made a lemon glazed cake, it was YUMMY! We invited his business partner and his wife over to eat cake with us. Then he opened Alvin and the Chipmunks ( they kids were also very excited about this) Spiderman 3, and some new clothes. His partner gave him Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the wii. My fam gave him gift certificates and his parents gave him $. I think he had a great birthday ( I hope he did? )

HAPPY BIRTHDAT BABE! WE LOVE YOU!!! You are the BEST!
