Jacob, Caleb, & josephs B-days... start at the bottom :)

He also got baptised 3 days later!!! He was so excited and said so many "cute" things that day.

Joseph is 8!!! He got his own BB gun... he was SO excited!

Caleb had a how to train your dragon party. It was his first friend party, and he had a BLAST!

Jacob in ONE!!! He was so cute but didn't want to touch his cake at all. :)
Sorry for the SUPER long post... I am a little behind obviously.

My Cute Kiddos...

These are my cute kiddos in their Easter outfits. They are getting so big and I just think they are such good looking kids! :)

CHICKENS!!!!

So... I am a sucker for baby animals! Shawn was very nice to "let" me get 6 baby chicks this year. The kids were so excited and have played with them everyday. They each got to give a name for a chicken (they all belong to all of us) They are Joey, Hercules, Margaret, Elizabeth, Elmer, and Annie. There are 3 white, 2 "golden", and 1 black. We are almost done with the coop and I am SOOO excited!

Winter Wonderland...

Spring in Utah is always unpredictable.... Even though I was NOT excited for the snow, it was SOOO pretty!

Princess Amerah

The girls and I (and our girly friends) went to see Princess Amerah! She was so cute and quite the princess! The girls loved it and wished they knew her whole song....

Monthly Reports

Every month the kids get to do an oral report. This month was on tall tales. Sarah chose El Dorado and Joseph chose Paul Bunyan. It is always so fun to listen to them and watch them "present" themselves and their report.

JACOB IS ONE!!!!

Jacob turned one this week! He is so cute and fun. He loves to tease, get into things, play with the kids, and make noise. He is almost walking and has finally learned to crawl "normal". We are so glad we have him!

(I love the frog towel I made :) )

The kids exibit at the Church History Museum

This week we went to the new exibit at the Church History Museum. It is Awesome! The kids would have stayed all day if I let them. We went with our friends so it was even more fun! There are dresses and headbands for the girls, vests for the boys, games, activities, etc..... GO SEE IT!!

Ice cream for Jacob

Jacob got his first ice cream cone with ice cream in it.... He loved it obviously. And, now he won't touch a cone without ice cream. :)

Sunday activities

Some Sundays we have peace and love.... but there are the other 99 that the kids want me to entertain them all day and to let them do activities that we have decided are not Sunday activities for us. This Sunday however I was getting ready and realized that the kids were very quiet. I went into the livingroom and found all the kids building with legos and getting along great. They did that for almost 3 hours and were sharing so amazingly the whole time. It was heaven on earth for three hours.... :)

Sarah the big sister

Sarah has become such a good helper and big sister. She is such a patient and loving babysitter. She is a HUGE help with Caleb when my short fuse has run out. :) I can't believe she is almost 10!

ST.PATTY'S DAY!

For breakfast I made these super cute rainbow pancakes that the kids LOVED and ask for them the next day too (i said no, too much prep)
For lunch we had green mac n' cheese. TOTALLY disgusting and hard to eat.....

But... for dinner we had little shamrock garlic rolls, Broccoli soup, sprite (thanks mom) and rainbow sherbet for dessert! It was wonderful!

The day was really fun and GREEN. All the kids dressed in green and for school we did a paper titled "If I found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow I would...." They had some pretty cute ideas and thought really hard about it. Sarah said she would save animals, give to charities, travel the world, and buy a city. Joseph said he would buy his mom and dad a mansion, and then buy himself a DS and some Pokemon games. Hannah said she would keep it safe and then she would buy fun things. Caleb said he would buy a dragon, a lightning mcqueen, and a night furry. Yeah for holidays!
