Photo shoot favorites


We had a great time taking family photos when we were in Utah. It was a very windy day, as you can see in the pictures. But it's a good thing we got them when we did because there was 5-6 inches of snow in the ground the next morning. Credit where credit is due: http://www.michaelandkaraleephoto.blogspot.com/

The Rest of April


Here is a picture catch up of the rest of the month:





Lindsey is becoming quite the little reader, and she loves to read to anyone who will listen!



My first bountiful basket. Don't know what that is? Check out bountifulbaskets.org.
Basically, you get $35-$40 worth of fruits and vegetables for $15. It's fresh and very yummy! I'm a fan! 



East Sunday dresses



Here are the cuties on a different Sunday


Mr. Independent with his new found crawling skills



Here is Lindsey's Easter project from school: an edible bird's nest




Here is Oreo the night we brought him home. What a cute, little puppy!




Here is proof that Oreo and Dylan can co-exist at times without eating each other's toys and/or crawling over or licking the other. 




Here is Brandon's 2nd grade trip to the zoo, which Justin got to chaperone




Here is the Easter Egg hunt at the church on Saturday. It was absolutely gorgeous outside!








The girls with friend Ryder



Oreo continues to grow and get visibly bigger every week or two




But he can still fit in his doggy toy box. I know, I know, you didn't know there were doggy toy boxes? Well, there are, and when your husband works as a pet supplies buyer at Amazon he brings home all kinds of freebies, mostly for the dog these days. You're looking at the most spoiled dog on the block!




Here is Dylan trying out some banana. This boy is getting much better at trying new foods!!



Our indoor Easter Egg Hunt (since it was wet outside)






Daddy giving hints



Time for naps?




Good job hiding eggs Daddy!



The much anticipated Pinewood Derby



Brandon with his friend Berkley




Brandon won one race the whole night (racing against 5 other cars at a time). His car the award for "the most menacing!"



I think that covers the highlights. It was a busy and fun month!
