Happy Easter and Spring Fun


Lindsey got to go to the zoo on a field trip and Justin got to be her chaperone. They had a great day together!




Love these spring sunny days. Justin's playing king of the mountain, or play set as it were.






Here is the obligatory Easter shot. One of the kids in green didn't want to be a part of the picture. After many attempts this was the best of the best. Oh well!



Love these handsome boys!



Love these little ladies!




We loved having a beautiful sunny Easter so we could search for eggs outside. Unfortunately a couple broke open and the ants found the contents inside before the kids did.









Me at the park with two boys on my lap



Justin getting some guy time in at Iron Man 3. We love having so many great friends here!



And we participated in a 5k as a family to support Pacific Ballroom Dance, which Brandon is with this year. It was a perfect day for a walk/run! Brandon decided to run in the 1 mile race for kids after the 5k and he came in 3rd place! I didn't realize he was such a great distance runner!





 

This boy is getting big!



And tummy time is hard work!




Under the Sea



This year was Brandon's last Pinewood Derby and he did great! He designed his own car and he won 2nd place overall out of about 35 cars. Way to go Brandon!



Completing a requirement for his Webelos badge....making home made pizza all by himself



It's a face, can you tell?



Weston and Charlie get along great so far.




Here's Weston trying his first bites of rice cereal. Not a fan. But he does like green beans!






Weather has been awesome lately! We've done lots of eating outside!

Spring Time Happenings


It's time to get caught up again. We've been pretty busy around here, so here's an update:

Loved listening to General Conference! Here are a few pictures of the family during the 2 days...




Charlie looks comfy!




Making origami things








If the fire is on, Charlie will be in front of it.



Love these little fingers!



For spring break we didn't have any fun trips planned, so we decided to go camping in the house. We set up the big 6 man tent, which is huge when it's inside!



Excited to have his own sleeping bag!



Ready for the stories to begin



I loved that once the kids were asleep (finally!) Justin and I got to go up and sleep in our own comfy bed. My kind of camping! :)

 We also got a fire pit, which we were determined to initiate, even if it was a little windy and cold.





Here is a picture of Charlie, caught in the act! He stole Dylan's hot dog!




Great way to keep the smoke out of your eyes Lindsey!



Yummy smores!




Daddy is pretty hilarious!



Oh my....




Cooked to perfection!




Happy to stay indoors and stay warm!



Happy Birthday to Us!


Because of a Cub Scout Pack meeting (talent show) on my birthday for Brandon, we celebrated both of our birthdays on Justin's birthday, which is only 2 days before mine. We had a whole cheesecake in the fridge because of it being left over from a baby shower I'd hosted the day before. But between that and eating more cheesecake after choir practice (which is at our house now) in the afternoon, we didn't want another bite! So we blew out candles and had some ice cream instead! :)




One year older, and hopefully a little wiser.....
