Five Dozen

Yes that is right we dyed 5 dozen eyes. Normally when we do something fun, traditional and I am going to take photos I make the kids get dressed. Well not this year, but they had a great time. We ate deviled eggs, egg salad, plain hard boiled egg... thank you Costco for a great deal on a 5 dozen flat of eggs!

I love Harrisons funny faces! You can't help but smile when you are around him.

This child likes vinegar. In the previous year he would lick the egg, this year he just smells them.

Preston is very proud of his eggs.

I wanted a polka dot egg but it didn't turn out very well.

Preston wanted to use a crayola before putting it in the dye. That's what they did at school.

Harrison has his bases covered!

Just getting started.

Is She Really Our Child?

She doesn't like to eat solid food but we are trying. Maybe she just wants to by pass the baby food and head right to Cheerios!

4 Month Stats

15 pounds

26 inches

and growing...Surprisingly this is my first child not to be off the charts he is actually only in the 80% and as cute as can be especially when she smiles.

What would I Do....

If I did not have this cool new bouncer/saucer for Emma. She will sit in it for soooo long about 45 minutes or so. Which in baby world is a long time, its the perfect amount of time to get the boys breakfast and get a shower in the morning. We usually chant go..go..go..go and she smiles and bounces all over the place. It is the ultimate form of entertainment for our little Emma. I know she is in backwards...she likes to suck on the seat!

Twice a Week Love

We love the Tumble Center! The boys enjoy the staff, the energy and the fun that comes from our Monday and Thursday afternoons. Here are a few shots of them at the gym. I love mid-air photos!

Just a Little Golf

The boys really enjoyed golf lessons and hope to do it again real soon. Jeremy

will be taking them to the range every now and then for a little fun!

Do They Know & Will They Remember

The question of the hour. As the weeks seems to get busier and busier I wonder what I do it all for? Why do I spend hours in the classroom during spring break, drive them to 2 gym, soccer and golf practices, spend an evening at the park, plan a trip to pick over priced strawberries just to have it canceled because of rain, make 3 batches of homemade rolled sugar cookies to decorate and a vat of frosting to go with, boil 5 dozen eggs to dye, host movie night with friends, plan a birthday party, go to a birthday party, lets not forget craft Thursday which I have nothing for and have to go to Michaels to restock and then round the week off with a trip to Disneyland. Did I mention I do all this while caring for an adorable infant and work part time at a job I love! Seriously this is what my Monday through Fridays look like. Its not just this week its every week.....I actually do better staying busy.

Do the boys appreciate what I do for them? Will they remember all that I do and teach them? Will they do the same for their kids? Do they realize that I do so much for them and stay up until way to late cleaning up the day and preparing for the next because I love them?

This is what I hope for them
KNOW I love to watch them play and laugh,
gain skills and passions for hobbies,
socialize and get along with all types of kids and authority figures,
know the importance of friendships
KNOW that I have a love of serving others,
learn to work hard
KNOW that I love our Savior and the gospel
but most of all is that I Love them with everything I have!
