Disclaimer: I have made this blog for the intent to show loved ones what we've been up to lately. I also want to one day print it out and have it as a journal for the kids. I am not doing this to brag at all. I just thought this is a great way for you all to see what life's been like for us and what we've been doing. I love to see other people's blogs and see their pictures and see what they've been up to. That's all I'm doing here. Thank you!

Easter 2012 in St. George

We decided to head down to St. George for Easter. We had a good time with every minute planned out. This picture was taken by Spencer when we first got there. Isn't it such a good picture of his Papa.
These little 2 were so fun. They are only 3 months apart and are both walking around. It's so fun to watch them interact. Lucas looks huge compared to Brooklynn, she is so tiny.

Sweet Tessa girl enjoying the beautiful outdoors.
We had a Easter egg hunt for the kids and it was so fun. This is Lucas finding his 2. He held on to these the rest of the day.

Brookie is such a sweetheart. She is a spitting image of her older sister, Brenna. I couldn't believe it when I saw her. It's like a carbon copy. So cute!!!
Another picture of beautiful Tessa. I didn't get any of Brenna, I don't know how that happened.
Amy and Colton
Spencer wouldn't stand still so I could get a good picture, so this is all I got of him hunting for eggs. He kept saying the whole time, "Come on, mom, I gotta get more eggs".
McKenna on her search for eggs.
Kelsey wearing the same outfit she wore last year.
Caden striking a pose for me.
Lincoln with his loot.
I love this picture of Brooklynn. She is looking up at her daddy.
The boys after they found their treasures from the Easter Bunny.
Lucas wering his hat from the Easter bunny.
We took some pictures of the boys after church. They turned out pretty good. I can't believe their hair is still in place. That's a miracle.

"Here cousin, I found this on the floor....you can have it".
A picture of all the cousins together.
I love how much these 2 look alike. If you look closely, they have the exact same mouth. So cute!!!
Prenny and Brookie with me and Lukie. Prenny looks so good!!!!
The kids watching "Hop" before bed.
Alisa had a suprise when we got back home. She had these cute stuffed animals for each boy and then she had put together a Easter egg hunt with puzzle pieces in each. It was so fun for them to find them all and put together the puzzle and flip it over for a sweet message. They absolutely adore their Aunt Alisa!!! Thank you Alisa for that sweet present for them. They loved it!!!!

Baseball practice

Lincoln and Spencer have both been signed up for baseball. They have had some practices and really enjoy it. I can't wait to see them in an actual game. It will be fun to watch. So here are some pictures of their practices.






These boys love to snuggle up together and watch shows on the IPad. It's so cute.

Geneal Conference and City Creek Center

The boys had a good time watching conference and coloring. It was fun for them to watch carefully so they can color the ties that go along with the general authority. I also joined in on the fun.
Lincoln showing me the pencil he was using.
Our finished products for the Sat. afternoon session.
Lincoln, Spencer and Mom's hands. Lucas was taking a nap.

I thought this was so cute so I grabbed the camera.
Yes, we were among the thousands who decided to go downtown and check out the new mall on opening weekend. It was crazy and the lines that formed to go into each store made us just walk around, but it was still fun. The boys loved to watch the fountain shows.
Can you see the craziness of people. It was like disneyland without the fun rides.
Here's Luke watching the show.

The boys had a blast watching the live statues. Lincoln kept watching her, he didn't want to miss her move.

The boys right outside the food court.
We will go again when it's not so busy so we can check out some of the stores, but we did have a great time and as a bonus, Alisa came over and joined us after the temple and then the greatest thing happened.........she took them off our hands for the night. At least the two oldest. It was such a great treat........ you know, for the boys. Thank you Alisa, you are a lifesaver!!!! The boys absolutely adore you!!!

More fun

So this is what happens when you put a little boy in the bathroom in time out at night and then forget he's in there. Oops!! He was talking up a storm when he was supposed to be going to sleep and we put him in there on the stool. This is how we found him.....a while later.
My March projects that got done on time.....for once.



This was the day before Spring. The last snowfall, so we decided to make the most of it. It started with Lincoln, Lucas and I making a snowman and then Spencer came back from the store with his dad and wanted to make a second one. By that time, there was barely snow left, but we gotter done. As you can see they are a little dirty because we had just aerated the lawn the day before.



Lincoln and Lucas all ready to pitch in.
Lucas loved the feel of the snow.
Lincoln all suited up in way too small of clothes.


Please forgive the mess, but I thought this was a cute picture of Lucas watching Spencer play on the computer.
