Jons birthday and other April fun!

My sister Heidi turned 16 on the 16th of April so we decorated her classroom at school and threw her a surprise party with some of her friends. We love you Heidi and are so proud of who you are! My beautiful and sassy bailey girl! Backyard shenanigans Gilbert Splash pad with our best friends Shaley and Lucy These three sweet kids love making me pretend food from their play house and I love it! Jons Birthday festivities. First we went to a spinato's pizzeria with my parents for Jon's birthday lunch. We also celebrated by making him one of his favorites, angel food cake with lemon creme icing and strawberries. Later Jon and I went to the cheesecake factory and enjoyed a delicious meal with yummy cheesecake for dessert ( another one of Jons favorites ). The best part is we got to enjoy the meal kid free no distractions :) 31 looks good on you! We love you babe and are so grateful for you! Saying good bye to our good friends the Madsens. We will miss this great family but are excited for them to start a new chapter in their lives of PA school in Oregon. Lucy and our kids having one last dance party. Thank goodness for modern technology so that we can chat and not seem to far:) Experimenting with Wyatts naps and trying to put him down after lunch... He was not happy and fell asleep in his chair moments later. I guess we will keep the morning nap for now silly boy. Bentley got this big blow up ball for his birthday and the kids love rolling around inside it and jumping from the slide on top of it. It was a great buy because it gives them hours of fun:) Wyatt loves opening and closing any door he can get his hands on. Helping daddy replace the fire alarm batteries. We are never short of help and these kids are glad to give it. Playing in the garage trying to decide who gets to drive/ride what is always a dilemma! My sweet sleepy boy after his nap A fun family home evening we had with the kids. Jon talked about putting on the armor of god and the kids attention was on him the whole time. FHE miracle!

MARCH 2013

Eating lunch on your little picnic table Daddy daughter date! Feeding the goats at the park Cheering Aunt Heidi on at her track meet Family bike ride Puppet show with socks:) Bentley and Bailey helping me vacuum Bentley being silly Bailey giving daddy hugs! Pictures from the Lehi days Rodeo: The new dog my parents got at the rodeo. His name is Rocky! my kids love play with him. Bailey's best friend Lucy! Playing house together. Feeding the ducks at the park! Jon and I surprised Bailey with two new little bunnies since she loved them so much at the rodeo... Well she loved them... too much... so we had to give them away after about a week of having them. She was really sad but we gave her some stuffed animal bunnies and doggies and that seemed to do the trick for now. Bailey is such an animal lover! We named them Pebbles and Roxy. I was also sad to see them go but I was so overwhelmed by keeping the kids away from them all the time and cleaning up messes that I just knew that we weren't going to be able to keep them. The Zoo with my cousin Jennifer and her boys Kyle and Nolan. We lucked out and got to see lots of the animals up close! The kids had a blast and Wyatt slept most of the time so it worked out well! Wyatt loves the bouncy horse and smiles and laughs when I let him up there:) Doggy sitting Rocky and playing in boxes:) Dental convention 2013. I loved having my dad and brother Chad there with me this year! We have been having trouble getting Bailey to go to sleep at night. We have tried everything!! Finally we got sick of fighting her so we just tried ignoring her and this is what happened...she fell asleep in the kitchen on the floor. It's like she wants to fall asleep as near to us as she can because we will find her asleep on her floor by the door too! Crazy little girl but we love her! Shopping and Splash pad fun with my friend Shaley and her daughter Lucy. Wyatt loving crawling all around the park hills and of course the table at home! Family bike ride to the park to play! Daddy jogged with the stroller, while mommy rode the bike with the bike trailer:) I let them stick their feet in and of course they ended up like this. Too cold to get in all the way! Wyatt playing in the play house. One of his favorite things to do! He will stand there and open and close the door while ringing the door bell! He also likes to sit at the little table! Water slide fun at Lucy's house Riding in the jeep. It scares me to think they will be driving before I know it! Bentley loves racing this little bike around the back yard My sassy/sweet princess Some pretty lilies Jon brought me home from one day:) Bailey got to hold this cute miniature yorkie/Chihuahua puppy that we saw at the park. She threw a fit when it was time to go! Bailey and Bentley at their friend Deans fun fourth birthday pary! can you guess the theme?.... Power Rangers! Backyard fun! Wyatt always climbs up the slide this way and the other kids like to slide down and knock him over. You would think he would cry but they all usually just start laughing! Best Friends Forever. Bailey and Lucy We also got to visit a dairy farm near us! The kids had so much fun! We got to pet and feed the animals, go for a hay ride, and eat delicious homemade icecream! We went with friends also so the kids played for awhile when we were done.
