A nice warm summer day.

Wow it was actually like 80 degrees in the middle of April. We had gotten the kids some squirt guns for Easter and they were begging us to use them so we finally gave in. It was so much fun to watch and play with them. The squirt guns are awesome too. I don't have to worry about them asking me to fill them up every time that they empty them. They can do it themselves. Hopefully it will warm up again so we can have more fun.

Easter weekend

Conner Easter morning





My mom's super yummy cupcakes. Ella loved them.

Easter weekend we decided to go to my Mom and Dad's house. We had so much fun there and the kids always love going there. Of course Tyson gets to play video games non stop. Conner was all over the place since he started scooting on his belly. Eric and Ella were just glad to be at Grandma and Grandpa's house. They took us to watch How To Train Your Dragon. They loved it!! Of course it snowed and was freezing so we decided to do all the easter egg hunts inside the house. Easter morning we hadn't hidden the eggs yet cause we were going to hide them downstairs so we sent the kids upstairs to look at their easter baskets while Jeb and my Dad hid the easter eggs. Tyson came out into the kitchen and saw the egg carton was empty and said, "That was just full of eggs the Easter bunny was really fast." We had a ton of fun and enjoyed spending the time with my family.

I love having birthdays!

So yesterday was my birthday! It was super fun although it is on April Fools I still enjoy it. This year was the first year that I let Jeb play jokes on me. He took Tyson to work with him so they could spend the day together. I got up to help Eric and Ella feed the dog and I was filling up the pitcher of water for them to take out there and all of a sudden there was water every where. Jeb had put an elastic band around the hand sprayer on the sink. I got wet, Eric was to the side of me and completely got soaked and the kitchen floor was one big puddle. I will get him back eventually. Then I had told him about a friend of mine that baked me a cake one year and had put gummy worms in it. Apparently he thought it was a good idea cause he got me an ice cream cake and had the guys making it put gummy worms in it. He tried to have me cut it, but I massacred it. I told him he could play funny jokes not mean ones so now he is taking full advantage of it. Despite his jokes I had a really fun birthday!

Conner turned 9 months yesterday too. I can't believe how big this little guy is getting. The doctor asked me if I had any questions and I asked if there was any way we could stunt his growth so he could be little forever. He is such a sweetheart. He always has such big smile for all of us and his moving way too much. We love him and our glad that he is ours.

Conner is 7 months old!

Wow how time flies. Conner is almost eight months old now. He is doing so good. He just barely started sitting up. He is starting to move around. Not quite crawling, but I'll post a video of it when I get one. It is so funny to watch. He is so much fun and loves to just babble. I love to watch him smile, but he smiles even bigger for his brothers and sister. They just absolutely adore him.

Catching up!!!!

So I haven't really posted anything since Christmas. We really haven't done much. Just hanging out. Although we did paint and redecorate our living room. Tyson is in scouts and loves it. Eric loves school and his friends. Ella wants so badly to go to school. Conner just learned how to sit and is learning how to get around, not quite crawling. He's kind of funny to watch.

Christmas!!!!

Wow we were really spoiled this year. We had such a great Christmas together. Ella was the first one up and she woke her brothers up. Jeb and I attempted to stay in bed for a while, but I think that we were just as excited for Christmas morning as the kids were. We relaxed all day and stayed in our jammies all day long too it was so fun. I love just to sit back and watch the kids and all their excitement. After they opened their presents they sat and showed each other what they got. I truly felt blessed Christmas morning for all that Jeb and I have been given by our Heavenly Father.

Conner wide awake for all the excitement

Eric was super excited can you tell?

The day after Christmas we went and spent it with my Mom and Dad. The kids are at just the perfect age where it is so much fun going to Grandma and Grandpa's house. They ask on a weekly basis if we can go see all of them. I just wished we lived a little closer to my parents to go more often.


Eric always has a huge smile on his face.

Ella absolutely loves this doll she takes it everywhere with her.

Grandpa and Conner.

Chrismas Eve

So on Christmas Eve we spent it with Jeb's family. We visited, ate, opened presents and played games. It was a ton of fun. The kids especially had a ton of fun with their cousins. We played a way fun game called Curses. I just watched, but man I laughed so hard at the rest of them.
