Happy Spring and Easter

I love Easter because it means spring and warm weather. But I also love Easter traditions. Growing up we always got something new for church and I have done that with my kids. We also do the annual Easter Egg Hunt, (or go find bags of candy with your sticker on it). And Garrett's family always have done an egg roll which we now do. It is really fun to roll the eggs and see which one breaks. It is amazing to me that only one egg breaks. Kennedy just hung out and played with plastic eggs. She was amazed by them.

We also went to an egg hunt at the park with our ward. It was total chaos, but the kids had a blast.

Dallin has been outside non-stop since the warm weather hit. It is perfect right now in the mid 70s. We have to take advantage of it before it gets too hot. Dallin started T-ball and wants to play every single day. This kid needs no pushing to love baseball (which makes his dad very happy). He has baseball genes coming from both sides. Dallin has organized the kids in our circle to play baseball instead of ride bikes what they usually did. He is the youngest kid out there and shows them what to do and how to do it and where to stand. It is hilarious. He can be a little bossy we're working on that. :)

Just a cute picture of Kennedy.

DALLLIN IS 4!!!!

January 28th

Dallin had a great 4th Birthday!!

It started early as our days always

do with him. We let him open some presents in the morning and the rest at night since Garrett had to work all day. We played waiting for dad to get home. Dallin helped me make his cake, he loved doing the mixer and my kitchen had proof of that.



We took Dallin to Chuck-e-Cheese that night to party. We had a great time. We were there for hours. We got extra tokens because they forgot our pizza and Garrett and I were playing skee ball and basketball so we did not stay all night. Dallin just could not leave if we still had tokens to play games.

Dallin was "a little shy of Chuck-e-Cheese" as he would say. I have no idea why so this is a very forced picture to say the least.


We finally made it home way after bedtime. To still open presents and have cake and ice cream. Dallin is very spoiled by us, his granparents and aunts and uncles. You would have seriously thought it was Christmas at our house. Garrett and I did not have to buy him anything and he would not have noticed. But he had a great birthday.

He ordered white cake with oreo frosting. That is why it is so boring. I did my best and but you can't dress that up too much. Nothing like cake and ice cream 5 minutes before bed.

This is Dallin riding his bike the next day. He thinks that 4 is the magical number and he can do everything that big people do because he is 4.

Swinging in January

We had lovely weather in Las Vegas last week. We went to the park a few times to let the kids play. We had fun and Kennedy went in the swings for the first time. She loved it. It was cute. Just thought that I would share because it was funny to watch her, she did not want to get out.

Time Flies!!!!

Kennedy is alreay 7 months old. I cannot believe how fast the time goes. Kennedy is a good baby, already very opinionated though. She LOVES to eat and it shows. To say it kindly she is a very healthy girl. She weighs about 17 1/2 pounds already. She would eat all day if I did not cut her off at some point. There is nothing she will not eat, but she does prefer what we are eating over baby food. She went through a period where she would not eat baby food. She is better now as I said she eats anything in front of her. It is weird to have a child that eats because Dallin still will not eat anything. But Dallin takes better naps than Kennedy (still) so I guess its a trade off.

Dallin really likes to be in the pictures too. So I could not leave him out. He really likes Kennedy and sometimes a little too much. If I leave the room and come back in and she is crying, I will ask him what happened and his first response is always "I think she just needs her mom". He will then go on to explain what really happened. But I rarely can take a picture of Kennedy without Dallin wanting to be in it too.

Belated Merry Christmas!!

I know that Christmas was almost a month ago, but this is the first time I have had time to update our blog since coming home from Salt Lake. Christmas already seems like it was more than a month ago. We had a great Christmas though and hope that everyone else did too.

New Pictures

I got the kids pictures taken a while ago by a friend in my ward who is a photographer. Once when Kennedy was 6 weeks and then again when she was 3 months. She was a much better picture taker at 3 months. I am just now putting them on my blog. Kennedy is now almost 6 months. The last picture was taken by me at her current age. She is not much different, maybe just a little chubbier. I love to kiss her little chubby cheeks.
