Easter

So I'm a little behind, but we will get caught up now. Easter was great! The girls got their big surprise for Easter the day before so they could actually enjoy it. Since none of them have spring/early summer birthdays we figured bikes would be a good Easter thing. They all got helmets and then "W" got a new (to her) bike, "E" got the old bike with training wheels put back on and new streamers and then "R"got the tricycle. They were excited! On Easter morning they got matching skirts. Grandma and Grandpa came over for dinner as well, so it was a great day! Oh, we also dyed eggs on Saturday too!

By any other name.....WORK!

It has almost been 1 year since we bought or house! That means last year we didn't have to go through the pain staking work of pruning all of the ROSES! So, our last week or so has been spent outside (which I'm not complaining about), but also has been spent pruning roses, and we are only like half way done with them. We will definitely be saying goodbye to some of them, and probably to more next year. I do like having some, but holy cow there are more than 30 of them out there. Here is a pic of my big helpers! If they are willing, lets use 'em, right? ;)

Door decor

We love decorating for holidays, but don't really have a budget for it and I don't really plan ahead. This was my split second idea for the door and I really like it! I can change it out with the seasons easily too. I just taped everything on the back.
The girls helped me out with the rest of the door. ;)

L boy

This boy is 8 months old, I just can't believe it! Isn't he the most handsome thing!?

Gymnastics!

So, since I had to do this post on the computer, it has taken me a few days to get around to doing it! Last Friday we went to BYU's last Gymnastic meet. We had lots of fun! The girls, and even the boys, loved it. Here's a few pics from the night! 

Blog Updates!

So, I've decided to be a little more protective of our blog. I have had it unsearchable, supposedly and what not, and have only given the address to family and friends, but I can see that others I definitely don't know have still managed to look at it nonetheless. I am totally ok with you guys sharing my blog with others, but I have still decided to keep the kids names off of it for now, just using their initial. You should all know them anywho. :) Anyways, just one less thing for me to worry about with my precious kids, you can never be too safe. Thanks, I hope I don't bore you guys to death, if anyone is even reading! Pretty soon "L" will be crawling and other exciting outdoor things now that Spring is in the air!

Happy Valentines Day!

Valentine's Day around here was pretty good. First of all the girls woke up to a table full of treats from a daddy who loves them and spoils them. They each got candy galore, a cupcake, and a rose. They were very excited to get REAL roses. "W" got to hand out Valentines and get a bunch from school and "E" had a little preschool party with her co-op preschool kids from the neighborhood. They had fun. We ended with a cheese fondue dinner, which none of the kids would touch, of course, until I brought out the chocolate fondue. :) We'll have to de-sugar them soon, but I think they enjoyed it all. Here's some random pics from the day!

Science Fair!

"W" had her science fair today! She did a great job telling the judge and her whole class what she did for her project. We baked cakes on Saturday and took eggs out of one and baking powder out of one. The one without baking powder was actually the highest! Yeah, so we still need to figure out why, but it was fun and she did most of it herself! Hopefully pics are not in too random of an order.

Character Counts

We got invited to a school assembly today because "W" was awarded a 'Character Counts' Award. Specifically in being 'articulate'. She was scared to walk up in front of everyone, even tho she wasn't the only one, but she did it. Only in kindergarten and doing awesome! She also will be doing a project for the science fair next week so stay tuned for that post. I honestly tried to talk her out of it since it is definitely not required for kindergarten, but she insisted.
We also registered "E" for kindergarten for next year! They are both very excited for her to join "W" in school. Fun fun!

Snow sculptures

So it was nice and warm out today, so the 2 older girls wanted to play outside during naptime. I filled some spray bottles with colored water for them to spray the snow and then they wanted my help building a few things. I don't know what order the pictures will show up, but there is a crocodile, a cat, a penguin and a dolphin sort of thing. ;) We had fun tho!
