Happy Campers and Promises!

The past few weeks have been a little extra busy for me and as a result I have neglected my blog. Last week was Spring Break. Monday was 80 degrees with a light breeze, very beautiful day. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday was rainy and cold. Spring weather around here is crazy. On Friday I took the kids out to Willow Park during the day and John came later that night. We stayed with Papa and Nana (John's parents). It was fun, but just completely crazy with some ornery kids. Starting with Ryann and Emmie, they were fighting over everything - rocks, sticks, Jason (there was an episode when Emmie was in tears over Ryann pushing Jason in the baby swing), bikes, strollers, treats, you name it they fought over it. These two have a bad history together too. Emmie once almost cut off Ryann's finger which resulted in two surgeries, but for the most part they play good - except when we went camping to Willow Park. Good thing that we only had to drive to the other end of town. Madelyn and Will were wonderful. They rode their bikes all over and played at the playground together.
This is Ryann trying to smooth things over with Emmie, who of course is not giving in.

Will and Madds are the best of buds.

Emmie is showing Papa her PINK bandaid and Papa is emphasizing very good with her .

Two Saturdays ago John and I took the kids up to the Children's Museum at the Gateway in Salt Lake. It is a little pricey, but a lot of fun. I promised Will when he was in the hospital at the first of March that we would go to the Gateway if he got his IV. He did and we had to live up to our promise. We are just so blessed that Will is doing good and is healthy.

Will get so excited when hid dad can come with us on outings. It is so much more fun when Dad comes and easier.

This is Emmie playing at the beehive. You have to put balls inside pipes so that the beehive will always be working.

This is Jason sitting in a chair in the little people land. I can't remember what it is called put there is a whole city where every thing is little. Little houses, little construction site, a little grocery store, a little bird house, a little farm, ect. The kids love it. And again as the photographer there are not pictures of me.

FYI Jason and Will both got hair cuts. They still are cute as can be. Jason can almost roll over. He gets his hip over and he just is content not rolling his shoulder over. As my mom would say, "he's happy as a lark!"

4 months old!

Jason will be 4 months old on the 13th of April. Later today we go to the doctor for his check up and I will post his weight and measurements. I found this picture of Will when he was 4 months old too. We don't have a working scanner so I just took a picture of the picture so it not the best, but you can see the point - Will and Jason look very much alike. Jason just has this wild Jimmy-Neutron-like hair. Both are cute as a button.

Emmie with stickers

During conference (Elder Ballard's talk was awesome) Emmie decided to put Mickey Mouse stickers all over herself and then she thought that Jason needed some on his head. Jason was quite enjoying all of the attention, so I let Emmie finish her sicker creation.

Picture of Will

I took this picture of Will on Sunday at a family baby blessing. I posted it so that my mom could see it, I really think that she will love it. With digital cameras I often forget to get actual pictures printed off. Will wants to grow his hair long so that he can have a pony tail. What he doesn't know yet is that in the summer all of his hair will be gone.

Region Winners!

Our stake RS has a basketball team and we won the Lehi Region Tournament. Playing basketball has brought be back to feeling like I have no responsibilities for the moment, yes simliar to high school. Every Wednesday night we play at the stake center. Sometimes the kids are asleep or are on their way to bed for the night when I leave. It is just wonderful to play.

And, yes I am the dork with the wrong jersey on (it was the other team's jersey), don't ask me how I got it.
