All Dressed Up

Finally NICE weather for a minute anyway....... I have been waiting for it to warm up so I could take some pics of my kids outside in their Easter outfits. So I made them get all dressed up on a Saturday (I know the nerve) and we attempted to get some pictures. Lets just say taking pictures with a very mobile 2 year old can prove challenging. And apparently I was so worried about getting them to hold still I totally set my camera up wrong. UGGHHHH! Anyway all that being said I think they turned out OK. Enjoy~

Please note Aidan sticking his tongue out at me.....he would get it if he weren't so darn cute!

The classic "squished up face" I get every time I point my camera his direction. What a goober!

Please notice the aggravated look Avery is getting with me she was about 1 second away from freaking out and the next picture proves it!

This was probably the most calm moment of the whole shoot. They were off to look at the 4 deer in the back of this orchard. All in all it was an okay night, I had to bribe them with food and if my mother in law hadn't been there to chase down Aidan I would have never made it. Good times!

Old School

Do you remember when you were little doing Silhouettes in school when your mom or teacher would shine a flash light on the wall and trace your Silhouette? I always remembering it was so cool. A few years go when we took our girls to Disney Land there was a lady in a shop that cut out their Silhouettes free hand it was amazing. I have loved that picture so much and thought it was time we included Aidan into the mix. So the other day we were just goofing around with my camera and we took these. I think they are beyond adorable to see their little profiles and features. ENJOY~

Stuff.

I thought I would take some time and upload just a whole bunch of randomness....none of this is in any type of an order but it is a brief snapshot of things we have been up to lately. We have been super busy and in the last month have really come to appreciate our family and the moments that bring us together. Enjoy~

My cute little guy turned 2 as you know from a previous post. We only had time for cupcakes this year but he loved every sticky minute of them.

We made the voyage to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point with some of my nieces and nephews while they were here from out of town. We had a lot of fun digging in the sand and just being together.

The post before this is of some beautiful flowers, this is what happened the day after on April fools day. Mother Nature is so funny!

Alyssa had the opportunity to perform in Grantsville's Children's Sociable. Pretty much it is a talent show on steroids. If you are not from Grantsville you will never appreciate the craziness that comes along during March in this town. I not being a Grantsville native didn't know what I was in store with this whole thing. It is crazy and a lot of fun and if you ever get the chance you should come to this 126 year old time honored tradition.


Ron's little sister Kayla has 2 of the most adorable baby boys. We were lucky enough to be able to steal them for the night and give her a much needed break. It was a lot of fun but makes me realize my baby days are behind me! My girls had a great time with them Alyssa loved Easton and Avery loved Hunter I pretty much just stood around and supervised.

For my birthday my next door neighbor "becca" as Aidan calls her made me this HUGE cupcake. The kids loved it and it was pretty darn tasty if I do say so myself.

This is just a RANDOM picture of what happens when I am not looking! Poor Kid!!!

Spring?

Just 2 days ago I was out side and took these pictures of the beautiful daffodils. I was so excited to see spring! And than the very next day it SNOWED! I hope these can keep you warm until spring returns. Enjoy~

Sunglasses

Today after school I caught these too playing so good together and all they had was this one red pair of sunglasses. It doesn't take much to keep these two happy.

Please note the "binki" I took Aidans "ba, ba" away finally but he refuses to give up the nipple part. Every where I go I feel like a little mouse is shadowing me. All day long I hear "squeak, squeak, squeak." Ron hates it. I think it is adorable!

Happy Birthday AIDAN!!

March 3 my baby turned 2 years old. My mom has always asked me if I could believe that they were already 6 or 9 and I always could with my girls. But I cannot believe it has been 2 years since this perfect little boy has come to our family. He brings so much peace to our home and havoc all at the same time. His sisters would do anything for him. He loves: "Hoop" (basketball) speaks in sounds for example instead of calling the a cat, a cat he will call it a " meow, meow" or a door a "knock, knock". He thinks that Tarzan is actually Carzan so he calls him "vroom, vroom zan" He loves to dip his food in ketchup or ranch dressing, he loves CANDY and Popsicles, he loves to pretend to play X-box with his dad and watch any sport that involves a ball. He is such a joy to have in our lives. We love you Brutus.

This is what happens when you try to take pictures before nap time. Please note the Popsicle in some of the other pictures that is the only way I could make him happy. And I LOVE that he puts his little hands up over his mouth when he cries. It is so darn CUTE!

This is the face I always get when I take pictures of him and today was no different. This is his
"Cheese" face.

Watch out ladies!

He got these for his birthday and calls them the "boom boom" usually he will strip down to his diaper when drumming and say "I'm hot".

YES! He still has a "ba,ba" It is going I promise. I just can't tell him no.

If there were sound in this picture he was saying "hut, hut"

He loves giving Kissie faces, again Watch out Ladies.

Our Little Chef

This year Alyssa asked if we would enroll her in some cooking classes. So after a little searching I found The Young Chefs Academy located in Draper, UT. For those of you who know where we live this can be a journey especially since they offer the class at 6 at night and we have to drive on I15 in 5 o'clock traffic to get there it takes almost an hour and a half to get there. But she loves it! She has so much fun and the teachers their are wonderful! This particular night they made Belgian waffles with chocolate syrup and homemade whip cream it was YUMMY! They even have classes for adults. I totally recommend it! Enjoy~
