Random Spring Moments

 Spring sports begin!  Luckily, we are enjoying the fun times with our friends and family!

 Taylor and Jaxson having fun together.  I love this picture!

 Cutting off the stringy baby hair from Alyssa.  She LOVES her new shag!

 Baby girl gave daddy her winter hat....and laughed when he wore it.  Time for pictures!

 This is how I found Jaxson and Alyssa sleeping one Saturday morning.  

Ohhhh, my heart.....

Spring Days!

One day after school, the kids decided it was warm enough to get their swimming suits on and bask in the sun!

They were so adorable, I had to snap some pictures:

Pinewood Derby 2012

 With Jaxson new to scouts, we were excited to learn that one of his first experiences would be the Pinewood Derby!  And it didn't disappoint.  Jaxson and Dave worked and worked on their model.  They loved sanding it and choosing the colors.  Jaxson was so involved and that excited Dave to pieces.

We didn't place but that didn't seem to matter.  Jaxson was so proud of his car. Here's our boy!

 Dave wanted in this picture because it was a co-effort!

Proud dad!

Three....and still won't potty-train

 Me:  Alyssa, let's put on those new undies mommy bought you!

Alyssa:  No mom.  I want my diaper.  I don't like undies.

Me:  But Alyssa, they are soooo cute!  And you will be a big girl.

Alyssa:  No mom.  I don't wanna be a big girl.  I'm a baby.

Me:  (sigh) 

Taylor turns 11/ Baseball Fever Begins

 BASEBALL FEVER

It has begun.  Baseball Fever.  And we love it!

Austin has been so excited to play again.  Even better, Brigham, Rees, JJ and Cade are all on the same team so conversation at the games is really fun!

 Uncle Steve and Aunt Cheri came to watch Austin play along with his biggest fans: Poppie and Grandma Barbie who come support the kids in everything. 

 Taylor and Stacy enjoyed snowcones at the game.  Sugar City...

Taylor Jae turns 11- where is the time going?

 Can it be that 11 years ago, we welcomed our little squealing darlin' into our home?  She is becoming the most lovely person!  We are so blessed to call her our daughter and love her to death.

 Poppie enjoyed watching the girls play in our backyard.

 Taylor loved her chocolate and whipped cream cake with pudding!  The kids sang so cute for her birthday.

 One fun idea that the girls had was to have Taylor cover her eyes and try to guess who was saying, "Happy Birthday" in a strange voice.  We laughed and laughed at each girl's hysterical, mysterious voice.

And....Taylor guessed most of them correctly the first time!

 Besties:  Ashlyn, Taylor and Stacie

 The girls dressed up Austin so he would fit in with the performers. He is so adorable.

 We made microphone cupcakes as a craft.  The girls loved these.

And there were painted nails too.......

At the end of the evening, Taylor informed me that it was the best birthday ever!  I was so happy for her excitement.  She is the greatest girl.  Happy Birthday Taylor!
