SPRING BREAK

Last week was Spring Break. I tried to do something fun with the kids every day. It was a lot of work with four kids.

On Monday I took the kids with their great cousins, Bryton and Cameron, to the discovery park for a picnic. The kids had fun but I was worn out by the time we got home.




On Monday night we went to Chuck E. Cheese for their cousin Brady's 3rd B-Day party. The kids love to go there. The boys also went to Chuck E. Cheese on Tuesday for lunch with their friends.




On Wednesday we went up to Salt Lake and went out to lunch with Ryan and fam. The kids had a lot of fun.




On Thursday I was worn out so I took the kids to the Dollar Store to choose toys to play with on our ride to St. George. Sorry, I didn't take pictures

On Friday we went to St. George with my mom (Grandma) and my brother and sister and their kids. It was a lot of fun. We did a lot of swimming and had fun hanging out with fam.

Gabriel's 7th Birthday

Gabe's seventh birthday was yesterday, Sunday April 6th. We had his favorite cupcakes with his cousins and opened presents.

Gabe got some fun presents from his fam.



Today, Monday, April 7th, Gabe had his friend birthday party. We went bowling with ten of his friends. His wonderful Dad and cousin Aislynne came and helped.



All the kids seemed to have a lot of fun bowling. Ryan was wonderful setting everything up and cheeing everyone on.



Aislynne helped Sterling with bowling. She had to bowl herself too. She is just the best cousin!

Camping in Moab

Ryan took Gabe and Sterling camping in Moab this weekend. They had a lot of fun. Gabe's favorite part was hiking in the Fiery Furnace at Arches with Dad.

Asher had his two month well visit yesterday and is doing just great. He now weighs 11 lbs. 9 oz. He is 25% in weight, 75% in height, and 50% in size of head. All my boys have been on the taller side and on the skinnier side. They still have cute chub though.



The poor little guy had five shots and also had to drink an immunization. I hate him having all that in his little body. He felt fine afterward though.



Last week Ryan was swinging Alicia and her arm popped. It hurt her pretty bad so the doctor put a splint on it. She thought is was funny wearing Gabe's shirts because hers wouldn't fit over her arm splint. Her arm is all better now though.



Alicia also had the flu last week and was just miserable. She wanted me to hold her all the time, poor little thing.



Sterling lost his first tooth. We just noticed this morning so we're thinking he might have swallowed it. He's pumped and ready for the tooth fairy to come tonight.



I took Sterling and his best friend, Tanner, to the park last week. They had a blast. Sterling and Tanner are just the cutest friends.



Gabe's favorite thing right now are his pokemon cards. He wanted me to take a picture of him with them. He's so funny.

Happy Easter!!!

Yesterday we went to the city Easter Egg hunt. The kids had fun and they were able to see the Easter Bunny!



Don't they look adorable all dressed up on Easter Sunday! They didn't let me take very many pictures of them all together. Why can't they share some of their energy with me!!!



Asher got a cute little blue bunny for Easter! He wasn't really into it so I had to try hard to get him to hold onto it.



Alicia thought her new pink sunglasses were cool! She is full of personality I tell ya! The boys had to dig through her basket to find their eggs she found before they did.



Sterling had fun finding eggs and treats! He is my sweet happy little guy who is so much fun to be around.



Gabe thought it was fun too! He was way into his set of Junie B. Jones books he found. He loves to read and thinks it's really cool that he can read chapter books.
