Garage shelves

The week or so before Easter Bryan's dad helped us put some really nice shelves in our garage.  Bryan is 6'4 so you can imagine how tall they are.  His brothers came to help the Friday of Easter weekend and we were able to get them all done.  

 Easter Sunday a lot of the kids went with Grandpa to feed his horse.  I loved how it looked with them all walking through the field.

 Bryan's already filled his shelves up.  His has his junk places I have mine I guess. I does look a lot better then it did though!
 Ty drew me this.  I love him.  =)

 Poor Laycee with hear heart condition can't run for very long so Bryan tired to hold her for a little bit of a soccer game the men had with the kids. Her little body just can't keep up with her spirit.

 Fast forward a week and the men went to priesthood session together.  I had to get my after priesthood picture.  It's been awhile since Bryan has been able to go now  he isn't working Saturdays anymore so he was happy to be with his family.




Easter Weekend

We had our annual Easter egg hunt with Bryan's family- 


 Stockton was so funny- he just ran and ran without really picked anything up.  Lucky for him my older nephews helped him out with filling his bucket up with treats.  Blake and Ty really didn't want to pose for pictures.  They were too busy finding candy.  We spent the whole day there and my kids had so much fun playing with their cousins.
 The Easter bunny came to our house!  This year he just hid their baskets around the house.


Stockton and Blake got star wars masks.  

Bryan's annual Easter picture with his boys.  I don't care as long as he lets me take his picture without complaining.


Stockton looks SO MUCH like Bryan when he was a kid in this picture.
Stock wanted the light saber under Ty's legs.
I couldn't get him to let me take his picture unless he was holding the light saber.  It's kind of like Bryan with his shot gun.

The easter bunny brought Ty epic mickey.  

 This is out of order but Tyson left the easter bunny lettuce.  He felt like if Santa gets cookies the easter bunny should get a treat too.


I love that my boys are starting to really like to do things like color easter eggs.  I've tried to get this tradition going for years and they are finally old enough to want to do it.

St. Pattys day etc.

We got our tramp set up! It's snowed on it a couple of times since then but in the few pockets of warm days we have used it a lot.  Especially Stockton! He stands at the window and asks to go on the tramp all the time.  My brother was in town for a wedding that day so he he helped us put it up. 



 The leprechaun sneaked in and left green candy in the boys shoes again.  They love running around the house trying to find their shoes. I love how Blake is standing in that picture.
 Church was on St. Patricks day and we made sure to be all in green.  I wasn't and my boys kept pinching me so much I hurried and found a green shirt.

Stockton found my mascara in my bag and put it on his face.  He was covered!  I was really lucky he only drew on his face and it came right off.  He thought it was lip stick.  I'm telling you the kid is crazy.   He had eaten fertilizer the day before too and we had to call poison control. He must have not had a lot because he was ok.  Seriously- what am I going to do with this kid?

 I live in a beautiful place.  I love cache valley.



Stockton woke up with his ear looking like this on March 22nd.  He has ear tubes and they were draining.  I had no idea that they did that because Ty's never did.  It was SO GROSS! I ended up taking him into the ENT and they sucked out all the gunk and put some drops in it.  We have been putting a lot of drops in there since.  He was so upset about it.  He hates to have his ears bothered.  We had to hold him down when we do his drops and he is like a wild cat.  He has finally figured out if he just lays on his side I wont hold him down and it's gotten better.  

My little Brett is 11 months old.  He really likes being outside but he just eats the grass and leaves.  If it's something he can pick up it's going to be in his mouth.

March with the Palmers

I'm so behind! Here we go for March! Disneyland was the first part of March.  Here is after that-
 March 11- I didn't take pictures for a few days after Disney.  I guess I was in detox.  Here is a pic of Brett a few days after we got back.
 March 12th was such a beautiful day! We were spoiled with some early spring weather!  Stockton started going down the slide for the first time ever.  Now he is scared of it and he wont go down.
 It was so nice in fact I decided to brave it and walk to the elementary school where Blake needed to do his Kindergarden registration.  We had to wait forever! And the little boys were left in the double stroller much longer then they wanted to but it was done.  We pulled ty out of class 20 minutes early so we didn't have to wait for him to get out of school.  Blake did really good with his little test they gave him!  It makes me really sad he is going to school next year.  I love having him home with me.



The 13th we spent a lot of time outside. We have been dying to get outside forever!  Stockton bolts whenever the doors open.  I'm going to have a hard summer chasing after him.  Blake holding Brett above.  
 Went to pick up something from a friend on the 14th and I saw this in front of her house.  My other friend Sheri wanted to try to persuade the dog lovers in the neighborhood to slow down as they drove.  I guess they have some speedy neighbors that love dogs.  Totally cracked me up.
 Found this hat at Kohls on the 15th and Stock walked around the store in it making the vader breathing noise.
 On the 16th my Brother and his family came into town for a couple of wedding receptions. One was for my cousin Reggie and right after that was for my neighbor growing up in Nampa Idaho Crystal Emery.  We was really good friends with me when we were little especially.  I was lucky she got married in Logan so I could go to her reception!
 Kiya caught the bouquet- she was a little upset with the attention.  She beat out like 15 girls standing in front of her and Nate was holding her up in the air and got a bouquet to the face.  I hope for the other girls sake that she isn't the next to get married or they will have to wait a long time!
On the 16th I caught Brett sleeping like this: I love his little sweet face and lips puckered out like that.
