St George splash pad

Yes I know we were just on a vacation and here we are on another one!  This time we went with my family but Bryan had to leave for Germany for work so he wasn't able to come with us.  Thursday we made the long drive down to St. George.  The first place we went was the splash pad in the middle of town.  It was SO WARM! I was dying in my jeans and long sleeved shirt.  My boys were so excited to play in the water. 

 I just love this picture of my niece Kiya.  She loved the splash park!  It was perfect for her to walk around in.  Brett cried a lot when I tired to put him in.  He finally let me put his feet in when we went back before we left Saturday.

 You have no idea how much progress this was to get his feet in the water and him not crying.

There was a carousal nearby and I told the older three boys on it. I figured Brett didn't care enough to get him on it.  The other boys loved it though.

Blake especially liked that this is where part of one of the piano guys songs was shot.

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.
