April 2014

So i am ALMOST caught up!! wahoo! here are our pictures from April. Andrew turned 7, Dan & I celebrated our 10th Anniversary and we had a visit from Grandma & Grandpa Hall from Alaska, and tom & michelle from Meridian ID, and mary & brad were here, so we had a little reunion and great time!

we found out andrew & abby both need tonsils out! happening in June...

i LOVE her snowflake!

Zoo with Mary, Leo & Jayden when he came to visit for a day

she's so good to her little friends. she really is. she helps keep them safe and is so nice to them!

i think the weather app was wrong when it said we had like 12 mph winds... i think these are more like 50 mph winds...

the perks of having a brother who can read. 

at one of andrews soccer games. it was soo cold and wet.

andrews birthday. he was super excited to be in the spot light.

i had to get a picture before we drove to the park...i was very nervous about transporting them myself since i would also be driving. luckily a neighbor boy needed a ride and he helped hold them steady.

we had a few football games, and a football pinata. i think everybody had a good time, and we were lucky- a storm was coming but held off until right at 6 when the party was over:)

this was a cool park, abby did fall in that big climbing thing tho, and it scared her.... unusual for her but lately she has fallen like 3 times climbing on stuff, maybe her equilibrium is off or something...

mary had me try this, and I love it!! its soo good.

looking back, 7 years ago. when i first became a mother;)

he was also nervous about a bigger bike- he thought it might be too big at first.

we had lots of cupcakes so we didnt end up doing a regular cake. for his birthday he wanted a sleepover 2 nights at jens, and she granted his wish. it was conference weekend so she picked him up on a friday, and he came home on sunday which was the 6th. 

please mom, just one more ride?! (he had to go to school)

picnic at the Capital in SLC with mom & mary

gorgeous blossoms!

we did a little hike with the kids, it was lots of fun.

and we visited the Zoo

i love it when they get along. wish it happened more often like this!

we also went swimming at "grandpa's pool" as isabella calls the marriott where he stayed the past couple trips down here.

the sunday my parents left we visited Temple Square. it was sort of chilly and rained off & on but it was nice to visit!

isabella was so happy to see Leo!

checking out the stuff at the visitors center

Grandma, Grandpa and cousins!

Grandpa and his two buddies

isabella noticed abby had fallen asleep already so she tucked her in. 

i love how bella always clasps her hands to sleep

andrew went with dan to the utah scrimmage

leo is learning to smile for the camera!

she loves the blossoms, and they would pick a few each time we walk by some. 

he LOVES soccer. i think this was the first game of this season. he was nominated MVP just recently. GOOD JOB ANDREW!!!

first slushy of the season!

dying Easter Eggs with aunt jen, margo and Karlee

the Easter bunny came and left candy for the kiddos

andrew was so frustrating that morning. so this is what we have for an Easter picture...

i think they turned out fun:)

isabella made the bed all by herself! i was super impressed and surprised.

we all went to Literature with Loved Ones for andrews school.

She finally learned to do a back bend! i was so proud, she had been working on this for months and sort of dreaded it because it was hard and she was afraid of falling on her head. 

she loves our neighbor Kit Cat
