March Moments

Happy Palm Sunday!  This was one of the last Sundays we were stuck being in the lobby during Sacrament meeting because we were late.  We've finally figured out what time to set the alarm clock for and it helps so much N loves nursery and is so excited to get her own shoes on for us.  Since so many of our neighbors were going to be out of town for Easter Sunday (including us) we had our annual Easter egg hunt in the pocket park on Palm Sunday this year.  A wonderful time was had by all and my children were so grateful they didn't have to miss it after all.  I apologize I didn't get great pictures.

These two sisters.  It is so fun to see them wearing matching outfits K and M used to wear together.  I just love the smile N is giving M in this picture.  It should be interesting to see how N gets used to having M also go to school every day like K and D do next year.  I hope she doesn't get bored!

This is perfection right here.  N at her friend's birthday party, sitting in a Cozy Coupe watching her favorite movie while holding onto a balloon directly before eating cupcakes.  Life is certainly good sometimes.
Sledding by the house means maneuvering a ditch going back and forth from the hill.  One of the perks of a Waldorf preschool is that M can climb around like a champion now.  I'm so happy about all the progress her gross motor skills have made this year.
In February we were so sad to see there wasn't a Valentine's Day dance announced by the stake.  So when we heard it had been moved to March this year we were so excited to go.  I was still super tired from being sick but there was no way I was going to miss one of the best dates of the year!
K and M have been enjoying their dance class at the M. family's house and I have enjoyed watching them pick out all sorts of different outfits that still match.
Park day!  I love how our state manages to give us nice weather breaks right when we need them.
Poor K was sick this night and had to stay home with dad and the baby, but D, M, and I had a wonderful time watching Emma play the role of Maria in the Sound of Music for her high school musical.  We have known her since before K was born and still have a onsie she decorated when she heard that K was coming into our family soon.  Emma did a fantastic job and the children really fell in love with the musical.  They had never seen the Nazi part before so they were a bit confused.  lol.
Home improvement:  adding color!  D spent a Saturday doing this for me and I am so grateful to have a color other than tan somewhere on the main floor of my house!  Thanks, hon!  Looks just like I hired a professional.
I just love my St. Patrick's Day family.  Mrs. C. totally convinced K last year and D this year that leprechauns totally exist and it was so fun to see M delight in helping D with his leprechaun trap.  I have a cute video of D telling me that if he caught a leprechaun he would "ask for a brother, fireworks, and a spider man costume that I can shoot webs and I can stick to the ceiling."  Gotta love this holiday!

Happy 250th Birthday

Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
