A Break in Spring


Hubby had to work the rest of spring break so the children and I had a week at home with no school and dad gone during the day.  M went to horse camp 2 days and had play dates with S. and D.  K went to the dentist and had a couple play dates with J. and got to see Beauty and the Beast in the theater with Mom & Grandma.  She really liked it!   D went to indoor soccer twice & Pokemon and Star Wars morning camps at the local gym and worked on Cub Scout stuff with Grandma.  N got us invited to another wonderful park for a play date -- Niwot Children's Park & we highly recommend it!  We also rented Moana from Redbox Monday night and loved it -- we listened to the soundtrack all spring break.


 I should have brought the selfie stick to the movie theater.  lol.
 N was thrilled to go shopping in the basement for new clothes and shoes.  She especially likes the idea of matching her baby doll.
While D and N and I went to the grocery store, K and M got in the April Fool's Day spirit on Saturday.  Turns out it take two entire rolls of Scotch tape to trap a brother.

The week was finished off with watching lots and lots of General Conference & then playing at the park as a family Sunday night and M loosing her very first tooth!  She was so excited.  Now it's back to school until the end of May!

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 ...

Danny's 1st Year Video

Exactly one year ago today we got a call from our case worker. He told us there was a birth mother thinking of placing her son with us for adoption. Usually he didn't make such phone calls before an official decision was made, but he felt that this little boy was meant for us & we needed a little warning b/c the due date was June 12. Low & behold, 4 days later he called to say Dani had chosen us to be her baby's parents. 2 weeks later, we were bringing Danny home from the hospital. It is difficult to believe Danny's birthday is only 2.5 weeks away. When I look back I feel he & I were a little gipped with me getting pregnant so soon after he was born & becoming a big brother at only 9.5 months, but he is so healthy & happy. There is no way he could have been any better of a baby... I'm convinced he is the easiest/best little guy to have ever graced the planet. We are so blessed. He is truly a joy of a boy.

No check up, but doing great!

The pediatrician thought Kaelah was doing well enough to skip her 15-month check up... but I can't resist a formal update before she turns 16-months-old tomorrow. Of course I'll put this first on the list: Kaelah said her first Chinese word last week! Bi zi for nose -- which she heard for the first time in Hawaii. Looks like I'll have to pick out word #2 soon! Kaelah is selective about the music we listen to now. She'll either say, "no" or begin dancing. We're thrilled she will now fold her arms while we pray over the food & by her crib at night. Kaelah will also say "yummmm" while eating & will give high 5's and knuckles. I think you'll pick up most of the rest from the video. (:
