My Hard-Working Hubby

I never do any posts about my extremely handsome and funny Hubby. He is a great guy. He was hard at work doing home inspections for a contractor that is being sued. The lady that was inspecting with him on the case was so proud of this shot that she emailed this picture for us to put on our blog. It is so funny because Justin tells everyone about our blog so that they can see our kids. He is a great Dad and hubby.

Easter 2011

Easter was so fun for the kids to get their new Easter clothes. I just thought they looked so cute, but of course I am their Mom.

Jayden loves his bike, so of course he decides to do his Easter Egg hunt on his bike.

He was so handsome in his blue suit.

Elise's dress was sent to her by her Nanny. Her Nanny has great taste. This pink dress was perfect for a little girl who is perfectly pink. I thought she looked so cute.

Our Easter Egg coloring turned out great. These are such fun times.

Dallin in his brown suit was quite the little man. He was so excited to wear a suit just like his Daddy. I must say I love these two little boys.

Our Fun California Adventure

We just got back from a fun trip to Discovery Kingdom in California. We fell in love with the dolphins. They were so social. They would swim up to the window and do the things that we would motion for them to do.

We also got to ride on an elephant. This was so fun, and a lot more exciting than any other ride at the amusement park.

Justin and I rode on a really scary roller coaster, and I don't think I want to do that ever again.

We topped off our trip by visiting the Jelly Belly factory. I never knew that so much work went into making a jelly bean. We found out that it takes 20 days to make a jelly bean.

I think that the thing that the kids enjoyed the most was the swimming at our hotel. We always have such a great time swimming. All of our kids are water babies.

What great times. Now we're ready to go back to school.

Fun in The Snow

We had a few snow days in February. We got to go sledding and play in the snow. I remember the feeling of the first snow from when I was a little girl. It is just so fun to wake up in the morning and see your lawn covered in white snow. I am glad when it goes away now, because I really don't like to drive in it. We had a great time and enjoyed it while it was here. Jayden is always happy to be outside. He is our outdoor baby.

Dallin had me help him build an igloo. I always seem to get stuck doing the hard work. He did dig the hole in the middle, and we tried to imagine what it must be like to be an Eskimo living in an igloo. He had many insights about Eskimo's. I don't know where he learns all of his interesting facts, but I can ask Dallin any question about animals, or random things, and he always has a very long description.

The best part of the snow is when it lands on your tongue and you can taste it as it comes down.

Elise and her tongue. Her ballet teacher needs to remind her to dance with her tongue in her mouth. Such a funny little girl.

Pizza Night

Every now and then we have a fun, messy pizza night. We make the crust and give the kids their own ball of dough to make their own pizza's. Justin was very proud of his banana, pineapple and cherry pizza (I am not too fond of bananas on pizza).

Jayden loves making his own pizza. It is so fun to see how much he just wants to be like his older brother and sister.

YMCA Basketball

Dallin finished an 8 week basketball game at the YMCA. It was a little crazy to go two days a week for 8 weeks. Dallin had fun, especially because he got to be with his friend Carter. It was fun to cheer for our Basketball star.

Sledding

We have a fun group of friends with kids that are about the same age. If you ever see us going out to eat. There have been many comments from people, like "I've never seen so many kids together at one time." This time we decided to go sledding up into the mountains. Kind of crazy because the snow was pretty deep and there was more crying than laughing. But, these are fun times and we had such a great time.

Elise and Kelsey.

Jayden having a great time.

Valentines Day

This is a very late post, but I just wanted to remember these fun valentines that we made for our cousins. Broken crayons in heart molds and you let it melt in the oven for 7 minutes. The kids love to make things, and we always have plenty of broken crayons.
