Catching Up

Well I couldn't start to catch up on April without mentioning our Anniversary. Travis and I have been married for 7 years. Can you believe it? Time has flown by, and there are a lot of days where I still feel like a newlywed. The longer we're married, the more I love this man of mine, and the more grateful I am that he chose me. He's a wonderful father, husband, Dr. and priesthood holder. I couldn't have picked a better man to spend eternity with. I love you babe.

I was in charge of doing the preschool Easter party. I decided to do these cute bunny cupcakes that I found on a blog somewhere. I can't remember where now, so I can't give credit, sorry. I thought they turned out cute. We also played pin the tail on the bunny, colored Easter cards and envelopes, and a whole bunch of other stuff. I took more pictures, but I didn't have a blindfold for the kids to play pin the tail on the bunny, so I used the bibs I made for the kids. It looked pretty white trash, so that's why I didn't post pictures. Would you expect anything less from me:)

The kids were excited when Easter morning finally arrived, and they discovered the Easter bunny didn't forget them. Austyn was so cute to watch. She was a little hesitant to come down the stairs at first, but once she realized candy was involved, she was all about it.

One night after showers, the kids were all playing around Harli. It was so cute, I had to get a picture. I absolutely love this photo. I think it will become one of my favorites for years to come.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned that Austyn is becoming quite the mischievous girl. She's constantly in everything, and doing exactly what you told her not to do. If she's not in your line of sight, she's in something she's not supposed to. I can't blame this whole incident on her because her older siblings were being bad examples. However, you can tell they at least attempted to stay somewhat clean. She obviously dove in head first. It had rained a few days earlier, but the weather was really nice, so I told the kids they could play outside, but to stay out of the water and mud. Take a look at the photos and tell me if I have obedient children, and whether or not I'm a good mother:)

I was really mad at first, but once I saw Austyn, I couldn't help but die laughing, and then I had to get my camera.

She had a snotty nose, so I wiped it. That's why there's one area on her face that's clean.

Last, but certainly not least, our Tanker man turned 3 on May 11th. We celebrated by taking two of his good friends, Lillian and Aleigha to McDonald's. Poor guy. We can't manage to even find him any friends that are boys for him to play with. He's surrounded by girls everywhere he goes. He loves them though, so that's good. Lillian gave him some skittles, chapstick and cowboy dress up. He loves them.

That night we went bowling as a family and picked up a pizza for dinner. Then, we opened presents and had ice cream for dessert. It was such a great day. He loved everything, and we had so much fun bowling. I told Travis I think we should make it a birthday tradition.

Ice cream time. I love the action shots of him blowing out his candles. Good job Travis:)

In case you didn't believe me earlier when I said Austyn is a pill. I found her the other day on top of the counter. She had dragged one of the kitchen chairs over and climbed up. She was in the Krispy Kreme donuts. I think she's gonna have a sweet tooth like her Mom. I love the first picture. She's upset because she thinks she in trouble. When she realizes she's cute and Mom's just gonna take pictures, she decides to ham it up. Crazy girl. Good thing she's cute.

Slacker

So I know I've been a complete slacker at blogging lately.  I'm training for a triathlon and doing insanity, so needless to say, that's pretty much consumed me for the last 3 months.  I'm almost done, and ready to get back to reality.  I will update soon.  I promise.  If you still read this, don't give up on me.

Happy Birthday Megan

 
Today is my wonderful friend Megan's birthday (she's the one on the right in the black balero sp? jacket).  I just realized that I forgot to include a card in the gift I sent her, so I thought I would give her a shout out on my blog today.  Happy Birthday Megan.  You're a great friend and I miss you dearly.  You're always nice to everyone, and you are such a wonderful mother.  You are so patient and kind.  I really need to take notes:)  I hope today is as wonderful as you are.  Love you.
