Lots of kisses

All three kids were in our bed one morning and Ella and Kash were loving on Evie. They were being so cute with her.
She was getting kisses from all angles!



We have pictures of all of my kids like this and they look so much a like:

Fashion Show

The cute girls in our neighborhood held a Fashion Show starring Evie and Ella. They were so funny; planning out all the outfits, having different categories, having a judge, and even a pink runway. I didn't realize how much thought they put into it so about halfway through I told them to stop so I could get my camera, and Matt got the video camera out. So I missed most of it but here are a few.
This is Evie in the "Diva" category.


Ella in "Western Wear."

Evie also in "Western Wear." She is wearing all of Ella's clothes and they pretty much fit! Just check out those thighs.

"Summer Time"

I love that they are going to have such fun memories with these neighbor girls.

Because I'm a Boy

Evie had a dirty diaper so I set her on the changing table. Kash, who is always fascinated with poop, followed me into Evie's bedroom.

Kash: Is she poopy?
Me: Yes
Kash: I want to see!
Me: Kash, why do you always want to look at poop?
Kash: Because I'm a boy.
Me: Oh....actually ya I guess that makes sense.

I continue to change the messy diaper.

Kash: Wow, that is Nasty!
Did her have quesadillas?

Easter Overload

Thanks to my cute husband we once again had a great Easter. He plans everything out and makes it really fun for all the kids. I have a LOT of pictures, so here they are:
Kash, Evie, and Ella right before we headed to my grandparents house.

We had lots of cousins this year. Mike and Gina and their kids, Doug and Tiff and their kids, and Kim and Heidi and their kids. Needless to say, the bounce house got a little crazy!

These are most of the kids, only missing a few. Tanner, Joel, Adam, Kash, Sydney, Julia, Ella, Madeline, Braden, Emily, Lauren
Here is Matt explaining the game he came up with using his work van. He blacked out all the windows and taped play money all over the inside. Then he stuck all the older kids in at once and they had to collect as much money as they could. They then counted it up for cash prizes. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured.

Ella went in afterward and got all the left over money.


This game used these giant balls for relay races. It was so funny to see these little legs sticking out as they ran around the yard!




Towards the end of the night Nate brought his girls over and Evie and Lola played. They are only one day apart and they were so fun to watch. They kept trying to hold hands and touch each others faces.


Happy Easter!

Easter morning

Easter morning we had a small Easter egg hunt at home and the kids opened their baskets.
Matt read a letter from the Easter Bunny explaining how many eggs there were. Ella was already so excited.
Searching for eggs
Posing with their baskets.
They were both really happy to get Tangled. Kash grabbed it from Ella and started shaking uncontrollably he was so excited!
Ella has my sweet tooth and is ALL about the candy.

Easter Eggs

We had lots of cousins over to our house to dye Easter Eggs. Gina and her kids were there as well as 3 of Doug and Tiff's kids who were in town from Montana. It was a lot of messy fun!

Emily, Tanner, Lindsey

Kash and Adam are so dang cute together.
I think every one of Ella's eggs were pink!
Joel cheesing it for the camera. When we were just about done Joel accidentally spilled a whole cup of bright blue dye all over himself and the floor! I thought Matt was going to pass out haha!
I LOVE this pose from Emily!
Cutie Kash
Matt supervising.
I wish Lindsey lived closer to us, she is the BEST helper ever.
Two years in a row Adam's hands have been dyed totally green.

We decided next year we will do this project outside.

Park Play Date

Every Tuesday some of the moms in the neighborhood do a play date at the park. I love how funny this picture is. Some looking, some not, some eating, some shirtless, etc. These are such cute memories.

Where's Ella?

Matt went to check on the kids before we went to bed and told me to come upstairs. We were standing outside of Ella's room and he whispered "Try to find Ella." It was dark and it took me a minute but then I saw this mop of crazy hair sticking out from between her headboard and mattress. I can't believe she fell asleep like this.


My green thumb

I have lived in my house for over a year and these are the first flowers I have planted. I have really wanted some by my front door so I finally did it. I don't know a thing about gardening so I thought I better take a picture while they still looked pretty! It has been a couple of weeks now and they definitely don't look as good as they do here. I should probably rip them out and put fake ones in! That's how bad I am.
