Birthday

I don't like that I am in my 30's. But I still enjoy a good birthday celebration.

This is what Eric got me for my Birthday!! I love it! I look forward to some family bike rides this summer.

Eric and I went to dinner at a place called Citrus Grill. I highly recommend it. It was new to both of us. I got a sour-dough turkey melt sandwich that will change your life. Afterwards, we went to the new outdoor mall (City Creek) and walked around. It's a pretty fun place.

This is the only picture we got of me blowing out my candles....the battery died on the camera. Jack and Kyle were SO excited to help me. I had a great birthday. Thanks for all the phone calls and text messages I recieved from everyone.

Jack....Hairdresser?

This is what Jack did today while I was nursing Blake. I told him to go brush his teeth because we were getting ready to leave. He headed straight in to the bathroom. When I walked in there a few minutes later he had his head in the sink, rinsing it. I asked what he was doing and he said, "Rinsing my hair after my haircut". He gave himself a bang trim and a few cuts in the back. So glad he is a boy and that this is not a drastic change. Oh, and the first thing he says to me when I asked him why he did it was, "Mom, you shouldn't of left the scissors in the drawer where I could get them". HaHa. I left his hair like that all day. When people asked him about it he would hide his face and was embarrassed.

St. George Fun

We celebrated Kimbers B-day.

All the Grandkids

We got a sitter and went to lunch for my Birthday. So fun.

Last weekend my best friend Christy came to Salt Lake. We went out to dinner. It was fun to finally meet each others babies.

Tonight we had two of our cousins over for the evening. I made a St. Patricks day Breakfast/Dinner for the kids. Green waffels and eggs. The kids loved it.

Preschool

This week was fun! We missed our friend P. Hope he feels better soon. We learned about the letter R, shape Rectangle, color Red and number 5. Our lesson was also on Rhyming. The boys got to practice writing the letter R and finding it in a word search. We read fun books on Rhyming. I put together a Rhyme bag. We pulled the items out and made Rhyme words. They also acted out R-animals and words,like Rabbits, roosters and rolling around. For snack time we ate Ritz crackers and Red apples. The boys painted a picture of a Rainbow. They also went outside and picked out their own rock to paint. Instead of playing the game penny, penny who has the penny? We played rectangle, rectangle who has the rectangle?

LID..KID.

DIG..PIG

PAN..VAN

CAT..HAT

Today was my last turn to teach!! Definately bitter-sweet to have it coming to an end. My friends and I have done Preschool together for two years. I was sure lucky to work with a bunch of awesome ladies. It has also been fun to watch my kids learn and to be apart of it.

Flying Kites

It was cold and windy last Saturday. Perfect for flying kites.

It was fun to have Logan,Perkins and Spendlove families there.

Blake

Blake is 4 months old. Man, how time flies. Ever since he was born it has been kinda a blur. It was super busy throughout the Holidays so I am glad things have calmed down a little. At his checkup yesterday he weighed 15 1/2 lbs and was 24 inchs long. He is growing out more than he is in height but that is normal for one of our babies! We love that he is so alert, starting to smile and laugh. He loves his bath time and watching Jack and Kyle play.He also loves to suck on his fingers. Such a sweet addition to our loud,roudy house of boys.

Denver Trip

Blake and I flew out to see Amy and her family in Denver. Blake did awesome on the plane.

Amy and I had a baby two days apart. Blake and Stellas first meeting. They hit it off pretty well.

Amy and I had such a fun girls weekend together. Alot of eating out and shopping! I wish we lived closer to each other. A big thanks to my brother-in-law Deagan, my sweet hubby Eric and my cousin Audrey for all the babysitting they did.

Today Hilary(Eric's sister) came for Sunday dinner. She is at BYU. It's nice to have her in our neck of the woods! The kids have fun with her.

Anniversary

Eric and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary yesterday. We were party animals this year. We had a very cute third wheel on our date with us. Went to dinner at Cheesecake Factory. During our 2 hour wait we headed to the mall and did some shopping. It was fun to hang out and talk together. Blake was AWESOME at the mall. As soon as we got seated for dinner he started crying. One of us was walking around the restaurant half the time with him. He did take a 15 minute nap right after we ate our appetizer and then woke up when dinner came. His timing was awesome. Can't win them all!

Idaho Trip

Eric was gone all last week for work so I took off to Idaho to visit my family. I slacked on taking pictures but here are the ones I got.

Bateman Cousins.

My sister Beth and I enjoying a late night movie...and a symphony bar.We saw Footloose. Which I totally loved!

This was my first road trip by myself with all three kids. Coming home was alot easier. Blake slept the entire way.

On the way home I stopped and met up with a mission companion of mine....Melanie. It was so fun to visit with her and meet each others kids. We each have three boys.
