Fun Family Pics - Spring Break

These pics need no explanation

I am so grateful for this beautiful little girl

in our lives
And for wonderful sisters-in-law.
Anna with Heather & Becky.

All the grand kids around Nan's table

New Mommy Shae with baby London

Carter with Ben. Carter was so intrigued with Ben's bald head.

He couldn't stop staring.

Ben is laughing at Cru when he asked

"Why don't you have any hair?"

Ya, why don't you have any hair?

And my cheesin' Anna.

Everytime I pull out the camera,

this is the face she pulls.

We spent all of spring break with the family.

I helped my mom with the home show,

I got to hang with my sis-in-laws,

the kids got to play with their cousins.

It was great fun!

Big #5 for our Bryson!

I can't believe my Bryson is

already 5 years old!

He is such a GOOD kid!

He didn't even mind that his motorcylce racing cake

said...

"Happy Birthday Jelina"

thus the scratched out frosting at the bottom :)

My mom ordered it for me and the baker asked for a name...

she thought it was the name for pickup of the cake...

not for the name ON the cake.

Oh well, he was find with it and has proceeded to tell

everyone what his cake said.

He is so fun when opening presents.
He is so curteous, polite, grateful.
He immediately comments on how he will share with his brother.

He was asking if it was ok for him to open his presents.
Love his smile!

I can't even describe how much I love this kid.
He is my buddy. He loves to make us laugh.
He loves to make people happy.

Happy Birthday, Little Buddy!
(not so little anymore)

Artsy Perks of Sun Valley

The Sun Valley Center for the Arts

sponsors a great event for the kids each year...

It involved

Body Sculpting

The boys traced their bodies,

decorated them with

markers, wallpaper

Then stuffed their bodies with newspapers...

Fun, huh. Nice plaid outfit, Bryce.

It also included painting a giant

pirate ship

A ship that also became a playground

Music, Theater & Sculpture Classes

Even pottery...

Where the kids got to make

their own ice cream bowl

Great Saturday fun!

I'll post the finished product
when they get them back

And Yes, it was all FREE!

Baby Growing Up

Anna was continually climbing out of her

crib...

It was only a matter of time before she really got hurt...

So, I made her crib into the toddler bed.

She is so dang cute climbing into it,

but she struggled staying in for a little while.

She would fall out

or get out.

One night, she had fallen out and rolled under.

Ben went in and couldn't find her, then saw the bed moving

as she was trying to get up under the mattress,

getting madder and madder with each bump of the head.

I told her she couldn't come into our room until morning,

so she ended up sound asleep on the floor outside our room.

All is good, now. She stays in.

She hasn't fallen out for a couple days, anyway.

Ode to Winter!

I think I've finally given up on getting one more good storm

for some more good winter fun!

So, spring...you are ok to come now.
It wasn't much of a winter...

but my little Anna sure loved it

My pink puffed snowball
Until next year.

Let's hope.

The worst thing would be this hint of spring

and 2 new feet of snow in APRIL!
