Mother's Day

 On Mother's Day I always tell my children that what I want from them

is for them to cooperate and take pictures with me.

So we attempted to take some pictures before church.

 

 

Eli somehow got out of taking a picture with me.

 



However we did manage to get a picture of all four kids looking!

Huge accomplishment!

 



And I love this pictures of my three gorgeous girls!

 



 

 I sure love these little cuties!

I'm grateful everyday that I'm their Mom.



Payson Temple Open House

 Last month we had the opportunity to go as a family to the Payson temple open house.

This was the second open house that we've taken the kids to.

They did so good and we had a great time.

The temple was GORGEOUS!

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

On the way home we stopped in Provo to visit Sean's Grammy's house.

Aunt Deb was in town so we spent some time with her.

 





Avery's 5th Birthday

 It may seem like it, but no, I haven't given up on blogging.

Life is just so busy right now.

We are working really hard on getting our house decorated.

And I just can't seem to get much done now that both the girls are out of school

and I have four kids with me all the time.

I have several blog post to do. I'm determined to get caught up.

...

April 28th was Avery's fifth birthday.

I just can't believe that she's five.

She's been looking forward to this for a long time because five year olds go to kindergarten.

First thing in the morning we let Avery open a present.

She was so excited to finally get an Elsa dress.

And I was thrilled that The Disney Store had it finally on sale.

 

She wore the dress all day long and several days in a row after that.

 



She spent the morning twirling around in the empty front room.

 



Sean worked from home that day so he could have lunch with Avery. Papa Murphy's pizza.

 



That afternoon we made cupcakes together.

 



And we walked to pick up Lexi from school. Avery got a ton of compliments on her outfit.

 



That afternoon we let her open another present.

An Aurora Barbie. She and Lexi then played Barbies together for a long time.

 



She's grown up so much.

I can help but look at her here and think how did she grow up so fast.

It seems like just a year ago that she was turning two and loving her birthday cupcake.

 



That night before bed we let her open her last present.

An Aurora plus doll which she was so excited to sleep with that night.

Here's her birthday interview.

And for the record, Avery's had her check-up and she's 43 inches tall (70%) and 38 lbs (40%).





Ruby is 5 Months Old

 On the 25th of April, Miss Ruby Tuesday turned 5 months old.
She's such a good baby and is everyone's favorite.
She is the most loved baby ever!
A few things I want to remember about Ruby at this age:
-She wears 6 month clothes (only because I still haven't found the 9 month clothes yet).
-She wears size 3 diapers (she's finishing up them and then moving into size 4).
-She has usually at least one blow out a day.
-She naps typically three times a day.
-She likes to fall asleep nursing.
-She continues to really cheery and laid back.
-She's got the cutest, fattest thighs and knees.
Look how much she's grown...

 







A few days after she turned 5 months old she started eating baby cereal.

 



Avery's Preschool Field Trip - Wheeler Farms

Avery stopped going to class when we moved

but we are still going to be going to her last two field trips and preschool graduation.

Last month, her class went to Wheeler Farms.

It was a chilly windy day but the kids still had fun, especially Eli.

He loved seeing all the animals but he wasn't so interested in staying in the tour guide.

I tried to take pictures but didn't get that many good ones

 since I was pushing a stroller and chasing Eli most of the time.
