Ella's Birthday!

 We decided not to have a friend party this year, so Ella invited a few cute friends to Kangaroo Zoo for the morning. We all had a great time!

 Brighton.

 Natasha and Emmalyne.

Everyone in the same bounce house.

Ella's first tooth out!

St. Patricks Day

 Brighton came over after school on St. Patricks Day and she and Ella made Leprechan traps. They are very clever. Ella actually caught a leprachan in her trap, but he ran out the side, leaving a Leprechan shaped hole.

The Leprechan played tricks on the kids while we were asleep, he mixed up underwear, and turned the toilets, and the hand soap green. For weeks after St. Patricks Day, when I would ask the kids where something was, they would say, "The Leprechan must have taken it!"

Ryan's Birthday in Moab

 Ryan wanted to spend his birthday hiking, so we headed to Moab. It was so fun. The kids loved it and were such good hikers!! We had a little over 24 hours there is all, we did the windows, double arch, delicate and the sand hill at the entrance to the fiery furnace.

 All smiles.

Ella's Sock Puppets

Ella is so creative. She checked out a craft book, found an idea to make sock puppets and then worked on making them. I got her a bag of scraps out but that was the extent of my help. She is 6 and so creative!

The Everyday

 Dallin and Landon watching Wild Kratts, or Nature, or Octonauts.

The kids love going to Smiths, getting a shopping cart and brousing for toys. Dallin looks at the air soft and bb gun aisle too. Some days Landon wears these "spy glasses" all day.

 Dallin's primary source of calories for several years has been cheerios and milk. He eats several bowls a day.

 Ella playing with her animals.

 Ella off to school.

 Landon in the tub... usually daily for 30 to 90 minutes. He is a tub baby!
