Park & Play

Last weekend we spent each day playing at a park. We took the kids to the wings center, which has a huge room filled with play equipment and a giant ball pit. These places creep me out, because they are just a big germ fest, but Carson and Kylie had sooo much fun.I just try to not think about it, and wash their hands with wet ones before we leave. Kyle, Lexi and I had just as much fun watching them. Kyle joined in and climbed on some of the equipment too, it was pretty funny to watch! We decided that we would like to take them there more often, because they wore out so much energy and slept great that night. It was nice to let them just go crazy and bounce off the walls, in a place other than our house =0). We also went to a couple of outdoor parks, and to the MK nature walk.

They were a little afraid at first to climb on things

as soon as Kyle joined them, they had no more fears. This little girl in the picture was dressed in the same colors as Kylie, and her dad was getting really confused. It was funny.

Lexi and I can't wait to join them in a couple years here is Kylie riding on her reptile They LOVED the swings, and wanted Kyle to push them "super fast"

The nature walk......Kylie kissed the fish through the glass. It was so cute!t

pop pop and airplanes

My birth father came for a short visit last week. I told the kids that he was bringing presents for them, so as soon as we opened the door, they started asking for their presents. They were happy to see him. My birth mother was not able to come, so we did miss her. Kylie played barbies with him, it was pretty funny! The kids do not see their nonna and pop pop very often, but it is so neat how they are old enough to really remember them, and know exactly who they are. I am sure that makes nonna and pop pop feel very special too! They called them and thanked them for their cute outfits, toys, and candy.

They acted like Santa Clause had arrived!

This little rabbit that Kylie has walks around, and poops out jelly beans! ha.

Those presents were exhausting. He is welcome to come for a visit anytime =0)

We also went to the little Emmett airshow last weekend. The kids love airplanes.......especially Carson. He was so excited to see them all.

Here is Carson with a real life heli-hopter =0)

Easter Festivities

We had a very exciting Easter this year. We decided to bless our little Alexis Brielle over in Idaho Falls on Easter Sunday. It was nice to have all of Kyle's family with us for it, and my parents even traveled over there to be there too! She looked beautiful on her special day, and she was able to meet some of her aunts, uncles, cousins, and great grandparents for the first time. Kyle gave her a beautiful blessing, and we had some yummy food after to celebrate. It was the cutest thing ever, to see the kids play and hunt eggs with their cousins. At one point Kylie and her cousin Hailey (who is a few years older) were sitting at the table looking at all of their treasures from the hunt, and Hailey said to Kylie....."isn't this just the best day". We all smiled at how sweet it was! It really was a great day, and the weather was nice too. Here are some pictures of our festivities.....

This was my dress as a baby, Kylie was blessed in it, and now Alexis has been blessed in it

We had so much fun! It was wonderful to spend Easter with the family.Thanks again to Ty and Sandra for letting us celebrate at their house, and for all the delicious food! We are so grateful to have Lexi in our lives, and we will always remember this day. She is such a sweetheart, and we love her to pieces!

The Easter Train!!!

Grammy and grandpa treated us all to a ride on the easter train, the day before we headed over to Idaho Falls. It was soo much fun. We are already looking forward to the pumpkin, and Christmas rides. We started in Horseshoe bend, and went up to banks for an egg hunt. It was really pretty up there. Kylie and Carson had the best time. Carson was yelling with excitement when the train started. The easter bunny was even there. She walked up and down the cars and handed out treats to all the kids. Kylie and Carson really warmed up to her by the end of the ride.

We were surprised to see the kids give the easter bunny a hug on our way out.

Beanie baby

Our little Alexis had her two month check up today. She is a very healthy baby! She weighed in at 12lbs. 13oz, and 24 inches long. It is so funny to us, because she is completely opposite of the twins. They were super tiny, and she is pretty big. They were normally in the fifth percentile, and she is in the ninetieth! She is such a sweet baby, and has been smiling for the last 5 weeks. She had three shots today. I use to watch people get shots everyday, when I worked as a dental assistant, but when it comes to my kids...I have to close my eyes. After her appt. we went to Walmart to get some diapers, and I found her this cute little hat. She truely is a little treasure! I was a little nervous to take all three kids to the appointment alone, but Carson and Kylie were so well behaved! I took them to McDonalds to play at the "park"(that is what they call it) to show them my appreciation!

She even has some cute characters to watch over her owie's=0)

I am glad to see that she is not mad at me!

Last week.....

Carson and Kylie love to help Kyle and I, with any projects that we need to get done. Kyle bought a planter box to start our garden indoors. He let the kids take turns placing the seeds in each little cup of dirt. They loved it. Here are some pictures of all three kids dressed up for church. It is so much work to get us all dressed and fed, and out the door by 8:45......all by myself. By the time we get there, I am ready to go home and take a nap! It is worth it though, they love to go to nursery. It is amazing that they remember what they learn each day too. I always ask them what their lesson was about on the way home, and they do tell me. They also tell me about all the toys they played with. Church goes by really fast for Alexis, since she sleeps through the majority of it.

Here is Kylie and Carson on one of their first trips in their new car.......I guess they approve of it!

yesterday we did some yard work. The weather was so nice! Carson and Kylie drove around their tractor. Kylie just about got ran over by her brother, and it looks like Chloe is next! Lexi was right there too, doing what she does best =0)!Finally, here are some pictures of Alexis snuggling with her big brother and sister right before bed time. They love to give her hugs before they go to bed, and I can tell that she doesn't mind it either!
