April

 So for April fools did our traditional meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato frosting and for dessert we had this.  It was a brownie steak, Ice Cream mashed potatoes with chocolate gravy and lime tootsie roll peas.  The kids think it is fun.  Although my son had a hard time at first getting past the appearance.

 This is our baby growing up way to fast and wanting to use the neighbors big boy bike.

 My daughter showing her mad hula hoop skills.  She is using 3 hula hoops.

 My son starts Kindergarten in the fall and here he is at Kindergarten orientation.

 Fun at the Park.

 

 Hey look mom I can go fast down this and it feels like a roller coaster.

 This year we tried soccer again.  My husband coached our son team.  They had a lot of fun doing this together.  The best part is our son played this year.  He at one point stopped trying to kick the ball though and felt it was his job to keep the other team out of his friends way to make a goal.  One step at a time right.

 Great Grandma came to visit one day.  It was a nice surprise.  Here she is listening to a book on CD with my son.  She was so sweet with him.

 She also brought the kids gifts.  Here is our youngest enjoying the crayons she got.

 Then one day after Stake Conference we thought it would be nice to drive to the Temple and enjoy the view.  Here the kids are having fun on the grass.

 Our kids love to sleep in the same bed sometimes.  Sometimes one of them just really wants the extra comfort.  They can be very sweet.  However the youngest try as she might is not allowed to join in yet.  She is a little young still.

January

 January was cold as usual.  Although we did not get near the snow amounts we usually do.  It was a fairly calm and good month.  Here are some of the highlights.

We got the kids snow shovels because they always want to help.  They were so excited and shoveled the sidewalks and driveway after this storm.  It was cute.

 She found a space she liked to call her own.

 Both these pictures I was instructed to take the picture.

 One day we went to the grocery store and got some Kong Kones.  Various sizes based on the one eating it.

 My husband made me a cheesecake for my birthday.

 We also had a Talent/No Talent night with our Ward (church group).  My daughter decided that she was going to hula hoop with her friend to One Direction's "You Don't Know You're Beautiful".  Wish I had video they were cute.  But my phone was being used for music and we didn't have the camera.  Some wise words from my daughter, being funny the"MC" asked them if they did their own stunts. After looking at him like he was crazy she told him "We have been best friends a long time and we really wanted wanted to do this together. So we imagined we could do it, then we believed we could and we can do anything". When I grow up I want to be like my daughter.  Some people came up and told me they loved what she said.  One Friend said that it made her cry.  She said it is so true.  You just need a friend and you can do anything.

Frightmares
