Portal 2 was so worth it.


Anthony actually wrote this. He was tired and thought he was writing on his blog. I was going to just delete it but it's kinda funny.

Teachin' Them Young

Getting it going is the hard part.

And maybe going uphill.

Downhill didn't look so bad.

Keep going buddy.
(If we had a gas mower he wouldn't be able to do it by himself.)

I love it when my children play so well together.

2nd Easter

(I don't have pictures from our 1st Easter yet)

We had our 2nd Easter at (are you ready for this?) Anthony's, sister's (Sam), husband's (Phillip), parent's (Pam & Tom) house. Sam and Phillip were having their babies blessed last weekend so we thought we'd just make an Easter out of it. All most all of Pam and Tom's kids with their kids were there so there were lots of people. We had lots of fun!

Of course there was an Easter Egg Hunt.

I have to show you a close up of this one

Makaylin said "Hi" to the big "whoo, whoo (dog barking), gog (dog)!" during the big hunt.

I got worried about this little boy, almost to the point of panic. Anthony found him inside watching TV. He was finding eggs so fast Anthony told him to slow down a little bit so the other kids could find some. I guess he thought he'd watch some TV while he waited.

They had this fun swing set.

I think the kids really liked it

They had horses to ride. I didn't give Anthony the camera fast enough to get a picture of Jacob.

The fun car ride home.

Crazy hair girl.

My Monthly Post

My parents came up for a visit about the middle of March. We had lots of fun with them.

We played at the mall.

We went to Jacob and Ethan's favorite place to eat. They only get to eat there when Grandma and Papa are around. Ethan calls it O' McDonald's.

It was nice enough to play outside.

We had professional pictures done of the kids, or at least we tried to. Makaylin wasn't very cooperative.

We even had the boys get a hair cut.
(I usually cut their hair but we wanted them to look nice.)

This was what they wore for pictures.

This is the best one I have of this one.

We also took a trip to Cabela's. It's a pretty amazing place.

(Look at Ethan in the background.)

(Jacob wouldn't get any closer to the manikins.)

It's always fun when Grandma and Papa come to visit!

My dad's cousin Joan was in town for a convention. She stopped by to visit us. We went to Chucky Cheese's. Of course I forgot my camera but she took her's. I'll post some once she emails them to me. I do have these pictures though!


The top one was our attempt at trying to do a group picture. Well, our second attempt. The bottom picture was our first attempt.


I didn't even know Jacob took these. I just found them on our table. He did them all by himself.

(We wanted to get one of these pictures of Ethan but they ran out of paper.)

Anthony's uncle Jim came on Tuesday with two wrestler's on their way to nationals. That's Jim's arm taking a picture on his phone. The kids loved playing with the boys.


We had a Relief Society activity to celebrate the birthday of Relief Society. I made this cake for it.

This one was my practice cake.

Two kids in the tub.
(Well, actually there were three, one was too crabby to take pictures.)
