Pre-Easter Fun!

A week before Easter the Easter Bunny comes to Walmart and the kids get to have their picture taken with him.  They love it.  I was a little nervous about Landon but he was so funny about it.  He loved the softness of the costume so he snuggled right into his arms.  That kid is always so happy.  After we saw the Bunny we went to Pocatello to go to the Spring Fair at the Holt Arena.  This is a yearly tradition for my mom, sister, and I to go to with all the kids.  It is a really fun day.

I was a little off this year and didn't get out my Easter stuff until a few days before Easter.  But I did get it out, I guess that is all that matters.  Landon is crawling and pulling himself up to everything.  All the kids had fun getting into the Easter decorations.

Cute Boy!

The favorite Easter Eggs!

Landon loved being right in the middle of all the eggs.

Wednesday we met Christy and her kids at the park to play.  It was Landon's first time to the park.  He loved being let loose to crawl where ever he wanted.

I got this really cute picture of the 3 boy cousins.  After we left the park we all met over at Dave's hotel and went swimming.  I love that we have this available.

Summer Fun!

I think that Summer has officially arrived.  The kids have been loving the nice weather.  A couple of Saturday's ago we took the kids to Rigby to play at this open gymnastics place.  They were in heaven.  They could run around, jump and slide until their little hearts were content.  Kailey, Sydnee, Collin, and Sarah were all there so they had lots of fun playing with their cousins.

I think this was Macie's favorite.  She would run as fast as she could on the long tramp and then jump into this big pool of foam blocks.

Carter loved it all too.  He would get into the blocks and get laughing so hard he could barely get back out.

After we got done at the gym we took the kids to the river to ride their bikes and feed the ducks.  Landon was eating more of the bread than the ducks.  He is growing up so fast.  He can eat just about anything and he is just about to start walking.

Feeding the ducks!  This is a fun summer time activity.

Carter is getting to be a big boy.  He is so good at riding his bike that he hated to stay by us.  So he would ride ahead and then come back and then ride ahead again.  I just love this boy!

Macie has really seemed older ever since she turned 4.  She actually rode her bike all the way around the river.  She was pretty tired when we were done but she made it.  Sweet girl!

Funny kids!

The following Monday we took the kids to CAL Ranch stores to see the baby Chicks.  Landon loved them.  And it was fun because this year they had it set up so that he could see them while sitting in the cart.

Cute Boy!

Macie loves sharing her favorite blanket with her little brother.

Happy 4th Birthday, Macie!

Macie's Birthday was on Monday this year and so we had Sunday to play with all her birthday toys before we celebrated again.  The kids loved playing in the new playhouse and Carter and Macie laughed really hard when Landon kept crawling in and out. 

Landon was having fun playing with all the balloons.

Macie was really tired and fell asleep early and then I got some really cute pictures of my 3 best boys!

Carter loved having Landon in his bed.  And Landon was laughing a lot about being tucked into the blankets.

Goodnight Kisses!

Landon had them tricked.  He wasn't about to go to sleep.

Macie's Birthday!

Macie woke up to Scooby-Doo and Balloons on her floor.

She wanted to start sleeping in her new playhouse.  I had to convince her that it was not as soft as her big bed.  I still won't be surprised if I find her in it one morning.

The Birthday Girl!  This was a new outfit that she got for her birthday.  She looks all grown up.

For lunch we went to Leo's (of course).  She loves to play at Leo's.

After we went to Leo's she wanted to go to Walmart and Toys R Us to spend her birthday money.  She ended up finding a digital camera at Toys R Us.  She loves it and hardly puts it down.  When we got to Walmart she was completely worn out.  She climbed into the cart and fell asleep.

That night we went to Craigo's to have pasta and dessert pizza.  This is her favorite place to eat at.  I think she had a great birthday.

Macie's 4th Birthday Party!

This year Macie's birthday party fell on St. Patrick's Day so we got to celebrate double time.  All the kids wore green and Macie had her favorite princess crown on for the special occasion.

She was so excited for her special day.  She decided to go to Fat Cats to have her party.  We had been there once before and she fell in love with this little carousel. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Macie is in love with Scooby-Doo. 

We found the perfect cake for her.  She loved it.

Sweet Girl.

I think the balloon was one of her favorite things.

The Birthday Girl with the Scooby-Doo ears.

Macie invited all of her cousins and one friend.  This is Rachel.  Rachel is one of Macie's best friends.  Her dad is Andy Crossman who served in the same Mission as Dave.  We have been friends with them since we met.

This is the whole reason that we had her party at Fat Cats.  I think she rode it a million times. 

Happy 4th Birthday to our sweet girl.

She got this fun little playhouse tent as one of her gifts.  She loves it.

Blowing out the candles.

Random Fun!

These are a few pictures that I randomly took of the kids.

Landon and Brynlie were at my parent's house taking a bath together.  They were having fun splashing each other.  They are so fun to watch when we get them together.  It is almost like they really study each other and are trying to figure each other out.

Macie and Sydnee after their bath.  The kids love to go and swim in the hot tub at my parents.  After they got done we gave them a bath and then they snuggled in to watch a movie. 

Landon is just on the go all the time.  After a little bit of not being able to hear him crawl around I decided to go and see what he was getting into and this is what I found.  He had fell asleep on the hard tile floor.  He didn't even budge when I picked him up to put him in his crib.  Funny Boy!

Dave loves to feed Landon and after he got done this night Dave picked him up and Landon snuggled right in and fell asleep.  Dave was loving the snuggles.

Grandma and Grandpa Birch's 60th Wedding Anniversary!

In March we celebrated my grandparent's 60th Wedding Anniversary.  It was pretty neat to get everyone together and It was fun to have all the great-grandkids there to have this picture taken.

Grandpa and Macie having some bonding time.  Grandpa has been touch and go for a little while now and I am glad to see the kids be able to get to know him a little more.

Grandpa with Macie and Sydnee.  Grandpa sure loves all the great-grandkids.

There were a couple of gift there and Carter got one of the bows and put it on Landon's head.  They were laughing pretty hard.

After the head Carter thought it would be pretty funny to put it on his bum.  Landon was just getting the hang of crawling at this point so all the kids laughed pretty hard when he was crawling around with this bow on his bum.

Happy 60th Wedding Anniversary!
