April 2010

Yes, there are 422 pictures in this post...
but at least I didn't post all 1,400+ that I took from the month of April.  Just a liiiittle camera happy :)
 This is baby Nate on April 2nd, 2011.  A little over two months old.

 Pictures with his brother Brayden.
 Both Brayden and Luke love their little brother so much!  They are so cute together!  Always talking to him, singing, kissing and hugging him!

 I'm playing with my camera again...

 More silliness..



 haha...so funny!





 And after they went to bed I discovered this.  I knew instantly that this was Alyssa's doing and I had no idea how long the little Squinkies had been camping out on the shelf.  Haha-it made me laugh!

 Visiting Ash on April 9th.  Nate's asleep
 Chubb is already forming on this 2 month old!  ;)
 I <3 baby toes!
 I love my sister Ashlee!  She is super woman and would do anything for anyone!
 I caught this and it was sweet.  Tyson was gently tickling Ash's arm while she was reading a story.
 happy dreams

 ...and he's awake!
 smiles!
 Brayden made a robot!
 time for a ride

 We decided to take the kids up to Montana and leave the 4 bigger ones with Grandma T & Papa Howie.
 Figuring out how to sneak the kids with Grandma & Grandpa.  Nate can go in a carrry-on...
 This kids can fit in the luggage!
 Of course, Luke tried to lift it!

 I used to LOVE these when I was little because they were shaped like hearts!

 So pretty!





 The girls came home with a new family member!  Lolli (aka Princess Lollipop!)  She is a black mini lop eared bunny!
 The girls thought at first she was a toy-poor little girl!

 Easter morning 4-24-11



 silly





 more silly



 Cool or silly...haha, you decide!

















 I love all the new growth!
 Nate with Easter bunny ears!



 Charlie the cat was obsessed with our new bunny!  She would watch and watch Lolly.  She was so focused that I thought it would be funny to lift Lolly out of the bin.  Charlie panicked and was looking all over for Lolly.  Then I'd put her back and she'd relax again-still focused on her.  I did that a few times, it was funny!
 4-27-11  I got the kids up and ready for daycare and me for work today.  We got in the car and started driving.  Oops!  I passed the daycare!  I can't turn here so I'll need to go around the block, kiddos...  Kept driving and pulled in this parking lot.  Karah said mom, this isn't daycare.  I said, it's not?!  That's because you aren't going to daycare today and I'm not going to work today!  They were surprised and so excited to play all day!  First stop, the Living Planet Aquarium.





















 I let them pick out a toy in the gift shop and they both picked different pink dolphins in a little purse.  :)

 Me and my girls





 I took them to lunch at a restaurant and then we went to the library and got more library books.
 After they picked books they wanted to play in the area next to the library.  They love it here!




 We love relaxing on these swings












 time to push the dolphin! lol











 Usually the fountain is filled with water but it was empty today




 Lys always follows her sister around

 dancing time!


 I love how Lys always crosses her legs when she sits down!
 Look!  A hole filled with water!



 My girls also love the statues!


 Rocks...of course





 Then we went to the store and picked flowers for the flower beds, got a red box and pizza.  We went home and played games and watched the movie.  It was a fun day!  I'm so blessed to have my girls in my life!  They are the best!
 Here are some of the flowers we picked...















 4-30-11 snow...blah
Random pictures from my phone this month...
 4-7-11  3am  This is how I found Karah one night...silly girl!
 4-5-11  Water contest...  Every time we filled up our 16oz water, we could make a tally mark...not the best idea Logistics has ever had!  Especially Jon, he was soo sick after almost 200 oz of water in like 6 hours.  We then discovered that water drinking, to this degree, can be dangerous.  Oops!
 4-7-11 This is one of our sticky mats at work.  I was being silly and pretending it was so sticky that it took my shoes, then my socks off.  dork... :)
 4-12-11  During bedtime, the doorbell rang.  I went to get it and when I came back, Karah was reading the scriptures to Alyssa.  Sooo sweet!  <3  <3
 4-1-11  Karah showing me a gymnastics trick (her head is the brown blob by the ground)
