We kicked April off in the best way- watching General Conference and being spiritually filled. I love watching our prophet and apostles every six months! While the dads were at the priesthood session, the moms and the kids made kits to keep in our car and pass out to homeless people. It was a neat idea but I'll admit that Jase ate most of the contents one day while he was waiting for us in the car. oops.
The Guzmans stayed with us for a week and we all had a great time but Ellie especially loved it as she bonded with Merrick and the two became best buddies.
We were constantly watching giant tom turkeys fan our their impressive feathers and strut around the field. We get to see so many animals here- it has been really fun for us all.
The kids really treated me on my birthday. Brig made a checklist: kiss, hug, flowers. The best things ever! But I have to say that the homemade confetti that was thrown at me as they hid was probably my favorite part. And breakfast in bed is always a fun surprise too! We also ate at the Chinese Café for dinner...which means no dishes...another treat!
I love when the kids and I are ready in enough time for church that I can snap a picture of these four cuties. Ty fell (a very normal occurrence) and had quite the scrape on his nose.
These two little boys love their milk and although they might drive Cory and I crazy...we sure do melt from their cuteness.
Cory helped the kids weave their own Easter baskets. He cut hundreds of willow branches and we weaved and weaved. They were all so unique and turned out really cool. The kids loved them!
Ellie and Brig played soccer with the teams in Sweet this year. They did great. Brig made 3 goals in one game and Ellie was the best cheerleader ever and was far more aggressive than I thought. It was worth braving the chaos at the Island to watch them!
Ty still isn't walking but doesn't let it stop him from playing and exploring just like his siblings. He thinks this little spot was made just for him.
Brig had a music program at school. So cute! And he learned Old Man Tucker which they had heard on Old Yeller and it is now a very common tune sung by all three of the older kids.
We spent and evening at Willow Creek which is always a favorite since it feels like it has been so long since we could do anything outside.
Ellie and Ty both got really sick.
Brig wants to be just like his dad and mimics everything he says and does.
