Random April 2015

Kendree drew this picture for a friend.  It is a zebra with the sky, sun and some flowers.  I love it!

We got to have cousins come visit for Easter and they all wanted to hold the baby!


Except Todd, who just wanted to hold his monkey...

Cute Brynlee in her bumbo!


Just another day, laundry piled on every inch of the couch and Devynee needing her picture taken.

And we couldn't forget Kendree!

Swinging girls.

A video of the girls swinging.  One of my favorite things ever.

Daddy sent me this cute picture when I was stuck in work meetings.  Just the way to wrench my heart!

The fun of holding the baby has NOT worn off for this girl.  She is a great helper and will be a great mama someday.

 This one was taken by one of the girls, just a typical day, playing on mama's lap.

A little egg dying between sessions!

A grainy and horrible picture, but our Easton performed in the talent show today!  He told jokes. His favorite: Why was the nose sad? Because he didn't get picked.

I'm currently on the floor playing with this little one. She was a little crabby and it's not quite time for her nap, so we're enjoying a little play time.

Yesterday Brynlee turned 6 months old! Half a year! It doesn't quite seem possible. She is a happy baby who loves noting more than to have people to look at and talk to. She is rolling both ways and learning a little more mobility every day. to celebrate this milestone, we let her taste her first rice cereal. It went about as you'd expect.

Six months means rice cereal!  The other kids were disappointed that she didn't just start gobbling it up.

The view out my backdoor. I'm not gonna lie, I actually love spring storms. They are beautiful, give us moisture and melt quickly.

Look what I'm watching! I'll let you know if I have to leave before it's over and also, you can plan on some middle of the night phone calls when I can't sleep. #youknowiwill

The day your kid leans how to pump on a swing is the best day ever!

Attended the beautiful wedding of a family friend and thanks to our fun buddy Joshua, both girls' dancing dreams came true!

Easton in the Talent Show

Easton was in his school's talent show in April.  He told a few jokes and did great.

Brynlee: 6 months



This little doll turned six months old!  In broken record fashion, I'll do an update.  Brynlee is sleeping through the night, taking 3 naps a day and loves to be entertained.  She rotates from her excersaucer, to the swing, to the floor, to a siblings arms, to the car seat to run some errands and repeat and repeat again.

At her 6 month appointment she weighed 12 lbs. 12 oz and was not on the charts.  The doctor isn't concerned for now, since I had waited to introduce rice cereal and other foods, but if she doesn't improve at her 9 month appointment, they will do some more digging.

We gave her some rice cereal the day she turned six months old (April 15th) and it went about like this:

Easter!

My pictures of Easter are pathetic to say the least, but let it be known that the Easter bunny arrived.


We also dyed eggs.








A video of the action:

We also had an egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's.



All the cousins sorted their loot.

We are so grateful for a reason to celebrate our Savior and his resurrection.  What a wonderful time of year to be reminded of all that He has done for us!
