At the beginning of the month, our friends and neighbors moved and the kids needed some pictures with their friends one last time!
Devynee takes more selfies than any of my other kids combined. Some are pretty fantastic!
Sweet Sydnee goes along with all the crazy in our family. I had to document sweet baby asleep at the dentist.
Ronnie's 2000 Toyota Tundra with over 260,000 miles on it has officially lived its useful life in our family (no longer highway worthy) so we upgraded a bit. We are loving our new truck!
Kendree was the student of the week in April and filled out information on the poster. Some of my favorite things she wrote are that her favorite place is her house (isn't that the goal of all parents) and her favorite food is Chicken Cordon Bleu (which she had for the first time ever the night before she filled this out.)
My super talented friend made these darling cake pops for Easter, I had to document them!

Instagram: April 2019
Sydnee is 10 months old and moves around like crazy! I only got one picture of her on her back to turn out, out of dozens of attempts. She just wanted to roll and crawl. Sydnee got her first stomach flue this month and it was the saddest. Sick babies are the worst! She cruises around the house all day and puts everything in her mouth. Everything. Frankly, I can't believe she isn't sick more often. Sydnee is such a happy baby and naps like a champ but continues to want her mama at night. Now that she is over her sickness, I am ready to sleep train! Next week is the plan. She lives to see her siblings and they live to entertain her. those younger siblings in a family are so lucky to get all that attention. We love our happy girl!

We were able to spend a day of our spring break with grandma and grandpa in Laramie. We had a great time bowling, getting ice cream, and spending time together. Grandpa had lots of help putting a bolt on the trailer. Then the big kids spent the night and had a party! I was not great at taking pictures.
Brynlee was so excited to start preschool at the local high school this morning! Hallee is a little lost without her, but we'll make do! I wish I could bottle "first day of school" excitement and give it to my kids throughout the year. :)
A picture of Daddy and Brynlee on her first day of preschool last week. Here are some quotes from their drive to school that day. "Hallee is getting more and more teeth, so she is going to start talking better and better like us." "I won't have a birthday, until my next birthday." "Why is that bus following us? (She said about the bus we were driving behind)."
Six months ago, Ronnie won round trip airline richest from Cheyenne to Dallas. We decided to surprise Easton with a trip to see the Angels in Texas! A little baseball, a little In N Out and a little father/son time for the win! Even if the Angels didn't (win that is).
Easter weekend! We woke up to eggs and baskets from the Easter Bunny. Then dyed our eggs and had a great time!
Happy Easter! I am so grateful for my Savior and this season and the opportunity we have to celebrate Him!
Easton has been playing on a traveling basketball team this spring and they had their last game recently. They did not win (not even close) but Easton made a nice three (you can see the ball in the first picture) and played well he has loved playing more basketball and looks forward to playing again in the fall once baseball is over.
April 27 was so fun! I got to spend the day with two of my college roommates (and say hello to another). WE had a great time chatting, going to the temple and touring Littleton. So wonderful to be together!
