Instagram: March 2015

Off on an adventure. Canada here we come!

A quick drive out to the Vancouver temple.  Beautiful, as usual and very bright (as evidenced by all of my squinting).

More from Canada. Happy Brynlee, views to die for and all you can eat sushi and Korean BBQ.

While we were gone the kids were spoiled rotten by grandma and grandpa. Movie nights, crafts and prizes.

Brynlee rolls!  Easton's commentary at the end is my favorite. Brynlee is blessed with siblings that adore her. (On a separate note, I dread the times when my babies start to be mobile.  Why do they have to get bigger?)

5 months today! Brynlee is the sweetest. She sleeps through the night, naps like a swaddled champ and goes with the flow of our crazy family. She can roll tummy to back and is thisclose to rolling the other way. she is the most ticklish thing you've ever seen and lights up when her siblings pay attention to her (which is all the time). I'm not sure how it is possible that 5 months have gone by since she was born. Time flies!

These are my favorite. Walmart doesn't always stock them, so when they are there, I stock up!  I'll pay 50 cents any day if it makes cleaning my crock pot a breeze! #happyhint

Another one bites the dust. Tooth#3 is out and waiting for that tooth fairy to come...

That pesky leprechaun turned our milk green, but he left some chocolate coins to make up for it.  My favorite part was the kids "finding" other things that he did to the house. Like turning a bike helmet over, putting a piece of paper on the ground, etc. (Both were not touched by the leprechaun). Gotta love the joy kids find!

Wishing you a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Working on holiday pillows for the YM/YW auction...I'm going to have a hard time giving these up!

Easton has faith, do you? #gowyo

Had an amazing time with @bethanyjackman at the Garth Brooks concert last night!  Just sorry that Ronnie had to stay home sick.

Bucket list item: See Garth Brooks in concert [Check!]

Last two pillows, ready just in time for tonight's auction.

I think it's safe to say that Devynee enjoyed our "Kendree got her kindergarten shots" ice cream!

When I picked up Kendree from preschool, her teachers asked me if Easton had broken his arm (they taught him as well). He has NOT broken his arm and they proceeded to tell me that Kendree had been telling them all week about Easton's broken arm and his blue cast and how it has to be on for 10 weeks and how he had to come home from school at lunch time for a few days after, etc.  Since they wanted to "sign" his cast the teachers put together a sweet note with a picture of a cast and well wishes.  I have a feeling we're in trouble when she's a teenager if she is this good at "stories" now.

Took some pictures before church of the kids in their "Easter" outfits since next week is General Conference and wouldn't you know that the goofy one is my favorite.

Today I finished a personal challenge to read the entire Book of Mormon in the month of March. Just about 20 pages a day and it was amazing.  These verses in Moroni chapter 9 are just a few of the many that I love. I'm so grateful for this book of scripture and its guidance in my life. #imamormon

Videos from March 2015

Here's a video of Brynlee rolling from her belly to back.  I love Easton's reaction!




And here is Easton's talent show try out.  He told jokes. :)

Random March 2015

Devynee didn't feel well for a few days (technically, every one eventually got some form of this sickness except for me and Brynlee). She looked pretty precious sleeping on mom and dad's couch.

Easton lost his 3rd tooth (upper front right).  As usual, it was a traumatic experience that involved tears, but ended with elation.


On the morning of St. Patrick's Day, the leprechaun left us some chocolate gold coins and turned our milk green.



 This girl was pretty cute that day!

Another attempt at a group picture.

Easton had a lot of faith in Wyoming this year...

The sickness I mentioned above was hitting Ronnie hard on the night of our Garth Brooks concert tickets, so I was able to hit it up with my college roommate Bethany!  It was a very fun night, despite the fact that I didn't have my original date with me.



Brynlee began to enjoy some time during the day in the excersaucer.  She needs a blanket behind her for a little stability, but loves having a better view of all that is going on.



I found matching dresses for the girls (hard to do when you are going from a size 6 down to 6 months).



 Kendree had to get kindergarten shots and so we got ice cream afterward.  Devynee really, really enjoyed hers. :)

Devynee saw the picture that I took of her sleeping (see the top of this post) and wanted to reenact it.


When I picked up Kendree from preschool, her teachers asked me if Easton had broken his arm (they taught him as well). He has NOT broken his arm and they proceeded to tell me that Kendree had been telling them all week about Easton's broken arm and his blue cast and how it has to be on for 10 weeks and how he had to come home from school at lunch time for a few days after, etc.  Since they wanted to "sign" his cast the teachers put together a sweet note with a picture of a cast and well wishes.  I have a feeling we're in trouble when she's a teenager if she is this good at "stories" now.

 Easton wrote this note on the back for me to take back to Miss Donna and Miss Sarah.

Grandma Cali found matching dresses for the girls and sent a tie for Easton.  They dressed up the Sunday before Easter since General Conference was on Easter.
