zion

had a fun little weekend getaway to Zion with my sister, her fiancé and Sadie

we hiked all three emerald pools and the boys blew our minds by hiking/running the entire way

we really could not believe it!

the boys have major endurance, it's mind blowing

we also ate some GOOD food and did some swimming

annual Easter car race!

Easter

Easter Morning! the kids got new towels, a blow up pool and some other goodies

my pretty Easter girl!

The hunt at Mema and Pepa's



ketchup

kindergarten testing for Griff (is this really happening??)

but I assure you, him and I are both ready for this ;)

this girl is just like her brothers at this age, we ride all day, everyday

my little TV fanatics

when this girl colors, she colors her whole body and my whole house (first of my kids to ever do this)

we all love Lowes and Home Depot trips with Daddy, this time we were looking at flowers that Mema might like (look at Nolan's eyes peeking through ahh!)

this kid crafts from sun up til sundown, NO joke

little miss mess maker in action

OH Maggie

this girl...oh man

she is sweeter than sweet and such a GIRL

she yells "OWEN, RUB-BUB!" (her new way of saying Griffin) all day

she books it on her little trike and even rides around the block on it when we go for walks

she has just started putting two words together and can say any word we ask her to

it's pretty hilarious!

yesterday was the first time she put two words together and she said GOOD GIRL after I said it to her, I about died

she still LOVES watching Umi Zoomi and can practically count because of it haha

she often says "oooone, twoooo, threeeeeee, sixxxxx, ninnnne" when she is going up steps or "counting things"

thanks team Umi Zoomi!

she seriously kills me every single day

girls are a different type of cute, that's for sure

she is obsessed with "Ohrek" (yogurt) and eats it several times a day, she begs for it and I give it to her (oops)

too bad it's special yogurt (because of her allergies) and costs a dang fortune

her allergies probably need to be re-tested soon

she no longer gets hives when she eats egg or dairy

I was told to try dairy again 6 months after her initial test and we tried it and NO hives!

I thought, yay, she has outgrown her allergies!! (they were very mild when she was tested)

BUT if she eats dairy it aggravates her skin, caca

so she has a little here and there but I really try to stay away

hoping to re-test soon to clear my mind a little

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

still obsessed with this hair....

ketchup

found out that Nolan's "periorbital cellulitis" is actually "blepharitis"

Maggie finally got her first mani by Aunt Nicole

Magz discovered her Mema's vintage little tykes babies and decided to feed one of them

this kid kicks everyone's trash at Mario Kart, it's almost ridiculous

Griff got to go to Nascar with Daddy, Nicole and Maddy

Maggie insists on putting her own pants on, and she does it every time

Kason and Nolan had a little dirt bike wreck, it was Nolan's fault

the kids getting reemed by Kason for being turkeys one day

Maggie discovering the neighbors porch swing and wind chimes, we pretty much end up over there at least once a day

obsessed with crocs, just like her brother's!

little getaway

my little sister is getting married in August

during one of my my Mom's trips here to visit, we took a weekend and went up north to help my sister

Kason agreed to watch the kids and off we went!

we rented a car and headed up

our weekend consisted of:

watching my pretty sissy try on some amazing dresses

narrowing down her wedding locations

sushi, of course

getting treats at the CUTEST bakery downtown

finally watching the Justin Bieber movie and becoming even more of a Belieber (I LOVE him ahhhhh)

watched the Katy Perry Movie as well. LOVED.

it was a fun, successful, relaxing weekend!
