Having fun with Grandma

Happy April Fool's Day

The day was filled with lots of silly jokes and pranks. Some jokes ended in tears because Dallin kept on teasing Penny she had bugs and spiders on her and then she got paranoid.

We made Bunnies out of old socks for a craft!

Grandma Wright has been here, and the kids have loved every moment of playing with her!

We ended the evening with a April Fool's dinner of Mashed Potatoes and Gravy (ice-cream and caramel sauce) and peas (skittles)

Penny does not like mashed potatoes so I was expecting an instant whine of what was on her plate but i couldn't fool my little SWEETheart. She knew it was something yummy :)

Road Trip to Utah

The kids are at a good age now for traveling, they were so good the whole trip! It helps to give them lots of sugar, a McDonald's Happy Meal with a toy and a redbox movie to watch. Penny loved watching the movie "ThePrincess and the Frog"

Baby Isaac's Blessing Day

I am waiting for the rest of the family to update their blogs so i can get a picture of baby Isaac :)

Road trip to Idaho Falls

I only have two pictures from our trip :( I couldn't find my camera it was hiding in the van!

Baby Allison did well traveling! i sure do love her perfect little nose and lips and chubby cheeks!

Rolo had a work conference to attend so we decided to tag along for fun! The kids LOVE going to Aunt Becky's house in Idaho Falls! They had a GREAT time!

LUCKY

the little leprechauns MIKE & IKE came to give D. and Penny some Gold this morning :)

This is so random and a true story - We were sitting and eating our Lucky Charms at the table this morning and while eating we heard on the baby monitor a voice say "hurry hurry it's time to go" totally random and Dallin is now convinced that Leprechauns are real and they were sneaking out of baby Allisons room :) Apparently the baby monitor picked up some voices from someone close by, i have told Dallin before that leprechauns are not real and it is just for fun but now he believes differently. O' man, what do you do? do you let him believe or tell him it was just some random voices we heard? O' the excitement of little kids!

Well, anyhoo i hope you all have a GREAT day!

Happy Birthday Marnie

you can tell it is Spring outside! yesterday we had sunshine and today is rainy, I love it! The more rain the greener everything will be. So we spent the day inside playing games, doing puzzles & baking cookies :)

(the kids & maggie waiting and watching for DADDY to come home)

around five o'clock pm the kids and DOG start getting wild at our house, they are anxious for their Daddy to come home. Maggie starts barking at every sound she hears, thinking it is Daddy, the kids start teasing her and yelling Daddy, it is funny to watch!!!
