This and That

Time for a little catch up from March now that April is almost over!



We don't have picture perfect pictures from Easter but here are some snapshots of the eggs we dyed.  Fortunately the kids really like hard boiled eggs too, so they actually ate them as well, helping to balance out all the sugar they got!  Spencer and Esther make a good team because Spencer likes the white part and Esther likes the yellow.  Ammon still eats the whole thing.



After a morning outside in the snow (back during that big storm) the kids had some hot chocolate and we pulled out some candy canes to put in it.  This is what Spencer came up with when I wasn't looking.  These will be the little things I'll miss when the kids are grown.   Good thing I have grandchildren to look forward to!




With the blog time "Becky's Blurb" it's funny how rarely Becky shows up.  That must be because I do all the blabbing.  Esther wanted a picture of the two of us so we snapped this the day the big storm started.



Ammon absolutely LOVES going outside and gets very upset when Daniel leaves and doesn't bring him along.  It took some adjusting to get used to walking outside with shoes on but now he is constantly bringing his shoes to us, begging to go out.  (This is the photo I told you about Nancy!)




The reason we no longer put the gate up.




I just love this picture Spencer painted.  He is the blue person and the orange people are friends of his, with Ammon the little person next to him.  Once in a while we do get an art project in and it amazes me what they come up with.  Esther is now old enough to join him in another art class (taught by a friend in our ward) and I can't wait to see what they create.

Ammon Getting Around


I tried posting this like two months ago, but for whatever reason it didn't work.  This was from his first birthday, when he still needed his little walker to get around.

When it Rains it Pours

We had a huge puddle (mini pond) in our back yard after a very heavy rain this week.  Spencer and Esther were really sad to see it gone the next day, but we are just grateful our house was okay.



My goal was to have a monthly post and, for anyone who still checks it, I completely missed March!  I'll have to split it up with a few different posts, but here are some photos from our crazy snow storm, which the kids also loved.  I couldn't complain too much seeing how happy they were.  And if it's going to be cold and yucky there might as well be some snow to play in, we didn't get near enough this year.
