Oh I could give you all sorts of excuses....but I'll spare you....if anyone even reads my blog anymore, and just give you an update of the past 3 months, I hope you like pictures!!!!
The end of February left us with all sorts of surprises...like this lake in our back yard!! Thanks to many tender mercies from heaven and neighbors we were able to contain the water and didn't flood!!
We went and met my sisters at discovery gateway to celebrate my nephew's birthday and the kids had a ball
Ella thinks she's the cargo
I think this was Jaden's favorite area...he would have stayed there all day...and he kinda did!
My cute Ella bug!
J man in the water!
March left us with lots of fun lazy days at home!
Some in the bounce house.....
Some snuggling on the couch...
and some just being silly!!
We had playdates with friends!
Did some fun art projects...
Even hit the zoo with our cousins!
we rode the train
and even played musical strollers!!!
Then April came which brought on EASTER!!
We dyed Easter eggs...
and the Easter Bunny even stopped by, hid our eggs, and left us some treats!
Ella going for Jaden's treats...
On Easter morning we got all dressed up and headed off to church
We had a few Easter parties....one with my mom and sisters and all the cousins..
Ella LOVED the Easter egg hunt!!! She's obviously my child and LOVES sweets....
My cute kiddos!!
I can't believe how grown up my Jaden is!!
All the cousins!!
Then we had our Easter egg hunt with the Cleggs!!
Look at that cheesy grin!!
Checking out their loot!
All smiles...
Shawn gets good friday off so we have kind of made it a tradition to go to a movie as a family. This year we went saw the Lorax. Jaden LOVED it! He thinks going to the movies is the coolest! Ella sat through a little while of it...then I spent the rest of the movie chasing her around the halls of the theater....oh the joys!
Before the movie we went to Warrens for some yummy ice cream and shakes!
Oh what a little daddy's girl!
Ella is in a very independent phase and INSISTED on eating her shake all by herself with a spoon, and she actually did a really great job!
Now...for the biggest news of all!!!
Shawn had been bugging me about getting a new dog...we finally decided we would talk about it later this summer....
Well our good family friends, my old employers, and Shawn's boss's family (all one family :) ) got a new puppy so after a trip to Salt Lake for Shawn's grandma's 90th birthday, Shawn suggested we stop off on the way home to see their new puppy they had just gotten that day....
Well after seeing the puppy Uncle Scott proceeds to tell the kids he has a suprise for the and goes into the office and gets a big box....yep...you guessed it, he and my husband conspired against me...and thus let me introduce you to Piper!
Lucky for Shawn, she actually is an adorably sweet dog with a great temperament! She does pretty good at night (except last night) and the kids ADORE her!! Welcome to the family little Piper!
