Spring Break

We had such a fun spring break! We left this, and headed to Arizona.

We stopped and visited Grandma Robbie,

and then headed to Phoenix to visit these guys. We had so much fun. We went on lots of hikes, played games, the wii and tons of parks. 

The cutest little ducklings! 

 Fun at the Children's Museum!

 At the top of Camelback! It's an intense hike, and we made it to the top!

 It's not so much an "enjoy the scenery" kind of hike, but a "keep an eye on were to put your foot" rock climb straight up for 1.3 miles.

 Happy Easter!

After Arizona, we headed to the Grand Canyon. It really was beautiful! I'm so glad that we crossed of this wonder of the world that is not too far from us.

I've never seen a baby so sick though, it was awful. Fever of 105 and Strep throat in a 13 month year old?! Shouldn't be possible.

Next we stopped in Grand Junction and continued the party, but my phone isn't uploading pics. Anyway, we had an amazing spring break!

So much

We have a new little 1 year old. She's the best and so happy. I've never known a baby that almost gets delirious and super giggly when tired. She loved her cake!

 We did the party at night and she was a getting a little sleeping until she tried the cake.

 We loved celebrating with this birthday twin cousin.

We love going on family hikes. Especially in the winter, ah Colorado is amazing.

Lincoln had to have 4 teeth pulled because his permanent ones were already coming in. He was a trooper.

We love playing at the Museum of Nature and Science!

I knew I would love having a girl, but I just about died when she got a pedi, mani for her 1st birthday...Lincoln and Dallas each had a foot. Good times.

The end of February we watched Amanda's kids while they were in Thailand. Such a party!

These two became even better friends. Well, when Mila was stealing his bottles or pacifiers.

We read Curious George's pizza party, and then had our own pizza party. My mom was really patient. 

Dallas took a little gymnastics class which he loved. He's actually pretty awesome. It probably helps that he's a little monkey and not afraid of hurting himself. He basically does pull ups all day long.

I've been feeling sad that next year Lincoln will be in school all day, so we've been doing more fun things in the afternoons. Hammond's candy factory was so fun. It was fun to see all that they were making!

Because every kid loves this. This time around, there's just a lot more mess surrounding her.

Because I'm crazy, and having some kind of mid/quarter life crisis, I painted our family room/ kitchen while Bryan was at work. I get a high from painting, not just the fumes...the look/ clean feeling it gives me. It's also addicting!

We got a zoo membership for Christmas and we love going!

A Home Depot Valentine craft.

He seriously fell asleep against the door during scriptures, but then I went to get my phone and he fell over, and then he was faking, but it was SO funny.

Now I feel caught up from the past 3 months! Pictures just never get off of my phone if I don't blog!

10 months

Little baby is 10 month today, and man, we love her a lot. 

... and she loves these fingers.

 She's not moving too much, but when she does...she rolls. She's kind of laid back and pretty much just happy to stay where I put her, so we have to "practice" crawling :)

Christmas

was amazing, and magical and all I could have hoped for:) We started looking at the lights at temple square.

 Little girl was so excited for her first Christmas!

 We played Christmas songs on the chimes!

 We had a talent show...seriously, he's a good hula hooper!

We acted out the nativity. We had a shepherd, Joseph and baby Jesus.

 Christmas Eve dinner was delicious!

 Christmas morning! I'm pretty sure this is the, "I'm just so excited hug!"

 She loves opening presents

and he loves to help!

It was an amazing Christmas and always sad to leave!

After a few days home, getting everything back to normal, my parents drove through on their way to Grand Junction. They really needed help, and Lincoln was off of school, so I just packed up in 20 minutes and went to help them unload. These people were good helpers too!

 Then we brought in the New Year!

 Even though all of their stuff wasn't there, we still have fun!

We headed home and then went miniature golfing Saturday night.

I definitely feel like we made the most of our Christmas vacation! I love being with family!
