Troy's Party

It really was not that big of a party, he only had a couple of buddies luckily they all showed up and headed out to jump on it. Troy's favorite. Then home for some cupcakes and presents and more play. So after I had put all the goodie bags together and had struggled to find pirate themed things but a lucky eye patch and sword I realized I could have gotten gold coins/chocolates. Too late the boys really did not care and were content with what they had.

And, no I did not make these.

Birthday boy! (maybe that undershirt is too big???)

Our Troyboy is already 4 years old. Well monday, but that went fast.

He could not wait, and neither could the boys.

We just could not get enough of Trey. He is SO, FUNNY! Aside from wanting to wear his eye patch and earring he also has a new fascination. He loves he's riding horsey, so one day he found Karina's Barbie horse and has taken over it. He not only carries it around but he also wants to "ride it" and will not give up until he does, even if it's just a second. Here he is all 30 lb. on the tiny horse.

Crazy!

Easter and 1st Birthday bash

First Egg hunt was pretty fun, We just thought we were gonna die outside, it was a frosty one. Everyone was sooooo excited it was like they could not tell how cold it really was. Thanks Davis it was a good one.


Hunt #2. Much nicer weather. The spoils were great, they sure had their fill, and no one got sick.

Karina is getting much better at it, and so is Troy. Trey was just excited to have 1 or 2.

They wanted their eggs back with all the stuff inside. I said, No way! or you won't have any treats during spring break!

Easter Morning. It went very, very well, we actually heard conference everyone was so busy with their stuff they actually left us alone for a good time.

Later that same night we began the B-day bash. Grant shares the month with half of the children in his family.

A closer look at grandma's talent.

I tell ya, this is why we needed them home!!!!

Who else would write Grant's mane on the cake?? Only a mother would be so kind. I know I would have just done the kids(well, that is if I could) Just a reminder and proof that your children never stop being your little ones in your mind.

By the way those chocolate bunnies were so, delicious....must buy some next year!

Conference weekend was more like high sugar activity packed weekend, but like I said no one got sick, thank goodness!

GOOOOOO R.O.I.!!!!

If you happen to be driving on I-15 south bound take a good look. Right past liberty land on the west side you might see this!

And if you want a close up......

Good job guys, I think it looks great! You can even become a fan on facebook here. Because we are oh, so cool! J/K . O.K. so we are so not cool, but I still like the sign.

March Madness

It' s a desperate plea for summer to arrive.
I mean Halloween in March?? I guess it's there take on march madness.

Karina's suggestion was to pose, and I can't believe the little one did it.

T x 2

The boys under a blanket "fort".

Weapons are part of our daily routine...guns, swords, knives, anything goes really!

Setting up the bunk. I can't believe these two are going to be together and alone. I hope we can all get some sleep.

They are all grown up now and are loving playing with each other more and more each day. And all I have to say is BOYS are CRAZY and LOUD but very CUTE. Last week we weighed Trey who has now caught up with Troy in weight they both are 27lbs. and 5 oz. No wonder they fit into most of each others clothes.

These kids cannot wait for the summer. They wanted these goggles on so bad, I had to. So they wore these for about 1 hour, actually until they started running into each other because they could not see through the fog. After seeing these pics, grant said they were on too tight. Oops! They did not mind. One good things about these (goggles) is they came in a pack of 3 how sweet is that!

Sweet Success

You might look at this and not be as impressed as I am. But you see they were just barely planted as seedlings last Tuesday not even a week ago and they have already grown!! To make things make better sense, last time I planted seeds they looked like this 3 months later and then rotted,! so this is Amazing! Now I was not as ambitious as last time and only planted marigolds, cabbage, and green onions, each were 20 cents a bag if these keep growing and happen to turn out, I will be so glad all my babysitting paid off, as a matter of fact I already feel like it has. Go ME! I mean, Go Seeds!!

I shouldn't take all the credit, Tosh has helped with the babysitting. It has become a race to which one of us is going to get the sunny spot every afternoon. Due to the fun set up of our house, our babies are residing upstairs where there is plenty of warmth and sunlight.

Random order

FHE this last monday, we actually made it in time before they closed the gates. We got to walk around it, it was a beautiful day and these guys just loved it. Our little Karina has become quite the photographer she loves our old camera and loves to take lots of pictures of herself. Pretty soon she'll be competing with the thousand or so photographers in Utah county.

Trey has become a car collector, he's even starting to arrange them in lines or piles. He's such a boy.

My reason for the long absence is this! February was the peak of cold season and this is what we have to go through around the clock when it's as bad as it was last month. Hopefully we can get this under control ASAP.

But he looks so cute and helpless I just want to squeeze him. He actual does really well and loves the dino mask, the fish one is just not as exciting.

Trying to vacuum and wear a hat at the same time, oh wait that's a bowl. I wish I had a shot if all the hats he's been wearing the last couple of days. He's into hats now!
