Pink Polka-Dot Girls

Over at my mom's the other night Lucy, Lyla and Nora were all wearing white onesies, pink polka-dot leggings of some sort and pink headbands (not planned) so of course we had to snap a photo! They are going to be great cousin buddies growing up together!

Color Me Mine

We met up with Katherine and the kids last week to paint pottery. It was a bit chaotic getting everyone settled with the paint colors they wanted and choosing the item to paint but after that they all got to work painting. They did a great job and asked me every day at least a few times until Friday when we could go pick up their work of art! They were so excited to see the end result!

Their finished products (Ava wanted to paint one for Lyla too so they all added a little paint on a cup for her)

Grandpa Larry

Grandpa Larry has been in the hospital nearly two months now recovering from complications after a surgery. We miss you and hope you get well to come home soon! Katherine made these cute pictures with the kids that are hanging on his hospital room wall to remind him of who's waiting for him at home! We love you!

Fieldtrip to the Aquarium

I took the kids on a fieldtrip with Ava's preschool class to the aquarium. We had a good time despite the fact that there were so many people there, it must have been fieldtrip day for everyone. After we went to lunch and played at Chick-Fil-A and had a fun time!

Ava, Crew, Loren and Kali

Happy St. Patrick's Day

We had a green pancake breakfast which the kids wouldn't eat because they all said it tasted weird. Funny how color makes some foods non-appetizing. Then a little leprechaun left a trail of shamrocks leading to a pot of gold with some goodies in it!

Hospital with Lyla

We spent this past week at the hospital with Lyla. I could start making a chain with all of the hot pink parent bracelets we've received from being in the hospital with her since she was born. She had RSV and Pneumonia and also the doctors told us they're sure she has asthma which made her recovery a little complicated. She was miserable for the week but got to come home a couple of days ago and is breathing much better now. She's always so happy it's hard to tell when she doesn't feel good until she's really sick. Poor little thing, she really doesn't like the hospital, but who does!

Ava spent a couple of days there with me holding and playing with Lyla. She loved that the nurses brought her treats and any movie that she wanted off the DVD list to watch.

Thanks Ellie for this cute sign and the cousins for the pictures for Lyla's bed to help her get well!

Happy Valentine's Day

We took the kids to the Provo Beach Resort in the morning and they thought that was so much fun. They loved the mini bowling, playground, croquet and their favorite is always the carousel. Then later we had a Valentine's dinner and a scavenger hunt to find some treats, they think that is the greatest to run from clue to clue to find the end prize. Then kids to bed and watching The Bachelor with pizza and cookies!
