cousins and pictures

While in California we went to the park to take some pictures of the kids. It is always fun to get them all together. So here are some of the pictures we took. These are especially for you grandparents!!

Dallen really didn't know what to think about Sammie. He's not used to being around kids that are younger than him!


We really went to take some pictures for Sammie turning the big 1!
She was full of smiles and so much fun!

Driving to California for spring break. The kids did great!
I have a feeling it will be a bit crazier next time we go on a trip and there's another kid in there.
Having fun at the park with their cousins! They all get along so well!
Disneyland!!!
Too bad it was pretty busy and I was pregnant. But overall we had a good time.

Enjoying the beach. That was probably my favorite thing we did on our trip.

After a long day at Disneyland, Dallen crashed on the way back to the hotel.

Before we left for home, we went to breakfast with my sister. The waitress that took us to our table laughed at us that 8 of the 12 in our party were kids.

Our family picture for the month.

Hannah is 6!

Hannah had a fun birthday weekend last week. I can't believe she is 6 already, but then it seems like she has been 6 forever. On her birthday she chose to go to sweet tomatoes for lunch and then to ITZ to play. ITZ wanted to charge us $10 per person to just get in, so we left and went to Chuck E. Cheeses instead. She was just as happy and all the kids enjoyed playing.
The next day she got to have her party with her friends. She had a Rapunzel party.
Her tower cake. We made paper lanterns, pinned Rapunzel on her tower, and did a bean bag toss. Bethany organized a scavenger hunt for them to find their goodie bags. She loved doing this and helping me with the party!

Six things about Hannah

1.) Her favorite colors are pink and turquoise.

2.) She is our social butterfly and loves to make new friends. She is friends with everyone in her class at school, and will make friends wherever she goes!

3.) She is so loving and has a soft heart for others. She always wants to make everyone feel good and to help them.

4.) She loves school and does so well in everything! Her teacher tells us that she is the all around good student.

5.) She really enjoys dancing, singing, putting on plays, gymnastics, riding bikes and having a good time.

6.) Her favorite food is cheesy macaroni and pizza.

One of her presents was her toothfairy pillow. She loves it, but wanted to know why she needed it since she doesn't have any loose teeth. I've decided to make them for their sixth birthday's, that way they will have them when they need them, and I won't have to hurry and do it when they have a loose tooth.

Happy Birthday Hannah!! We are so lucky to have you in our family, we love you!

My stack of pillows that I sleep with these days. Ky thinks it is funny, to me it's just annoying!
Two thirds of the way done, I can almost start counting down.

The girls have had collapsed days the last two weeks, meaning they go to school from 8-12. They have had to get up earlier than normal and it has worn them out. I caught Hannah taking a nap, which she hasn't done in a long time. Then the next day she wanted to take one again, because she wanted to be able to stay up late again.

Spring break is finally here!! I am in need of a break from school as much as the girls are!!
I love Hannah's pose!

Last night right before bedtime Dallen threw his favorite and only blanket that he has to sleep with in the toilet. I have an identical blanket to his in pink. So I got that down for him, and since it was already dark he couldn't see that it was different. He didn't seem to notice until this morning when I was asking him why his blanket was pink. Once he saw his blanket fresh and clean out of the laundry, he did not want anything to do with the pink blanket. It will be good to have for backup!

p280 week 8

Dallen bumped his nose while getting off my bed and got a bloody nose. Rylan being the good brother he is got D his blanket and woody to help him feel better.

When me and Ky came to bed one night, this is who we found in our bed. We woke her up to get her back to her room, and I asked her why was she in our room. She said she didn't know and she didn't remember getting there. I hope this sleep walking doesn't become a habit.

Ry got a big gash on his forehead from his sister. She threw the dress up firefighter hat at him. We were surprised how much damage it did.

Some flannel I bought to make some receiving blankets for the baby. I am getting more and more excited for her to get here already!

Miss H had her birthday and turned 6! She was pretty excited. I can't believe she is 6, where did the time go?

p280 week 7

Bethany had her half birthday and now is 7 1/2! I can't believe that another 6 months she will be getting baptised! Rylan was making Bethany laugh by moving his ears and saying, "look at my moving ears..."
We went to the track and the girls took a break from riding their bikes to have a running race. They made it around half way before they ran out of gas.

Rylan decided to eat the whole bottle of tylenol and then blame it on his brother. He even had a whole story as to when Dallen did it! We called poison control for Dallen. Afterwards Rylan confessed that it was him that ate it, and then he showed me how he got the lid off. It will be good when Dallen can defend himself!

The girls wanted their hair curly, so that's what we did.

We got our Disneyland package in the mail! Yay!! We are so excited, only 1 more week!!

Our family picture for February. The kids thought it was so funny that the camera would blink at us and take the picture by itself. One way to get a few smiles!
