Spring Pictures 2014

I have been so bad about getting the kids pictures taken.  I cannot believe that it has actually been since 2011 that they had them done.  Time just seems to always get away.

Thanksgiving 2013

We had the family over to our house for Thanksgiving.  Abby helped me with all of the cooking.  She is such a cutie and such a great helper :)  After we prepared the feast, the family came over and we ate yummy food and then relaxed and watched some good ol' Thanksgiving Day Football :)

Happy Birthday/Thanksgiving dessert to Austin!

Abby's 4th Birthday!

My baby girl is now 4?  As much as I love to watch her grow and learn it just seems to be happening too fast!  She is my last baby but she is no longer a "baby".  She is so smart!  She is a little sponge and just soaks it all in.  She loves to learn and is always eager to share what she has learned.  She loves going to Challenger pre-school.  She has been doing ballet now for a little over a year and just absolutely LOVES it!  She also loves doing gymnastics.  Abby is definitely a girly girl!  Anything pink is her favorite and of course something she "always wanted".  :)

Grandma Marci and Great Grandma "Nana" came over for cake and presents.

Easter Time!

We had a fun filled Easter Weekend.  We went to South Jordan Park for an Easter Egg hunt which was a bit tricky because they divided the kids into ages and of course that put us in 3 different groups.  Fortunately we had Austin with us so we were able to each take a kiddo to their designated area.

After the Easter Egg hunt the kids still wanted to play so we went to a little park near the neighborhood.

Easter seemed to approach us pretty quickly and we didn't even have our eggs colored until late the night before.  Of course it is a tradition you don't want to slip by, well maybe we as parents do but not so much the kiddos.  Hahaha!  The little kids loved it but of course we had to convince the teenager that it was fun to color eggs.  I guess it kind of loses something when you're too cool for things like this.  He was a sport and even though he won't admit it he enjoyed it.

         Of course, Gabe did a Charlie Brown egg!                                           Awe. so sweet!

The kids went to bed right after.  They woke up early the next morning and followed the trail of candy from their bedroom doors to their Easter baskets.

Gabe woke up before anyone and followed the trail downstairs checking out his Easter basket before any of us even woke up.  Because of this, I was lacking in the pictures as it was a bit chaotic.

Daddy gave Sebastian & Abby tattoos :)

We also had Easter dinner at our house followed by some games.
