Cheeeeeese

Recently the babies have really taken interest in helping us do more things like the laundry and putting the dishes away and cooking so today I was preping for dinner tonight and I had them help me. Here are two cute videos of them helping and some pictures.

Happy Easter

On Saturday we went to Mesquite for Easter. We had a blast!!! We got to spend some time with Nicole and Chili(her dog) and Jonas spent the whole day Sunday with us so that was great. The kids always play well together and I love for the twins to spend time with their cousin that they do not get to see very much. On Sunday the boys made lamb, carrots, rice, asparagus, and rolls which were all amazing as always. We did not get to see Rachel because she had to work the night before but we want to wish her a Happy Birthday. Hope everyone had a great Easter as well. Here are some pictures of our fun. Here they are opening their Easter baskets. For like a half an hour, Jason was blowing bubbles with the babies and they just loved it.Coloring eggs with Dza Dza.The Easter egg hunt. Elijah would pick one up and put it in his basket but when he found another one he would take one out and pick up the new one he found and put the old one on the ground in the place of the new one. It took some convincing for him to have more then one in his basket.

Spring Break

This past weekend we went to California for Devyn's baby shower and Connors baptism and birthday party. We had alot of fun spending time with the family. Jeremy and I stayed at the same resort that we stayed at last year and they gave us a very nice upgrade. It was great to spend some quality time with Jeremy as well. I know that you are all expecting pictures of the shower from me since I was the one who had her camera out the whole time but unfortunately I failed and failed miserably at getting any good picture of the adorable mom to be. However I did get some really cute ones of the decorations. DeEtte and Aunt Lori did an amazing job with everything from the decorations to the food to the games. Everything was adorable and perfectly matched Devyn's colors right down to the shirts that all of us were wearing (totally not planned though I swear). Devyn got alot of really cute things including hair bows to match every outfit that Jane has, clothes, a diaper cake, her car seat, and a bunch of other really nice things. Here are some pictures.Adorable cake, even though they left the "s" off the end of Congratulations. DeEtte said she had to have the bees, I am glad she did because they were just so cute. I am really sorry again Devyn that I did not do better with the picture taking, I really do feel badly about it.

So the other day we went to a new outlet mall that recently opened here in Vegas by the Fry's and it is has an amazing playground for the kids. Elizabeth and Elijah just loved playing in the houses and climbing and sliding. Here are some fun pictures of our day.

She absolutely loved this "horse" as she called it, she played on this for a very long time.

Emma, Josh, and Jenn met us there so the kids could play together. This was a really long caterpillar that they really liked playing on too.
Elijah would climb to the top of these stair which lead to this "dessert cafe" and every time he got to the top he would start to dance and then plop down on his bottom to go down the slide it was really funny. This is not the best picture but it was captured during the moment.

Dope Nose

So we were at Target today and I saw some of the coolest boy shirts that I have ever seen. I must start off by saying that I have been a little disappointed in boys clothes up to this point. Don't get me wrong, my wife does an awesome job of picking out some of the freshest threads this side of the Mississippi, but nothing that is just out and out cool. Not from lack of trying. Boys clothes are just boring. Then as we were walking down the aisle my eyes were drawn towards these two shirts lying on a counter. They were adorned with a blast from my childhood. It was a town made up of these characters based upon emotions. You know Mr. Happy, Ms. Giddy, Mr. Methlab, and so on and so forth. Needless to say they were just really cool and my son looks good in them as well.

Just One of Those Days

Do you ever just have one of those days? Wow, I am having one today and so I thought that instead of getting overwhelmed, as I normal would, I would blog pictures of my beautiful babies. This is a video of my son "reading" a book. I am going to copy Chelsea's earlier blog and type the words for you. He does go backwards and repeats his favorite part of the book which is about the red fox but here are the words and video for your enjoyment.

Sniff! Sniff! I live in a tree. Who is my mommy?

My mommy is a squirrel. I am her baby.

Yap!Yap! Look at my pointed ears. Who is my mommy?

My mommy is a red fox. I am her cub.

Cheep! Cheep! Look at my sharp beak. Who is my mommy?

My mommy is a falcon. I am her chick.

Peekaboo! I have dark beady eyes. Who is my mommy?

My mommy is an opossum. I am her joey.

Scritch! Scratch! Look at my white strip. Who is my mommy?

My mommy is a skunk. I am her kit.

I am a baby raccoon and this is my mommy.

Who is your mommy?

Elizabeth has become quite the little helper. Here she is helping give Elijah a bath.

Being cute and cuddling on the couch after baths.

This picture is for DeEtte. Remember when you would tell Lily to say cheese and you would get that adorable, goofy smile. Well my daughter is following in her footsteps...
