Pickup Man



Dustin finally has his pickup! He has wanted a Dodge Dakota for as long as I have known him. He found this one and got very excited. I can't wait to go on our first family outing in it. Maybe camping!! (or Utah) :)

Unreachable


For those trying to get in touch with me in the near future I may be hard to get a hold of. While checking my e-mail this morning I heard screaming coming from the bathroom by both girls. Karlie was so upset I couldn't understand what was wrong. Then it all made sense. My wet cell phone was laying on the floor of the bathroom. After taking care of the culprit, Karlie rescued the cell phone from the toilet. But it was to late. Monster baby strikes again!

Our Song

This is Karlie's favorite song. When we are in the car we have to listen to it over and over! She always asks if we can listen to, "It's late and your momma don't know". It is so fun to listen to her sing it. So this one is for my big girl! :)

April Fools


Gotcha!
Well some of you. My brother Seth saw right through me! So no, I'm not having another baby this December. I know it's like the lamest April fools joke, but I just couldn't resist. The timing is just too perfect. Can you imagine, another December birthday? Dustin had his family going all day at work. But I just couldn't bring myself to call mine. I figured blogging it was bad enough. My dad didn't even check the blog yesterday so I was kinda bummed! Although, just joking about it made me kinda wish it was true. Just a tiny bit though! :)

Expecting!

It looks like we will be getting a new addition to our family! And yes, you guessed it. The end of December. March is just the month for us! I may have to have some tests done to make sure I don't have a medical condition. December babyitus! We are very excited to add to our sweet little family! Even if it means another December birthday! :)

Easter Fun



We had so much fun this past weekend! We packed up Thursday morning and headed for Bloomington! Easter in Bear Lake has become a tradition for my family. There is no better yard for an Easter egg hunt than my Grandparents. And there is no better place to be together! We loaded up the bikes, balls, and bubbles, for some spring time fun. I figured the weather would be like it is here. Cold and cloudy, yet some grass to play on. We were very surprised to find the yard hidden by plenty of snow. At least the roads were clear so we could go for some walks and get some use out of the new bikes!


Since we weren't outside as much as we would have liked, we played games, visited, and watched plenty of episodes of the office!
The Easter egg hunt was fun! The snow didn't slow the kids down. Except when they fell up to their knees through the softening crust of snow. Unless that was just me, and the snow couldn't hold all of my extra pounds!

Seth and Heater set up a scavenger hunt using their "navigation system thing" (not sure what it is really called) for the older boys to find their Easter treasures. We all had fun walking (or riding) around town watching the kids find the hidden clues.

When we got home, Dustin unloaded the car while I started the pasta salad. We had less than an hour until we needed to leave for Dustin's parents. Natalie was finally able to participate in some Easter fun. She was house ridden in Bear Lake because it was just too cold! We had two rounds of egg hunts. First the babies, then the older kids. Once Natalie picked up an egg it was hard to get her to let go of it to put it in the basket so she could get more. It was so fun to watch Natalie and Aria on their first little Easter Egg hunt! We love having close cousins!!


We are so thankful for our families and the time that we can spend with them. We had such a great time this weekend! It was the perfect ending to a long winter and a great kick off to spring and the busy work season!!

Dancer



Last weekend Karlie had her first dance performance. She loved getting all dressed up in her new costume. It was very entertaining of course! There is nothing like watching a bunch of three and four year old little girls try to do a dance together!




The little girl on the end next to Karlie is Karlie's cousin Avery. They are only 2 1/2 months apart. I love that Karlie has cousins her age that we live close to! Lucky girl!


I recorded the dance on my camera. I knew Karlie would enjoy watching it. It is a bit shaky because I kept laughing. They don't know the ending very well. Maybe they will do a little better next time! Karlie is on the far left.
