Sharing with a Smile




Moms that have a baby and also other children in the house, probably have similar stories like this to share. I was sorting laundry in my bathroom when I heard Kade laughing and saying "baby" and "eat." I came out and saw him hovering over Cole with a huge smile on his face (both Kade & Cole were smiling :). Cole is smiling because he got some chocolate. Kade is smiling because of his masterpiece.....baby covered in chocolate. He loves to share his food with his baby brother. Silly Kade!

Easter Sunday


It was a hard task to get everyone together to pose for this picture. Let's say I wasn't the happiest photographer afterward. I was only able to take just this one picture of Jared with the kids before the battery died and three of the kids cry. It was almost funny. With that behind us, we had a good Easter Sunday. The kids were thrilled to finally get their Easter basket. We watched a video about Jesus resurrection and had a nice Sunday dinner.

Cute Kid



You'd think a cute kid like this would go to bed willingly, not so. Kade was throwing one of his many tantrums before bedtime. The reasons could be that Jared reprimanded him for playing in the toilet, hitting mommy, not getting to watch Signing Time or just not wanting to go to bed. He can climb out of his crib now, thanks to Kali & Enoch for showing him. I just realized I took Kali and Enoch's terrible two for granted. Kade is something else! I don't know why people call it "the terrible two" because it starts at eighteen months or earlier. Thank goodness it's bedtime-peaceful time-enjoy it-love it!

The Hunt Is On


The kids had so much fun at our ward Easter egg hunt. There were fifty nursery and primary age kids running crazy trying to fill their baskets. Enoch shared an egg with Kali which made her "really happy that he gave me one of his eggs." Kade opened his eggs, took the goods and discarded his eggs. He was satiated.

This was at an informal Easter egg hunt with some friends. Kade found three eggs then abandoned his basket, but he quickly returned when he realized if he opened the eggs he could count coup!

The Three Amigos

This picture is blurry, but it's the only picture I have of my boys together. Cole is currently the calm and laid back of the bunch. He is smiling, laughing, and scooting aound. "Kado Tornado" is busy, busy, busy keeping me cleaning up after him. Enoch the Rock is really sweet and loves being the big brother. Beware girls, these brothers will break your heart!

I think this is a really cute picture of Cole with Jared. Father and son just hanging out in bed.

Oh Yeah!



Kali worked hard to join the Accelerated Reading program. There was a parade to spotlight each AR student. Their peers cheered them on as they walked down the hall, however, Kali was more excited to get the shirt. She couldn't stop smiling because she was so nervous. That's our girl! We are very proud of her.
