Just Chillin'

I was looking at Marcus the other day and noticed how big he is getting! He doesn't look like a little toddler anymore, I can't believe what a little boy he is now! He is so cute and I love how he will just plop down and watch TV. He has the cutest smile and I love to hear him laugh! He also loves to pose for the camera as you can tell below...

This is another battle wound for Marcus, we were out on the Rhino on Saturday and a tree branch flipped back and smacked him above the eye. Poor kid! He was very brave and luckily it didn't bleed much:

Tee Ball

Carson started playing Tee Ball a couple weeks ago and absolutely loves it!! That is all he talks about and he always wants to go outside to "practice". The games are pretty hilarious to watch, little three-year-old chaos, but they love it! Here are some pictures of him at one of his games (he's number 3):

Wyoming Trip

A week ago we went and saw my brother and his wife Laura in Afton, Wyoming. Laura's oldest son had his mission farewell so we wanted to go out for it. We had a great time seeing Johan and his family. Here are some pictures from the luncheon they had:

Carson and Marcus found this little thing on wheels to ride on and talked one of the older boys into pulling them around the gym for like an hour! I guess who can say no to those puppy dog eyes right? :)

Happy Birthday Cousin Kai!

Saturday was cousin Kai's birthday. He sure had a fun party with an Easter Egg Hunt, Cupcakes and lots of candy and fun playing! Carson has been so used to looking for a specific color egg fo Easter Egg Hunts, he couldn't believe that he could just go get any color! Marcus could care less about the eggs, he cared more about the chocolate inside! And Shalise loved just playing on the grass with the Easter eggs. My kids had a great time and were super excited about all the candy and chocolate to take home, thanks for all the sugar Heidi!! :)

Easter in Moab

We spent Easter weekend camping in Moab. It was a really fun trip, a lot of work with the kids, but really fun. We rented a tent trailer which was great!! Get ready for lots and lots of pictures...
Here are the boys "helping me pack":

The campsite, ours is the tent trailer by the blue truck on the left:

Going through Hurrah pass, eating lunch and exploring in the caves:

Slick Rock:

If you notice the weather change throughout these pictures, it started out really nice and then as we were getting close to the end it started hailing and the rocks looked totally white! Talk about "slick rock". There is also a video of Jake going down a big hill.

The motorcyle:

This motorcyle belonged to little boy that was in our group and was a big hit! Carson begged and begged to ride it every day. The last time he rode it with Jake he was getting ready to park it and stepped on the gas and took out our friend's tent. They ended up with a big hole in their tent... So it looks like we'll be figuring out a way to repair or buy a new tent... I guess this is why a 3 year old should not be riding a motorcycle even with Dad on the back!

Here's a little video of Carson riding the motorcycle, he saw me taking pictures and had to stop and pose to say "cheese":

The Easter bunny came while we were camping.

Shalise enjoying her lollipop from the Easter bunny:

All the kids had a little Easter Egg Hunt. Most kids had to find the ones with their initials but since my kids can't read I put Thomas the Train stickers on so they could find them, here are the boys enjoying their treats:

Carson playing with his bucket and shovel from the Easter Bunny, he spent like two hours playing on this dirt hill:

Rhino Naps, gotta love them!!
