We were officially back on our own with the kids that Monday morning and life was now in full swing. We had school projects to turn in, kids to get off to school on time and Kayden to chase after. Kayden was getting faster and faster with his army crawl and it was so funny to watch. He was so excited to go everywhere he shouldn't. We only had a few weeks of school before spring break so we were just getting back into a routine by the time spring break hit. We did have some good fun before spring break.
This is typical thing we do around our house, following Kayden up the stairs. He thinks it is the coolest thing.
Look at that cute boy!! Kayden has loved being a big boy sitting in his stroller. He enjoyed taking walks around the neighborhood just to get out of the house.
As soon as school was back in and I was on my own again with the boys Wyatt informed me that he hadn't started on his 120th day of school project. That created a little bit of stress trying to get a project done in 1 day so he could turn it in on time. Thankfully, we got it done and he turned it in.
What a sweet little face. haha He is so funny and loves to put things in his mouth like this. He is like a little puppy. I love when he does this with his binkie strap and his blanket.
We also tried out this new restaurant by our house called "Backyard Bird". We figured it would be good to support our local restaurants. However, it was NOT good! It was over priced and really pretty terrible. Even the soft served ice cream was gross. The only thing that was tasty was the pineapple cream soda. Which wasn't even something they made. haha
Kayden enjoyed the mac and cheese though. So that was good!
I had to take a picture of this. Wyatt is totally my kid. haha I am such a protein drink fan and when I saw these for the kids I had to buy them. The boys really liked them so that was a win!
The weather started to get really nice here in March so we decided to take advantage of the nice weather and go out for some mini golf. It was pretty crowded but we had a lot of fun.
Even Kayden enjoyed being in the warm sun and enjoying some snacks while we pushed him around.
This kid and his toes!!! haha He is the most flexible of all our boys. He loves to stick his toes in his mouth. It is so cute and he will giggle sometimes when he does it.
Nothing better than Daddy's phone. haha
Or his eyes..... haha
We sure do love this sweet little boy!! He is getting so much stronger. Trying to pull himself up on us which is more than he had been doing. He gets pretty frustrated when he can't pull himself onto me or Brandon.
Then it was time to bring out the ball popper.
He seems to be getting bored with his baby toys that we have out so we brought the ball popper out and he seems to like it. He isn't super into it yet but with time I am sure he will love it.
Just a little bit of park time!
It was supposed to be another nice day when we decided to head to the park but it ended up being windier and colder than we had expected. So we didn't last super long.
Kayden had fun in the swing for a little bit though.
Look at that happy face!!
Emmett loves this spinning thing. He kept asking me to push him on it. Then I would sit on it with Kayden and have Emmett push us. We had fun on it for a bit and then called it a day and headed home.
Here was one of Kayden's blood pressure checks. We had to go back a few times and the first 2 times his blood pressure was higher than it should be. However, when the lady took his blood pressure Kayden sat like he was paralyzed. He barely moved a muscle the whole time she took his blood pressure. It was super high the first time and then she took it again and the second number dropped like 20 points. He seemed a little bit more relaxed the second time she took it but you could tell he was nervous. The nurse was saying how great he did and how he didn't seem nervous. What kind of 9 month old sits that still when something is on their leg. No 9 month old is going to sit that still especially Kayden. I knew he was nervous. The next time we got his blood pressure taken it was a different nurse and she was so good with him. She talked with him first and let him stay in his car seat and got him used to her. Then she took his blood pressure and after a couple of times retaking it because it read too low it was a normal blood pressure. She took it on the other leg as well and then wrote down both. The next time we went in for another blood pressure check it was basically the same thing. I was glad to see his numbers more normal. I didn't want him to have high blood pressure. It made me nervous since he only has one good kidney. So that was at least good to see his number normal twice.
This silly little boy does not really love his play saucer. Our other boys loved playing in stuff like this but this kid is only happy in it for a few minutes and then he cries. Sometimes he cries as soon as I try putting him in it. haha Silly kid!
The boys have been obsessed about playing Zelda and or watching Dad play Zelda on the nintendo switch. They will beg Brandon to play Zelda. It is so silly.
So I went to pick up Chick-Fil-A for dinner one evening. We decided to just have me pick up food instead of going all together to eat inside. When I arrived at Chick-Fil-A on a Friday night at 5 the parking lot was empty and the drive thru was super empty I couldn't believe it. It was because of this virus called the Coronovirus. Everyone was freaking out about this virus and starting to shelter at home. It was crazy!! I don't think I have ever seen a Chick-Fil-A parking lot this barren on a weekend evening.
We also go our new outdoor furniture in the mail that we had ordered on Amazon. We were super excited to get it and Brandon set out to put it together. It ended up being super cold that day and Brandon spent like 3 hours putting it together. It was sure nice once it was all together though.
It was a good purchase! The boys were sure enjoying it!! :-) They went outside in the cold with blankets and started to pretend that they were asleep. haha
I also squeezed in getting my hair cut which was needed right before spring break. I went in and with this Covid 19 virus starting to get some friction people were starting to freak out. So I asked my hair dresser if they were staying busy. She said that they were thankfully staying busy. While I went to get my hair cut I had just been telling Brandon that I wouldn't be surprised if Church meetings were canceled and Conference wouldn't have people attending. As I was at the hair place I saw on Instagram that Church meetings were being suspended. As soon as I saw the news article Brandon texted me. It was so crazy!! I had called it!! Thankfully for the Come Follow Me program we were all set to have Church at home.
So that Sunday March 15th we got all dressed up and had our first "Church at Home". The kids did so great with being reverent. We had church for about an hour. We sang songs, Brandon passed the sacrament (Our Bishop gave all worthy priesthood holders in our ward authority to do so), had a lesson from Brandon and myself and sang some more. We all enjoyed our church at home experience.
Look at that cutie pie!! Oh my goodness that smile!!
Wyatt conducted our first church at home.
I am so lucky to have such a sweet family and to have a worthy priesthood holder in my home!!
Then we enjoyed some beans and rice for dinner outside! :-)
Kayden really enjoyed his beans and rice. haha
Look at that good looking outdoor furniture! It is nice and comfy as well.
Then the boys were officially on spring break. We were going to head to Idaho once Brandon was done working either Tuesday or Wednesday so we started our spring break with the boys doing some puzzle games and exercising with me.
I love it when the boys do exercise videos with me. Its fun to watch them try to do the exercises. It is pretty cute!
Kayden also hit 10 months old!! I can't believe this little boy hit 10 months old!! He is such a joy in our family. He has gotten really good at eating the same foods we eat and is army crawling around everywhere. He loves avocado, mac and cheese, cooked peas and carrots and really anything that we can give him that is soft enough for him to eat.
Look at that happy boy.
Kayden got to enjoy his first time on the trampoline when he hit 10 months. He had fun pulling himself around the trampoline. haha
And then there are these kids......
And this cutie pie again. haha
Such weirdos!!! haha
Nothing better than a selfie from a 10 month old. haha
Brandon also put in a whole house humidifier that he bought on Amazon.
After hours of working on it and finally getting it all finished up it didn't work. He was super mad! It wasn't until we had someone come out to do a check up on our new water heater that we got it to work. I guess Brandon had hooked up one of the wires to the wrong connection. So thankfully it was an easy fix and now we had a whole house humidifier.
Lastly, Ethan was messing around with some paint on his plate and it ended up creating what looked like a rose. He was pretty proud of it. haha It did look pretty cool!!
