The rest of our April fun!

Emmett had his first run in with the corner of a wall in our house.

Emmett is getting so big and wants to do things all by himself. One afternoon he wanted to pull the wagon all by himself on the way home from the park! haha When did this kid get so big? 

I was able to take the boys to get slurpees one afternoon after playing at the park. The boys were so excited and they love going to get slurpees! It is fun to do simple fun things like that with my boys!

Emmett has also gotten really good at blowing bubbles on his own. Although, most of the bubble solution ends up on the floor. haha At least he has fun with it!

We also got to go watch Ethan perform in his 1st grade performance. They had some super cute songs and Ethan was so excited to be up on stage with everyone singing and doing the hand motions that they were taught! It was super cute to watch and Ethan was so energetic it was super cute! He did way better this year than he did last year!

Who doesn't love a little family fun at Costco. haha We kept swinging the cart around like a roller coaster and the kids were having a blast! They kept asking us to do it over and over again! haha 

Catching some rain drops! :-) 

Emmett is serioulsy such a goof ball. He is such a mess maker and makes the funniest faces!

For Family Home Evening one night we let the boys take a bath with glow sticks! They thought it was a super fun Family Home Evening!

Emmett LOVES his binkie!! I will be getting ready for the day and he will come into the bathroom with his binkie and his blankie! He call his blanket his "BB". It is pretty cute and when it makes him happy and keeps him from screaming at me than I am cool with it! haha 

Emmett looks so big with his hair spiked!!

Ethan's first Space Project! He did such a good job and it turned out amazing! He was so proud of himself on how it turned out! He kept complaining that his was not going to be as cool as the other kids in his class because they were doing all the planets. Once he was finished he was super happy with it!

Shooting bubbles!!

Emmett grabbed the squirt gun and started trying to shoot all the bubbles! It was so cute!!

One day, while I was making dinner, Emmett was not letting me get anything done. He cried any time I put him down on the floor. So I eventually just sat him down on the counter right next to me and let him help me out a little bit while I finished making pot pie. Then he wouldn't listen to me and kept climbing onto the counter as I tried cleaning up my mess. So instead of yelling at him over and over again I just let him sit next to the sink and play with the water while I washed dishes! 

Casa Bonita: 

 

We went down to Casa Bonita in Denver with our new friends the Ortiz's. We had been wanting to go and try it out and we had to go down to Denver anyways to get our car's heater fixed. So we hit Casa Bonita and it was TERRIBLE food!! The performances were corny at best but the kids thought it was fun. I doubt we will be going back there again. Brandon woke up at 2 the next morning with the runs which just solidified the reason we won't be going back! haha

Later that evening we headed over to the Ortiz's house to play and hangout for a little while. The boys had a blast with their boys doing boy stuff and running around being crazy and showing off their muscles with hanging off the beams in the basement. 

The next day Wyatt had a birthday party to go to at a sports place and was able to play some baseball and eat cake and pizza. He had so much fun!!

Emmett loves to brush his teeth ever since we got him a battery powered toothbrush! He gets super excited when its bedtime and I tell the boys its time to go brush their teeth. Emmett squeals and runs upstairs saying, "teeth..." It is so stinking cute!!

We have another Spiderman in the house!!! I put this mask on him and he runs around with a grumpy face saying, "Bad guy!!"

Scooter club at the school! The boys were so excited to be riding their scooters around the school! Silly boys!!

Easter Sunday!

Easter morning the boys woke up to an egg trail outside their doors that led them to our room. Once they came in our room and woke us up we got up and got the video camera out and then the hunt for the boys Easter basket ensued. 

The Easter Bunny left the boys messages in each of their baskets inside an egg that led them to an even better surprise! 

Squirt Guns!!! WHAT?? These boys were stoked! 

Then the candy eating began. haha 

Emmett had a basket too and he had a hidden surprise as well. His was this massive Mickey Mouse!! Emmett was so excited about his Mickey! He wanted to take it to church so badly and was pretty upset when we didn't let him. 

After church we had some lunch and then let the boys dye some eggs since we had not gotten around to it during that week. 

Emmett thought it was more fun just to dunk his hands in the colored water and then lick his hands. So gross!! We had actually done the vinegar in our egg dyeing stuff and I can't believe Emmett kept trying to drink it! So nasty!! 

These were the best pictures I could get of these 3 crazy boys! haha It was a little stressful with Emmett trying to take every ones eggs and drink the egg dye but other than that it was fun! haha Thank goodness we had nice weather and could dye the eggs out in the backyard!

After some egg dyeing fun we had our Resurection Egg hunt and talked about the events leading up to Christ's death and resurrection! Then it was time to chat with the Murri's and then we had an Easter egg hunt with friends from church at the park. 

It was a sugar overloaded day but, a good day at that. The kids had fun with all the Easter festivities and I feel like we made sure that they remembered why we really celebrate Easter. It is a great time to remember Christ's atonement and resurrection! So it was a good day! :-) 

Some more Spring Fun!

We are so excited for Spring and all the nice weather to come as we get closer to summer. We have nice warm days and then we have some colder days. However, that just gets us more excited for the warm weather that summer will bring!! So we are just enjoying life as much as we can! 

We sure do love Costco lunch outings! :-) What is a costco outing without some pizza for lunch! :-) 

Put this little Captain America outfit on Emmett and he kept running around saying, "bad guy!" haha He would run and then stop and squat down and point and then start running! Seriously the cutest thing ever!! Also his new thing now is to point his finger at me so that I give him my finger so he can take me where he wants to go. haha 

blowing bubbles in the front yard since the kids would rather play in the front yard where I have to watch them instead of the backyard so I can get things done! haha 

Made some cookies and Emmett climbed up on the counter when I was not looking and started licking the spatula. I can't blame him and yet at the same time I didn't really want him to be licking it because it has all the raw egg in it. Oh well... he has put worse things in his mouth. Like toilet paper that he stuck in the toilet and then pulled out and stuck in his mouth! So..... GROSS!!!! 

Brandon started a new way of getting the boys to wash themselves. The boys think it is hillarious! What am I going to to with him!! haha Of course Emmett has to join int he fun as well and now when he is in the tub with them he will stand up and stick his chest out because he wants his nips (as the boys call them haha) covered with foam soap too! haha
