Jonah's Easter Sunday blessing and other stuff.

Ryker

This boy has learned how to snap his fingers this month. He was so proud. He told me that a girl at school taught him. Sweet. I love how he just picks things up pretty much on his own. He also learned recently to do back flips on the trampoline, and I remember when he was just barely 4 years old he learned to ride his bike without training wheels. Quite impressive eh? I would love to take credit for all of that but he has learned to do these things all on his own. He just gets it in his brain that he's gonna do it and he does. One of the many things I love about this boy.He has been off track so we have been playing in our backyard on warmer days. We have this awesome sand house, fire pit, and swingset the kids have been loving their new backyard.
The easter bunny brought Rykes this ducky balloon thing and he loved it!
He and Gary made a trap to capture the easter bunny it was a box with a stick holding it up and a carrot inside for the bait. That easter bunny ate all the carrot and left a note saying "Better luck next year" Love, The easter bunny. Violet
This little miss has been busy! She loves having her brother at home to play with. She loves being outside and playing in the sand house. She wants to bring buckets of the stuff into our house and she gets sad when I won't let her. This is the best picture I got of her on Easter sunday. It's the only one where she would hold still.


I painted her room purple although it looks a little blue in the picture. It turned out really cute I wish I would have taken a before and after picture. Before it was pink with a grayish green wall with precious moments wallpaper. Lets just say it looks 100 times better.

Here is one of 5 of the fruit trees we have in our backyard. They are really pretty right now because they have all of these beautiful flowers on them. I think this one is pear. Or maybe peach? I guess it will be a surprise.

Baby Jonah

We finally blessed the man! Don't let his size decieve you. He is only just barely four months although he fits nicely into 12 months clothes.

Jonah has begun to chat and babble like crazy I love it!

There is nothing better than when this little man smiles. Seriously heaven.Jonah and Dad on his blessing day. Isnt that hat the cutest? It used to be Rykers.

Gary gave a really nice blessing in the circle was Poppa Tod, Uncle Tyler, and Uncle Dave.

Great Grandma Colleen and Baby Jonah before his blessing.We had our families come over after the blessing it was nice to have us all together! I didn't get pictures of everyone but here are a few.

We tried to get some of the cousins on the couch for a picture it didn't work out so well but it was humorous to look back through some of these. In this picture two out of 7 are crying and most of them aren't looking.

This was probably the best shot out of all ten I took and we've got a couple cryers and a few are missing!

Easter morning!

Ryker and his basket.

We went to an awesome egg hunt on Saturday at the Mitchell's house.

They hid stuff down in the hollow it is so pretty over there.

Ryker and Violet with the goodies they got.

Baby Jonah and Dad. Next year Jonah can join the hunt!

New beginnings....

Yep, we finally did it! We bought our very own place. We are excited to have something to call our own. Here is the moving truck we used. Can I just say moving is not very fun. Good thing it will be the last time in a really, really long while! Ryker couldn't have been happier in that moving truck, he thought it was awesome. He wanted to keep it forever. Here is a glimpse at part of our house. We moved to Syracuse way out west, and we like it pretty good so far.
The people that lived here before planted all of these beautiful spring flowers! I also see some tulips coming up (my fav)

Ryker had a singing and dancing thing at school. He was singing the song weeks before. It was the dinosaur boogie and he did great! He might just be a natural.

He also got bearemy from school. He has been waiting all school year. He had fun with bearemy reading books and snuggling in bed.

Miss Vi, lets just say this girl is into every possible thing that is forbidden at her age of 2 years! This sneaky little lady got into my makeup and did a number on herself. Isn't she lovely?

She has her sweet snuggly side too. Here she is with her best friend in the whole wide world.

Little miss princess loves snackin, dress up, cookies, and makin messes!

Jonah roo, this little fella is such a delight his smile is so sweet. I just love that dimple and can't get enough of his chubbiness. So scrumptious!

My little shnookums and his kissable lips!

Gary and I celebrated our 5th anniversary March 25th. My we have come a long way. It has been an awesome journey and I look forward to another five years with this guy.

Gary has been ever so busy as usual. He deserves a vacation soon. If he's not working or doing homework he's helping me take care of our munchkins or cleaning. They have a pretty good Dad!

Wrestlin with Dad.

Gary and I on our anniversary.

Me-Things have been busy! I feel like I say this everytime. Adjusting to three kids has been an undertaking to say the least. Moving has sent us into a whole nother world of crazy. I feel like a clown trying to juggle it all.

I wish I could be super mom with an extra pair arms and super lightning speed....
