April 1, 2014

Took all 5 kids grocery shopping at Walmart today.  The kids were great! And exhausting :)  Since I'm
supposed to "take it easy" HA! I can't push all the groceries plus the kids soo, the older 3 took turns pushing and they LOVED it!

When'd my "Nogie boy" get so big???

Played a few tricks on the kids. This was their favorite! Happy April Fools Day!

Cake for dessert!!

 April fools, it's watermelon!!

Found Brayden like this after everyone went to bed for the night, he's going to be such a great big brother!

Saw this driving down the road and made me think of Wisconsin! I miss those days!

and a friend posted this of Logan on FB today:

Crazy night, tornado warning and thunder and rainstorm, then hail, then nothing and then more hail, and flash flood warnings. So thankful for the rain! Less thankful for the contractions...gonna be a lot of babies born tonight! (But not mine!)

General Conference today!!  Daddy set up stadium seating :)  The kids loved it!!

We somehow won FREE tickets to the elementary carnival!!  So awesome!  The kids had a BLAST!  So thankful we got to go!  Here's a video of the ride they got to go on.  (Evan had tickets and waited in line and just as he was climbing on a guy came up and said he was too small.  So sad!!)

For Sunday's sessions of General Conference we went to Grammy Wilson's house. Fun!  While we were watching conference the kids quietly played (or sometimes not so quietly!), and apparently took a video.  Now I know why Brayden and the dogs were so quiet and happy!! So gross and cute all at once.

Kaitlyn visited Uncle Chris today!!  She has great vision but often gets headaches after school, so we're going to see if these help her out. I have to say, I tried to steer her away from these glasses, but she was set.. These were THE glasses she wanted.  Now that she's had them a while I have to say they are perfect for her and she looks adorable in them! Cute, and artsy (She only wears them when she wants to or her head is starting to hurt per doctors orders, so if you see her not wearing them it's fine.)

Ugggh.  So I was cooking dinner and Ryan started cutting Evan's hair.  I look over and it is SHORT! Sooo short.  Way shorter than I like.  Sigh.  At least his hair grows fast.  He loves it though, so that's good!

Every time I'd look at his hair it'd make me want to cry.  But I didn't want to make Evan sad so I didn't say anything until they were in bed. Ryan knew I was not happy about it though!

4/11/4

So Ryan's work had a little get together that Ryan went too.  They had awards that the handed out, and Ryan won :

Most seeds planted

Yeah,hahaha. He's pretty proud of himself...  

Some of the awards were more crass so I'm glad they didn't go vulgar with his award!

Mustaches at a friends Mario party :)

We went to Grandma D's to see Ryan's Uncle Ty.  He was here to receive an award from NASA!  Soo cool! We were out back talking when Ty's chair fell out from under him.  It was so funny!

The Wilson's came over to hang out and brought my (so the kids great Grammy) Grammy Joy with them!! I didn't get a picture with her, but I got these cute ones of Grandpa and Brayden :)

Brayden took off with Logan's glasses and then stopped and put them on.  They look pretty good on him!

Kaitlyn had a concert of sorts at the school.  The video is terrible, sorry!

I am one proud momma!!! This girl, she amazes me! Kaitlyn researched Amelia Earhart and wrote an essay on her then memorized it. Here's her in Glen Oaks living museum! She's in second grade!

Mommy, Daddy, and the boys got to go see her! I know I'm biased, but her poster was by far the best. That girl LOVES any and all art projects.  I'm blown away at her talent and creativity!

And tonight we're going camping!  For Emmy's birthday!  At a lake!  Soo fun!
