March 1 2014

Ryan and I took the girls on a date to Dallas to see The Little Mermaid!!!  It was so fun!  We loved it and I'm so glad we were blessed to be able to take the girls.  I wish we could do this every month!  Thanks Grandma D for watching all the boys for us! The girls wanted to bring their babies with them :)  Here we are in front of one of the signs.  We had a hard time finding a place to take a picture.  Ryan was there too, he's behind the camera.




Before the show started we ran into Ariel!


Durring intermission I took the girls to get a small snack, and Ryan got a phone call.  When we got back he said go over there and I have a surprise for you and the girls.  So we went over, and Jace was there with Kalisha!!  We had fun saying hi and giving quick hugs before we had to run back to our seats for the show to start.  Afterwards (we LOVED it!!) Jace and Kalisha came over and hung out with us.  We ended up going down to the bottom floor because Kaitlyn wanted to see the stage up close.  Well while we were down there they started a question and answer session with a few of the actors.  That was so cool! The girls had a great time and I'm glad that Jace and Kalisha ended up coming, we love seeing them!!  (This was at the begining/middle of their dating, so they weren't engaged yet)

Sundays are always a little hard on the little ones, and this was no exception :)




The first Sunday of every month is Dinner at the Wilson's and everyone comes.  We LOVE it!!  Grandpa with a few of the grandbabies :)


3/8/14

I got the boys clothes organized! Clothes are ready for baby boy in June. Makesmehappy imanerd loveit!


3/9/14

In primary today they sang happy birthday to Evan. He was very excited and loved it! His actual birthday is in August... but there was no telling him that! Haha. We decided to roll with it and made cupcakes :) a fun surprise birthday for everyone!


3/10/14

"It's not bedtime! It's not bedtime!" I don't think Evan is a fan of daylight savings...

3/11/14

We took Aunt Tiara with us to the beach!  So fun


3/12/14

Drank my lovely glucose drink. Yum (eye roll). Great news though! Today I'm 27 weeks (almost 7mo) and I've only gained 7lbs! Wahoo.

3/13/14

Logan lost his first tooth!!


3/14/14

We had a fun St. Patrick's Day playgroup at my friend Bonnie's house.  She's so great at putting together fun things for everyone!  Here's Logan and his cupcake he got to decorate.


Emmy was scared to go in her room, so Daddy and Logan had fun killing the monsters for her :)





3/15/14

Wahoooo!!! I literally cheered when I got the news I passed my glucose test. Haha. Logan said "good on you baby Jayden, your so smart!" Haha. With my last pregnancy I baaaarely passed the 3hr test and was told with my next pregnancy it was extremely likely I'd have gestational diabetes. Thank youSerena Ashcroft for introducing me to Visalus! It's made a huge difference in my health!!

The kids had a birthday party today and took my phone, so here are some of their pictures.  There were a ton of videos too...



3/16/14

The 3 oldest were supposed to take a picture of something they did durring spring break and email it to their teachers.  So true to form, Sunday night I was like, oh yeah we need to take pictures!  Kaitlyn had made a drum set at Grandma D's (we go there every 3rd Sunday!) and Emmy was holding her cute cousin. I can't remember what I sent for Logan, probably the cupcakes picture.



3/17/14

This morning Kaitlyn got up early and checked the whole house then sadly told Logan and I that the leprechauns didn't come to our house. While I silently cursed pinterest and whoever else turned this random holiday into a thing I put some green dye in a pan and then started making scrambled eggs and asked Kaitlyn come help me. She was so excited! Haha. She figured out pretty quickly it was food dye but still attributed it to the leprechauns. Thank goodness!
 I decided since I went all out (ha!) for breakfast we'd have cereal for dinner. Lucky Charms. My kids were in heaven! I almost never buy sugar cereal. And I made them clean before they had their dinner. Win win I say 


3/19/14

Frozen!!


3/21/14

Good thing he's adorable!! Follows me everywhere...


And at playgroup today Evan with Maylee, her mom posted this :)

Maylee just sat there like a Princess while Evan put in all the hard work to make the thing bounce! #mayleehill #thatsmygirl — with Christi 'Wilson' Dalton.


3/22/14

Taught Kaitlyn how to make pancakes from start to finish today, and Emmy learned how to pour and flip. They did so well!! I only supervised! I love how proud they are of their work. Now they can make me breakfast in bed... :)


Kaitlyn made Logan a special L pancake cause "I'm meaner to him than the other kids, so this can help make up for that." Haha. Very thoughtful of her.


3/23/14

Emmy took some selfies with Brayden during church...



3/24/14

While I tried to calm a defiant frustrated Brayden at lunch, Evan fell asleep. Poor kid! He's sleeping peacefully in his bed now :)


3/25/14

Dalton dance-a-thon





3/28/14

I want to brag on my sweet Kaitlyn for a moment. On Friday the kids had an assembly and needed to be to school early. Kaitlyn got up early and made, packed, and put up the 3 lunches for me as a surprise! All before 7am. She even made me a note to say she loves me. What a great, kind, & thoughtful daughter I have! I love you Miss Kaitlyn Fe!


Met Julia and Corbin this morning at the park/trail! So fun!



3/29/14

These two are so cute together!



Went with a fellow christian to see the movie Noah after the kids were in bed. What a waste!  This is what she posted about it.

Just saw Noah with Christi 'Wilson' Dalton. And as cool as that movie was....it was totally jacked. So many false things. At one point I wanted to walkout. Glad I saw it. But seriously Hollywood? We don't have time for this nonsense. Let the truth be the truth. They could have made the movie cool without adding so many stupid untruths. Twas a bummer.

It was awful. The whole time we were like, What?! This isn't in the bible! Loved this that I found on the internet about it.



3/30/14

The big kids convinced the babies to be their horses and pull them on their roller-blades.  They LOVE it!







3/31/14

Brayden wanted to be a smurf today



Some one crashed on the couch. Had to video his snoring! Haha, poor kid can't breathe with those allergies.

Febuary

2-1-14

Seeing Beauty and the Beast put on by Boyd HS with Ryan. Date night!! :)


2-5-14

Our toaster broke (tried to start a fire) yesterday. Today I was picking up groceries and this was on sale. And it's purple! Tender mercies


For nap today I put Brayden in his toddler bed, but he got out and slept in Logan's twin sized bed!!


2-6-14

Brayden was exhausted this morning!


I have been having braxton hicks (sp?) all day today and yesterday. Darn winter weather, prolly have them tomorrow too. And no worries their not strong just annoying

(So this ended up being a thing.  All through this pregnancy I've had tons of braxton hicks!  I had to give up working out everyday and try to take it easy.  I was very blessed though that I didn't go into labor or have to take any meds for it.  It was very exhausting though!  This had by far been the hardest pregnancy on me.  And yes I know and am thankful that while it was much harder than normal I was still really blessed with a healthy pregnancy!)

2-14-14

Today I got to go see another PBL for Logan.  I really love this Elementary and the great things they are doing here!

Logan's class




2-15-14

We went to a birthday party as a family today and had a great time.  Kaitlyn took this.  Occasionally I still get some cuddles from my big kids. :)


Emmy was so excited to get to hold baby Coco!!



Kaitlyn's present from Ryan and I for Christmas was a Groupon to sip-n-doodle to paint!  And we finally got to go!

At Sip-n-Doodle with Kaitlyn. Can't wait to see how our paintings turn out!!



Our finished paintings!! We loved it! So fun! Never thought I'd paint something I loved.





2-16-14

Happy birthday to my baby Brayden!!! 2 years old today!  Luckily it was the Sunday we normally go over to Grandma D's for dinner.  She made a cake and had presents for my cutie pie Brayden.  He brought some treats to nursery, but other than that, I didn't have anything planned.  I didn't get any pictures though :(

2-18-14

I made a cake for Brayden today.  I think the boys enjoyed eating it!


2-22-14

My handsome hubby got to use his Christmas groupon today!! He had a blast and the kids and I loved watching him!!

The kids on the way there to see him








2-23-14







This happens A LOT at our house!  From the song to the boys being crazy!  And yes Brayden often jumps in and sings with them!


2-24-14

Look what Evans wearing today Aunt @jessica_wilson4 . So cute. We love Aunt Jessie!!  (Jessica's middle school cheer sweater)


2-26-14

The big kids made toast for all the kidos... a little later the fire alarm went off. Brayden decided to make his own toast! Haha. He's so proud. And the toaster is unplugged now.


2-27-14

Brayden fell asleep on Emily, she was so proud!  Too cute!


2-28-14

My little burrito :)



Logan gave Ryan his Batman to take to work and the girls had some art projects they gave him, so Ryan took a picture so they could see them at his work.  I love that he enjoys the little things they do for him!!


We had QUITE the adventure today! Luckily my friend Erin Espy Sexton was able to come save us. AND the missionaries just happened by and helped too. Tender mercies!!! God knows and loves me and sent me help today!

So I walked with the babies to pick the kids up from school and Evan drove their little car. Well the battery died and the extra one was out of juice too. So long story short Erin came and picked the babies up and the missionaries helped pull the little car home (it didn't fit in her van. It's bigger than I thought!)

It was a crazy adventure, but everything worked out in the end!!
