Lunch Time

Today was one of those days when nothing special happened, but it was so enjoyable none the less.

Brooklyn is eating more baby food- she isn't a huge fan of veggies, but I am being a stubborn mama and insisting that she eat them (I am hoping that this will help combat the pickiness in the future...fingers crossed).

James was pleasant the entire day and loved making Brooklyn laugh.

I took the kids to the grocery store and James walked beside the cart the whole time without needing any reminders to not touch/stay by the cart/not to climb on the cart/etc. (which is rare).

James taught the FHE lesson about the 10 virgins and did a great job.

For the activity we went to a hill two minutes from our house and rolled down it over and over again- something that James couldn't get enough of.

Matt and I were able to spend some time cuddling by ourselves before he had to start studying for his two tests tomorrow (good luck honey!)

Here are some pictures of the kiddos from lunch:

Tulip Festival

I am SO glad that Kelly called me up last minute and asked if we wanted to go to the Tulip Festival with them- I LOVED it! It was gorgeous and we all thoroughly enjoyed it! The highlight of it all was watching James ride the pony. It was one of those moments that I want to always remember- he was enamored with the pony. He was so excited to get on it and when he was all strapped in he started stroking it and then leaned over and talked to it for a few minutes- that moment completely tugged at my heart strings! It was worth every penny (Matt even agrees and he was the one that was reluctant to pay for it). I am so excited to go again next year!

April in Review

April came and went so quickly! So many fun things happened- Brooklyn learned to sit up, Matt had a birthday, Grandma-great, Grandpa-great, Stu and Kristin came to visit, we went to the Tulip Festival, General Conference, Easter and lots of days at the park! I have been a slacker at taking pictures, but here are some from the past month!

Brooklyn fell asleep while we were reading to James

I LOVE her hands!

And her feet :)

Brooklyn learned to sit up! Now we are trying to teach her to crawl :)

Cute kiddos

Day before Easter- James loved dying eggs... I forgot to do Cascarones- I am thinking of doing them for cinco de Mayo to make up!

Brooklyn sat in James' seat while we dyed eggs

Easter morning- James was finding the 38 eggs that were hidden around the house- this year it was so much fun because he ran around everywhere looking for them and got so excited when he found each one- he was just as excited to find the 38th one as compared to the 1st one!
