Egg hunts, treats and the Easter Bunny

We had a wonderful Easter this year. On Saturday morning, the kids had a great time hunting for Easter eggs in our subdivision park. The eggs were hidden so the kids had to hunt for them.

The next day was Easter Sunday and we went to my parents church to celebrate easter with them. Afterwards Matt's family joined us for another egg hunt and a nice turkey dinner. This is the best picture we could get of the kids after church. they were not the most cooperative.

Bailey sure loves her Grandpa Davis

So much to be grateful for this year. Happy Thanksgiving 2016!

bike ride on the greenbelt

Today I took all 4 kids on a bike ride on the Eagle Greenbelt with Grandpa and Grandma. Nick was tired after about 10 minutes and wanted to head back, so the bike ride was pretty short. The babies love the bike trailer and did great even though it was nap time. Afterwards we got to play at the park and get shaved ice before heading home

 

 

Maddie absolutely loved playing at the splash pad

Successful but short bike ride and park day

 

Happy 4th of July!

I can't believe it is already July. This summer is flying by. We headed out to the God and Country firework show last Wednesday and enjoyed the evening watching fireworks with my parents and some friends. Bailey and Nick love playing with all the kids until the fireworks show started around 10pm.

Then for the 4th we headed to Melba with my mom (Trent and Jackson stayed home) and watched their parade. The kids got so much candy thrown at them that it was like Halloween. If you want to see how exciting a melba, ID parade is, here are the highlights....

We headed back to my moms for a BBQ lunch with cousins. Maddie loves sitting on grandpas lap and sharing his food (especially if it is sweet)

 

 Then we headed back to Star to join more friends for the City fireworks show. Nick loved rolling down the hill and they both love playing with their friends all evening. It was also chilly that evening so we huddled under the blankets for the show.... I love Idaho weather.

(Jackson missed out on most of the festivities because he doesn't like a lot of noise so Trent stayed with him most of the day)

We had such a wonderful 4th celebrating our freedom with friends and family. We love our country and grateful for all those who have served to help protect it. Happy 4th everyone.

Nick's kinder graduation

Nick had his kindergarten graduation today.  My mom stayed with the babies and my dad joined me for the program. As soon as Nick saw me he said that it was "lame and boring" and wanted to go home "right now." Luckily it was only about a half hour program then he got to go home early with us.





love, love, LOVE this kid to pieces, but he sure makes life an adventure. You never know what he is going to say or do!

Grandpa finally got him to loosen up a bit by tickling him.

grandpa and his babies

Before grandpa left for California, he had to stop and see his babies. They sure love him. Little did we know that they were just coming down with the hand foot mouth virus. Luckily Grandpa and Grandma didn't catch it and ruin their trip :)

Slow down!!!

Tomorrow is Madison and Jackson's 1st Birthday! Where has the time gone? And with Christmas just a few days away, time needs to slow just a bit. We. still aren't even close to being unpacked....and there is so much to do.

At least we got a tree last week and decorated a little, we made it to a few Christmas Parties, Bailey did a school play and Nick a Christmas program and have snuck in small moments to shop, enjoy Christmas lights and get some hot chocolate.

These last few years, Christmas has thrown us off a bit. Last year, the babies being born 2 months early and this year moving a month before Christmas has really thrown us for a loop, but we are still plugging along and trying to do our best getting into the Christmas spirit.

Grandpa and Grandma were in a Christmas play in their ward, so we went to watch with cousins Sunny and Aaron

And we love going and watching this house's light dance to music. It has been a tradition for
the last 4 years to go by this house. It really is amazing!
