Random Pics of the Kiddos

I had to post this picture of Avery. It just sums up this little 3 year old the best. She is so fun and full of energy.

This is Dominic's new fun place to play

These two are always having so much fun together

Jaeden and Avery went to a cooking camp one day during Jaeden's spring break. It was a fund raiser for a family in our ward who has family in Haiti. The girls were so excited to wear the aprons Grammie Dee made them. Jaeden said the best thing about the camp was she got to crack an egg all by herself and didn't get any shells in her mix.

Scrapbooking Retreat

Here is my beautiful sister Mary doing a scrap book page
Lori was constantly helping me and letting me borrow things to make my pictures so much prettier

My wonderful husband sent me to Utah to go to a scrapbooking retreat with my mom, Lori, Mary and some cousins. My brother Adam's Mother-in-law came as well and was my non-scraper partner at this big scrapbooking retreat, so glad she was there! We ate way too much, sat in the hot tub, went for walks, and stayed up late talking and watching movies. It was so much fun!

It was Megan's birthday while I was there and Mandolyn's was the next week so we had a little birthday dinner party for the two sister-in-laws. I love them both so much and am so glad they are in our family!

This is at Adam and Megan's house in Provo, it is so cute.

Me and Grandma Lois. She was so kind to put me up for the night before I flew back to Texas. I didn't know that I would be able to see her this trip so it was wonderful to spend some time with her too.

On Monday after the retreat was over, I got to spend the day with Lori and her kids. We went shopping and out to lunch with my parents. Later on we went to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D. Lori's kiddo's were so fun to see this with.

My mom bought them bunny ears for the show. Ethan was really hesitant to wear them after he realized it was a head band.

While I was there my parents got a phone call asking them to finish serving their mission from the call center at the MTC to Nauvoo, IL. I'm so excited for them, they leave in a couple more weeks for 6 months.

Cowtown Half Marathon!!

Waiting at the restaurant the night before our race for our carb feast.

We had to take a group pose right before we left for our mile walk to get to our race.

Camille and I ran the half marathon this year. The others ran the 10K and did awesome!

There was a record number of 21,000 people

Woo hoo!! I finished the run at 2:02 hrs

Laura waited to see me finish and take pictures.

Me with my way cool medal. It turns out that if you run 5, the points make a Texas Star so I am definetly going to get my Texas Star :)

At the finish line with my goodie bag

Camille and I so glad to be done

After all the running fun we went to get some lunch and then hit the road back to Austin. I had such a blast with all these fun ladies and can't wait to do it again next year.

Jaeden and Dominic

The best kind of laundry fun in the world- laundry basket rides!

Dominic's New Do

Before

During (this is right before he really got upset)

After (still recovering)

A much happier man a couple hours after that horrible ordeal.


Dominic was born pretty much needing a haircut. He finally got his first haircut at 9 months. I need to learn real fast how to cut his hair. Both girls didn't get their first hair cut until they were 3. I have a feeling Dominic will have dozens and dozens by 3.

Alphabet Parade

Windermere Primary school has an alphabet parade every year and Jaeden decided she wanted to be the letter B. She wore all blue and has butterflies on her shirt. Her "B" poster has bananas and balloons all over it.

Happy 7th Anniversary Handsome!
