Fun with Peter and Jane

It was cold out when the kids were jumping on the trampoline so they were excited when Kim let them wear slippers on the trampoline
 For the first day of spring Dairy Queen had free ice cream!
 This little guy can pull himself up to the couch from sitting
 Washing their toys together after playing with slime
 She wanted to carry three different cereal containers at one, but had to settle with two
 We won an Xbox One S! Pretty sweet cereal prize. Thanks Kim for buying me my favorite cereal (Special K Fruit and Yogurt)
 The kids were pretty happy to get the bubble wrap from the Xbox
 Spider Man at home in a web
 How can he see to steer?
 There has been a lot of flooding here so we went to the dam/falls to see how much water was running through. The kids love to climb on the rocks there
 The falls were really impressive
 These are the same falls July of last year
Here it is in April of last year
Here is a video
Mason loved the fresh air!
 He also knows how to eat from a pouch on his own...moving on up in the world
 Cute boy
Here he is having fun with mamma
He likes playing with these door stops
Unlce Peter and Aunt Jane came to visit us this weekend
Reading a new book with Jane 
 Checking out the big fish at the resport
 Obligatory carousel ride

 Nixon has really enjoyed having Peter here (someone who can connect with him on a super hero level)
 Although at times they had epic battles
 Look at those happy newlyweds!
 They also look good with a baby!
 I think this was Mason's first slide...maybe?

 The kids loved playing Hungry Hippos
 Reading scriptures with Uncle Peter
 Trampoline fun with Peter



Reading with Aunt Jane is lots of fun
We are going to be sad to see these guys leave. Came back any time!

Hello Spring!

Mason doesn't like his walker as much as his jumper

 I think it is defective because he only walks backwards
I feel safe shopping with Spider Man
 He even spins our lettuce
 Puzzle fun with mamma. They are learning from the best
At the library Nixon used to be pretty quiet and just watch the other kids. Now he is right in the middle of the action
Cute turtles craft from the library

 Mason just hanging out (we were trying to watch Dr. Strange, which was disappointing any way)
Mason got in a giggly mood before bed
 Lyza's eating preferences always amaze/confuse me. She requested a salad for lunch this day. It is always strange to have to tell a kid to finish her pasta or potatoes before she can have more salad
 Nixon discovered Nutella and it has changed his world
 Spring is finally here (along with lots of rain, but we won't focus on that part). Nixon got to break in his new Spider Man scooter and dinosaur helmet
 What? Time for a hair cut...
 Nixon made sure he was pinch-proof on St. Patrick's Day
 Hello from inside the tipi
 First time in the sand box this year
 The kids helped Kim make some holiday cookies


 Drivers Ed
 3-year-old check up showing off his physique at the doctor's office
"shoot" is what he always says when he shoots us with web 
I had big plans for doing yard work yesterday and the weather didn't cooperate (lots of rain). So I decided to just work in the rain. 
 Mason liked sliding around in this bin
 Mason has 4 teeth! The top ones are so cute!
Mason still refuses to crawl properly. He gets around, but it is only by a combination of rolling and wiggling. Here is a sample of his "crawling"
Take care
