This is the kind of thing Lyza does when she is supposed to go to bed
Warmest spot in the house, but probably not the most comfortable
Some people are cool without even having to try
The kids have been doing special chores to earn money to buy a Just Dance Unlimited subscription. Cleaning the table and all of the chairs
Washing walls and doors
All while Mason plays on the chairs
We got a new picnic table (some assemble required)
Zero maintenance!
Underwear hat
Monkey see monkey do
Look at that tongue, he is like the Michael Jordan of sliding
He is also really good at making a mess with his yogurt
Lyza is devastated she has to fold laundry
We had visitors come from Canada and Tahiti. To say the kids were excited to see them would be an understatement
It was hard for Hannah and Ben to eat their dinner because the kids had a million things to tell them
Scriptures are so much more fun with celebrity readers
Uncle Ben got to show off some dance moves
And of course some bed time reading about dinosaurs
I met everyone the next afternoon for a picnic at the park
Mason loved drinking from my water bottle
He is sooooo cute!
Speaking of cute...
Nixon looks a little too serious here
Music time
There was lots of jumping on the trampoline
"Let the wild rumpus start"
Nixon LOVES this outfit he got from his grandma and grandpa (thanks for the other gifts too)
Nixon helped me blow off the sidewalk and driveway
Uncle Ben and I took the kids to free play at the gymnastics place on Friday morning while Kim and Hannah did some Strong by Zumba
Snack time intermission
With some dancing of course
Hannah and I went to the temple that afternoon
Me and my cool sister (the sun was really bright and I didn't take enough pictures to make sure we both had our eyes open)
Lyza got to play soccer with Uncle Ben
Bubble fight!
We went down to the playground and river and made sure to get a sibling picture
And with the big kids
Nixon found us a beetle
Shoulder rides with Ben are the best
On Saturday we went for a hike around Tubb's Hill
My favorite cargo
These two were good hiking partners
I love my family!
Mason wanted to get out of the back pack and exercise some independence and he did great. he made sure to step on as many big rocks as he could and never fell off of the trail to his doom
He even expressed his love for a tree
He didn't want any help, even when he needed it
After that we treated ourselves to some ice cream
Where is my ice cream?
Kim made me share
He was a happy boy
They were holding on for dear life...
I got this magnet board done for the kids
Hannah taught the kids some french
Kim made us this AMAZING Oreo cheesecake
It was hard to get a picture of Mason holding still while these two were here.
Thanks for the visit. We had SOOO much fun!
Lyza had her kindergarten concert this week. She looked so pretty for school
Mason has been enjoying playing with the magnets
And getting the garden boxes ready for planting
Lyza at the concert
The songs were so cute
She got to go out for ice cream after
And a little shopping
These boys are so silly
The picnic table has been their favorite lunch spot
Lyza and Nixon finally figured out how to use the double swing by themselves
I have no idea how she gets so dirty
Mason on the other hand...just give him a cloth and he will clean the whole house
I love having super heroes in the house, it makes me feel so safe
Fun piggy bank that Nixon made at the library
I think Mason and the sand box are going to see a lot of each other this summer
Nixon asked to spend some of the money he had and he chose to buy a Spider Man balloon
They have been enjoying the balloons
Yummy popsicles
Mason got out of his crib during his nap. Uh-oh
Nixon got in a little bit of trouble and the local police department ended out taking his finger prints
Mason loved seeing this cardinal mascot at an event this week
Nixon showing Lyza how to play basketball. I think he gets it from me...
But Mason wasn't going to let his big brother out do him...
These two watching a book on Youtube (apparently that is a thing) was super cute
Our tulips are out
Here is a video of our silly little boy
And why not some crazy Lyza dancing?
That's all for now, take care
