Easter

I thought this was the best Easter picture of the bunch........

Dustin insisted on getting a picture just with the boys, which means alone.

We wanted to take pictures outside but of course it was raining and so we opted for the always springy "in front of the stairs" shot. Oh well. The kids had a great easter egg hunt over at their cousins and an absolutely delish Easter dinner. I think we got pictures of the table somewhere. My mom made it ADORABLE with big foil wrapped easter bunnies that looked like big chocolate bunnies and all their little babies! Thanks for everything mom!

The Tulip Festival

We were so lucky to have grandma Beth come and visit for Easter this year. We decided to head to the tulip festival to check out the amazing sea of tulips and it was as beautiful as I remember!

These are on the way to the tulip festival when we very smartly gave Ivy a See's chocolate sucker.

I have a few more pictures on my camera but once again I have misplaced it! So when I find it.....again.......I will put up some pictures actually WITH grandma in them!

Joseys big concert

Josey had her spring concert a couple of weeks ago. She was so excited because she got the solo in her class! So we had to get a new dress for her! It was doubley awesome for Dustin and I because Maddy offered to babysit for us so we didn't have to take Lilly and Ivy. We actually got to just sit and listen and enjoy! Afterwards we took Josey to dinner just the three of us and we had a great time. She did wonderful and sounded beautiful! Way to go Josey!

the temple

One of favorite things to do is walking around the temple together. So since it was supposed to be sunny last Sunday we decided to get ready for church early and take a trip out to the temple. It was so beautiful!

nerds....

This is Ivy's new hat and she loves it! Grandma Moyes got it for her when we were there last and it makes her so happy to wear it. I took the girls to see Rio in 3D and since then they have been obsessed with wearing the glasses! It is so funny!

Even Ivy loves them!

random....and Lilly turns 5!

Lilly had a birthday......and I didn't get ANY PICTURES!! Isn't that so sad?? We had a party for her on Saturday and we about 10 5 year olds and then we ended up with older"helpers" for my older girls rounding out the kid total to about 16! It was crazy!! And to top it all off, the cat had climbed in the car and someone had closed the door and then the cat locked the car and the keys were in it.....and we don't have a spare. SO Dustin spent most of the day trying to get the car unlocked and it was a nightmare. All I can say is thank you thank you to my awesome brother-in-law that can freakishly fix ANYTHING! So I couldn't find the camera and Dustin was preoccupied and so we only got a couple of pictures. But she had a blast! Here a few pictures from latter that night.

My big 5 year old! This is Lilly in her "robolegs". Many of you know that she has a problem only walking on her toes. So we have been going to physical therapy and she has started wearing these splints at night. Next week she will get the ones she wears during the day. She has been so great about wearing them and actually seems to kinda like them! She thinks they make her look like a robot and so she turns into half robot half girl when she wears them and she loves that!

And here are a few random cute shots of my baby, getting so big!

beach trip

We decided to take a little weekend family getaway a few weekends back. We had so much fun just hanging out as a family and going to the beach and the aquarium.

We had a blast! However we forgot how hard it is to do ANYTHING with a one year old. I think we will wait a couple of years before we do this again!
