Family Pictures

On the 27th of February, all of my family got together for family pictures. Here is my parents with all of there grandkids, minus Jessica and Sierra. I loved this setting and think it looks so fun with all the grand kids scattered.

The Grandkids, oldest to youngest and then the oldest 4 are holding the youngest 4, all in order. How fun. I think this is my favorite picture. Kenna and Chelsea....2 peas in a pod.

William, Evan, Hayes and Rachel were all born within a year of each other. When Dallin was born, he was the youngest of 4 in one year and now Evan is the oldest. I love that my kids have so many cousins and that they are so close together.

This is my newest niece Rachel after pictures were all done. She woke up when Marianne put her back in her seat and was all smiles.

Dallin and Cade.

Here's Kenna, all ready to go.

Shopping with Mom

Those of you who have young kids can appreciate this. These were a few trips that I had all 3 of the kids by myself, which happens quite often. Of course Dallin and Kenna needed their own shopping carts because they were just their size. Kenna wasn't happy about being squished in the middle, but I was able to walk around Home Depot, without chasing kids around.

Uncle Dave's Chicks

Uncle Dave got little chicks that he actually incubated the eggs and hatched them. The kids loved going over and seeing them. They were so careful when they held them and did really well. Thanks Uncle Dave for sharing with us.

Evan loved to crawl over and pull him self up to look at them. It was pretty safe, because he wasn't able to touch the chicks. Here's Grandpa picking one up for him to see closer.

Evan's 1st Birthday

Since we closed on our house on Evan's birthday, his celebration was a little delayed. About a week after his birthday on the 13th, we had some family over to our new house to celebrate. You can see some of our kitchen and house in these pictures. We love it and I will always easily remember how long we have been in this house because it was on Evan's birthday.He had a lego cake, simple but cute. When it came time for him to eat, we cut off a corner and he went to town. So cut. We finally had to take it away from him or he would have finished it off. Up close of the cake. Like I said, very easy.

Some of the family that came to help celebrate.

Cute little Evan posing by his cake. We are so happy that he joined our family. He is not walking yet, but it is getting so good at crawling. He loves his mommy and daddy and can say both of their names. He can say Kenna or "nenna", but we are still working on Dallin. He LOVES to eat and the ONLY thing I think he turns his nose up to is green beans. What a champ. He is my little snuggler and will give hugs and kisses. I love you my little man.

For his party, Kenna and Dallin helped my make sugar cookies. We had those with some decorations for everyone to decorate their own cookies. They love to help, but Kenna just couldn't hold on any longer. what a trooper

New House

We bought a house. These aren't the best pictures of it, but we are so happy to be in our own space. This was on moving day, poor Dallin asleep. It was quite the process to get in, but we love the area. I will get more pictures when I have the house cleaner, (may be never :) We closed on Evan's birthday, so I will always remember that.The Kids and some of their tricks. So cute.
