Some of their Favorite Things

The boys are so funny lately. They are definately really getting into certain things. Aiden's thing lately are those little color books with the stickers. He loves to do the stickers. He usually gets more on himself than in the book, but he loves to pack around a color book and a crayon.


Brock is also into crayons and color books. He usually has a crayon or a marker (color wonder markers are my favorite) in one hand and a file folder game in the other hand. He doesn't really like to do the file folder game the correct way. He likes to color on them with his crayon. I figure that's alright though, since they are laminated, the crayon wipes right off.

Collin is into cars and basketball and balloons. He loves any ball and is liking to race cars down the car ramp. They are all so fun to watch play and be adventurous. They love to have me blow bubbles and they love to pop them. They laugh and giggle and run all around. They are so darn cute. Another like of all of them is Little People. You can't go wrong there. We have so many, that they get them all out and just enjoy playing with each other.


Life is still crazy and busy, but I am used to it like that. Paige is doing really well in school. She loves science and to do experiments. Her reading is improving a lot and it is fun to listen to her read to the boys. Kayla is loving preschool and wants to go all the time. She wants to constantly play games with me and we are trying to find other things to keep her busy. I just can't believe how fast all of my kids are growing up and how much they change all the time. They are all at fun stages.

I got a new calling in church. I have been doing the ward bulletin for Sundays. I have only had to do that every other month and it has been nice. I am now the Primary Pianist. I think that is one of my favorite callings. I love to be in Primary with the kids and I love to play the piano, so it is a perfect combination. I am just glad the boys are in nursery now, so I can actually play the piano. They are doing pretty good in nursery, but they still have some moments. Last Sunday, Brock wasn't having a very good day. He would start to cry when Matt or I would leave, and then there was a chain reaction with the other two. Pretty soon all three were howling. It is sad, but kind of funny at the same time.

I am looking outside at the snow right now and I am wondering if Spring will ever come. I am really starting to get Spring Fever. I am tired of snow and cold and I am ready to break outside and start letting the kids play outside. Hopefully it will happen sooner that later.

Catch Up

I just realized it has been over two weeks since I last blogged. I just haven't had the time to sit down and do it. (not that I'm busy or anything) My three 19-month old helpers are always so helpful anymore, that I am doing more clean up and pick up than anything else. They open any and every drawer and empty the entire contents out. They also love the garbage. Gross. I can't stand when they get into the garbage. My new solution for keeping drawers closed is yardsticks. It helps some, but it still doesn't make them childproof.

They love to dance around and listen to music. They love Kung Fu Panda and the song from Madagascar. I videoed them the other day just so I could always remember how darn cute they are. So I thought I would share it with everybody.



I took them in for an appointment the other day and they got weighed and measured. Aiden is 24 lbs. 3 oz. and is 30 3/4" long. Brock is 22 lbs. 14 oz. and is 30 1/2" long. Collin is 23 lbs. 10 oz. and is 31" long. They are all very close in size.

We have had a fun weekend. On Friday I got a delivery for Valentine's day. I was kind of excited. Matt usually doesn't send me flowers, so I was pleasantly surprised. On Saturday night we took all the kids, yes I said all the kids, out to dinner at Winger's. The boys have never eaten at a restaurant, so it was a new experience for them. They were really good and we survived, so it was fun.

Today the girls and I went to Idaho Falls. I had a few things I needed to return and then we went to Sam's Club and did some stocking up. It has been kind of nice having another day to just do whatever and have everyone home.
