Easter Pictures

A couple of weeks ago, I braved the photo studio with my 5 darlings. I took my mom along to help me with the craziness of getting pictures. Matt doesn't really like to go, so my mom was more than happy to tag along.

I am so happy at how all of the pictures turned out. When I got their Easter outfits, I just knew I wanted to take them and get some new pictures. They are so dang cute and I love how they all coordinate and match. I always go to JC Penney's. They are so good to work with and the pictures always turn out so well. Anyways, here are some of the pictures. There are also updated pictures of each of the kids along the sidebar.

Girls Weekend

What a fun weekend I had. On Friday, I was able to drive down to Perry, UT with three of my high school friends and we met up with 4 others at our friend Emily's house. We had the best time. We ate, talked and laughed until we cried, stayed up way to late and shopped. All in all it was the funnest thing I have done in a long time. After 14 years, we kind of picked up where we left off. We got caught up on everything and shared a bunch of old memories too. I was so lucky to have such wonderful friends all through high school and even into college. We were missing some of our group of friends, and hope that over the years, since we are going to continue to get together, they can all join us. Thanks Emily for hosting and thanks to you all for such a fun and memorable weekend. You are all wonderful friends.

Thanks to Matt, he was able to spend the weekend with the kiddos. They had a wonderful time and didn't seem to miss me too much. I realized I shouldn't have stayed up so late though, because I was too exhausted to do anything with them when I got home.

If Only Daddy Knew

Oh, the things the boys do while Matt is at work. They love to play with the girls Polly Pockets and even barbies once in awhile. They are also loving dolls and pushing them around in strollers or buggies. They love to follow Paige and Kayla around with a doll. It is so funny. Matt doesn't like when they play with the girls things, but I think it is so cute and funny.

Brock, screaming because he is so excited.

They are also way into cartoons and movies. Aiden especially loves to watch t.v. His attention span for t.v. is much longer than Brock and Collin, but they all enjoy it.

I am just so amazed at how much they change each day. They are discovering so many new things and love to follow the girls around and do what they are doing. We changed the girls bedroom around the other day and Aiden and Brock found their Leapsters. Those are items we usually have hidden, because the boys love to get them. Well they were found and when I went upstairs this is what I found. Luckily I was able to run and get the camera before they moved.

I am so glad that they have each other to play with and keep each other entertained. It has been nice the last couple of weeks, because I have actually been able to get some good scrapbooking time in. My goal for this year is to get everybody's scrapbooks up to date. We will hopefully make this goal and then I can hopefully just stay caught up. For any of you who don't digital scrapbook, can I just say that is something you should learn how to do. It is so fun and so addicting. It also is cheaper and takes up so much less space.

We are looking forward to a fun weekend. My sister and her girls are coming up to see all of us and hang out and play. Paige also has a half day of school today and no school on Monday because of a new trimester. It should be lots of fun.
