What happened!!!

How did this start from this...

and get to here?!!

It is still surprising to me that I have a 7 year!! He just finished up 1st grade and is so excited that everyday will be like Saturday!! He has learned so much and gotten so big! It is fun watching him grow and learn new things. He loves to tease his brothers (which drives us crazy). His brothers look up to him, and try to copy everything he does (sometimes not very good things).  We are so happy he is part of our family, and are looking forward to new experiences with him.

For his birthday we took him to dinner at Banditos with just me and Jason.  It was fun to have some one on one time with him. After our family came over and we celebrated with presents and cake and ice cream.

Thanks for everyone who came and celebrated with us!

Happy Birthday Jaxon!!

What a fun day we had with Jaxon!! I can't believe he is already 5. Just in the last month or so Jason and I have noticed how much he has grown up. He loves to carry around little toys with him and collect little things.  Everyone sure knows him because he got a lot of fun little toys to play with. Thanks everyone who came and showed Jaxon their love!! Before his party Jason and I took him to dinner, he chose Red Robin.   He was so excited to be the only one and have all of our attention.  He had a grin on his face the whole time. He chose "faghetti" and loved it, but was ready to get back for his party! We kept it simple, we opened presents and had cake and ice cream!

My very talented friend made his "race car" cake!

He loved it!

I am surprised I got a picture without all the kids around him!!

Blowing out the candles!! I love those cheeks!!

We love you so much Jaxon and we are so happy that you are a part of our family!!

Jaxon and Steven turn 5

Jaxon is lucky enough to share a birthday with his best friend Steven.  His mom and I decided to do a joint friend party for them. They wanted a cars party.  I love that we both wanted it low key and simple, and the kids had a blast!!

We decorated cars

We watched Cars 2

I love that they had to sit by each other!

The front view. They also had popcorn and candy to eat while they watched.

We drank some "fuel"

Opened presents

"Spare Tires"

They loved their "spare tires"

Baby cereal

Chloe has not figured our whether she wants baby food yet, she just hasn't figured out how to swallow it. While I was feeding her she sneezed with a mouth for of cereal and here was the result!!! She looks so confused, ha ha.

Easter

Always have to remind them to open them after!

That monkey loved the Easter egg hunt too!!

Sorting out the loot!!

As always we had a wonderful Easter spending time with our family! My mom always has a lot of eggs for the kids to find!!! What a wonderful time of year to think about our Savior and his resurrection. On Easter Sunday the boys sang in Sacrament meeting, we rested then went to Ryan and Jana's for some yummy soup and Jana did the resurrection eggs with the kids. It was wonderful!!

Kangaroo Zoo

My sweet Jaxon!!

The boys were more than happy to pose with their prize monkey's!!

Chloe had a lot of fun too!!

Love his face!!

In Heaven!!

This cracked me up, that is Brycen at the front of that line.  All the kids were so patient

We went to Kangaroo Zoo with Jana and Blake during Spring break.  The kids had so much fun and were sweaty and completely worn out after 3 hours of non-stop jumping, climbing, and sliding.  I loved that they all tried to stay together, especially Blake he was so happy to follow Brycen around and help him as much as he could. That made things a lot easier for me because I couldn't get on the toys and I had Chloe to.

My Jaxon

From the 1st day we brought Chloe home Jaxon has been doing this; he takes her hand and just rubs is lips back and forth on it. So sweet!! He loves his little sister so much, he can't not get enough of her.
We went to the firestation for preschool!

We did some water color painting!

I know I said this was about Jaxon, but I couldn't resist putting this sweet face on here. So melts my heart! Last night while I was rocking her before bed I was singing to her and it was so cute because she was singing right along with me and smiling.

Chloe's protector!!!

We are so proud of Jaxon he finally conquered his fear and got on the bike with training wheels yesterday!! He was so proud of himself. I can't believe he will be going to Kindergarten in the fall!! He has grown up so much in the last year!!

Projects, mischief, and 3 months

Tyler had to read a non-fiction book and do a project on it!! He was so proud of it, and we loved that he learned a lot while doing it. His teacher liked it so much that they recorded him talking about it and it will be on the morning announcements for everyone to see. He was so excited when he got in the car after he did it. We are so proud of how much Tyler is learning and how well he is doing at school. I love hearing how much his teachers love him!
Brycen disappeared one day while I was feeding Chloe, and this is what I found!! He thought he was so funny!! Little stinker!!

Chloe is now 3 months and the poor thing has her first cold. She looks misrable, but she has not cared at all. She is so content!!

I tried to get some cute pictures of her, and this is all she would do. She loves her hands!!

Love that she and Tyler have the same dimples!!!

P.S I know I did not get any pictures of Jaxon but there will be some soon. He loves his little sister so much and does a really cute thing with her that I need to get on camera.
