Sunny April

The month of April has been busy and we have loved it! With everyone on spring break a different week the visitors have been endless :) It is great! Grandpa and Grandpa arrived and as you can see the boys were so excited.

Ian and Aaron love to draw and color pictures for people. Ian colored these for Geromu, Ajrou, hunter, and Geropo :) My favorite spelling is Andrew -you can totally she how he would come up with that!

The next week the Thompson's came to visit! Clearly I do not take enough pictures anymore :( I can't believe I do not have one of Ian and Ellie together. The conversation the two of them had was hilarious. They were in their own little make believe world and having a blast. Below is Brock, Issac, Ava, Gunner (Ian's friend we watch a couple days a week) and Ian. It was so much fun having them here I can't believe how old all of our kids are getting. But clearly we haven't changed!

I am also an Activity Day's leader in our ward. The girls that I have are wonderful! They are so smart and always see the bright side of things. I love this picture below because the girls always laugh at my old granny chair but fight over who gets to sit in it. I may or may not have been slightly freaking out that they were going to break my chair...they begged me to quickly take a picture, so I did. Then I immediately told them to get off my chair. In a loving way of course :)

We have loved having visitors and April has been great! Ava is still as happy as ever :) She prefers toys that are not actually her toys. She still loves to eat everything...we can add spaghetti to her list.

It feels that summer has already begun!

We try and do a little cleaning here and there :)

Bring on the barbecues! Ava was loving the hotdog bun with ketchup :) Seriously her mouth is watering.

Love the boys with their kool-aid stained faces. Although I am not sure how these two didn't set the entire neighborhood on fire. Ahhh

While the outdoors have been great we need a little downtime inside too.

 

After a little catnap we usually head back outside.

 Tim was unfortunately working all of easter weekend. So my family was able to come down and spend the weekend with us! We went to the Easter Eggtraveganza  at Thanksgiving Point and the boys had a good time finding eggs. Pictures to come. The next morning the Easter bunny had left each child different colored eggs around the house. I am not sure why the Easter Bunny has not done this before? It was heavenly. There was no arguing over who go what and it lasted much longer. Smart bunny ;)

When then headed to church to enjoy a wonderful Easter sunday. Ava enjoyed trying to giving baby Owen "hugs." They were so cute!

We came home and enjoyed making band bracelets. The boys call them transformer bracelets because they have magical powers that allow them to transform into anything. Got to love their imagination!

It has been a wonderful month! Now we get to prepare the boys and get ready for them both to have a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy....more information to come :)
