Catching Up

I've gotten so far behind in  uploading the pictures but I think I'm almost caught up! I just don't want to forget our sweet memories! We went and got ice cream one day and Caleb had an ice cream beard!

 Caleb has been so funny lately, his personality is so cute. He loves wearing Steve's tiger slippers around.

 We've also given up on naps. I'm so sad to not have nap time anymore but he's actually been so much better. It's been nice not fighting with him about it. He's usually pretty good during the day. He'll sometimes have a melt down at dinner but we power through it. He's been sleeping so much better at night too and has been sleeping longer in the morning. I still need that time to myself in the afternnons though which makes me so sad about giving up on naps so I'll have the boys watch a show for a bit. This is how I find him sometimes and it's so sweet!

 Makenna and I had a special date a few weeks ago when she was able to come to the Women's Conference with me. We went out to dinner and then to the conference. So fun to spend one on one time with her!

 We've had some beautiful days and the boys love spending it outside. Their is an old barn by our house that we'll walk too and they'll play with the sticks and rocks. They keep waiting for the water to come back down the stream but it hasn't yet.

 I had to make some cookies and what's better than licking the beaters?!

 Makenna, Chase and I went to the movies to see Beauty and the Beast!

Spring Break

 Our school spring break was in March and I wanted to keep busy so the kids wouldn't drive me crazy! We went to Michaels craft store every morning to make a craft. The kids loved it and made some pretty cool stuff. The first day they made their own stamps.

 The second day they got to play with wonder clay. It's like this spongy playdough.

 That day we also went to the Museum of the Rockies. Right now they have live crocodiles. We went with some of our friends and had a great afternoon. Can you see the crocodile in the background? We couldn't decide if he was real because he wasn't moving and had his mouth wide open- but he's real!

This crocodile is NOT real:)

 The top floor of the museum is a play area and the kids love it. This is my little firefighter!

 Wednesday the Michaels craft was painting their initials on foam boards and decorating them.

 Thursday they made these cute owl puppets.

We also were able to go bowling with a group of friends. Who needs chairs when you can just lay of the bowling ball racks?!

 Look at all of these boys- so cute!

Friday of spring break I left for Idaho Falls for the weekend and so the kids got to hang out with Steve. Steve took them to Michaels and they decorated picture frames and Steve wanted to go see the crocodiles too so they headed back to the museum.

It was such a fun spring break!

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day started with Caleb and I helping at Chase's school. It's always so fun to go help and Caleb loves feeling like a big kid!

 After preschool we went and had lunch with Makenna at school.

 That afternoon the boys were so good and did some painting and crafts.

 For dinner we had heart shaped cinnamon rolls, bacon, hash browns and fruit-it was delicious! I sure love all these people, they are my world!

Random

A few random things of our happenings in the past little while. The kids have become obsessed with Uno. We play All. The. Time!

 Also Makenna got a new haircut. It was getting pretty long- she loves her new haircut, and I do too! With it being shorter she's been able to wash it and take care of it all by herself- it's so great!

 This was one Sunday afternoon- we had a lego mess all over.

 We had to go to Helena for a retirement party for one of Steve's drivers so we decided to make a day out of it. We went to the Montana Historical Society Museum.They had a fun interactive area for the kids. It was a good afternoon together.
