When we first bought these the kids wanted to brush their teeth all the time.

Krew hardly put his down.

Now a month later,

brushing is still easier than before.

Now Krew lets me hold him down and brush his teeth with out screaming the entire time;)

Kali now only complains once a day about brushing twice a day;)

ambidextrous

Krew is ambidextrous.  Some mornings he eats with his right hand and other mornings his left.

He can bat right and left handed, he is a "switch hitter"

He also writes with both hands.

interesting. very interesting.

 Krew always forgets what this juice is called.

Today he asked me, "Mom, is this juiced called punching bag."

dolphins

My mom has these pictures up in her bathroom 

and when ever Krew would go in there he would say,

"Mom Kali's dolphin is happy and your dolphin is sad."

This retired jersey from Connell High School is framed in Coriann's room.

A little history on this jersey that is kind of cool is that

I was the first Wood girl to wear it.  

These jersey's were purchased my Jr. year on Varsity.

After I wore it for 2 years

a few years later Janica my little sister wore it for 4 years

and than finally my youngest sister Coriann wore it for 3 years

and it retired with her since she is the best thing that ever happened to Connell High School ;)

Just thought you should know.

Logan

As soon as we arrived in Logan Janica and Grandma Wood came to visit.

We had a fun family photo shoot from the AMAZING Janica LaRae Photography

and than Grandma took Kali and Krew for 3 days while Aaron, Kolt and I got the house put together.

IT WAS SO HELPFUL!!!!

THANKS GRANDMA, GRANPA AND JANICA:)

 I just took this picture today of the Logan temple.  

I LOVE THIS TEMPLE!!!

It was time to start packing up and saying goodbye.

We went to visit the Barberich's Walla Walla.

Our first plan was to live right by them in Walla Walla.

 The Basin City Bunch.

These were Kali and Krew's best friends in Basin City.

Kali just saw looked at this picture while I was posting is and she got really sad.

SHE LOVES THESE GUYS.

She is still worried about how it is going to work out for her to marry, 

Shayden, Hunter or McKay when she lives in Utah.

GOOD JOB BABE!

In Feb. we made a trip to Utah

where Aaron had 3 interviews lined up.

He landed his first interview.

He is now the head therapist for Synergy.

It is a treatment center for boys.

This is what moved us to Logan, Utah.

We are very excited about this new adventure in our lives.

bounce house

While in Utah we met up with these beautiful women.

and the beautiful children.

If Krew and Jo Jo end up getting married they are going to have a killer scrapbook

of their childhood together;)

dino birthday

Kali and Krew are OBSESSED with dinosaurs right now.

Kali's favorite is Triceratops and Krew's is T-rex.

While living in Washington the kids found the Land Before Time movies and after

watching those about a million times that is all they would talk about.

So to celebrate Kali turning 5 and Krew turning 3 we had dinosaur birthday cakes,

dinosaur birthday hats, dinosaur gifts and we went to the 

dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point.

The dinosaur museum was a lot of fun, much better than I was anticipating.

 Krew and Aaron with the T-rex and Kali and I with the Triceratops.

 Kali loved this statue.

they had fun digging for fossils,

posing for pictures,

and getting eaten by sharks:)

a picture with Kolt at 2 months old.

The kids loved it and had a fabulous time with their cousins, aunties, uncles and grandparents.

cinnamon rolls

Kali was with me when we learned to make cinnamon rolls with Auntie Janica.

Kali just had to watch once and when I made them with her, she was a pro.

She wanted to do it all herself.

They turned out amazing!

and here is a picture of my first loaf of bread.

Thanks mom for the bosch.  loving it!

monkey bars

Before we left Washington Kali mastered the monkey bars.

She is pretty excited about it.

She tries to see how fast she can go and tries skipping every other one.

 Krew loves playing on the monkey bars as well, with a little assistants from Grandpa Wood.

money. money. money.

Monique, a fabulous women whom will get her own blog post here soon,

is soo good about spoiling my kids.

Thanks Monique;)

She gave Kali and Krew these money soaps which they had a blast trying to get the money out of.

10 baths and 2 days later there was success;)

Both bars had 1 dollar bills in them.

preschool

Kali's first day of preschool.  

This was back in January, but I am playing catch up right now.

Kali loves to pose for her pictures.

 Kali loved going to preschool and planned her whole week around it.

In Feb. for her birthday and Valentine's Day they celebrated at her school.

They made fun Valentine's Day folders to fill full of valentines.

She had me straighten her hair for fun, it is only the 2nd time we have done that.

 Her Grandma Wood bought her, her first pair of skinny jeans for her birthday.

  She looks so cute in them;)
