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;)

St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day

 I decided to make it a tradition in our family that the kids can have Lucky Charms once a year on St. Patties Day;)

 The kids LOVED IT.  They just wanted to pick the marshmallows out.
When Kali ran to get something Krew started picking her marshmallows out of her bowl.
I remember doing the same thing when I was little, so I let them do it.

 Kali remembered that we had done a scavenger hunt in Hawaii on St. Patrick's Day to look for the leprechauns pot of goal, so that will be another tradition.
Kali just loved it, after we had finished she wanted to do it again.
