Family visit

My family came to visit us. It was so much fun. It was fun to show them where we live. We also spent a couple of days in Wisconsin Dells. The kids loved it. Zach and Grace love the water. They have no fear, so they had to be watched very closely.

Sorry, the pictures are out of order...

Zach got so wiped out the first day of nonstop running that the next morning he said he couldn't walk. He spent all morning on the bed watching TV (always a novelty when going to a h0tel)

Zach and Grace had so much fun wrestling and playing with their uncles. Zach has been constantly asking me when we are going to the uncles house.


As you can tell, I just love a good Italian restaurant.

Zach's birthday and other pictures

Poor Grace fell out of her bed the other night and hurt her lip.

Cooper is getting more and more mobile. He just started scooting forward to get to toys (or whatever he wants, paper usually)

Zach has been LOVING puzzles lately. He will spend hours doing them. He is pretty good at them too.

Zach got a haircut this last weekend. Mark buzzed it!
Zach turned 4 yesterday! i can't believe he is four. Time is going by way too fast.


Grace was so tired yesterday. She didn't take a nap (about 15min in the car). She usually takes 2 1/2 - 3 hr nap in the afternoon.

HOT

It has gotten really hot here! It was over 100 degrees, which is pretty miserable without AC. We knew the AC didn't work when we bought the Town Home but never got around to fixing it. We got desperate enough and had it fixed today. HOORAY for a cool house!





Sunday Pictures








Block Party and Rhubarb Days. On Friday and Saturday our Town celebrated Rhubarb Days. Friday afternoon and evening they had a block party with games and food. They kids had a blast. Zach's favorite thing was the bounce house. He spent about an hour in there. It was so hot and humid though that he had to come out every few minutes to catch his breath and cool off.
I just had to show a picture of our patio garden. I hope it grows well. Some things look good others not. In any case it is really fun for me to have a Garden.

Cooper??

This is Zach when he was Cooper's age.


I don't think Cooper looks as much like Grace at this age but still wanted to post pictures of Grace at Cooper's age.

other pictures

I thought I would post some pictures of all of us since i have posted a lot of pictures of Grace Lately.



I had the best birthday ever. I went to the temple and took a nap and just hung out at home while Mark took care of the kids and pampered me!!

Grace's Birthday

I think Grace had such a fun day. I sure did!! Grace was so cute while opening presents, she would try on every outfit she got before opening another present. She got a handfull of much needed cloths! She didn't really have anything that fit her. Thanks for everyone that sent her presents. Below is her fashion show.



her cloths before opening presents.


Grace loves cloths. She dresses her self and will change multiple times a day. We absolutely love her! But can't believe she is 2!

Spring Dress

I am very pleased with this Dress I made for Grace. (Thanks for the pattern Aubrey!)

Children's Museum

We went to the Children's Museum for Grandma Taylor this weekend. The kids had so much fun running around with Grandma. We ended up spending about 5hours there!! Such a fun place.


The dragon is made of legos. They had a whole room full of legos to play with, displays, and everything lego you can imagine.

Easter

Easter morning with the kids.

Easter Egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's

Mark and I both think that this was the funnest holiday with the kids so far. Zach had so much fun! Unfortunely, the kids ate way too much junk! Neither one of them ate much Sunday or Monday besides candy and this morning Grace threw-up! I'm pretty sure it was from all the junk and no good food in her.

Grace

It is so fun to have a girl to dress up!!
