The Month of March

This month has been a crazy one for us. It seems like everyday is so busy and packed full of 'things to do'. I gave a talk in Church this month, played the piano for choir one week, and gave a Relief Society Lesson another week. That preparation alone was difficult for me to handle. On top of that, Doug is busy with his calling and work. We also had Spring Break last week, so we attempted to make it fun.
On Monday we went to Sea World, which I'll post later because it's on another camera. The kids had so much fun. Their smiles when they saw the dolphins and Shamu do tricks was the best, even though Sawyer didn't want to be there much. Tuesday we just played at home and they bought a toy with their money at the store. Wednesday we attempted to go to the zoo, but it was too crowded and we couldn't get in, so we instead went to lunch with Dad, which they love more. Thursday we played outside and bought Ceiling fans. Doug took Friday mostly off, to ceiling fans in and play with the kids. We also played at the school playground.
Saturday we had Easter egg hunt and had people over for a bbq. We had a really fun week and I was probably the most sad to see Julia go back to school, though she loves it. I guess that's about it for the month of March. Oh I forgot to tell y'all that I'm starting today to teach piano to our little neighbor girl, which will be fun. What a fun and busy life.

Coloring of the Eggs

We colored the Easter Eggs on Sunday because we

ran out of time on Saturday, so they weren't included in the hunt. The kids don't want to eat them, but they sure like coloring them. If you're wondering where Madisen is, she is in time-out for throwing a tantrum and Sawyer is once again napping. I guess we do all our fun activities while he's sleeping, it's more peaceful.

Easter Outfits!

Here are there cute Easter outfits from Grandma, Sawyer seems to always be napping when we take important pictures.

The Hunt!

The kids had so much fun finding their eggs, even Sawyer crawled on the not very soft grass for the first time.

Reading Time with Grandma!

Here's a picture of Julia reading with Grandma

Clark on the phone. They have the same book and they were taking turns reading pages. Julia loves to read and loves reading with Grandma.

Sunday Morning

A couple of Sundays ago, I was getting ready for Church while the kids played upstairs. They called me up and it was so cute, they were playing "Jesus". They made a manger and then put people and stuffed animals around. Then Julia drew a star and they dressed up. Madisen

wanted to sing "Silent Night", so we did. If you look closely you'll be able to see the dinosaur and rescue heroes looking at baby Jesus. What good kids I have.

Sawyer is One!

March 2, 2008


Sawyer is now One year old! We celebrated and he started out pretty clean and tidy, but ended up really messy. He didn't like eating the cake much, but he loved playing in it and wiping it on his face.

Doug picked out the cake. I was just going to make cupcakes, but then Doug saw the "famous Chocolate Cake" at Costco. You know what I'm talking about, that huge one that no one really needs to eat. But yes, Sawyer needed, he said. We had to find another family to give away half the cake on Sunday evening or we would have to jog to Utah and back.

We're getting smarter with presents. Right now I currently put away half of their toys, not that you could tell that from looking. So for Sawyer's birthday gift, he got Madi's winnie the pooh car that you push around or ride on. He loves it and walks behind it all day long. But what was cuter, was Julia, Spencer, and Madisen's gifts. They each decorated white paper, found an old toy they said they didn't want and then wrapped it up. I think Sawyer ended up with about 6 gifts. It was really cute. They all ended up "helping opening the gifts" which they loved too. It was a fun day.




Sawyer's a really good baby. He is the best sleeper, better than the other three. And he loves his naps, but I love them more.
