Silly Kids

One of the nice things about having your kids get a little older is that they become a little more independent. Brynlee has been doing such a great job at pouring her own cereal and milk for breakfast...of course when Nash sees her do it he wants to try too. He has definitely got the pouring part down, he just hasn't figured out when to stop.






It always cracks me up how Nash falls asleep with his little legs propped up.



Brynlee is seriously such a great helper with her brothers. This is her out waiting for Nash's bus with him trying to get him to wear his glasses. He just got them last month and isn't too hip on wearing them unless Brynlee does it first and shows him how exciting it is to wear glasses! I guess it works goes both ways though because when we went to Brynlee's kindergarten registration she was a little nervous and shy but after we had been there awhile she commented that she wasn't even afraid anymore because she knew Nash was there at the school. She is so glad that they will get to go to the same school this fall and so am I!



Ridge loves hiding behind this dish towel that hangs on the oven door. He is pretty much invisible when he's behind it, we can hear his giggles but we can't ever find him!



I don't know what happened to this picture it looks like it somehow got mixed with some other ones but you get the idea, its Ridge and Brady sleeping at the dinner table. Ridge will never fall asleep while I am holding him, only Brady has the magic touch which is great because then he always gets to hold the little wiggle worm at church.



These three have been so great at playing together...they are always finding new ways to entertain themselves!

Easter Pictures

We lost our camera for awhile but we did get some pictures on Bradys phone of some of the Easter events. These are of the kids at the community Easter egg hunt...the boys had a lot of fun collecting eggs, Brynlee was a little disappointed that they weren't hidden very well.




















The Sunday before Easter we had fun painting some eggs.



For some reason all of Ridges eggs cracked but he didn't seem to mind



Bryn is quite the little artist...she must get it from Brady. They both made some beautiful eggs and I forgot to take pictures of them when they were done oh well maybe next year!

Spring Camping


Before Picture

Brynlee really really wanted to go camping for Spring Break so her sweet dad did all the work to get everything ready and found us a nice warm place only about an hour away at a reservoir state park in Huntington Oregon, it was a great little spot!

The kids were so excited and so were we!















We had been saving the giant strawberry and vanilla marshmallows G & G Whitmore gave us for our first camp of the season! They were delicious!

A Temple In Meridian!

Conference weekend has been fantastic! Like always it was uplifting motivating and inspiring! We are so blessed to have a prophet and apostles to follow. We love them and are thankful for their examples and for all they do. We are especially excited about the announcement of a new temple to be built right here in Meridian! We can't wait we know it will be a blessing for everyone in our little city! There are so many wonderful things to say about the temple, if you want to know more go here if you want to see beautiful pictures of temples go here.
