april 6-17th spring time

Chris had a last minuet work meeting in Idaho Falls so we got to come along and visit our family for the weekend. Avy and Colt are such good little friends and basically played all day everyday while we were there. 

playing in Gpa Warrens trees!

 Jett knows exactly where gpa keeps his motorbikes and four wheeler and RUNs to them every time we are there. It is pure happiness every time he gets on them

When we got back to Boise Chris and I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. All the blossoming trees and flowers everywhere. So pretty BUT.... Holy crap the pollen in the air is out of control. Allergies hit me hard and I have been pretty miserable for the past few weeks. Allergies lead to sinus infection and red puffy ITCHY eyes. Horrible. We might need to move to Alaska

 hate you allergies.

Random picture of Jett.... Every time we go some where Avy gets her blanket and Jett grabs as many trucks and cars as he can hold to bring with him. So funny and cute.

Kerry had his 60th birthday party on Saturday. The best part was a surprise visit from Warren and Aunt Sonja! It was such a beautiful day and so fun to spend time with everyone playing in their backyard.

Before church we took Warren to see the new Meridian temple being built. It is beautiful and I cant wait to see it finished

March 28- April 3rd

The weather has been so nice and we have been spending as much time outside as possible. This swing has definitely been the best Christmas gift! We play on it every day. Jett loves it so much and never wants to get off. He falls asleep on it ALL the time!

Jett and Avy asleep on the swing for about 20 minutes

Sometimes it only takes a few swings before he is out :) 

Jett's other love in life, the IPad. He loves it so much and probably knows how to run it better than me

We went to a fun play place with our friends. They loved it!

More outside play. Avy has a problem with never wanting to wear clothes and Jett runs away too fast after diaper change for me to put pants on him. Some times it just not worth the fight :)

Gpa Rob had some business in Boise so we got to see him for a few days! The kids love him so much! 

( I said, " Im taking a picture" and instantly Avy and Madi turned around with this pose! No one else cared but these two are always ready for a picture)

March 25-27 Easter

Saturday morning we woke up early for the Chruch Easter egg hunt. It was freezing. We were there about 10 minutes. Got some eggs and a doughnut and were out of there. But the kids had fun and couldn't believe all the candy they got. (about 10 jelly beans ha)

 Avy and her friend Mckenna from church

 Jetts favorite part.

 That night I went to my friend Chris's wedding. It was so fun seeing some of my best friends from radiology school. They are all hilarious and so fun to be with. None of us could find babysitters so it was kind of a girls night out!

Easter morning! The kids were so excited. Jett couldn't get over all the candy and chocolate. It was his favorite part. Mine too :)

 The easter bunny left these silly "egg finding masks". They thought they were so funny. And Avy really thought they helped to find the eggs and wouldn't take it off.

 Avy scored and found some money in her easter eggs! It was her favorite thing from the Easter bunny.

 Sunday naps after church

 They loved their easter gifts from grandma! She is the best

 We forgot the dye eggs the night before the bunny came (oops) so we did it while Chris watched all 5 hours of the 10 commandments movie.

A few pictures from preschool Easter party. Thanks Mrs. Jenny

March 13- 24 Rexburg trip

St Patrick's day. I hate this holiday. It use to be wear green day, but now its a huge deal to have the leprechaun come and leave treats, presents, gold, and make green food. Ugg. But I guess Ill play along....

 I worked a graveyard shift the night before. When I got off work at 7 am I went to walmart and got Avy a green shirt to wear to preschool and some lucky charms cereal. She was pretty excited, until she came home from preschool and asked why our leprechaun didn't leave gold everywhere and footprints all over the house. shoot. Maybe he will next year?

The next day we went to Rexburg for baby Jayde's blessing day. I packed up the kids, movies and a ton of treats and we drove to Rexburg, just the 3 of us! Chris stayed in Boise because he had to work :( It was pretty scary doing that drive by myself with the kids but we did it and the kids were awesome.

Gma Janet got Avy a new mermaid tail and swim suit! I cant even explain the happiness. She absolutely loves it and is pretty sure she is a real mermaid.

Baby Jaydes blessing day

 Later that night we went out to Aunt Sonja's house to celebrate her birthday. It was so fun and good to see everyone. We all love her so much

Swim party at the Americ-Inn in rexburg. So fun testing out our mermaid tails!

 (Avy's new pose she always does for pictures?! so cute)

Bath tub picture to send to daddy :) My kids and their foreheads! I swear we don't beat them. Poor babies!

 Then, the long road back to Boise... I was so nervous but the kids slept over half the way. It was awesome. I had to snap this quick picture :)
