March 16-26 Rexburg trip / spring time

March 17th was St. Patricks day. I totally forgot about it. Probably should have done a cute leprechaun thing but I didn't, and this Christmas shirt was the only thing we had that was green. ha! Maybe next year Ill have to get more festive.... 

It is officially SPRING in Boise! We have had some beautiful days, which mean playing outside without shoes or pants, getting dirty, and eating (a lot) of Popsicles

We went to Rexburg for the weekend. Saturday we went to the show Cinderella, with the whole Webster/Gardner clan. Obviously Avy dressed up for the occasion. It was such a cute show! I know this is one we will have memorized when the DVD comes out.

 Anni doing what she does best....Selfies!!

Chris's cousin, Valerie, has been trying to have a baby for almost 3 years. She finally got pregnant with twins. One of the babies had problems and didn't survive during delivery. But the little girl is a beautiful, healthy little doll and they could not be happier with their miracle baby. They had her blessing and a little party for her on Sunday. She is so cute! and she Loved Avy!! Avy was the only one who could get her to laugh.
We are so happy for Val and their family. Baby Adele is perfect!

We are back in Boise now and these two are back to their crazy little selves.
Multiple times a day Chris and I say to each other, we cant believe how beautiful our kids are and how blessed we are to have such happy, healthy, amazing babies.
(Im at work on the grave yard shift right now and Im really missing them!)

 Jett loves helping me with the dishes. He loves it so much, sometimes he just gets right in! ha

March 1-15th. Birthday and Websters visit!

Happy birthday to ME! I am now 29- last year in my 20s. So weird. I spent my birthday in my robe, home with my babies, relaxing and eating girl scout cookies all day. It was awesome!

The real party stared when my parents came to town the next weekend. We did a lot of shopping, eating and playing with our crazy kids. My favorite part was when my mom and Diana took me to Sephora to get some REAL make up. Not walmart makeup. Really nice, expensive, grownup makeup. Thanks mom! Best gift ever!

Thanks to my amazing dad for entertaining Jett while we were shopping. Jett pushed this luggage around for about 30 min. HA! 

Jetts favorite movie is despicable me. He love the minions. Its because he kind of is a minion. So grandma got him some minion PJS. And of coarse the girls got Frozen princess jammies.

My kids love Grandma Janet and papa Rob so much! They really are the best grandparents ever.

The weather is starting to get so nice. We try and spend as much time outside as possible. Its now warm enough to start making "mud soup" again. A little water in a bowl and mixers keep them entertained for hours!

 On Wednesdays both the kids woke up around midnight throwing up and it didn't stop until around 5am. Every single bed sheet and comforter, almost all my towels, spots on the floor and couch all had throw up on them. Poor babies were so so sick. To make it worse, Chris and I got it on Friday and Saturday night. It was a long long weekend with lots of throwing up, laundry and movies.

feb 15- 28 PaPa Warren visits

Avy got her first hair cut! Her hair is so long and beautiful but it gets tangled so bad. So we trimmed off the ends and it has helped a lot. 

Little Jett is the sweetest, cutest, most lovable little boy. But he is also crazy and messy and out of control. I spend church in the halls chasing him. And at home I spend all day trying to clean up messes. He is such a good climber, its scary! He completely exhausts me but I wouldn't change a thing. Love him so much

When Avy and I get bored we make silly faces and take pictures.

James and Nichole and their family came to Boise for the weekend. It was so fun to see them! We went out to cheesecake factory for dinner. This is the only picture I got because the rest of the time I was wrestling two kids and trying to eat :)
They got a hotel and we got to go swimming after dinner! It was a blast!

Avy had her first dental appointment with the best dentist ever!! She did so so good and no cavities :)

Warren came the next weekend. It was so nice to have him here. My kids are so in love with him. And Chris loved having a shooting buddy.

feb 1-14 Valentines

These last few weeks have gone by so fast. I cant believe February is almost over?!?

Chris and I have been busy juggling our work schedules and being with the kids. It has worked out pretty good with him watching the kids while I work so we don't have to get babysitters most the time. Diana and Megan are there to save me when I need someone for a few hours.

People keep asking me how the kids are doing with me working. Well first, I only work like 2 days a week. So I am still home most the time. But when I do have to go, they are usually pretty good. No major melt downs yet. Avy does wake up every morning yelling, "mommy mommy where are you?!?! don't go to any more meetings!!!!!". Or she will whisper in my ear, "no more meetings, k!" That makes me so sad, but it is good for all of us :)

I am really liking work. It feels good to be back in a hospital, using my skills  I learned in college. And its nice getting a little paycheck every few weeks :) Honestly, the major thing that being back in a hospital has done for me is the overwhelming feeling of gratitude that my kids are healthy. Every time I go to work, every patient I see, I leave thinking of how grateful I am that my family and children are healthy. There are so many kids that have cancer or horrible sickness and have to go through so much. I know that we will have our trials, but right now my kids are in bed with no cords or machines or tubes hooked to them. It really is the biggest blessing to have crazy, messy, happy, healthy children. That is all I think about at work. We are so blessed.

   Watching "despicable me". Jett loves the minions! And Avy loves stealing Jetts bottle. (yes she is 3!!) ridiculous. 

Avy started dance class again! She loves it so much.

This was one day babysitting Madi. These three are so funny (and messy) together.

Just being cute in their morning robes. haha

We have had some beautiful days here. Feels more like April weather, and we will take it!!

Jett is such a good climber. It totally scary!

Valentines was a fun day. We got the kids some balloons and they loved them so much. Seriously, I am never buying toys again because all they want are balloons. We are going on two weeks with those balloons now and the kids still love and play with them all the time!! 

 Chris and I got a babysitter in the afternoon and we went and got a coupes massage for v-day. It was awesome! Then we came back and played with the kids outside. It was great day filled with the people I love the most!

Jan 31st- McCall Winter Carnival

We went to McCall for the winter carnival. It was so fun! We watched the parade, went swimming, walked all over looking at ice sculptures, and went ice skating! We were all exhausted at the end of the day. We forgot our stroller so Chris and I were carrying the kids all over the town the entire day!!! My arms and back are so sore ha!  But it was a blast and we will definitely be back next year!
and here is the overload of pictures.....

These last few were right before we left McCall and we just hopped out of the car really fast for a picture. I swear we dress our kids warmer when we were walking around the town :)

Hotel rooms are so fun :)
