Easter 2015

I am a little behind on my Easter Post due to the fact that the pictures were on my regular camera, but I'm trying not to get to far behind. Easter weekend was perfect. It was so nice having it on the same weekend as conference weekend. We spent Saturday at the Easter Egg hunt, listening to conference, and coloring Easter eggs. The girls had a blast at the hunt. Brooklyn had an arm full of candy that she hadn't put in her bag yet, and she yelled "Mom I'm winning." It was so fun to watch them get so excited about it. They had just as much fun coloring and putting stickers on their Easter eggs. Jace joined in on the fun, and enjoyed watching his sisters get so excited. Easter morning came with 2 very excited girls. The Easter Bunny had found them, even with threats that the Easter Bunny would skip our house if they didn't stop being naughty. The girls have been asking for a Mitt and a ball for almost a year now, and the Easter Bunny finally came through. They had also asked Steve for a real Pig and Cow to have as a pet, so the Easter Bunny found them a stuffed one to have until they can have on to show at the fair :) With all the excitement of Easter, it's sometimes Easy to forget the real reason we celebrate. I am so thankful for my Savior and his resurrection. I am so thankful it has given me the opportunity to be with my family for Eternity. I have a long ways to go to be where I should be as a wife, mother and person, but I am so thankful I can turn to my Savior and keep trying each day. We would be nowhere without the Gospel in our lives. I truly am grateful we had conference this weekend to hear from the Prophet and Apostles to remind us the real reason. I love my family, and I love my Savior!

6 months

In a blink of an eye my baby boy is 6 months. I can't believe time has gone by that fast. Before I know it, we will be celebrating his birthday. He is such a joy in our lives. He makes us all so happy. He tries so hard to be bigger than he is. He wants nothing more than to chase after his sisters. Jace adores them just as much as they do him. He loves being naked, and I have to wrestle him to get him dressed. He wants to eat food with us now. No more of this baby food stuff. He LOVES creamy time with his sisters. Jace loves everything that has to do with being outside. He is a major Mommy's Boy, and I would be lying if I said I didn't love it. He's trying so hard to crawl, but I hope he puts that off for awhile. He is already getting into enough trouble with his little bum scoot he's got going on. I sure love my baby boy, and I hope he always know that. 

Teeth

Jace had his first 2 teeth poke through today. He has been so good about it. I would have never known if he hadn't stuck my finger in his mouth. I think sucking on Apples makes his gums feel better. He was loving it. Love my baby boy! 

Hogle Zoo

Saturday Steven and I took the kids to the Zoo. I was so glad Daddy wanted to come with us. The girls even picked their own shirts for the occasion. Brooklyn was excited for the Bears and Brynlee wanted the Tigers. They loved ALL the animals! Jace was such a good boy as always. I just love family time!

Jace is sitting up

How is it that my baby is growing up so fast! He wants to be so big and keep up with his sisters. I just want him to stay little and be my cuddle buddy. So proud of him! 

St. Patrick's Day

st. Patrick's Day was always one of those holidays I thought was stupid and didn't really do anything about, all I ever considered it as was a day to wear green so you didn't get pinched. I have learned since having kids that anything that's fun for the kids turns out kinda fun for the mom too! Brooklyn and Brynlee are at that age where even the littlest thing are so fun for them, and I love it! So this year I tried to make it fun for them. I had lucky the Elf write the girls a letter with his footprints on it, and he also got their green clothes laid out of them. They spent the morning writing letters back to Lucky and talking about him. Then in the afternoon we made sugar cookies, and made green frosting to go on them. I love doing things like this with my girls. Jace was such a good sport and hung out with us smiling his handsome smile. I did consider it my lucky day when he took his first hour and a half nap in this crib. The girls also thought it was pretty lucky to have their mom all to themselves for a while. Being a mom sure is great!

5 months

Another month has come and gone and my baby boy is 5 months. My new favorite quote is "The days are long, but the years are short." He is our little sweet buddy! He's rolling all over, and loves to eat food. So far his favorites are bananas and Carrots. He is getting pretty good at sitting up. Not much longer until he will be able to do it on his own. We loved him so much, and glad he chose us!
