365- Week 15

04/09/11 My Dodger's boys playing around. Nick was holding Alex down so Cooper could give him kisses.

I love it when they play like this!

No Picture

Sundays are CrAZy! Church is at 9am , enough said. This was my first Sunday doing Sharing Time, I was very nervous. I got called about a month ago to be the 2nd counselor in the primary presidency. Chris just got called to be a Sunday school teacher for the 12 and 13 year olds.

04/11/11

Cooper fell on his scooter and the handle got his cheek.

Poor guy, another scare on his cute little freckled face.

04/12/11

This girl loves smoothies!

And she may still yours if you leave her and your smoothie unattended.

04/13/11
Chloe before school. She was so excited that we got a new electric pencil sharpener so she could earn some extra links at school by sharpening pencils for her teacher.
The things that make her happy!!

04/14/11
Alex and Cooper's new favorite thing to do is take the cushions off the couch and build stuff. This day was a house, complete with beds.

04/15/11

For more than 9 months Aubrey has slept on her back, never once rolling over in her bed or sitting up. Until this day! She kept sitting up and eventually fell asleep that way. I of course put her back on her back after I took a picture. I love a sleeping baby!

Doing good!

I am so glad that Nick is playing coach pitch for one more season. It has really given him the chance to excel. His team is doing really well this season, they have won all of their games up until this last one, they lost 14-15, it was a good game. We have had a break from baseball this last week and a half and it has been nice, but this week starts up again.

So lets go Dodgers!!

Granny with Nick and Zach (they are 2nd cousins).

{little bunny}

I got Aubrey some bunny ears a couple of weeks ago and just for fun I put a tutu on her and had fun snapping some pictures. These are just a few of my favorites.

Amber visits again!

Here ya go Amber, 3 posts in 1 day!

(I am sorry to tell you that I won't be able to keep it up though)

Amber came into town this week for her mom's birthday, so we got to hang out yesterday. Nick and Chloe were very excited that she was at our house when they got home from school.

It's official...

we have a crawler!

Just in this last week Aubrey has taken off. She follows me now when she wants me to hold her. And she is getting into stuff! I guess it is back to putting books back on the shelf all day and keeping the floors spic and span!

365- Week 14

Another week gone.

04/02/11We just got home on Saturday after baseball practice for Alex and Cooper and a game for Nick. I started pulling some weeds and the kids thought it was fun to help. They were trying to see who could get the most.

04/03/11(didn't really take any pictures on Sunday) We had a BIG conference breakfast complete with homemade cinnamon rolls and watched conference together as a family. When the prophet spoke I made sure that all the kids were paying attention. I really liked his message! Nick said that the Prophet said we have to have a picture of the temple in every room in the house. So that is what we are doing. This picture is for the little boy's room.

04/04/11 Alex and Cooper had a baseball game Monday night. Cooper did really well! He got great hits every time he was up to bat and he even stopped some grounders and threw them to first base. And because he did so great he got the game ball. He was so excited!! He even took it to school the next day to show his teacher.

04/05/11

I got Chris tickets to see Rise Against for Valentine's Day. Victor took the boys to their different baseball practices and we dropped the girls off at my mom's and we headed to the Hard Rock. Definitely not my kind of music, but Chris loved it!

04/06/11

Chris loves to scare people. He gets me all the time. But he recently started scaring Nick, so now Nick is in the game. As soon as Nick heard the garage door go up he ran into the laundry room to hide. He has got his dad a couple of times and his dad does NOT like that.

04/07/11

Yesterday all the kids were ready for school, had eaten breakfast, lunches were made and they still had time to play. I love days like that! Alex and Nick were sliding on their bellies playing some sort of game with a ball having a complete blast!

Everyone that comes over to our house asks me what I am going to put in the empty room downstairs. For now I love that it is empty for this very reason. (The picture just said "Alex" and he told me write "rocks!")

04/08/11

My kids have been dieing to swim for months now. It was finally starting to warm up and we were talking about going swimming soon to only have it cool down again. So after we picked up Alex from school the boys went swimming in my bathtub.

365- Week 13

The weeks seem to be going by faster and faster! Where did March go?!

As our lives get busier and busier I forget to take pictures (or at least focus on taking good pictures). We are running from one activity to the next pretty much everyday lately. Even though this week (365-week) is half way done I am going to try and focus on getting some good pictures!

03/26/11 We were sitting in Chelsea's living room talking while Aubrey was playing on the floor. We were both looking at Aubrey, and SHE CRAWLED! We both looked at each other and were like, "She just crawled!!!". It was pretty funny! Chris was sad that he wasn't with me to see, but while Aubrey was crawling for her first time Nick was hitting a grand slam and a home run. I have only missed two other game besides this one since he started playing baseball and I was sad that I missed my boy doing so well while I was out of town.

03/27/11Chloe and Aubrey all ready for church.

03/28/11I love that Chloe still sleeps with her baby! She is getting so big, so quick! I like that in some ways she is still my little girl!

03/29/11 I hate homework!! I know that my kids need it to reinforce what they learned at school, but I really hate this time of day! Chloe, Alex, and Cooper all need my help. Chloe has to read from her book for 30 minutes, Alex has to read his reader a couple of times and Nick has to read his chapter book. Sign this, read this, fill out this log, it takes forever and I just hate it!

03/30/11

But bedtime is another story...I love it! I love that everyone is clean. I love that we can read scriptures together as a family and have family prayer. I love that my kids want to give me a bunch of kisses. And I love that little bit of quiet time that Chris and I have together after all the kids are in bed!

03/31/11I love these shiny little faces all lotion ed up for the day!! I love Aubrey's bed head that she has every morning when I take the kids to school because she sleeps so long I have to take her directly from her bed.

04/01/11

All the kids wore their Dodger shirts to school on Friday because Nick had a game that night. Their team played a really good game and they won 19 to 1. My dad got back from China after the game so we went to dinner with all my family, minus Jordan and Amber at Macayo's. Even Grandma came to the game and dinner. It was a good day!
