"You mean, this blog doesn't write itself???"

Well, I thought maybe if I waited long enough my computer would just take over for me and upload all my pictures and write something interesting to go with them but apparently, that is not how it works. BUMMER! Here is my attempt to catch up. . .

Happy 6th Birthday Noah!

Noah turned 6 on the 23rd and we celebrated by having his friend Jaden and his family over for dinner and fun.  The highlight was the Pinata.
Noah picked out the Darth Vader Pinata and we hit it with a lightsaber.  The kids loved it!

Just before the Dark Lord met his DOOM!
And Darth Vador is defeated!
He was so excited, he had to hold his breath while we sang to him!
Happy Birthday Buddy!  It's been a fun 6 years!!! I hope we have many more!

He's a Biker-Dude!

Let me just start by saying that Billy and I have been trying to get Noah to learn how to ride a 2-wheeler without training wheels for over a year now and he has refused to try.  Well a few Saturdays ago we were working in the Garage and he got out his bike and started playing with it.  Well within about 15 minutes he was totally riding it and we didn't help him at all, we tried, but he wouldn't let us.  He is so Billy!!!
If you are wondering why he is riding a pink bike, it's because we realized that the bike that he was supposed to learn on over a year ago, was now too small, so he used Lucy's.


(Just for fun, here's one of Brooklyn)

Two-Wheeler

"Catch!!!"

One Sunday afternoon, while I was off at choir practice, Brooklyn and Noah decided to play a little catch. (I have to give the credit to Billy for these pictures) 
Brooklyn got herself ready to go. . .
You gotta face it, this girl has style!!!

Love the tongue out, she totally gets that from her Dad.
And check out that follow through!  I think we may have a future pitcher!  

Easter

This year Easter fell on the same Sunday as General Conference so we had a fun relaxing day.  We started the morning off with Cinnamon Rolls, Yummy!  And then we cooked a Turkey, cheesy potatoes, and rolls for dinner.  It was all very good.  And of course in between all that cooking we watched conference and played games as a family.  It was a great day!

Diggin' for Dinos

Noah got a fun dinosaur kit for Christmas and we finally got out the part where you get to dig for dinosaur bones in a block of sand.  Noah and Brooklyn had a blast.  Many of you are probably wondering why I would post about this, but it is pretty rare these two to get along for more than 2 minutes let alone 20 so I thought this was pretty amazing.
