MARCH 2016

March was a pretty boring month.  I finally gave in and went to the dentist - two cavities and a crown, ugh!  Kennedy had an orthodontist appointment - they just took off her old wire, put on a new one, changed the color of elastics, and told her to come back in 6 weeks.  At the end of the month, Kennedy decided to come with Talen and I to his appointment in Salt Lake at Shriner's hospital to get his wheelchair adjusted.  It was a quick trip- up one day, home the next.  But, it was so nice to have KiKi with us - she was able to feed him in the car while I drove so the trip was way faster since I didn't have to stop and do it.  What a great big sister!!

Our house is full of superheros!!

Here are the superhero costumes that the kids got from Grandma Robin for Easter.  Plus, we couldn't help but put Carter's Superman costume on Talen.  He giggled when we put it on.  Super Talen!!

Easter 2016

I just love Easter!  This year the Easter Bunny left baskets made out of candy!  The kids loved it!!  Of course, they each got new church clothes, candy, and something just for them.  Dax and Carter got balls and squirt guns, Talen got the new Chipmunk movie, and Kennedy got a One Direction CD.  After church, we went over to Justin's house where Grandma Robin had an egg hunt for the kids.  The younger grandkids had their egg hunt first.  Their eggs were filled with candy and coins.  They each also got a bigger gift - water toys and superhero costumes. The bigger grandkids eggs were filled with $$$.  They were good sports and agreed beforehand to evenly split the money that they found, no matter who found what.  The kids had a blast and spending time with family is always fun!

Easter in Talen's classroom

Talen is so lucky!  He has such a good teacher and friends that love him!!  They had a little Easter egg hunt and even got to bring home Easter baskets.  Those cute kids are so spoiled (and they deserve to be!)

To The Park

Decided to get out of the house for a bit.  So, we picked up some sandwiches and met Jay at the park for lunch and some playtime for the kids.

Baptisms for the Dead

Kennedy is now old enough to do baptisms for the dead.  I went with her for her first time and she loved it.  A couple weeks later, her friends wanted to go back and do it again.  I am so glad that she has such good friends!  It sure makes being a parent of a growing teen easier knowing that her friends are helping to keep her on the right track.  Love my KiKi!!  (And thanks to Robin Fielding for taking them!)

 

Trampoline Fun

I love this time of year when we can play outside - not too hot, not too cold!!  The new favorite game this year, Don't Crack the Egg!
