LOVING the warm weather

Yes, I know some people can't stand that it is 100 degrees in the spring - but we are really enjoying it. We love to be outside with the kids, and they love to play in the water. Delaney and Vincenzo (our neighbors) joined us for a fun day outside on the slip-n-slide. Cameron thought that it was the best thing ever! Looking forward to more fun and hot days in the summertime!

No really....Cameron is walking!

It's about time - check out our big boy getting around! He is such a cute kid...we love having him around. He gives the best cuddles ever and always has a smile on his face. He wants to be just like Kylie and Chad and lights up whenever they are around! He is so proud of his new found independence!

Easter Day Pictures

Easter morning was so much fun with the kids. We actually had to calm Kylie and Chad down and remind them that there were other kids looking for eggs too! They got so excited that they started to yell at each other and it became a fight to see who could get the eggs first. It's pretty funny to hear me yelling at them on our Easter video. (Nice). I guess this is the first of many crazy Easter egg hunts now that our kids are getting older.

We spent the morning having brunch with my family, went to church (and Kylie gave a great talk in Primary), and then had dinner with David's family. It's always a long day, but we had a great time. Here are some pictures of our Easter day!

Easter

Easter time was great this year and as busy as ever! Chad participated in an Easter parade at school, we enjoyed a HUGE Easter party with Chad's friend Sal (from preschool), and we decorated lots of eggs.

Singing the Peter Cottontail song!

I love this picture - Chad seriously loves school!

This is Chad's friend from school Sal. His parents host an amazing Easter party every year for their friends and family.

Cameron loves bubbles!

Having fun in the bounce house!

We had a great day!

Coloring Easter eggs....actually one day after Easter. (Too busy!)

Baby Birds

Apparently, the roof of our patio cover in the back yard is a great place for a bird to make a nest. This is the second year in a row that we have watched birds create a nest, lay eggs, sit on them for about a week and a half, and then the eggs hatch. It has been so much fun to watch, and our kids are learning a lot. There were four baby birds this time, and our kids watched them get bigger quickly, and got to see the mommy bird gather up food and worms and drop them into the babies mouths. Unfortunately, we missed their first flight from the nest. One day we came out to check on them, and they had already left and haven't come back since. Check out our photos!

French Braids!!!!

Over Spring Break we had some time to play around with Kylie's hair. After trying a couple of times, I discovered that I actually can french braid. I have always tried and it has never worked out. I don't know what happened - I guess I just figured it out. This has always been something that I wanted to learn how to do, so as you can see, I am very excited! It's been fun for Kylie to have new hair styles now that I can french braid! Next, I need to figure out how to french braid my own hair! (Yeah right).

Spring Break

Yes...we are finally getting around to updating our blog. Actually, David wrote the last few, so now I guess it's my turn to update everyone on what we have been up to. Spring Break was almost a month ago and it was fabulous! We didn't have any set plans to go anywhere or do anything and it was very relaxing. We ended up doing a little bit of spring cleaning and organizing closets, hanging out at home, going to the park with friends from Vegas, staying a night at an LAX hotel to watch airplanes and swim, and having boys and girls day out. We had a great week...here are some pictures....

Cameron can not get enough of the slide. Chad gave

mom and dad a break and decided to take him down

himself!

Kylie is getting really good at the monkey bars,

and she has blisters all over her hands to prove it!

Tyler and Christina were here visiting from Vegas. It was

fun to play with their little Kiersten at the park. The kids

had a great time!

It was so nice to have 100 degree weather so that we
could be outside and swim! The Sheraton Hotel at LAX
was awesome (especially for David). We could see the runway
from our room and could watch airplanes non stop. Our kids
really enjoy watching airplanes with their Dad, and are learning
to recognize a few when they see them in the sky!

Kylie and Mommy had a "Girls Day Out" and went to

see the Hannah Montana movie on opening day. We

both (seriously) loved the movie and had a great lunch

afterwards. Can't wait to go out again!

Later that day is was Chad and Daddy's turn.

They were off to Castle park to miniature golf,

play video games, and ride some roller coasters.

I know that they had a great time because Chad

has asked about 80 times since then to go back so

Mommy and Kylie can see how much fun it was!
