We spent a lot of time in the pool playing and having fun.

Mother's Day - lucky me

Gracie got some dresses from Kayleen and set them up all over the room like they were girls and named them.

William built a lego set of The Lorax

Letting my mom, Connie, and Ashley know that we are having a girl.

Meeting my niece miss Scout for the first time.

William found this white, baby praying mantis. It was so tiny and cool.

Just Joseph dressing up and playing with a wand.

My view from across the table at breakfast.

Joseph being too cool for school at the grocery store.

Gracie came with Lindsey, Connie, and I to Lolo's. I have no idea why I don't have any pictures of Lindsey while she was here.

William got stung by a bee on his ear (and Joseph on his neck) because William decided to throw a dirt clod at our neighbors tree that has bees in it.

Bee stings make both he and I swell.

Joseph playing with his cousin Jack and Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Someone was tuckered out during church.

He loves the chicks.

Russ built an awesome coup.

Joseph can do some fancy tricks with the chicks.

Joseph was a big helper building the coup.

Russ to like a 20 minute video of the chicks eating cantaloupe. I think he likes them.

It's a boy, it's a girl, it's a puppy

Boys will turn just about anything into a gun. This is an old broken chair leg that he found in the junk pile in our back yard.

He found one of Gracie's skirts and put it on a twirled for us. He loved making us laugh.

They decided to fill these bowls with water and pretend to be puppies. I got smart and put a towel under them.

Fathers and Sons

 Getting ready to leave. I was bummed I couldn't go but Gracie and I had some fun girl stuff planned.

 These pictures are from Russ' phone and I assume there are none of William because he never stopped moving long enough to be in a picture.

Gracie and I went to dinner with girlfriends and she fell asleep on Jonahs bed then slept in my bed the rest of the night. The next morning we got up and went to get donuts and then she went back over to Jonah's to play. I still wasn't feeling great so didn't feel up to doing much and was pretty bored that day until they all came home.

Blackberrries

We love having blackberry bushes. The kids love picking them and eating them.

I feel like I am going to be catching up on this blog forever but I really want to make the effort to get it done before we start school again in a couple of weeks. So hopefully there will be a lot of posting going on.

 I popped out on Easter and here is my little baby belly

 It was freezing but they wanted to go swimming

 While I was still staying at  my moms I was starting to feel a little better so I would take the kids to their neighborhood park. This day I was not feeling well at all...

 ...but the next day I felt much better.

 Even though it wasn't quite season for it yet I could not get enough watermelon and my wonderful mother would cut it up for me.

 I believe it was April 13 when we decided to go home and I would try things out.

 Look at this cute boy "reading"

 I still spent a lot of time in bed.

 scaling this climbing wall unassisted and very quickly

 William did the Pat's fun run with Russ. It was pretty cool.

 Skyping with Uncle Mark and Aunt Ashley

 Grandma had a chocolate fountain.

 We took a day trip to the Payson area to find a camping spot for the fathers and sons.

 The two love helping me make pizza and stealing all the cheese they can.

 They loved their daily cantaloupe snack that we had going for awhile.

 This happens more than I want to admit. She loves having such a willing little brother.

And I gave Gracie a haircut to help stop her from chewing on her hair, and it worked! Plus she looks adorable and it is much easier to manage.
