Easter Vacation

































For Easter we made the long journey to Weiser. The kids actually traveled really well. Urban had been screaming bloody murder everytime he was in his carseat for two weeks, so we were worried. But he did great. I had to sit in the back alot to entertain him, but he never cried. While we were in Idaho, we stopped by Beau and Em's for the night. They were nice enough to put us up for the night. Layla loved playing with Echo and Hazel and Porter played really well together. I made Justin go shopping with me to Winco, the best grocery store in the world. It's almost half the price of what we pay in Utah. In Weiser we had a great time. We played games, the guys shot guns, had a Easter egg hunt, played kickball and played at the park. After that, we came back to the house for a late lunch/dinner, it was great! We finished off the day with a four wheeler ride. The girls had a blast and we loved being with the family. Hopefully it won't be too long before we can do it again.

Urban's 4 month checkup

Urban had his 4 month check up about 2 weeks ago. I know I'm a little late, but i just wanted to let everyone know how big my son is. He was 18 and a half pounds, 27 and 1/2 inches. For both height and weight he is 95 to 99 percentile. His head moved up to the 40th percentile. Again he is a massive boy with a tiny head. He is doing really well and we all love him. So far he is just a mellow smiley little guy. Wouldn't trade him for anything!!

St. Pats Party






This weekend we hosted a murder mystery party, "Murder me I'm Irish". DJ and Kate, Justin's cousin Darren and his wife Cari, and our friends from Pocatello Jeff and Camille Miles all came. We had Irish drinking music in the background while we had some killer spinach dip, corned beef sandwiches, and potato and leek soup. It was a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who participated.
We bought the PDF version of the game online. If anyone is interested in doing this party, let us know and we'll email it to you. Thanks.






Disney on Ice









A couple of weeks ago we took the kids to Salt Lake to see the Disney on Ice show. The girls had a great time. Mickey and his friends went on a trip and saw a lot of Disney characters. We saw The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Lilo and Stich, Mary Poppins, and Peter Pan. The first half of the show was a lot more exciting than the second, but most of our pictures are from the second half. Our camera was confiscated at the front door when we arrived and so all of our first half pictures are via iphone. During intermission, Elsie snuck our camera in and so we have some 2nd half pictures.
Since it was opening night tickets were cheap and it was well worth the money we paid, even after spending way more than we wanted to on snow cones.
It was fun to watch how excited the kids got throughout the show. Even Urban enjoyed the show. We might have to go again when it is the princess show. The girls both like The Little Mermaid the best.
