Warm weather

We have been LOVING this warm weather.  The kids beg everyday to go to the park.  It is so nice to be able to get out of the house and enjoy some fresh air, and happy kids!  Addi is also loving the park these days.  She thinks she is a big kid, and tries to climb on everything.  
 Say Cheese!
 Love this boy and all his craziness!  He makes me laugh and smile all the time.
 Loving the swing!

 She fell asleep on our run for the day.  How would it be to be able to just sit in the stroller and get pushed around, while eating snacks, and playing with baby dolls?!!  Oh the life of a child.

Golfing

We had a perfect Saturday.  I started the day off getting my workout done.  A nice long 14 mile run.  We then dropped the kiddos off at my mom's house and Josh and I went to the temple.  I love going to the temple.  All the worries of life and the world do not mean a thing the minute you step foot inside.  It is so nice to relax, feel the spirit, and not have to think about anything going on in life.  We then stopped at one of our favorite, Cafe Rio for lunch.  Not that we don't love our kids, but it is nice to enjoy a peaceful lunch with just the hubby every once in a while.  It was a great morning.  
 We then picked the kiddos up and went golfing as a family.  We originally just planned on hitting balls, but when we were done J.J. kept begging to go golfing.  So we loaded all of us up on a cart and golfed nine holes.  Or maybe I should say Josh golfed nine, while I watched the kids jump in and out of the cart, hit balls, throw rocks in the pond, and have the time of their lives.  Addi even enjoyed herself.  I sure love my family and my kids.  They are my life, and I do not know what I would do without them.

 Cutest little golfer!


 I think we may have a future golfer!!
 Throwing rocks into the pond.  I love watching the joy in my kids eyes just doing the simple things in life.

Pizza Pie Cafe

We went to the Pizza Pie Cafe for a field trip for preschool.  It was so much fun, and the kids absolutely loved it!  They let each child make their own pizza, watch it cook, watch how they cut it, and then of course dive in and eat it!!  J.J. was so excited to make his pizza!  Bailey on the other hand, was scared to death!  I guess she wasn't to sure about the chef's!!  
 So excited, and waiting for their pizza's.
 Thumbs up!  It must be good.
 Mmmm....
 Yummy.  I must say all of the pizza's we made were delicious.
They even let my mom and I make our own large pizza!!  Seriously, they were so nice and we really had fun.  We will definitely be going back there to eat.  I wasn't able to get a picture of J.J. and his girlfriend Riley!!  Oh man, we are in trouble.  This boy is going to be just like his daddy.  He was chasing this cute girl around playing with her, hugging her.  It was so cute to see my little mans first little crush.  I just want to freeze time and not let him grow up anymore.

The Hogle Zoo

We took a trip a trip up to the zoo with the girls in my family and all our little ones!  It sure was fun, and a little crazy at times with all the little kids we have now!  The kids loved all the animals and the weather was perfect.  It was a little overcast, but just warm enough that it was the perfect day to go.  Loving the Elephants.

 They loved the carousel.  J.J. was a little timid as always, so I had to ride with him.
I think one of their most favorite things about the zoo is getting a wagon!  They love to ride around in it, get pulled, and even pull each other in it.  I love these little goofballs and what good little friends they are.

 J.J., Bentley, Brinley, Bri Bri, Baiely, and Knox.  Addi and Coy not in the picture!
 One of his favorite treats of all times!  Cotton Candy!
 Love this cute little thing!
 She loved climbing on the railing.
 Having fun on the train.  One of the highlights of the zoo every time we go!


 She was loving sticking her head out and letting the wind blow on her.  Such a sweet little thing she is.
We had a great time at the zoo and can not wait to go again!

Playing in the sprinklers

We love that it has been so warm outside!  J.J. spotted some sprinklers that were on outside, so of course we had to put on our swimsuits and go play in them.  I absolutely love summer.  I am so excited to be able to start playing outside, going on walks, going camping, and of course going to Seven Peaks as much as we can!

Sleep Over

Daddy went out of town for the weekend, so we decided to spend the night at Mimi and Papa's house one night for some company and fun!  We put the kids in the bath because they wanted to get in a "bubble bath"!  They love Mimi and Papa's big tub with jets.  Seeing them in the tub like this completely brings back memories of when I was a child and we use to get in my Grandma Wilson's tub with all the cousins!  We use to love it, so I can completely understand why they always beg to get in Mimi's tub!


 All three of us slept in bed together, and Addi slept in her own room in the crib!  Although I did not get the best nights sleep, it is fun to have nights like this to sleep with your kids.  I love snuggling with them while they are fast asleep!  I love pictures of my kids while they are sleeping.  Probably because they look so peaceful and like little angels!!

 We had a family get together on Sunday to celebrate my dad and brothers birthdays.  We had some delicious food, good company and lots of food.  The only person we were missing was Daddy:(

Friends

We had a little play date at our house today, and they all had to play with their babies and strollers.  J.J. said "Mom, take a picture of us with our babies".  Ha Ha, I love these kids.  After that I had to take a picture of just the babies in the stroller.  Kids are just too funny!
 She of course wanted to play with a baby too!
 I love this picture of her.  Her Eye look stunning.  I love my baby girl.

 We went to dinner as a family and J.J. had to go to the bathroom super bad.  I was putting the girls in the car, and Josh was over at another car and spotted J.J. peeing on the tire! Ha, I love this kid and how he keeps us laughing.  I wonder where he learned this from?!

Daddy's Work

We went to meet Daddy at his work so we could go to dinner before he left to go out of town.  He was still seeing patients, so we patiently waited for him!!  The kids get excited to go to Dad's office, even if they don't do much there!  Here they are playing and waiting for Dad!
 Cute little kiddos.  I love them more than words can express.  I also Love my husband more than words can express and am so thankful for his hard work to support our family.  I love you josh.

Bedtime/Mornings!

Some of my favorite moments with my kiddos come when we are getting ready for bed, and also when we wake up in the morning.  I love reading stories with my kids each night and singing songs.  I think they love it too!! I love how each night even after we have brushed teeth, read our scriptures, said our prayers, read books and sang songs, that I still have to sing more songs to my little J.J.  He is such a sweet boy, who loves me to put him to bed.  Sometimes I get very frustrated with this because the few times that Josh is home to help me with the nightly routine J.J. still usually begs for me to put him to bed. Therefore, I usually end up putting them all to bed anyways, then I am humbled and remember that they are only young once.  And before I know it I will be begging to sing to him, and he won't want  me to anymore.  So for know, I am going to enjoy everyone song I get to sing to my little kiddos, and every story I get to read to them.  I love you J.J., Bailey, and Addi.  Thank you for choosing me to be your Mommy.  

 I often times hear the girls in the monitor playing and giggling.  Bailey is usually playing peek-a-boo, or tickling Addi!  Then after they have stopped talking and playing I go in there and find this.  I think it is so cute and so priceless that they just fall asleep together.  I always move Bailey into her own bed, but I do love that they love the company of each other.  I know how much I loved my sister, and loved always having a good friend, so I am so glad that these two have each other.  Know hopefully I can provide the same for J.J.!!

 And I love waking up to these cutie pies!  Well, most of the time that is!!  Unless, they decide to wake up way before they should!  Even if it is a little hard for Bailey to wake up some mornings! Atleast she likes the green smoothie I make for her.
