4th of July

4th of July started out as usual at the  ward breakfast. It was a bit busy for me since Ryan was on pancake duty. So me and the kiddos were on our own, but the food was tasty. 

That night of course we made our way to Grandma Yanceys

Getting a good picture of the kiddos together is practically impossible! Does Olivia's face look red to you? Yeah it is red and puffy. Sadly in my attempt to keep her from getting red and puffy from sunburn I put on sunscreen that she turned out to be allergic to. Doh.

 Grandpa made this cool bottle launcher with a bit of water and his air compressor. 

So the race cars didn't work out quite as planned. :)

Look at these cute little cousins.

 "Look" Yeah Olivia said that alot!

 When unsure grab the closest leg. In this case it was aunt Natalie

 Olivia's absolute favorite thing was the throw pops. She loved stomping on them.

 Bella says "Look mom a snowman! Olaf!"

Another great Independence Day. I love spending time with all the fam. :)

Family Math

Jaden reading my poem "Family Math"

1+1=2

Mom and Dad, That was you.

2+1=3 So along came little me.

We wanted more so Bella made 4.

5 would jive and Olivia came alive.

Now 5 is good it really sticks, 

but just for kicks

new baby will make 6!

That's right our family is growing. This little mover was crawling all over during the ultrasound already, I seriously have the most active children, will be arriving somewhere around January 14th, 2015

By the way did you hear Bella at the end of the video "Are we going to have the baby tomorrow?" LOL this will be a long wait for all of us.

T-ball

T-Ball season went 2 games a week and a few practices all in the month of June.

Jaden's first game was against some of his friends in our neighborhood. That was fun for him.

Well Olivia found this lovely dirt hole to play in while we watched the game

Yeah it was pretty dirty.

And the last game. It was pretty chilly out so he borrowed Bella's jacket.

Silly kid, I go for an action shot and he stops and poses for me.

His favorite thing about T-Ball. The treats you get after. *shrug* He did a great job and I enjoyed watching him. I hope he gets to use the mitt again sometime since we searched all over Idaho Falls for a Lefty mitt. Err one that goes on the right hand so he can throw with his left. :)

June mis-n-match

Lets start out with our trip to the dentist. Even Olivia got an exam. She really wanted to after seeing Bella do it and she was great and held very still. Jaden had no cavities and got sealants on his molars. Bella ended up having cavities in 4 of her back teeth and we had to go back in for her. She didn't like it but was sooo good. 

 Sara came to visit! We got to meet Quigley for the first time. It was so fun to catch up with Sara. She is now Bella's best friend as well as mine. I suppose I can share my Sara a bit. :)

 Olivia wanted to hold the baby too. Nevermind that he's already almost as big as she is. What a cute chunck. 

 Jaden and Zsolt bonded over video games. Is there any other way?

Here's my little helper girl. I guess this is what she wants for dinner.

 Grandma Potter got these beautiful dresses for the girls. They are soo pretty!

Horsey Ride

My mom's friend Denise and her super awesome daughter Abby invited the kiddos out to ride horses and see their other animals.

Aww bunnies. This really made Jaden want another bunny. He loved petting the little ones.

 Jaden also kept disappearing to see the kittens. He was so patient letting them get used to him. 

The girls were not so patient. :)

 Bella was a great rider and loved it!

 Olivia was shouting "I want ride" I wasn't originally going to have her ride, but she was pretty insistent.

Again Jaden had to be patient and wait his turn. What a trooper.

While Jaden returned to the kittens these girls had to try out the playground.

We went back again the next week and had just as much fun. Thank you so much Denise and Abby!
