Where did April go?

April was a CRAZY month for us. I sometimes don't even know how we manage to fit so much into one month. I guess as time goes by you just start getting used to being busy ALL the time. I think I have almost forgot what it's like to have a day that we don't have something that we have to do. But the truth is I LOVE IT! Yes, sometimes I get tired and maybe even a little grumpy (only if I miss a meal), but I love living every day for my family. I am so lucky to have Kwinton and our kids. There are a ton of pictures in this post. Sorry, but I have to post pictures of everything!

Cali lost her first tooth this month!
She was so brave.

Gabe has had a few baseball games. This picture is funny
because it looks like he is making a great play or something
but in actuality he was dancing in the outfield!

We have to hide behind the dugout at the games
because it is so freaking cold!!!!

I went on a field trip with Gabriel. This is him and
his best friend Whitney on the bus.

We had an Easter egg hunt at my moms on the
Saturday before Easter. Ready.....set....GO!

Gabriel finding the GOLDEN egg!

Thanks mom for doing so much for our kids!
Again....it's freezing in April!

I snuggled with Kwinton J.

Easter Morning!! Cole hates waking up. Haha!

Cali loved the GIANT chocolate bunny!

Gabe looking for his Easter basket. ( The E.B.
always hides their baskets.)

Kwinton J. found his Easter basket and dumped it out.

Cute kids going to church on Easter!

We had an Easter Egg hunt at Grandma Franc's.
This is just the younger kids (1-6)!!!!

These are the kids that are 7 and older.

NERD ALERT!

Kwinton's sister Stephanie was nice enough to come to
the temple with us on a FREEZING cold morning and
take some pictures of the kids for Gabriel's baptism.

This picture is hilarious! All of the kids
personalities are totally showing. Right
down to Cole's famous wink.

AWWWWWWWW!!

Gabe had his Birthday. He got a new bike, some books,
and some baseball stuff.

This is Cole. The kids keep wearing this creepy mask!

Kwinton likes to throw this ball at Coles face.

Cole likes it too!

Kwinton J. just crawls around the house
trying not to get trampled by the madness.

Gabriel got baptized on April 30th.
They practiced before we got to the church.
It didn't help! Gabe had to do it twice because his
elbow came up.

They also had a stare down before we went to the church.

Me and my baby!!! I cant believe he is eight.

Kwinton and Gabriel.

Family came over after for lunch.

By the end of the day Kwinton J. was DONE.
Or should I say by the end of the month he was DONE.
He really is a trooper. The poor kids is constantly being
shoved into his car seat so we can run from one place
to the next. But I think this month finally got to him.

March Madness

I feel like life is coming at me so fast I don't even have time to keep up on things. I think the best way for me to keep the blog updated is to maybe take it a month at a time. So here are some highlights from the month of March.

Cali turned 6!!! She got a new bike.

She was a zoo keeper at her party. Her cousins
got her this puppy and vet set. SHE LOVES IT!

The rest of the monsters.

Cupcake time!

Jarom loves cupcakes.

I should have pushed his face down in it.
I will remember that next time.

Weird Chris.

Kwinton J. is getting cuter by the second.

Gabe put this on in the car and waved at other cars.

Gabe also started baseball. Look how ready he is.

His team is the Nationals.

We froze our butts off at his first game.
Oh, how I love Utah weather.

And on a final very exciting note.
I GOT MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!
Kwinton and his mom made my this quilt for Christmas.
But it has been away for months getting quilted.
Pretty amazing hu? Kwinton made 24 of the blocks,
Kathy did the 12 harder ones. Then Kwinton did all the
borders and his mom took it somewhere to get quilted.
