Really late Easter Pics!

I'd like to say there is a good reason for being so behind in posting, but I really can't think of one!

We started out the weekend at the kids dance in BRC at my moms church. This is something I did ever year as a kid. I really look forward to taking my kids in there new clothes each year.

Don't they look so cute. I can't believe they are getting so big!

After the dancing is over you lay out your blanket and have a picnic. Jace was loving his lunchable. Isn't he so cute!

My mom came with us. We had lots of fun! Brance is not very fond of this tradition. The only dances he would do were the bird dance and the hokie pokie!

Sat. morning we went over to the Easter egg hunt here in town. The kids had a really fun time. They each got 8 full size candy bars. We didn't even need the Easter bunny to come!

We had a fun time decorating eggs. I got a little carried away and dyed way to many eggs, oh well it was worth it.

Sunday morning before church we found all the eggs out in the yard. The kids each got new sunglasses from the Easter bunny. Like I said sorry these are so behind. Better late than never, I guess. Hope everyone had a great Easter!

Nice weather...FINALLY!!

We finally have nice enough weather to play outside. Yea!!! I'm not going to get to excited just in case it teases us again and turns bad. I have been ready for spring for quit awhile know . I hope we don't pass it up and go right to summer. Spring is my favorite so I hope it gets here soon.

Yesterday we spent the afternoon at the Bingham's. The whole family came home for the day! It doesn't happen very often that everyone is home.

Since we live just down the lane, we walked. Jace loves to ride in the stroller.

This is Morgan and cousin Maisie having fun on the teeter toter at grandma's house.

Brance loves to ride his bike up and down the lane. This pic was from yesterday, but he has spent most of the morning riding his bike back and forth from our house to grandma's.

I hope this nice weather will stick around. I am so sick of snow and cold!!!

Curly, Curly, Curly!!!

So Morgan's hair is getting long and she has lots of little baby hair's, but it is really thin still. When I curl it for church it looks darling but by the end of church it just looks curled under. It's pretty strait and like I said it is pretty thin. I was getting my hair done and was talking to Nikki and she suggested a perm. I had already thought of that but thought she was to little. So I decided why not give it a try.

She had her hair in pig tails when we got there that's why it looks like that.

Here she is about half way. She was really good and didn't complain at all during this part of the perm!

The one thing she told me before we got there was " I don't want to wear the apron (cape) It's itchy! " So we didn't make her put it on. What ever it takes right!

She did not like this part. She keep saying it was "HOT" That was her way of saying it was stinging. We had to go buy a drink for a distraction.

She decided that she would try the cape and it wasn't bad after all. She didn't like getting her hair washed... but she did better than I thought she would.

She liked sitting under the dryer, and loved the princess book Nikki got for her to look at.

This was by far the worst part. When Nikki put the last solution on she freaked out!!! She was screaming and saying it hurt. I guess it was burning her neck. I think she had rubbed it to much and made it sore. Once the rollers were out and it got washed she was fine. For a minute there I was a little embarrassed she was yelling so loud! She keep saying "don't do that agian"

By this point she was happy again and was looking darling!

It turned out so stinkin cute. I love it! She picked out a new bow, and one of the ladies brought her a candy necklace. She looks so cute. Her hair looks so much thicker. Thanks Nikki you did a great job and we LOVE it!!

It was so fun spending the afternoon with Morgan. I think being the middle child is hard for her. I wish we could spend more time together without the boys. The whole way home she would touch her hair and say it tickles her hand. She is so cute. She feel asleep right before we got to the boys and crashed on grandma's couch for a while. I guess her big afternoon wore her out!

Baby # 4 is a...

Well I went to the doctor around 13 weeks and they said it looked like a boy but it was really early so they weren't 100% so I was hoping they were wrong and it would turn out to be a girl. Well it turned out to be a BOY!!! So to be completely honest I was a little sad at first but I will love it no matter what! I think the main reason I am sad it because he will be the very youngest in his class at school. I know I have a long time before that happens so for now I am so excited and wish that it will go by fast!

ZOO day!

We decided to make a trip to the zoo. Dusty's mom took us. We meet up with Laura, Malya and Maisie. (Dusty's sister and our sister in law and cousin) We had tons of fun. It was really windy so we were pretty cold. I don't think it bothered the kids as much as me.

Who's little girl with her bum crack hanging out!

Jace, Me, Morgan, cousin Maisie, Brance

The kids really liked the Rino

This ones kind of hard to see. These two are good friends. There about a year apart. Maisie is moving to Minnesota in April and Morgan is going to miss her so much.

Jace was giving loves to the baby tiger! He is so sweet!

Brance also had his Kindergarten round up this week. He is so excited to go to school next year. I can't believe he is getting so big.

BIG News!!!

Well I wasn't going to let the big news out yet, but we ended up telling our families this past weekend that we are expecting in August!!!! Yep....that makes 4!!!! We have always wanted a big family and want them to be close to each other. My first three kids are all 21 1/2 months apart but this one will be 26 months from Jace! I am due on the 28th and Morgans birthday is the 26th so may be it will be a double b-day or another fair baby!! All the kids want a baby sister. We didn't find out with Jace and Dusty doesn't want to find out again...but I can't decide so will just have to see! My sister in-law is due 2 weeks before me and we are so excited to have cousins so close!

I know some of you might think I am totally crazy...maybe I am but I don't really care. This is what we want and we are so excited. I feel so blessed to be able to have children. I hope I can do a great job raising my family and show my Heavenly father how grateful I am to him. I am truly blessed!

New Puppy!!!

We were up to the cow round up last fall, and 2 of the guys dogs were getting a little friendly...so we called for one of the pups. Our dog had gotten ran over so it was perfect timing for us. So Dusty went and got the puppy on New Years Day! Dusty calls her bread a "Shag" what ever that means??? She is already growing a ton. She was staying out in our mud room, but I was so sick of cleaning up after her that I finally put an end to that. Hopefully she can find a way to stay warm, since it is so dang cold. Her name is "Sprite" we mixed her mom and dad's names which were "Spur" and "Whitie" It's been really fun for the kids to have a friend and a responsibility. Know that she is out side I like her a lot more too.

Brance loves his new buddy. He always makes sure she is fed and watered.
Morgan was so excited that the puppy fell asleep by her.

Jace is a little rough with the dog he is always picking her up by the neck or grabbing hair as she runs away. I hope she doesn't hurt him one of these times.

He loves his new toy... if we could only get it through his head that she is not a toy.
