Picture Overload...

So it's been a month so I might as well have a months worth of pictures right? Both of our computers are still being really dumb. We need to take them somewhere and just get them fixed but we just haven't done it yet. The laptop is just super annoying to use when your on the internet we keep getting a ton of pop ups and internet explorer is closing messages (not sure what the deal is - feel free to offer any advice). I don't think it has anything to do with the settings because we have tried to adjust everything, but who knows. Anyways and our desktop is soooo slow right now. It boggles my mind because it goes from working perfectly fine and wonderful to being slow and stupid. Enough about that though. {Boston WILL love football... yes we are already brainwashing him}

We haven't been up to much this past month. Todd is still working hard in his last semester with a full load of 19 credits and working full time. We're excited to be heading back to Pocatello in August and today we went down to check out some places out to live. {Boston's new toy - I think he's bored having to lay on the ground all the time - now he gets to be swung and bounced around by his sister-poor kid}

We had a day with a fraction of sunshine and made it to the park. They had the water turned on at the splash park so we let Reese run around a bit.

My little brother Tyler's High School Graduation. {He refused to smile in any of his pictures-he's that cool}

I probably should have an arrow pointing to him, but he's like the 3rd row from the back 3rd one in.

Some of these pictures have been posted on FB, but since not everyone has access to those I'll post them again.

{Impossible to a picture with both of them cooperating}

{Reese was watching Dancing with the Stars and wanted to dress up a bit, just like the girls on the show}

{Our little dancer girl twirling around the room, she tries really hard to copy exactly how the girls and the tv are doing it}

{The cutest, happiest boy in the world -- Love him sooo much} He is doing soo good. We just had his 4 month checkup. Weight: 16lbs 1oz, Height: 27" -- So BIG!! He loves to smile laugh and yell. His favorite toys are his linking rings and his frog. He giggles every time he sees himself in the mirror and started rolling over the week before he turned 4 months. He is an excellent sleeper-- he goes down around 9 pm and wakes up at 5-6 to eat and then back to bed for a couple more hours.

Earlier this week we had a beautiful sunny day so I met some of my girlie friends at the Idaho Falls zoo and just enjoyed the day with all of our children. {Reese even got to ride on the airplane ride at the little 'creepy' fun land right next to the zoo}

I should post the pic that I have of her when she's like 6 months taking a drink from this same lions mouth. I'm sure you can flip back through the archive and find it.

{All the little girls - Reese, Addi, and Braylee}

{Multiple attempts at trying to take a picture of all 3 of them - impossible}

{Just after rolling over}

{He loves his hands!}

One of my very favorite pics. {Hanging out in the stroller at the zoo}

{Love him!}

Like I said not too much going on... I did take a 2 day photography class. It was so nice to have a couple hours 100% to myself. I wish it had been a little bit longer, but it was just a community class offered through the university.

Not too much coming up on the agenda. Only 2 months left in Rexburg!!

Yes we're still alive...

First off I hate computers. We have 2 in our house and seems like something is always wrong with at least one of them - so for that reason alone I haven't really been in the mood to try and post anything. It's such a pain trying to upload some pictures on our laptop - it has some major internet issues, and our desktop something is going on with the fan inside the tower and it's just too noisy to run when all the kiddies are asleep.

So here is our cutie boy - 3 months! He is such a wiggly, giggly boy! He's around 15 pounds now. He is a good sleeper and goes to bed around 10 p.m. and wakes up once in the night to eat and sleeps til 7 or 8. He's starting to be interested in his toys and starts grabbing (or pawing) at what is in front of him. Love him!

So a couple of weeks ago we decided to take Reese bowling. We didn't quite know what to expect. She loved it! We thought she would be bored of it by the 4th frame but she played an entire game. It was nice everything was all electronic and when it was her turn the bumpers would pop up. The lightest ball we could find was 8lbs so she had to have help rolling it down the lane. {Watching the ball roll SLOWLY toward the pins}

{Todd bowlin'} I actually beat Todd and bowled one of my better games with a score of 162.

Are those just the cutest! {Reese wearing her bowling shoes}

After each roll Reese would lay down and watch it roll down the lane. I'm sure it helped her game.

{Cooling off her hands on the fan}

{Follow-through}

{Boston took a nap while we bowled}

{Reese picked out a pink ball of course}

We really haven't been doing too much else. Todd has started his last semester before his student teaching. I can't wait for him to graduate -- I'm tired of this school all day/work all day business I would like to see my husband more than a couple hours during the day. Well that's about it for now. Hopefully the weather starts to improve so we can venture outside.

Photo Blog

I'm starting up my photo blog again -- if interested in joining I need your email. See week by week photo link on side bar to see what I'm talking about. I was a major slacker and after a few months of starting it the last time I stopped -- kudos to those of you that kept it going a little while longer -- I promise to do better this time around.

Hoppy Easter or Christmas?

Well Mr. Cottontail did make it to our house (despite a little girl being a very big poop head the day before). A new activity gym for brother and a new (much anticipated) bike for Reese.

He even nibbled on the carrots we left out for him.

She doesn't have a clue how to ride it but it's just as fun being a big girl and being able to sit on one.

Checking out the rest of her basket.

Some candy and sidewalk chalk (sadly everything she got requires the weather to cooperate).

New shirts for dad! Todd and I got matching shirts to wear to the Jazz game next week. Todd also got a new shirt for school and a Sam's Club size pack of gum (and other candy). I got a new bottle of Moroccan Oil for my hair (since I dropped my last one on the bathroom floor and broke it), New Moon, and some candy.

Maybe with all the snow Santa thought it was Christmas and made an extra delivery.

Testing out the new bike. The best part is the the baby seat up front. She loves it.
Boston loves his new Easter present too! He layed on the mat and just wiggled and wiggled and even hit the rattle around (I'm sure by accident, but we'll pretend it was on purpose).

After we dug into our baskets we had a nice french toast breakfast with some bacon too! Yum!

Easter Egg hunt

Doesn't look much like April? Luckily the Easter Egg hunt we were headed to was indoors. We slept in a little this morning (8 AM) - the hunt started at 9 AM and it was a mad rush to get kids fed and dressed and loaded in the car. Then there was the dang snow slowing us down too -- the roads weren't plowed at all and it was very slippery and the snow was coming down like mad. Luckily we made it to Rexburg's movie theatre (where the Egg hunt was) without an accident and with about 1 minute to spare before the hunt started. There wasn't much competition for eggs in the 0-2 age bracket -- Reese pretty much had her own section to work without any interference (probably due to the horrible weather). She filled her entire bag to the brim with eggs. Boston chose to nap instead (Reese gathered enough eggs for the both of them). I'm glad we made it to the hunt in time I was so worried since they usually last about 2 minutes at the most. Reese had a grand ole' time opening up her eggs, and since she isn't really into candy Todd and I were able to partake of the goods.
