March weather went from snow to sun in the blink of an eye. We took advantage of the days with sun. We went on a walk by Utah Lake and the Jordan River parkway one day. The dogs loved all the new smells and sounds.
I can't believe how much the kids have changed over the years when I look back at the photos I have taken of them together on Easter.
This picture illustrates Asher's personal style so well. He likes being different from JJ by wearing a bow tie and cowboy boots. His pants are a bit too short because he has shot up the last few months.
JJ is a teenager now with his braces and cool hair style. He now cares more about his appearance and styles his own hair. He likes borrowing Lance's ties and sweaters for church. He takes his responsibility to pass the sacrament seriously and helps the other boys who are just learning. He's not perfect but I am proud of his desire to be a good leader.
Hannah is a beautiful girl inside and out. She is a bit of a tomboy and doesn't like to waste time getting her hair fixed or getting dressed up. She is all about comfort right now.
We were invited to spend some Easter fun over at my brother Charlie's house. It was great to be with family and Hannah never gets her fill of playing with Bridger. We sure wish we lived closer to him!
JJ has to have his time with Bridger too! He loves his little cousin and tries to get Hannah to let him play with Bridger at least a little.
We had a picnic at the park too! So glad to see Ryan and Holly and their girls as well as Brandon, Dan, Becca, Emmy, Cam, Michelle, Jace and Chloe.
This cat of Hannah's is a stinker. He climbs on the roof, tries to eat birds, and climbs the screen of the front door.
Asher's latest obsession is plants. He is enjoying learning about cacti and bonsai.
The neighbors across the street were "goat sitting" for a few days. So of course we had to go over and say hi and tease Lance that we had gotten a new pet. Lance did not find it nearly as funny as we did.
I was able to chaperon JJ's field trip to STEMfest 2015. It was really fun - a little stressful at times and nauseous (the bus driver went in circles trying to find where he was supposed to let us off) but still really a good time. JJ loved the underwater robotics area.
Freezing his DNA and putting it in a necklace.
The school had a spirit week where each day was a different theme. The kids participated in some of them. These were the ones they liked the best. Cowboy day . . .
80's day . . .
He's channeling a bit of Tom Cruise from Top Gun and Bender from Breakfast club . . .
Mommy, Daddy and daughter date for Hannah to go see Cinderella. We loved the movie and had great fun together!
Mommy Daddy and Asher date to Johnny Rockets!
What would our house be like with out the pets? Cleaner for sure but very empty.
Happy St. Patricks day 2015!
Nobody was more excited to meet Emmy's new golden retriever puppy Piper than Asher. He adores that dog! He'd much rather all his cousins be of the 4 footed variety.
Happy Anniversary to me and my sweetie!
Asher's babies are very prickly.
Girl talk in the walnut tree. I am so grateful that Hannah has so many great girlfriends who don't do drama or jealousy. They just accept everyone and are very supportive of each other. It is so rare!
JJ and plays are the bane of my existence. He is so talented and has a desire to be in the plays but he doesn't want to attend rehearsals or have anything to do with costuming.
JJ was Papa bear and Papa Ogre and Hannah was a rat dancer and a Duloc dancer. Not their favorite parts but the music in this show is so awesome!
This picture makes me laugh it looks like the girl next to Hannah wants to kill her or something!
Good job AnnaBelle as Teen Fiona!
JJ convinced his friend Thomas to be in the play. Not quite sure if he enjoyed it or not but they did get to hang out during rehearsals.
The view out the school windows when a sudden snow storm hit.
