FRAMED!

Cole found this picture frame insert the other day and thought it would be fun to "be a picture".

Here are my three boys as "pictures".

Bathtime

Kade loves to take a bath. He is so happy and splashes around in the water. When it's time to get out he cries and cries for about 5 minutes until he is warmly dressed again. The other day I decided that I didn't want to fill up the bathtub so I'd just try our bathroom sink. As you can see, he's slightly outgrown the bathroom sink. He still liked it but there wasn't much room for splashing around:-)

I thought it would be fun to compare bath pictures of the boys too. They all really do look so different when you put them side by side at similar ages. I think Cole and Kade look more alike at this point, but it will be interesting to see what happens in the future! I love my boys!!!

(I couldn't get the pictures moved around in the order I wanted)

Mason - 2 1/2 months

Cole - 4 months

Kade - 3 months

Easter Weekend

We had a great Easter weekend! We started it off on Saturday before Easter and went to our church's big Easter Eggstravaganza. It was really fun! There were jumpy houses and slides, pony rides, a mini train, face painting, hotdogs, and of course, an egg hunt! The boys had a blast and the weather was great for it.

Easter Sunday we went to church and then went over to my parents for a big Easter dinner. Adam's parents went too along with a bunch of my family. Missy was in town and Casey and Kim surprised us by coming into town Saturday too. It was great! We had another egg hunt that afternoonand Kim was the winner, finding the golden egg!

Along with all the fun we had, we are really trying to teach the boys the true meaning of Easter. We asked Cole what Easter really means and he said, "It's all about God!". I'm happy to know that he knows it's not all about bunnies and jelly beans! His prayers that weekend included thanking God for Jesus dying on the cross so we can go to Heaven. It makes me proud to know that we're raising our kids to have faith and know the truth! We're so thankful for the sacrifice Jesus made and that he rose from the dead Easter morning to defeat sin and the devil!

BEST DAY EVER!!!

Last Thursday I got to spend the whole afternoon and evening with my sisters and mom. Only Kim was missing and we wished so much she was with us! We had no kids, except for Kade since he is still semi-attached to me:-) It was so relaxing. I really must not go out without the kids very often because this day rivaled some of the very best days of my life!!! We first met up and did a little shopping and then moved on to get pedicures. Each of us got different colors and designs and as you can see above, they are so cute! Then we did more shopping, staying at the mall as long as we wanted. To top off the night we went to The Stagecoach steakhouse, a family favorite, for dinner. Jenny and I split a filet mingon and giant prawns and Missy and my mom split the halibut chunks and prawns. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! It was such fun and gave me a much needed rejuvination.

Roystone Hotsprings

We went to this great hotsprings last Saturday with some of our Bible Study group. Jenny, Chad and boys, Craig and Brenda and girls, and us soaked it up at Roystone Hotsprings. It's a great natural hotsprings pool just outside of Emmett. The water is around 98 degrees and feels so good. They have a covered pool along with a hot tub and indoor lodge area for get togethers. We had such fun! I even took Kade in for his first swim and he loved it... for a while:-)

Happy 31st to my hubby...

Adam turned 31 this past Saturday (April 2nd). We went with some of our Bible study group to Roystone Hotsprings for a little bit of swimming and then Craig and Brenda watched our 2 oldest while we went out to dinner. We used the free birthday dinner card at Tucano's Brazillian Grill where we stuffed our faces with all you can eat grilled meats and salad bar! Yum! Then Sunday we went out to dinner with the fams at Texas Roadhouse. The picture is horrible but I had to add it. They made Adam sit on a saddle with his ice cream while everyone in there restaraunt shouted "Yee Haw!". It was great! I have the best husband ever and I'm thankful for him every single day. He continues to make me laugh, is my best friend and encourager, supports me as a parent, and treats me the way any woman would want to be treated by a man! He is a wonderful dad and I love seeing him wrestle and play ball with Cole and Mason and then turn around and coo and love on Kade. I'm such a lucky girl to have such a wonderful guy!!! Looking forward to the next 31 years!!!
