"Let Me Do It!"



Since it seems like it has been cold FOREVER...Zack has not had much of a chance to practice pedaling his bike. Today we got that chance since it was a little warmer and he did great! He was so proud of himself:) Just a small taste of spring and we cannot wait for more!

6th Anniversary

We got to celebrate our 6th anniversary on the 15th-16th. We headed out Friday night to a movie and had Bada watch the boys while we spent the night at a Hilton in Ogden. It was a great date and we love having Bada come play! They boys were sad when she left. Our anniversary is actually the 17th! So Happy Anniversary to us! I could not ask for a better husband and Dad to my boys. Love you!


They Are IN!!!!

After this weekend, my parents are officially in their new house! We headed down Thursday to attend a funeral for our close neighbors dad growing up. He died unexpectedly at 54 to a blood clot in his lungs. We were close to this family growing up, to the point of never knocking when we went over! Kellie reminded me that I still have their phone number memorized. It broke my heart when I heard the news and we had to go down and give our "second mom" a huge hug. 
We ended up spending the night at Andrew's house because Dan had a conference in Murray for work. Since we would rather not drive back and forth all weekend we plopped at their house:) On Friday we met my mom and Kellie and kids at the dinosaur museum. Zack was still a little nervous, but he did better this time! 



The guys helped do a load or two Friday night and Saturday morning. The kids and I headed over to the house after a few errands on Saturday. Since I am very useful these days with carrying things, I helped monitor the kiddos in the new playroom while the adults helped move.  Levi could not get enough of holding Garrett this past weekend. He is so good with babies and just plain loves them. If you cannot tell by the look on  his face! He is extremely excited to hold our baby and tells me all the time he will hold her for me:)
 After the moving and an outing with everyone for dinner, we celebrated Miles, Zack, and Emmery's birthdays. Zack had to have the pink "cumcake".


 Such a goofy mess!
 Them too...

Then off to our house for some sleep:) It was a great weekend and we are excited for more in their new house!

Birthday Bash

We started off Zack's birthday meeting Kellie and kids at the Treehouse Museum in Ogden. The kids love that place and ran from one thing to the next until lunch time.



 We met Dan for lunch at Chick-fil-a, since Zack's favorite food in chicken nuggets and french fries! And they have a play place.
Later we picked up his cake and birthday toy from Toys-r-us. Then we finished off the night with presents and cake. Zack was so happy and could not stop saying, "Happy Birt-day Zacky, I fawee!" All day long. After we sung to him he has been singing "Happy Birthday" to himself all week long. That and the Little Einsteins song while he is on the potty:) He is too much fun and I can't believe he is 3! Zack is one smart little man. He comes across as a little quiet, but he really is not! He talks my ear off everyday but gets a little shy when in crowds. He chooses to stay on moms lap or play by himself usually. Nursery can be a struggle sometimes because he would rather play by himself. We have a huge nursery! He loves to play trains right now, and will sit and build a track for a long time. He also is obsessed with taking his Orca, Dolphin, and Swordfish into the bath with him and will play there for an hour if you let him! He is very good at his colors, shapes, and all his letters upper and lower case. He has been working with Levi and I on the sounds of the letters while Levi does his reading lessons. He loves to dance to Disney songs on Pandora and has memorized tons of them. He really like any Cars song that comes on, Tarzan, and Lion King (particularly, "I just can't wait to be king.") He makes sure to give you hugs and kisses before bed and when you leave. He will not let you leave unless you do. He insists on kisses on his mouth, and if you miss he says, "you miss-did" and proceeds to try again! He loves the show Little Einsteins right now and sings that all day. If you try to sing he says, "Let me do it!" Taking after Levi he will randomly say, "Mom, I love you." My boys melt my heart! We love our little Zackary and I still am in shock he is 3!
