Springtime

I would love to say that summer is here, but alas we just had snow last week, so I will keep hoping for spring instead :) The past couple days have been fabulous though and we have been soaking up the sun! We even conned Daddy into going on a walk to feed the ducks! 

After the bad weather we missed a couple days, and apparently so had everyone else, because the ducks were so hungry they were eating out of our hands! 

The Bean Museum has a large turtle and they had brought him out to eat fresh grass. Carter was excited to be able to touch it. :) 

My sis Cyera was here and was able to touch the Turtle too. 

Easter

I can't believe Easter has already come and gone. This year we had a lot of fun. The Sat before Easter Carter and I decorated eggs, and our ward had an Easter egg hunt. Then Sunday the Greens were out of town, so we went and joined them for the day and let the boys hunt eggs together. They each were able to find 60 eggs a piece, can you say spoiled??? :) 

Carter and I getting ready to dye eggs in our aprons. 

Brandin and Kenna hanging out while we dyed eggs. 

Not so patient waiting on the eggs to dye. ha ha 

Outside looking for eggs at the primary activity. 

My sis Cyera was in town, so she gets to be in my picts :) Cyera and Kenna were all matchy matchy!

Carter and Ben went on a treasure hunt to find their Easter baskets

Tyler and Laura were house sitting for Tylers brother, and the house was awesome! This is Rapunzel's tower, and there is a hidden room upstairs. So fun! 

They found their baskets

busy life!

Lately it seems that life has been on fast forward, with 2 kids, a husband starting finals, and warm weather finally here giving us things to do instead of stay inside all cooped up. Carter is loving life. I also went to the Dr this week, and my platelets have gone down another 100,000 so I am now at 650,000. I still need to be below 400,000 so they upped my doses. bleh. Besides stronger headaches though everything else is going good, which I am thankful for. :) 

Kenna hanging out with her 2 best buddies :)  

My bro Ty came over for a week to hang out, and Carter loved having someone else to attack and wrestle with. 

Ty brought his bike, and Brandin and Carter had a blast going for a ride. Carter keep telling Brandin, faster daddy faster! We have a speed demon on our hands :) I'm scared when he turns 16 and gets a license. lol

Kennas first selfie. lol

Oh mom, to many picts!

Then she started laughing :) 

Brandin and I had a "date night" (does it count as a date if the kids are 10 feet away in bed and we are outside at 2 am checking out the blood moon?)

The ducks are back and hungry!

This mamma had 15 babies to care for all herself. Poor girl! 

No more dead looking trees!!!

Laura and Ben decided to go on a walk with us to both duck ponds yesterday. The boys loved feeding the ducks. 

Carter, Ben, and Laura checking out the turtle.

We are both equally white. lol

The walk home was too much for them, so Laura carried Kenna and Ben and Carter rode in the stroller.
