Love my life!

According to Leah it was wear Apricot day. This girl kills me with her outfits. 

This is what was waving goodbye to me as I left for exercise. 




Got to exercise and this is what Goose was talking about when he told me he farted and had a hole in his butt(I thought he was talking about the real hole and told him to quit saying that). Dad obviously didn't car that he had a hole, I got a pretty good laugh from it. 



This is where the kids ended up after homework. Goose refused to take a nap so he joined the kids for quiet time while Lacey was nice enough to take her nap. 




Landon wanted to wear his towel like dad, and he chose the biggest towel we had to wrap around his skinny little waist. 

Goose figured out that when he presses the duck to his chest not only does it make a fart sound, but it sticks!


This little stinker is already 2 months and is as happy and smiley as ever!


I pulled out the Bumbo to see if Lacey was ready to use it. Not big enough yet, but the Lilos and goose put them to good use for the night. 


Skinny little fart!


Helmet head!



Dad even got in on the action.

Maxine Conk.

My sweet Grandma passed away peacefully on February 16. It was a bitter sweet moment for all of us. We know she is in a better place, but it's hard having her gone. When my sibling and I got the news my older sister sent out a text with these pictures she took of my grandparents. She also wrote some of her memories of Grandma. All of us started to send texts of all the wonderful things we remember about this wonderful lady. Her are just a few highlights. 
Hop, skip, jump, back tickles, fake nails, stale cookies in the cookie jar, finding the bird in the christmas tree, naming cars, perms, popsicles, gallon buckets of ice cream, mashed potatoes, setting by the heater vent, going through her jewelry, tea parties, cartwheels and back walkovers, strawberries and sugar, perfume on the back of the toilet, seashell art, lovingly referring to us as "little shits" carmel popcorn, ringlets with bobby pins, furry toilet seats, name spelling, shirley Temple movies, "what color is the lake", Wrigley's gum Eating watermelon in wheels, speed racing to the top of the stairs, home haircuts, dancing grannies, and thousands more. We love you a bushel and a peck hope your dancing your heart out. 




This is the band she would go with every Friday and play the tambourine in. 


It was a beautiful sunny day and a wonderful service.

Utah.

Lacey and I flew to Utah for my Grandma's funeral. I arrived to snow. Luckily it was light and didn't last long. It's the way I like snow:) It was good to see family, but was super busy with funeral details and hard not having my own form of transportation. I think Lacey was always being held by someone-lots of lulu lovin'.


Grandma getting some time in. 


Lacey loved being entertained by Aunt Shelly. 


Lacey with cousin Lucy. 


This is how we felt about all the funeral plans-tired!!


Cousin beck and lulu. 


Poor Beck is out numbered by all the girls. 


The babies love Uncle Bubba. 



Grandpa got some lulu lovin' in. 


For some reason at one point I was left with three babies. I NEVER want triplets, twins was hard enough. 



Luckily these two showed up to help out with all the babies. 


Grandpa assumed the usual baby holding/sleeping position. 


Jenny's kids were always wanting to hold the lulu bean. 



Shelly took her turn. 


I was able to see Dayvis dance while I was in town. She did a wonderful job!


I think there will be more pictures like this then poor Beck would like. 


Lacey loved Uncle Danny. He loves the little babies and it shows. 



We even got visits from Lexi and Aunt Chan. 


Lacey did awesome traveling. She really is such a good baby!


Landon, Leah, and Logan made me some cards. I missed my kiddos and it was good to be home. I wish they could have come with me. 


I brought them home Scorpion suckers. This picture was about all of the sucker they ate. Not really a big hit like I thought they would be. 




Jer was awesome and took time off work to be with the other 3. He said we need to win the lottery so he can be home all day with the kids! I would love to post pictures of all the fun stuff they did 
-riding bikes at the primary activity, petting cats at the gross pound, dragon poison on the tramp, but my cute husband failed to take one picture while I was gone. So sad:( He learned his lesson for next time!

Valentines Day.

I always get the kids a little Valentines gift from Jer and I. 




It was a heart themed day. Starting with my pancakes. Jer is always so good to make me breakfast. 


The kids got a little love in their lunches too. 


I found this in my car when I went to run some errands. 


I took some treats to the kids class party and was able to snap a couple of pictures while I was there. 



I wanted a picture of all 4 of my kids, since I haven't taken one since Lacey was born






Jer and I had a hot date at the church! A fund raiser dinner put on by the YM/YW. $20 bucks and free babysitting, not a bad gig.
