The Stake Carnival

In the spring, our stake puts on a carnival at the high school complete with food, snow cones, karaoke, blow up bounce houses and tons of other stuff.  The girls love it, but the lines are always crazy so we don't stay very long.

The Trampoline!

Rob decided to spoil the girls this year and get them all a trampoline for Easter.  
They LOVE it!!!

Pinetop, AZ

After church on March 17th, we drove up to Pinetop to spend 2 nights at a cabin. Pinetop is about 3 hours away.  I bought a deal on Groupon for a 2 night stay in a fully furnished cabin for $179.  It was so nice to get away, and so nice that Rob has his own business so we can do what we want whenever we want.  
We hoped that there would be some snow for the girls, and there was, but not much.  Just the stuff that hadn't melted yet from being in the shade.  We got there late Sunday night and left Tuesday morning. 

Hanging at the cabin Monday morning


The resort we stayed at has a rec center.  It is complete with a fitness center, pool tables, basketball and racquetball courts, a pool and jacuzzi.  The girls just swam in the pool even though it was freezing.  Look at poor Lyla :(  Izzy decided to play basketball instead of swimming.



After lunch, we drove to a park that has a big lake complete with a walking trail.  On the way there, Lauren fell asleep.  Izzy volunteered to stay in the car with her while Rob and I took Lyla and Lyndsey on a walk.  




We walked the length of the parking lot before Lyla noticed a playground.  We spent the next 20 minutes there and then headed home.  She loved the huge pinecones!






The resort also had mini golf.  I think they got to the 5th hole before we were so annoyed with Lauren not listening that we left.






On the way home, Lyla puked in the car.  Good times.

Thanks Izzy

Izzy found some old pictures on her phone and texted them to me.

Check out Izzy!  She was probably 4 in this picture!

Lyla and baby Lauren.  So cute!

Baby Lauren playing with a tower of soup cans.

Don't be jealous that I have the best job in the world!!!

I really do have the best job in the world.  It's probably also the hardest... 
But, I wouldn't trade it for anything!
Lyndsey loves to help me do the dishes!

This is the funniest girl that I've ever met!

Someone gave her a sucker.  It for sure wasn't me!

Lyndsey loves to play with the kitchen like her sisters!

So mad about us making her crawl...

Lyla is the best big sister!

This is an accurate representation of how these two are about half the time...

Eating breakfast!  I love Lauren's messy hair!

Blowing kisses :)

She is so happy when she wakes up.
Lyndsey will stay in her bed forever just talking to herself when she wakes up.

My puppy!

A trip to Costco.  Izzy's photobombing...

I will never get these 3 to be cute at the same time...

Lyla learns to write her name and a trip to Bashas

For weeks I have tried to help Lyla learn how to hold a pencil. She will hold it correctly if I help her but the minute I turn away, she changes how she's holding it.
Anyways, I have also been trying to help her write her name. I have no idea how she figured out the uppercase Y, because I have only showed her how to write the lowercase y.  Oh well, she's trying.

I think that I've mentioned before how much Lyla loves to go to the local grocery store Bashas.  She loves it because they have a 'Cub house' where the kids can go play while the parents are shopping.  It's free and they get to play and do crafts.
This month Lyla had a birthday so her name got to be up on the wall.
She was thrilled!

Lyndsey says "hello"

Lyndsey has started raising her arms when she's excited about something or if she's happy to see you.  It's the cutest thing!

Morning...

This is what I wake up to most mornings...
I'm sure that Rob will appreciate me posting this.  He LOVES to cuddle with the girls.  Me, not so much.  It's a good thing that we have a big bed.  
I can't wait for when Lyndsey decides that she wants to sleep with us too!  She and I may have to go sleep in the guest room :)

Lyndsey is 9 months!

At Lyndsey's 9 month appointment, she weighed 19 lbs 10oz and was 28 inches long.  
I can't figure out if I measured wrong last month, or if they measured wrong because she shrunk.  Oh well!!!  She now is starting to crawl all over (finally) and walks around everything.  Cute boo!
