Spring 2013

 Finally some good weather... that was for about a week and then it snowed first week in May!  We soaked up all the family time we could before Scott took off for the summer.  Jett really loves his swivel car and is obsessed with being outside!

 I caught the sweetest thing that I will always cherish.  Jett walked up to Blakely and wanted a hug.  He put his arms around her and hugged her until she finally realized what he was doing and they embraced each other for a long time.  Love my sweet babies and that they love each other most of the time.

 Always posing.  If I'm taking a picture of Jett she gets jealous and starts posing... Oh boy!

Jett's also new favorite thing is all of a sudden put his arms out all day and want me to hold him.  It was cute at first, but really!  I don't have to hold you all day buddy!!!

Blakely and her fancy hair do all ready for a neighbor boys birthday party.

 Jett's new thing is also acting like a big boy and trying to sit in a big chair and then he climbs on the counter and think he's pretty funny for doing something he knows he shouldn't do.

 Scott had been telling Blakely that they were going to go camping so on his last Sunday here he set up the tent in the back yard and they loved it for about an hour ha ha!  Love spring in UT.

DADDY DAUGHTER DANCE DAY

 This is seriously the cutest thing ever and she loves it every year!  Somehow I think her natural ability actually came from him.  Such a special bond daughters have with their dads.  Lately she has been asking him to get her ears pierced so we will see how long it is before he caves...

My girl

 This girl has seriously grown up so much lately I can't take it.  I got knocked out with the flu and I really can't remember that much... All I remember is that she took care of me and her brother.  She brought me crackers, a bowl to throw up in, a diet coke, and anything she thought I needed.  She entertained her brother while I passed out on the couch and fed him snacks.  In between my dozing off I just remember her looking at me with her eyes and touching me softly saying with her eyes, "Mom its ok I got it."  I'm so grateful for her sweet soul and that she is my first born cuz she will always take care of her siblings.  I love when she asks me to take her pics and comes up with new poses on her own.  She is mine and I'm so lucky.

EASTER 2013

I'm a sucker for every holiday.  My mom made them so special growing up and I try to do the same.  Its just too fun to be a kid!  The kids woke up and Blakely found all the eggs hidden in the house.  After they went through their baskets, we had breakfast and relaxed and then realized that we had to hurry and get ready for church. 

 Every morning Jett pretty much jumps on Scott's back and thinks its hilarious.  And then he wanders to find food.

 Note to self:  next time don't wait until 5 minutes before church to take easter pics and during Jett's usual nap time.  Well it didn't go so well but its all about the memories right?!?

Blakely can't keep her hands off of Jett and it drives him crazy.  She is weird and rubs his ear...  I can't wait till he figures out that he can take her out! ha ha

 This is his sad eyes saying I'm tired and I want my bed and you are going to try and make me go to church?!?  Can I just say that I can't wait till I can enjoy church again some day!

After naps we headed up to my parents for easter dinner and an easter egg hunt with my childhood friends the Anderson's.  It was fun to see everyone's kids, but Jett for some reason was just not happy this day.  

Favorite thing to do is jump on the tramp!  Jett is so obsessed even if he can't figure it out yet...  I love my spring chickens!!!

MARCH 2013

March came and went quickly just how I usually like it cuz I'm ready for warm weather!  This month was action packed since Scott and I did a getaway to Cabo and then went to Vegas with the Bell clan also.  It was just what I needed!  Both spectacular trips!!!  Here is how we also kept busy at home:  Jett climbing the stairs, Blakely practicing her arabesques on the stairway,  and Scott shooting us with Nerf guns.

 Blakely wearing herself out that she takes her nap with her light on!

 Blakely gathers all their beach towels and they have a picnic in the entrance.  

 They are literally obsessed with each other.  Jett walks around the house saying, "Gakey."  She loves him right back.

 When Scott gets home I am checked out!  Before he showers them, it turns into full on wrestle mania at my house!  I'm usually cleaning up the kitchen from dinner, but I grabbed my camera and snapped some of the nightly madness.  Scott pretends to be asleep, they jump on him and then he gives horsey rides.

 They finally make it to our room and he literally throws them around like rag dolls.  Sometimes it ends in tears, but mostly you just here giggles!

I love these 3 crazies so much and even though some nights I wish the noise level was down 20 notches, I'm so glad that their is nothing but love in my home most of the time.

First day back to swimming lessons

 How lucky am I to have this little girl in my life!  I just have to take a minute and brag about Blakely.  We went to vegas and I brought her back this cute suit and she was so thankful.  That is one of her greatest traits:  she always shows appreciation and thanks people.  She is just an absolute joy 98% of the time.  I find myself saying how easy of a child I now realize she was since Jett is getting older and is a destructive, little boy.  Don't get me wrong he is wonderful and most of the time easy going, but talk about me now realizing how easy going she was even as a baby.  She finds joy in every little thing in life and her laugh is contagious.  That is the only negative her teacher could say about her behavior:  "when that girl starts laughing the whole class erupts and I can't get everyone calmed down for 10 minutes."  She is such a character and knows it as well.  Such a smart, sweet, independent, obedient (for the most part), little girl.  She is such a great helper and her brother wants to copy everything she does even if it involves jumping off the couch.  She is growing up way too fast in this world and I wish I could just bottle her up and keep her innocent and not have to discuss the bad things of the world, but we are getting to that point where she is smart and she needs to know.  We love you little girl.

FEBRUARY

 February hits and I think everyone is just ready for spring.  We kept busy by going on tube rides behind the razor when it snowed a lot, weekly ski school, dance, gymnastics, tumbling, school, and daddy even sacrificed his back for Blakely's boredom one Sunday night for an art project!   I don't think he will offer his back again cuz he knows it will be covered in hearts now.
