.April 2017

Aside from Easter, April was a pretty low-key month around here. Here are some highlights (I will do a separate post for Easter):

Our kids love hanging out in our bed… heck, we all love hanging out in our bed. ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ For General Conference weekend Air made some awesome donuts//We took a family pic after stake conference ↓↓↓

had so much fun visiting cousin Jake's house and doing some flips ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ I got this most amazing jewelry organizer for my earring collection (just my favorites, I way too many more pairs)//We got snow on Easter weekend of course ↓↓↓

These two love it when we do this on snowy days ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ The snow melted quickly and we got to play outside again! Alice loves the parks//This is how much Ames loves warm weather, I guess ↓↓↓

Ames wanted me to take a pic of his beard and Alice wanted to be in it doing this ↓↓↓

When Ames says the word "turtle" I giggle ↓↓↓

We went swimming a lot all winter long so I figured I should take some photos of these little fishies ↓↓↓

Ames and Aaron are under the water together ↓↓↓

Ames swimming with his buddy Rhys ↓↓↓

Alice is just there for the toys, she's not interested in going under water yet ↓↓↓

And of course our little Ali-girl continues to fall asleep at dinner ↓↓↓

Then she stays awake and makes up songs like this at her real bed time ↓↓↓

.March 2017

You know how we love our holidays around here. St Patrick's Day is fun to celebrate! We had a yummy breakfast with a green smoothie made by Air.

Then a leprechaun showed up at our house while everyone was downstairs! Those sneaky leprechauns! ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ Alice's hair is getting longer and longer… and if I am lucky she will sit still for one minute and let me do it//My nail polish is short lived, this is how it looked after a week of dishes, cleaning, picking my teeth?, etc ↓↓↓

Air makes THE BEST cheese buns and he put together this little step-by-step photo tutorial for a friend who asked about it. Enjoy! ↓↓↓

Ames started his first pre-k program at the rec center. It was just a couple hours, twice a week. But it was a really good help in preparing him for Kindergarten coming soon! ↓↓↓

Speaking of Kindergarten—we went to Ames's K orientation in March and he loved it! There are a few kids from our ward in his school so that helps a lot. ↓↓↓

Some creepy faceswaps that Air and Ames did ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ Ames's drawing of a troll is everything//I was proud of how good a job I did at scraping all the ice and snow off the driveway so I snapped a photo and you have to admire it now ↓↓↓

Alice is still sleep-eating on the reg ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ A craft at pre-k//I love it when these two play together happily for a long long time. They are the cutest friends ↓↓↓

We love having the missionaries over, wish it could happen more often, but alas, Air works evenings. ↓↓↓

Some of our bedtime routine ↓↓↓

↓↓↓ Ames sitting in his favorite spot//Ames and Alice love each other so much ↓↓↓

I was admiring Alice's beautiful baby cheek profile while she was watching a show and ignoring me ↓↓↓

Ames's sofa acrobatics ↓↓↓

First trip to the zoo for the year! We were getting SO excited to feel the temperatures rising and the snow slowly melting away! ↓↓↓

Lastly, here are our church pics for the month ↓↓↓
