Lately

I feel like we have been so busy lately between preschool, dance class, park days, play dates, birthday parties, blessings , dinner to friends, missionaries over for dinner, keeping the house clean, doctor appointments, bunco, baby showers, crafts, family in town, stressing about our rank list and match day,  nursing every three hours and all the little things, we are always on the go .  This past week I finally felt like I could take a breather and just relax for a couple of days, it was so nice, I hardly did any cleaning, played lots of games with the kids, watched lots of movies and played at the park almost every day.   Life was a lot less stressful this past week and much more enjoyable and my kids were happier too!  Here are a bunch a pictures from the last couple of weeks. 

 Playing at the new park, my kids love it here and Leila especially likes that they have monkey bars that she can reach and cross by herself


 Asher enjoying his bath especially since he only gets them like twice a week (I always forget or he's napping when I actually have time to give him one)


 Playing puzzles with cousins, I think they each had their own puzzle going.  There were some fights over who got which puzzle but overall they all got along.  It was so fun to have family in town!



 We went to the new park with our family but it was super crowded by the playground so we played over by the maze and luckily we brought scooters and roller skates to play with.

 Leila could jump two footed across the patches of grass and in some spots they were as wide as she is tall, she's got some major jumps!
Greydon has figured out how to ride a razor scooter and loves it!


A couple of Saturdays ago we went hiking with the Larsen's and most of the Karren's on the Historic Railroad pass trail.  It's not really a hike but mostly a walk but it was still fun even though towards the end I was carrying Leila and Asher and Asher had a huge blowout in the carrier and got poop all over.



 Cute kids hanging out in bed in the morning

 Most nights when we put the kids to bed Leila will fall asleep pretty quickly but Greydon isn't quite ready to go to bed.  We put them to bed at the same time but about ten minutes later we usually hear Greydon in the hall.  He usually plays quietly with toys in the hall or his bedroom and then puts himself back to bed when he's tired.  This particular night I found him in the hall with his pajamas stuffed with toys, Paul and I were laughing pretty hard, the things he comes up with. 
Quick story about this cute little boy.  He loves trucks and cars and one day we were driving by a construction site, we were stopped at a the light and pretty soon I hear Greydon cheer, "go, go, go, dump, dump, dump, YAY!!!!".  He was watching a truck with a load of dirt and he was cheering for it to dump the dirt. 

 Love this sweet girl!  She has gotten pretty sassy lately.  One day I asked her to clean up a wrapper or something and she says, " I'm so tired of you telling what to do, you're always telling me things and making me do things, who made you the boss?!"  What? You are only 4 (at the time) not 16. 
Trying to fit his entire fist into his mouth, he really likes to suck on his hands

Erica and I braved the crowds to get us some free frozen yogurt and toppings at Yogurtland.  There were 6 kids and two adults between us and it acutally went suprisingly smooth and the crowd wasn't that  bad.

Sunday Best!

The Sunday before Christmas I took some pictures of the kids in their cute Sunday Christmas outfits.  I somehow got lucky and got a picture of the two both looking at the camera and smiling.
