Easter Egg Hunt

Hannah and Logan put on a little get together for the family in honor of Mr. Tatum Hide French's baby blessing the next day. After eating the kids went out for a fun easter egg hunt. We had been trying to train Bree for this event because she so easily gets distracted. She pulled it off with about 10 eggs. But more importanly she gave a perfect performance on being cute as a button.

Kate knew just what to do and filled up her bag pretty fast. However, I think she was a little predjuice to eggs that were blue, green, yellow, and orange because for some reason she only found pink and purple ones.

We also celebrated Terry's 60th Birthday. What a lucky guy with all those candles on his cake.

Broken Arm... again

Does this look like deja vu to anyone?

Think back 8 months ago.

Think pink.

Think about the wildest little girl in the west.

YEP.

She did it again. Same arm. Almost same spot. Different color cast.

How you might ask? She fell off the top bunk playing with Bree. I didn't see how it happened but it scared me when she screamed bloody murder and I saw her lying on the floor. Not knowing if it was broken or just sprained we waited a day to take her in to my cousin. She was such a good sport and went through the whole doctor visit like a pro. So here's to the next 4 weeks - it should be fun,

Baby #3 is a ....

This evening we found out what we're having. As always it was super exciting and i could hardly wait. Was it going to be a girl and I'd get my 3 girls and cute and matching? Was it going to be a boy and I'd get to experience all the fun of having a son. I really thought it was a girl because of the high heart beat and all the sweets I've been craving. Spencer thought it was a boy just because he wanted a boy..and because the voodoo pencil said so. So what is it?

It's a ....

BOY!!!

The first time we found out with Kate I could see a thing on the screen. It all looked like fuzzy black and white dots and spots. With Bree it was easier. With this one it was a sinch. It helped that it was a boy too and his "truncka" was out in the open to see.

Kate was a little sad when we came back and told her - she wanted another sister and she was a little worried that Spencer would now play with baby brother more than her. He quickly reassured her that wouldn't be the case. Bree had no reaction at all. I don't even think she knows she's going to be a big sister in 6 months. Spencer is bouncing off the walls. As for me, I'm a little nervous as to the how's and do's of a boy but I'm sure I'll figure them out just fine.

We are so excited for this little one to be in our family.

Nap?

I caught this little piece of heaven today. It's not very often - actually it's a miricale if Kate takes a nap not to mention snuggling up to her dad. Love it!

Spencer's arm fell asleep pretty bad but it was totally worth it :)

Snow Day

It's been a very mild winter so when it snowed today the girls were out playing in it. Oh and spencer finally got to plow - he's been patiently waiting since November. Grandma, Grandpa, Cory and Becky were down too so they played with us.

Valentines Day Breakfast

Happy Valentine's Day!

The girls woke up to balloons and flowers from their dad and just the best (not the healthiest) breakfast - strawberry milk and doughnut holes. Kate was pretty happy as doughnuts are one of her favorites. Bree went straight for the milk - the girl loves her some pink milk.

The rest of the day we all played together as a family.
Love Love Love my little family.

Swimming

We took the girls and some friends swimming tonight. Kate really liked having friends to play with her. Bree only lasted for 20 minutes before her lips were purple and she was shivering. So her and I got a doughnut and watch spencer chase the other kiddos.

Kate, Isaac, Jared, Alyssa

What's She Thinkin'?

Kate has said and done some pretty funny things and I'm afraid that I'll forget them so I am writing them here where everyone can enjoy them.

10-12-12 Spencer picked up Kate from school today and she proceed to tell him that she told her whole class our phone number. Spencer was shocked because he didn't think she even knew our cell numbers. So he asked her to tell him and she quickly replied "2". 2 is Spencer and my speed dial for each other. Ha!

5-18-11 We got some lunch at Del Taco where the kids could play. There was a boy with long hair playing there too and Kate says in front of everyone, "Mom, hers a boy, for real !" The little boys mom just chuckled.

4-24-11 It was Easter Sunday and Kate asked about the Resurection... the rest of the convo went like this...

Kate: Mom what's the resurection?

Me: It's when you come back to life after you die

Kate: what does that look like?

Me: Oh it's pretty

Kate: So it's Pink?

3-20-11 Kate got some Barbies from a neighbor family who now has older children. She's been playing with non-stop and when Spencer asked her the name of one of the Barbies she quickly replied, "oh her name is Porky". That Barbie is sure to have a complex now.

3-20-11 Spencer and Kate were talking about the garden we want toplat this year and Kate said this... "Daddy, I want to grow a hugen pumpkin and call it Humpkin"

2-10-11 Kate and my mom were talking about riding horses and my mom asked Kate what her horses name was, she took a second to think about it and then replyed, "He's a pink horse named blue. "

9-29-10 Kate was in a bad mood and wanted something that I wasn't going to get her so she gave me the stink eye and then said,"mommy i'm magic and going to disapear from here and then ride my bike to get a treat at the store with daddy!".

9-17-10 Kate is in Spencer's football pool and she makes her picks each week by pointing to the team she wants to win. The other day she was coloring and Spencer was reading off the teams and Kate was telling him who she wanted.

Spencer: Jets or Patriots?

Kate: humm.... Jets because they're in the bathtub

Spencer: What?

Kate: daddy i said Jets because they're in the bathtub!

We have a jetted tub that kate likes to play in and turn on the "jets" and once he remembered that it was just common sense to pick the Jets... because they're in the bathtub.

7-26-10 Kate was telling me how she wanted someone to play with. I told her that I would play with here but she looked at me with her big eyes and said, "no mommy, not you. I want someone little like Brooke, Austin, or D-Bo." (D-bo is my dad)

5-9-10 After church we decided to go to the park. When I asked Kate which park she wanted to go to she said the red one. I told her I didn't know where that one was and then she said... "It's in utah idaho american south." Got it.

10-4-09 Spencer asked Kate if she wanted some ice-cream and she replied, "I sure do!"

10-1-09 Kate was in the tub while I was getting ready when I heard her singing like Ariel, "ah ahh ahh, ahh ah ahhh". When I looked at her she was on her belly and I started to laugh. She then quickly sat up and said, "what mommy?"

9-16-09 Kate's new favorite movie is the Little Mermaid. She was watching it when she turned to me and said, Mommy, I want to go to the ocean floor to say HI to Ariel and all the fishies".

9-1-09 It was past Kate's bed time when she asked to watch "Dora". I told her no because it was time for bed. Then she asked if she could watch football. Spencer perked right up and gave me a look like how was he supposed to turn that down? I guess she was willing to do anything to say up. Te-he-he We compromised by reading books together as a family.

8-27-09 Kate and I were driving in a construction zone in Provo when she saw a very large building crane. Then she said, "Mommy, I want to get in my bathing suit and ride that dinosaur."

8-23-09 Kate went into Spencer's office and said in a very frim voice, "Dad, I need my own computer." My dad says we're done for because Kate is already smarter than both Spencer and I.

8-20-09 Kate's new favorite things to do is hide things in drawers and cupboards. Just recently I have found Monk-monk in almost every drawer in the house - she even hid him while we were camping in Grandma camper. I have also found a hot pocket, a beach ball, sippy cups, hair accessories, shoes, measuring cups, small books and toys, and all sorts of stuff. I still giggle when I find things but I'm sure this will get very annoying very soon.

8-9-09 We were late to church so we just grabbed the first chairs we could see in the overflow. As soon as we sat down both Spencer and I looked at each other and gasped - the young lady in front of us had the worst body order EVER!! Kate didn't notice at first but it didn't take her long before she said very loud, "Eww that's stinky! Stinky mommy stinky!" As most 2 year olds do, she kept repeating those words. Needless to say we had to get up and move after the opening prayer.

7-22-09 "Mommy, see the mountains. I love them so much!"

6-22-09 We were all watching some T.V. when Kate came up to Spencer and I holding her Mrs. Potato Head and said, "What the Chicken?"

6-1-09 Spencer and Kate were looking at a rainbow in the sky when Spencer decided to name off all the colors in the rainbow, "Blue, purple, green, yellow and red" Then Kate looks at him and say, "And orange daddy, and orange". What 2 year old would know what color he didn't say?

5-30-09 Kate was having a hard time falling asleep so I laid in the guest bed with her to help calm her down. I was almost asleep when I heard some strange noises. Then a small voice says, "that was me". This went on for a good five minutes and I couldn't help but to snicker a few times at the silly noises she would make and then follow with "that was me" just in case I didn't know who or what was making those sounds.

5-20-09 A man with brown shoulder length hair walks onto the airplane. Kate points at him and says, "Jesus mommy, Jesus!!" She repeats this about 4 times while pointing right at him and each time she says it louder and louder.

5-9-09 I was taking some vitamins and Kate wanted some so I filled a syringe with water when she wasn't looking and told her to open big for her medicine. She did and then looked up at me with her big brown eyes and a face of disappointment and with a sigh said, "water mommy?" My mouth fell open and for a second I didn't know what to say then I started laughing.
