Babies!

Last Saturday, I went to a double baby shower for my cousins (who are twins)! We had so much fun giggling and catching up! I am elated to have cousins that are starting their families! Vanessa (on the left) is due in July, and Stephanie (on the right) is due just 8 weeks behind her in September! Just 2 weeks before me! What fun time for us!

Kaley's last day of Preschool

Kaley's last day of preschool was last week. They had a little picnic party for the families.

Bella was enjoying teasing Dad with her close up faces! She is silly!

The kids did a little play for the parents. Kaley didn't do it, but did sit to the side and laugh at the other kids. It was really a cute play.

Good job, Kaley! We're proud of you!

Josh walked the kids home from the park, (the big kids rode their bikes, and Bella rode). Bella was all tuckered out by the time they made it home!

Planting our garden

A couple weekends ago, we planted our garden! The kids loved to help! We planted beets, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and corn! We will see how we do this year!

Thomas' special day!

I made Thomas a cape for his birthday. I think he liked it... :)

And he got a big kid bike! He had no trouble at all pedaling! He did not want to get off of it all day! He didn't want lunch or dinner - which is saying something for this kid!

Showing me that the bike's name is Flash!

Bella helping Mommy make Thomas' cake! Yum!

The finished product...

We went up to Kaysville to celebrate with Grandma and Grandpa. Their yard is so beautiful, so I made Bella and Kaley walk around with me so I could take some pictures!

Ready to ride!

Any time Bella sees horses or cows, she lets out a squeal! She is getting better at making animal sounds, but sometimes just gets too excited!

Love that look in his eye!

The kids new favorite thing to do when they visit Grandma and Grandpa is go on a bike ride! They have a trail right by their house that is perfect! Grandma and Grandpa are such good troopers!

Thomas and his cake

Blowing out those candles! Happy birthday, Dude!

Happy Birthday, Big T!

I can't believe this little guy is 3 years old! What a little stud he is! I would love to freeze Thomas' little face in this stage forever! I love his chubby cheeks and big blur eyes! I love the way he tells me, "Mommy, I just love you so much!" He is so full of energy and curiosity! When he gets really excited, it takes him a minute to spit out what he is trying to say. His little brain goes way faster than his mouth! When his mouth catches up, Kaley will have a run for her money! He is such a sweet brother to Kaley and Bella, especially Bella. I love the way he watches over her, and takes care of her. I can't wait to see how he will be with the twins! I know he will love them! I love how athletic my boy is! He is ALL boy! He loves to play baseball, basketball, football, soccer, golf - you name it! We got him a bike for his birthday this year, and he didn't even hesistate! He knew just what to do! (pics to come!) We love our Thomas! Hope you have a great birthday, Buddy!
