Uncle Matt

We went out to Uncle Matt's house at the end of April for Destiny's birthday party. He got his old race car out and took Cody for a spin. Literally.

Then of course he had to do the same for Sarah.....

And Wyatt.....

Just kidding, Wyatt only got to sit in the car. :)

But daddy had to try it out, too. He was like a little kid, tearing it up!

easter portraits

I just realized that I never shared these pics. They were not as awesome as the Christmas ones, but they were still pretty good. Especially since I had them taken right before I took Wyatt to his 9 month doctor's appt and found out that he had a double ear infection!

I had a couple taken of just Wyatt in the outfit he wore for his dedication. He looked like such a little man!

Criss cross, applesauce!

Wyatt always sits with his legs crossed. I think it is the funniest thing! He even crosses his legs in the high chair!

And while he is reading Goodnight Moon......

Easter

Cody's favorite gift from his Easter basket- a boat that he picked out.

Sarah's favorite- not surprisingly- candy.

Wyatt's favorite- socks?

We had our annual easter egg hunt and mom and dad's house. Nice hat, Uncle Matt. This is all of the kids lined up to take off!

Sarah loved finding eggs. Cody cried that he didn't get enough. It was a little overwhelming for him. And Wyatt was fascinated. We had lots of cracked eggs to use for deviled eggs!

Guess I put the pictures in the wrong order. Sarah was really good at dying her eggs this year! She wanted all the pretty colors. Cody, once again, was content to make every single egg "camo".

Outside!

Mike has been working on cutting up the logs at the bottom of the driveway. Cody is his little helper and sometimes Sarah decides that she wants to go along. When they finished with the first big pile, Mike asked to take the camera down so he could document how much wood they actually cut up. He got some really cute pics of the kids, too! I will definitely be scrappin' some of these!

Way to go, Daddy!

Wyatt LOVES it in his swing. No puking this year, he is apparently old enough and Sarah pushes him as high as he can go! I love his belly laugh, it is so cute!
Another ENORMOUS accomplishment at my house has been that Sarah (sometimes) and Cody (all the time) have learned how to swing on their own! Yay! It is really difficult to push 3 kids at the same time, so this has helped a lot!

We took a walk out through one of the trails last week, and Cody was climbing all the trees. I don't want to think about my future of ER visits and broken bones! Then the kids ran out to the field and picked me "flowers". It was cute how excited they were.

Of course, I had to display them for a day or two. A bouquet only a mother could appreciate!

My little girl

I can't believe how Sarah is turning into such a little girl. She actually sat the other day and let me braid her hair. It was the first time I tried, and she left it in! She actually was annoyed when Cody tried to put a hat on her, because she said it would mess up her hair. When we were getting ready to go to the pageant at church, she wanted to pick out her dress. She has been really wanting to pick her own clothes lately, and it isn't always a good thing :)
This day, she picked a dress that is a little bit too small, but she did look cute and then she asked me to take her picture. Little diva!

Church songs

The children at church sang some songs for Easter, and I was worried because both Cody and Sarah told me that they were not going to sing. Both other times that Cody was supposed to sing, he wouldn'teven go up front. So, that morning, they both went up front, Sarah insisted on taking her blanket with her and Cody hung on to his friend Jake for dear life, but THEY BOTH WENT UP! They didn't sing, but there's always next time. It was still cute!
