Living Things~

Lincoln's first grade class just did a unit on living things. They each grew a plant from home, Lincoln grew basil (which we can not wait to eat!). He also had to do a report in front of the class, he did a great job, we are so proud of him!! He is just getting so big!

~Memorial Day at the Zoo~

We have a Zoo membership and the kids love going to see the animals! The twins would go there everyday if they could! They are in such a cute stage right now, Jack's favorite thing to say is "Hey what's that??" I love it! It is easy to appreciate my two little toddlers when I see how fast the other ones have grown. I wish I could keep them all at this age now... in bed by 8:00 and attached to my hip!

Sweet and Sassy~

Addy had a great time at her cousin's Birthday party last week! It was at a place called sweet and sassy. They have a cat walk so the girls can walk down the run way, they get their nails and hair done too! Oh and of course a lot of glitter make up to go a long with it. This is a dream place for Addy! After she got over her initial shyness she really had a good time! She picked all braids for her hair- This is something she asks me to do at home " 6 braids please mommy!"

DONUT BOY

This is my sneaky little boy Jack. I spotted him getting the EMPTY box of dunkin' donuts down from the counter! After realizing it was empty he tried to LICK the box!!!!!
Once he caught me taking his picture he was so upset, he charged the camera!!!

Spring Baseball~

Baseball season has started!!! This year Lincoln is playing tee ball and he is lucky enough to have two coaches... his dad and his sister, coach Addy!!! Their games are pretty entertaining- Lincoln was out in the field with no mitt on at one point, and then came up to bat with his helmet on backwards! They have a snack shack, I am going to test it out and see if the hamburgers are as good as Spanish Fork's were back when I was playing!!
Coach Addy~ Ready to go, with her "coach's face" on!!!

My baby turns 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lincoln had his 7th birthday this weekend.... wow how time flies!!! I cant believe my first baby is seven years old! I still remember his chubby cheeks and his little fat feet with dimples on them!!! It is hard to believe that little baby has grown into a handsome, loving boy! He is such a big helper, sometimes he has more patience, and can deal better with the twins than me!! I love how caring he is! I don't think I have seen him have a day when he wasn't happy! He is my angel.. We love you Lincoln and are so glad you are in our family!! Thanks for being such a great boy and bringing such happiness to our family! You are a special boy!!! His most exciting present.......
Okay I am not a fan of snakes... I can do lizards and crocodiles~ Wouldn't you know my son wants the reptile guy for his party! It was a 7 year old boys dream, snakes, lizards, baby crocs..what more could you ask for!! The boys had a great time... I sat on the patio and took pictures from there!!!
Yes this is a real snake that they brought to my house... good thing it went home with them!!!
This is where we found Addy when all of the boys arrived and were running wild in the backyard. She found a safe spot to observe....in her room staring out the window! I love this picture!

Springdale Farms~

Living in Rochester my kids have not been exposed to any sort of farm life, besides a dog and the squirrels that live in our backyard! It was spring break and actually nice outside for once, so we drove to a place called Springdale Farms. They got to see the dairy cows, horses, brand new baby sheep and pigs. They loved it! We also visited the zoo this week, had picnics, and Lincoln and Addy did tennis camp! A lot of people escape Rochester over break and go to Florida, luckily we had great weather and the kids could play outside all day! Addy posing with the cow!
