April Re-cap

Enjoying the break between General Conference sessions in early April at Gma Tigger's house. Beautiful weather and great to hear the words of the prophet together as a family.

Vincent making Spring/Easter crafts - one of his favorite activities.

A cold morning at Gma Cooper's Easter Egg Hunt at San Antonio Heights fire station. Thank goodness Gma had sweaters for the girls b/c it was cold and wet.

Hadley posing by a horse (I missed the cute bunny ears that the horses were wearing).

The kids came home and dyed easter eggs with A.Molly (Two things I don't do: dye easter eggs & make/decorate Christmas sugar cookies - thank goodness the kids have Molly.)

Lauren getting an impromptu bath & not enjoying the help from big brother.

Hadley playing in the dollhouse she built. My favorite is how the tricycle provides one of the walls - she is always fun to clean up after.

A fun visit from A.Laura & Gma Tigger. They certainly tried to tire Laura out. Here they are playing choo choo train. (Actually Hadley is going underwater while playing Magic School Bus.)

Lauren & Gma playing on the laptop. (It was a Christmas gift for Hadley to learn her letters/numbers but she has probably touched it twice since then. V & L love the thing.)
Getting ready for the first swim of the season.


Tired - but not leaving mom's side in the kitchen.

Happy Birthday Vincent!

Vincent turned 3 today! Where better to celebrate than - DISNEYLAND!! First trip this morning was to the doctor and . . . no shots! A.Molly had a sleepover and came with all of us.


Yesterday we celebrated his birthday with all of his Grandparents, A. Molly and U.Brig. He requested a football cake and Molly happily obliged.

He loved all of his gifts including a book made by A.Laura, car toys, a new helmet, dominos, a zoom-o, and new clothes.
A little about him: If you come to our house you will notice spray bottles that are in 'time-out' because the boy LOVES to go around spraying his sisters or things that are leather, upholstered or carpeted. Yesterday Chris sprayed him to give him a taste of his own medicine and he had a breakdown - there was no sympathy.
He is full of questions and extremely curious as to why he can't have oreos or fruit snacks for breakfast. I think I've explained it but he'll try his luck every morning anyway.
Loves his blankie - holes and all.
Kicks and throws with his left foot and arm. (For some reason Chris is very excited by this fact)
"Potty? What's that?"

4 . . . 3 . . . 2 . . . 1

Cousins ages 4, 3, 2 and 1:

Duck Duck Goose

Ultimate Duck Duck Goose with 1 - 4 year olds (and an 8 year old).

Potpourri of Lauren

"Do I look comfortable?"

Just thrilled to be sitting at the big kid table.

"Wha chu talkin' about Willis?"

Together With Cousins

We had a fun visit from our Arizona cousins as well as Cameron & Carolyn last week. The kids had a great time playing and Lauren LOVED all the attention she got.

Kyle pushed Lauren around on this train many many many times.

Don't worry, according to Vincent he wasn't tired, he just died from the sword fighting.

Downtown Upland bakery stop.

Kyle was a great 'older cousin' who entertained the little ones with duck duck goose and a myriad of other win/lose games - it's never too early to learn how to be a good sport! (We heard things like: "Cameron step forward. You are not the winner . . .")

Brainteasers

this time, by Vincent (all of these took place within a 30 second period).

"How do you walk?"
"Why do people need legs?"
"Why do people need birthday hats?"
"Why do people need slides?"


Also, you know your son needs a brother when you ask him why he's doing 'knuckles' to the refrigerator door and he says, "Cause hims a friend." Ummmm . . . okay.
