Lemonade stand

We just told the kids that we're going to take a trip to Disneyland this fall and asked that each of them start saving their money so we would be able to go.  Rease and Rhen got serious real quick and decided to set up a lemonade stand to earn money.  They were smart and set it up right where the parents pick their kids up from school in our neighborhood.  They sold all their lemonade and earned $7.00.  That's pretty good for just $.25 a cup!  Good job ladies!  Disneyland here we come!

All about Beck

I have so many pictures of cute Beck and all the things he's been doing lately.  Here's a bunch of my favorites!

Beck is getting his 4 teeth on top.  Showing them off for you!

 Looking so handsome for church and showing his best smile!

 I just started giving Beck PB&J sandwiches for lunch - he can't get enough.  He LOVES them so much!

 And he's learned to stand up in his crib.  Such a sad face looking out at us and pleading to get out of this cage!  

We love our Beck and all that he is doing right now - such a fun age!

4 little monkeys jumping on the bed

Who's kids do this?  Besides mine?  Instead of going to bed like I asked, they take their beds apart and have jumping wars.  I wanted to get mad but instead I took some pictures of each of them jumping.  Then I got mad and sent them to bed!

Cleaning up

My boys love to make a mess.  Is it just a boy thing or what?  If there is cereal on the floor, it's only seconds before it is crunched into bits by Liev or Keen.  If there is something to spill, it's spilled.  Today Liev dumped out the crumbs from a bag of cookies.  Why?  I don't get it.  Anyway, I made him clean it up himself.  And he actually did a good job with it.  What a boy!

Shopping

This is how we grocery shop in our family!  All together and crazy! 

Meditation?

Rhen is such a funny girl.  She's always doing something to make us laugh!  I found her on her bed meditating when she was supposed to be taking a nap.  I couldn't help but laugh at her and snap a picture!

9 months

This is my favorite place to bathe my babies when they are this age - nothing like a good old sink bath!  I took Beck in for his 9 month check up today and it happens to be that he has been sick this week.  Perfect timing to see Dr. Erickson.  He told us that the virus cycle has been really long this year and has never really dropped off since last summer.  I can agree with that because this boy has been sick one time after another since he was born!  Colds, earaches, flu, etc have hit us hard this year.  Luckily Dr. Erickson said it is coming to an end and I hope so!  Even with all that though this boy is super sweet and handles it like a champ.  He has been such a fun addition to our family and the other kids adore him.  He has recently gotten super fast at his army crawl and 'm not sure that I'm ready for him to be on the go yet!  Cute Beck, we sure love you!

9 month stats:

Weight: 20.06 lbs - 39%

Height: 29.72 inches - 88%

Head: 18.8 - 96%

Uncle Andy

Uncle Andy is the best!  He's always having fun and making the kids laugh.  This is the perfect picture to show that!

Real Monarchs

My little bro Garrett got signed with the Real Salt Lake B team, the Monarchs!  It is so fun and excited that he is playing on a professional team and that it is here in Utah!  Their first game was this weekend and we all went to support him.  He actually started and played most of the game too which was an extra bonus!  He played a great game and we look forward to the rest of the season to watch him play!

Easter 2015

We spent Easter at the cabin this year and had a fun time together with the fam!  Of course the highlight of the weekend is the easter egg hunt!  Fun for kids and adults alike!  

 We got home Saturday night and the easter bunny came and left easter baskets for the kids.  He's a tricky little bunny and hides them in secret places and attaches a string so the kids can follow their string to find their basket.  It's so fun for them!  Happy Easter!
