FINALLY, A WARM SUNNY DAY

It seems like it has been taking forever for it to get warm-so when it was (amazingly!) 85 degrees on Monday we decided to have a little fun in the sun. I put the sprinkler out and Logan had fun playing in it and running through it. She was a little timid at first, but then she decided it was fun. I may or may not have laid out too-and got a little burned. oops


She had this cup she kept filling with water and dumping on me. This kept her entertained forever, and kept me cool too. She kept asking me "Mom, you want more water on you?" I would say yes, and she kept going back and forth dumping water on me each time. Cheap entertainment I tell you.
Okay-ignore the pink bouncer-(yes his mom has been too lazy and cheap to buy a blue one)

I am so looking forward to going to the pool in 2 weeks!

Oh my goodness I meant to do this post 2 weeks ago. Where does the time go?? Life sure has been different with two kids as opposed to one. Ever since Cache has gotten out of the newborn (sleep all the time stage) I have been alot busier. He requires alot more attention than Logan did at his age. Simply put.. he cries alot.. and likes to be held alot, and doesn't sleep very well. It makes it hard for me when I want to get something done. Sometimes I can't imagine having more than two kids.. I look at my sisters in law and others and wonder how they do it and always manage to have it "all together"?? They are amazing moms. Sometimes I find myself exhausted with the lack of sleep, crying children, keeping the house clean, changing 500 diapers a day. (no Logan is still not potty-trained) It is not until Logan asks me in her sweet voice"Are you okay mom?" or tells me she loves me or I get a cute dimple smile from Cache that gives me the smallest sense of pride in what I am doing as a mother. Don't get me wrong. I do love being a mom-and I think my kids are the greatest things on earth-but sometimes it can be challenging. Anyway-I don't know why I went on such a long tangent. Motherhood is great-just hard sometimes. I wanted to post a couple pictures of our last trip to Utah. Actually I have been to Utah twice now since my last post. The first time I went because Perry was out of town for a week, and Perry and I went this past weekend (short trip) to go to the supercross in Salt Lake. It was actually really fun-besides the fact we froze our hinies off. Needless to say we got rained on a little-well not a little-more like a downpour. Thank goodness for a large poncho to cover our laps. What is up with the weather lately? I say bring on the heat already!! Anyway, we had a good time in spite of the weather.
Here are a couple pics
Love these of Logan on my sister Lauri's horse. I didn't think she would dare get on the horse-but she did and she loved it.

My great grandma Curtis' 90th birthday. Doesn't she look great for being 90? She is one of the most energetic, healthiest 90 year olds I know.
The bean museum in Provo.
Cache, Hallie, Logan and Brynlee. Logan couldn't get enough of her cute cousins.
We were even able to see some of Perry's family including his brother and wife while they were passing through town on their move to Vegas. Logan was loving playing with the boys.

4 MONTHS

I cannot believe my little guy is 4 months already! (actually he is almost 4and1/2 now) I meant to do this post before leaving town but didn't. Anyway here is a quick update on our little buddy.

-Took him to the Dr. yesterday and he was 13 lbs 3 oz. and 24 inches long. (10-25th percentile) not big but definitely bigger than Logan was at his age.
-Still has a hard time sleeping. Usually wakes up to eat 2-3 times a night. (I also have to give him his bink all the time) Some nights are okay-some are horrible. Hopefully he will start sleeping well and I will stop feeling like a walking zombie. bleh-not used to to it because Logan slept the whole night from 3 months on.
-Loves to have attention.. Perry called him our A.D.D child the other day (attention deficiency disorder) He loves to be played with and talked to all the time.
-He is the spit up King..I keep thinking it will get better the older he gets but it doesn't. I have never been puked on so much-he definitely keeps me busy with laundry.
-He is so ticklish and loves to giggle.
-Yesterday he had his first taste of baby cereal. He wasn't sure what to think.. Most of it ended up on his shirt.
-Loves the sound of the blowdryer. He will stop crying the instant I turn it on.
-He has the biggest dark blue eyes.
-Right now he has a definite grandpa hairdo. Not much on top or the sides but a small dark strip in the back. (He is taking after his grandpa)
-My favorite thing about him is his smile. His dimples are the cutest.
-He has definitely been a challenging baby sometimes but he is the sweetest little guy and I wouldn't trade him for the world.

HAPPY EASTER

Hope everyone had a good easter. I know we did. It was fun this year having Logan be so much more interactive. She had a blast finding eggs, painting eggs, eating candy..the whole bit. Maybe next year Cache will join in on the fun too. WARNING: picture overload

All the cousins had fun coloring eggs at Aunt Brittani's house.

Finished product... I think Logan did 3 or 4 eggs breaking all but one of them..
She woke up Easter morning and was so excited to find that the Easter bunny came and scattered eggs all over the house. She also loved her basket.
Little Mr. Cache..I love this guy..

He kept trying to eat the eggs.
We had a yummy ham dinner at Grant and Brittani's house. The kids had another egg hunt.
Little Missy had no trouble finding eggs.
As soon as we got inside I found her like this-gorging down on all her goodies. She definitely has a sweet tooth.I bought Easter dresses for the kids not realizing that Easter was on conference weekend. (silly me-could've saved myself some money) I had them wear their new outfits the Sunday before and snapped some shots.
The whole fam damily



Hope you had a great Easter too!

FISHING WITH DAD

My husband talked me into going camping last weekend, even though it is still March-yeah we're nuts but it was still fun anyway. While we were there Perry went to get a fish licence and came back with an adorable princess pole for Logan. She thought she was in heaven (princesses are one of her favs right now) When we asked her what she was going to catch she informed us that she was going to catch a crocodile. She constantly cracks me up. Anyway-we went fishing for a couple hours and much to our dissapointment we didn't catch a crocodile or a fish..oh well..At least it was nice to enjoy the sun. Here are some pictures of fishing.


Cache was content staying in his warm car seat..
I knew the weather was too good to last because the next day we woke up to this....
Lovely right?? Brings back memories of camping at this same spot last year. Thank goodness for a warm trailer or we would have high tailed it out of there. We spent most of the day inside the trailer being entertained by this silly girl..

After being cooped up in the trailer all day we went for a ride and saw lots of these..
Maybe next time we go it will be warm...fingers crossed.
