End of Swim Lessons at the Rec Center

Beej & Chris

 The kids had such a good time at swim lessons. They learned a lot doing two sets of classes in a row. They are now finished with the Rec Center lessons for now, but will be doing another set of lessons at someone's house in the summer to keep them going.





 I LOVE this picture. It shows how much fun these two have together. I especially love Connor's facial expression as he tries to hide his smile.

Our good friends Brinlee and Everett

Beej & Chris

While Brinlee and Everette's mom and dad were moving into their NEW HOUSE- the kids came over to play at the apartment!

Each child got to make their own Playdough.



We then went to the park for a Pic Nic.
Kaylee and Connor have grown up with these friends and we sure love them!

Fun with Cousins

Beej & Chris

Visiting Grandma Scott's house to play with cousins.
Playing with those same cousins at the Dinosaur play area at City Creek. Cousins are the best!
Lately, the kids have been enjoying getting dressed up in mom and dad's clothes. It all started with dad having the kids wear our shirts to bed at night when their pajamas were dirty. They loved it!

Carrying sweet baby Ashlynn on a walk outside the apartment. I really don't use this wrap very often because it takes stronger back muscles than I have. But I should, because she loves to cuddle when she sleeps so this is perfect for her.

Ashlynn moves to crib

Beej & Chris

We kept Ashlynn in the co-sleeper for longer than normal since we're in the apartment.  We didn't want her waking the kids up, but we finally decided to move her over.

We had an ip camera we used at first when we put her in the crib to keep an eye on her.  In the end, the sound quality was not great on it so we ended up getting a normal monitor.

Christie also bought a white noise maker which also has a small projector on it for Ashlynn.  She loves listening to the sounds and sometimes watches the images.

It's nice to have our room back to ourselves... though she ends up back in our bed on occasion.

Ham!

Beej & Chris

Connor really knows how to ham it up... literally!  He loves ham!  It is his favorite food.  We can get him to eat lots of different meat by telling him it tastes like ham.  

We were over with Christie's aunt and grandma.  They offered us some ham to take home with us.  Connor said he would hold the bag, and when we got home, this is what we found...

He sure loves his ham!

It's a good thing the kids know how to have fun since all of them share a room in the apartment... It's a fair size room, but we're excited to have a bit more room.

Great Grandma and Grandpa Scott

Beej & Chris

It is always fun going up to Great Grandma and Grandpa Scott's house. We went up there for a Easter BBQ and Hunt


ALL unmarried grandkids were assigned Easter Eggs to find.





Aunt Sherrie and Uncle Curtis
Daddy was sneaky and would re-hide the eggs for the older grand kids

Great Grandma Scott

I love that their house is not huge because in the end it really doesn't matter; everyone finds a spot on the ground to sit when we all come to visit. It just brings us all closer.



Opening all the eggs

General Conference

Beej & Chris

Each morning the kids come and find me in my bed usually asleep with Ashlynn asleep next to me. She sleeps most of the night in her crib, but ends up in bed with me if she gets up early ready to eat. The kids than usually sneak in and ask me if they can watch cartoons. Kaylee then turns on the cartoons herself. They are growing up too fast :(

This year for General Conference we used the Conference packets the kids got from Primary.

They had an activity for each letter of the Alphabet. They even got to punch out the holes on each page with a golf tee which they thought was pretty cool.

Kaylee's Conference Crown.
The kids did really well with the packets...especially Kaylee. She loves coloring and crafts in general. Connor loved it as well. We may have found a new fun thing to do during General Conference!

We then headed off to go see Great Grandma and Grandpa Scott. We were excited to go see Grandma Scott in Idaho Saturday, but were really sad to miss the afternoon Conference talks. We recorded the talks and BJ went to the Priesthood session that night. But next year we plan to stay home and listen to all the session. We both love General Conference and gain a lot from each session and hope we can pass this love on to our kids. What a blessing we have to have a Prophet on the Earth today.
