A Little Bit of Crazy

 

So warm weather is finally getting here! In the last month we have done some fun things. This post has lots of pictures off my phone. They may not be the best quality but we still wanted to share!

 

We went to the Museum and saw the carousel exhibit! There were some pretty old horses.

Brayden was awarded his Wolf in Cub Scouts! His birthday is coming up and he will then be a Bear!

Doctor Appointments where they spend a lot of time waiting and playing on the "swirly" stool!

We went to the Kite Festival and the kids all got to make and fly a kite. We ended up leaving and purchasing higher quality kites up the street and flying them at a local school.

Brenda's choir concert! She sings with The Choralaires!

 

 

Shopping and being silly!

Spending time outside and taking long walks!

 

In all the fun, we get so tired!

 She will sleep just about anywhere. Kaytlin thought she needed to wake up to food!

 

Our Mother's Day gift to our Moms!

EASTER

 

We had so much fun this year! We colored eggs on Saturday at Grandpa and Grandma Dawson's house with cousins.

On Sunday morning the Easter bunny brought each of the kids a basket with some goodies and some other things. Brayden got a new shirt, the movie Wreck it Ralph, and some sand shovels. Kaytlin got a new outfit (seen below) and lots of sand toys. Alayna got a new outfit (seen below), the movie I love Minnie Mouse along with some sand shovels. Alayna ate so much candy before breakfast and had so much in her mouth she barfed!  

After church we went back to Grandpa and Grandma Dawson's house and had lunch and an Easter Egg hunt.

 

We are so blessed with the knowledge, testimony, faith, and love of Jesus Christ and having an eternal family! We are so thankful for the atonement and what it has meant in our lives individually and as a family! We love you all and hope you have the Love of Christ with you Always!

Waiting for the race to begin!

His cheering squad!

 Daddy, Mommy, Kaytlin, Alayna, Aunt Becky, Grandpa and Grandma Dawson

 The girls watching the races! Someone even gave Kaytlin a car to play with!

 

 

His car statistics!

After they raced for speed they all tried the Circle Of Death!

About half the cars didn't make it through but Brayden did!

 

All the boys had a blast and at the finish they all celebrated!

 

Brayden came in 12th out of 26 racers!

He was awarded the Most Creative Car!

 

EXTRAS

 

Kaytlin loves playing in the snow! 

 

When Alayna is tired she zonks! I carried her in from the car and she still slept on!

 

Alayna's new Christmas dress!

 

Kaytlin's new Christmas Dress!

 

My big boy Brayden!

 

The kids together without fighting!

 

Quick trip to Salt Lake City!

 

 

 

Good thing for the double stroller!

All the walking we did the girls would have been in full fledged melt down 30 minutes into it!

 

Early one morning the girls got ahold of Brayden's helicopter and it ended up in Kaytlin's hair! As you can well imagine her hair was wrapped around it so tightly and she was freaking out. As I was attempting to get it out I told her "I might have to cut you hair short to get it out" and she was less than thrilled. It came out without a problem though!

 

 The girls playing together and taking turns being horsy!

Daddy's cuddles from Alayna.

Our Day Off

 

For the last few weeks the kids have been begging me to take them sledding before the snow disappears! Well the snow is almost gone so I decided it was about time. Brayden didn't have school today so we all loaded up in the car with the sleds and went sledding. I figured the kids would only last a half hour or an hour at the most but I was wrong! We were there for at least two hours! It was Kaytlin and Alayna's first time and they had a blast!

 

 Watch out for that tree! Had to teach Kaytlin what it means to bail off!

 At the bottom of the hill there was a pavilion and Brayden managed to find it many trips down!

 We will definately be going back again soon maybe even later today when Josh gets home! The kids were cold but had smiles on their faces the whole time!

5

 

I personally can't believe it but it's true! Kaytlin turned 5! Her birthday fell on a Wednesday this year. We let her choose how we celebrated it as a family and she wanted to get dinner from Red Robin and then go swimming so we did!

 

 

 

Then on Friday we had a little party with extended family.

 

 

 

Grandpa Dawson helping get her new toys out of the boxes!

 

Her birthday cake that she picked out with daddy!

 

 

Here is a small glimpse of what Kaytlin does day in and day out!
