Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

 They didn't catch the leprechaun, but he did leave some green surprises.


 Bryce, Cole, and the Mustache.  So not a fan of Mustache march!!!
The boys decorating their St. Patty's day cupcakes.
Grammy took the boys to church this past Sunday so I could pack my hospital bag in hopes that Pony would come on St. Patty's day.  Lots of contractions that night, but no sign of her.  She's the boss.
Getting ready for bed, and the boys kissing and telling Pony to come on out.  She is not listening, or maybe she knows that she is better off inside:)

Bryce's Kickaroo Class

Bryce is following his brother's footsteps.  He loves soccer.  He is taking a fun little indoor soccer class.  Bryce loves it.  He says he runs fast like a cheetah, and he is really fast.  And he is a good little dribbler and loves to score goals.


Chase's First time riding without training wheels, soccer, and basketball

 Dad teaching Chase to ride a bike.  Didn't take too long to figure it out.  Now just need the weather to warm up so he can get better.

 Chase's last indoor winter soccer leauge.  It was too hard to take pictures since we had to sit behind the glass to watch, but took a snapshot of the kids final bow to the parents.
Cole and I coached Chase's kindergarden basketball team at the end of last year.  It was a little bit of work and felt like babysitting at times, but Cole and I really enjoyed being able to work with Chase and getting to know the other kids on the team.  Our favorite games were when everyone was able to make a basket or contribute to the team.  It was a great experience for us.  We didn't keep score, but we were one of the top teams and Chase turned out to be one of the best basketball players on our team.

Happy Valentines Day and Chase's Class Musical

 Love these two cuties!!!!

 Bryce and Chase checking out what mom and dad got them for Valentines Day before we headed off to school.

 Chase excited to give his teacher, Mrs. Frisch, a rose.  Teaching my boys young that girls like flowers.
Bryce with his teacher Mrs. Katrice(above) and Mrs. Gigi(below).  Bryce was so cute.  He helped me pick out some roses before preschool and was so excited to give them to his teachers.  Bryce just started at Creation Corner Preschool this past January and goes on Tues and Thurs. from 9:30 to 2:30.  Took him a few times to adjust, but now he likes it and he loves Ms. Gigi.

Snow Days Galore this Winter


 Chase was able to get a lot of sledding in this winter with all the snow days.  I think we have had 10 snow days where school was cancelled this winter due to snow and cold.  Got to love these midwest winters.  I like the snow, just not the bitter weather.

 Bryce loves to paint the snow.
Swim date at the Y with my boys.
 With all the home days, we did lots of science experiments.  My boys love to use the droppers and make things erupt, or bubble, or slime.


 Bryce is my goggle man/mask man.  He seems to always have on masks or goggles, or finds some necklace, and then he usually has some sort of toy in his hand that he is using as a sword.
Homemade bobsleds.  My boys loved watching the winter Olympics.

New Years Eve 2013 at Temple Square


We were sad Dad had to be back to work in Illinois, but the kids and I enjoyed hitting downtown Salt Lake New Years Eve with Grammy and Grampy.  Yummy food at P.F. Changs and then walked around the beautiful temple square lights.  Happy New Year, can't wait for 2014 and adding one more little one to my cute family.  I am truly blessed.  So grateful for a loving Heavenly Father and Savior, and their wonderful plan for us.


Made me laugh, it was the last picture of the night.  I think the boys were cold and done:)

Christmas Morning 2013


Cute Cousins Christmas Morning.  We had a wonderful Christmas.  It had been way too long  since we had been home to celebrate Christmas with family.  And luckily Santa was able to find us in Utah.











One of many games that Aunt Kara would play with Chase.  Chase loved Aunt Kara, "Go Fish".
