K-Day 43

I just thought this was a neat pic of Danielle during her game today. I'm not sure why stopped up on her toes or what she is really doing, in fact I didn't even notice this when I took the pic. But it looks cool whatever the purpose! Go D!

"I seeeeeeee you!"

Thank you Dbacks, for putting giant free taco smiles on our faces!

My orchid tree is fully abloom. How cool is that?

This is the Gingerbread House. It is an older picture, I left my camera in Laveen (I am at the GB House).

My Ian is turning into such a cute little chunk :)

Connor loves to drink his bathwater. It's pretty gross if you ask me, but I guess he probably won't die from it.

K-Day 42

Sammy has a facination with all of Danielle's flats. He goes into her room and drags all of them out, he knows each color and loves to wear them. What a funny little guy! Guess he takes after his big brother after all.

K-Day 41

I could have sworn I did this last night! But oh well, today I discovered that the "weeds" that have been popping up all over are really tulips! Here is the first one to bloom.

Bryt: Day 41

Sometimes it really amazes me how quickly kids learn. Morgan can now recognize all the letters in her name, although she cannot put them in the right order without a little help! She is just getting so big! And, she drew those little guys on the bottom: I was informed the one on the left is me and the one on the right is her, complete with pigtails and some tiny legs. Seriously, she is just getting way too big, WAY too fast!

Today was my mother-in-law's birthday. Laura and I made a triple layer chocolate truffle cake decorated with almond slice flowers. I got an amazing picture of her about to blow out her candle, but I was threatened with exile to the backyard if I posted it, so you get this one instead.

Happy Birthday Kristi

I have wanted and failed to get pictures of the Salt River with real water in it. As we crossed over the 19th Av bridge, once again I said "self, you need to get pictures of the river while they are releasing water." We were both in anxious to get home, so this is the Salt River from the window of the car, through the fence.

K-Day 40

We fed the missionaries tonight, after dinner the kids insisted that they go out and show off the tire swing. After playing around a little Elder Kavatoe ran and jumped on it like he was Tarzan. He was hysterical! Both swung and had a blast, it was so hard picking which picture to post!

Bryt: Day 40

While Morgan and I were "racing" to see who could finish their sandwich first, she started taunting me about how tiny my bites were! It's official, she has a personality of her own!

Ro: Day 40

Today it was 92 degrees outside, 85 inside. No Bueno. But hey, when life gives you lemons make lemonade, right? So we did. And since we also had strawberries, we decided to make it strawberry lemonade. Now we just need to get our swamp cooler up and running.

K-Day 39

Today was Kody's last game, I took this pic of him "chilling" while histeam did great at keeping the ball on the other half of the field. But the reason I posted it, has to do with the boy behind him to the right. I'm hoping he's not, but it looks like he is peeing off the side of the track! When we were looking through all the pics I took from our busy afternoon, with 2 games and 1 gymnastics class, everyone voted for the peeing boy! I guess when you gotta go, you gotta go!

Bryt: Day 39

I hereby relinquish my right to claim to be the only amateur photographer who resides in the Eddy household. I now share the title with Morgan, who will henceforth be depended on to take all the back-up photos when I, the Senior Blogger, do not feel as though I would like to do so.
Go forth with camera, Little One.

I will be the first to say that I hate doing dishes. Hate it with a passion as strong as a million suns. However, I will also be the first to say that doing dishes using my mother-in-law's new dishwasher is a lot more bearable. So here's to you Bosch dishwasher, and to not having to wash dishes twice.

This is the first time we have been at the Gingerbread house when Lynx Creek has been running. We were so excited!!! Of course it doesn't take much to get us excited.

Bryt: Day 38

I just thought he was too cute with his little bum up in the air...

Ro: Day 38

I was in the process of posting something else when I heard this going on behind me.

Diane Day 38, April 7

Month 5 of the 12 Months of Christmas came early to some. I tried to create a special moment for two of my daughters. Helping them to feel how wonderful it is to be a woman with Elder Uchtdorf's new book. I'm not sure that totally succeeded, but I have faith the one day they will feel the spirit. Perhaps during Month 5, May, Mother's Day.

Isn't this the cutest mushroom you've ever seen? It is a painted bowl on top of a stump. Toooooo cute for garden deco. She had other shrooms on skinny sticks with metal polka bowls.

One thing Walt wanted to do while at Kirk's was to trek over to Henefer, Utah where his great grandfather was called to settle after living 6 years in Salt Lake. Being there in the snow gave us an appreciation for pioneers who trekked through this to follow the Lord.

K-Day 38

It's funny how people are meant to be in your lives. This man was the man who has been present for all the important events in mine and my sister's life, he was the one who baptized and blessed us when we needed it. I always felt a little slided for not having a dad like this while growing up...who would've thought he would become my father later in my life, when he could play dinosaurs with my youngest son and rawr with the best of them! Funny how things always come around and we see that life wasn't all that bad!

Bryt: Day 37

This picture just goes to show that unlike the sweatervest, which both baby boys and old men can miraculously pull off, wearing pants up to your chest is just silly no matter how durn cute you are :)

Ro: Day 37

Only took 18 months but Connor finally got his first ice cream cone today. He didn't do much with it. He was more interested in the Jell-o cubes daddy kept bringing to him.

K-Day 37

Secret coloring tent, I think more coloring is being done on himself, instead of the paper.

K-Day 36

Today we attended opening day of the DBacks! Thanks to my mother in law who bought the entire family tickets and food, everyone was so excited to get there!

Bryt: Day 36

I was just dying today because of this. Seriously. I couldn't even think about it without busting out laughing. The actual occurence is really not that amusing and here's the story behind it:

Morgan buckled herself into Ian's bouncer/rocker thing and because she is 100% into the "I do it myself" stage, instead of admitting she needed help getting the thing unbuckled, she walked around with it attached to her for a couple hours. If she needed to turn, she would do this little small-stepped- swivel to the side and then correct and keep on chuggin.

BUT, the part that made me giggle was how much she reminded me of that junk lady from the old 80s classic "The Labyrinth" Ohhhh what a good laugh.

What is it exactly about General Conference that just lulls adults to sleep like babies? Okay, okay, I know it's terrible, and I really did think it was a great conference, I just thought this was great too! (and please excuse how slobbish we all are...we had loads of junk food and the like out to keep us awake. It didn't exactly work)

Ro: Day 35

He wouldn't carry the basket around with him, and he kept getting distracted by eating the candy inside as soon as he found an egg, but I thought he was as cute as could be gathering his eggs.

K-Day 35

Nothing beats a Medieval Easter Egg.

Diane Day 35

We woke up this Easter morning to a couple of inches of snow. It was all melted after the morning session of conference. I guess that this is typical for spring in Pleasant Grove, Utah.

Bryt: Day 34

AND, THEY'RE OFF!!!!!
It's Morgan out wide, I think this girl's got a plan, it looks, wait, YES it's true she's passing up all the other kids to skirt the sides and get the eggs on the far side of the field! Wow, what a race people, what a race!
(that was all in a very cool announcer voice in case you just couldn't tell)

Ro: Day 34

Tonight we had a girl's night during the Priesthood Session. We ate pizza, watched a chick flick and then got cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory. Aaron even came home and took Connor out to dinner with the rest of the guys so we could eat our cheesecake in peace.

Tonight as we were coloring eggs, Sammy was having too much fun! He kept grabbing eggs and throwing them in the dye, whether they had one in them already or not. When I asked him to show me his egg, he would laugh. This is him actually laughing and having too much fun. Funny to think that we forget how much fun it is to have a toddler, and difficult to do even the simplist activities.

Bryt: Day 33

When I woke up this morning, this is what Morgan was wearing. I asked JD if she dressed herself (he gave me a "well duh" look, but hello, he's a man and sometimes you just never can tell) and he said she wouldn't change or put on anything else because "this shirt is matches these shorts cause they both has some brown and some stripes!" Yep. Greeeeaaaaaaaat.

Ro: Day 33

Aaron likes to tuck Connor in with his blanket while I am getting a sippy for him. He makes the cutest little burrito. (Must run in the family, don't you think Bryt ;)

K-Day 33

How many blankeys and babies do you need to fall asleep?? He fought and fought taking a nap, then finally drug ALL his blankies and his babies out to the couch, within minutes he was out!

Diane Day 33

We drove to Pleasant Grove, Utah through the East side of Utah. Beautiful drive. Spent the night in Moab. Did you know that this is their annual "Jeep Safari" week. It is comparable to Sturgis for Harley Davidson. The town is more than double normal residents. Over 10,000 visitors on Jeeps and us.

Diane Day 32

Cool storm over Monument Valley, Utah. This was a beautiful drive.

Bryt: Day 32

Whenever I go to the grocery store, Morgan just wants one thing: An all natural fruit roll up! Its healthy, so I get her one every time. The funny part of it though is if I go to the store and leave her home with JD she usually throws a fit and wants to come with me. So I tell her I will bring her a surprise if she is good. Then, the surprise is always a fruit roll up, and she is ALWAYS surprised. It's great!

It just happens to be one of those simple things that makes me so happy and smile every single time, but I figure it is one of those simple things I will likely forget.

Thus, I must blog :)

Today I recieved my Easter Basket from mom. I am so excited she gave me the one I really wanted, I LOVE IT! This is part of our 24 months of Christmas, I love the green and purple colors and the fact that it is a handcrafted basket. Thanks mom! Did I mention that I LOVE IT!? (Sorry my posts have been late)

Ro: Day 32

I have never been one to come up with elaborate April Fools jokes, but today we decided to have a little fun with Kaylee. While she was at work, Laura texted Kaylee and asked if I could try on her expensive prom dress. Then we took a picture of Connor and said something about "just remember that you love him". After that we fed her a story that Connor had gotten ahold of a blue sharpie and marked right on the front of the dress and that we were going to run to a dry cleaner to see if they could do anything. We even marked up Connor's hand with blue sharpie to authenticate our tale. She fell for it, and kept texting the same sad text "it's ruined..." After a while I felt bad that she was so disappointed. When we finally showed her the non-ruined dress she was so relieved. We had a great laugh and gave her some chocolate so she wouldn't be mad. It made for an exciting evening for us.

Sammy's version of Mr/Mrs Potato Head!
