Easter week!

The Saturday before Easter our ward had a fun egg hunt for the kids at the church and it was just a beautiful day outside!

Our kids have been loving riding thier bikes all around the neighborhood.

For family night tonight, we talked about how we came to earth to gain a body, and Isaac jumped up right away and pulled down his pants and underwear and stuck out his bum right in front of Scotty, and said, "Here's my

body Daddy, here's my body!" We could not stop laughing after that.

Adam is getting so big now! I can't believe how he keeps up with Cali and Isaac already. He is such a sweetie too, and will get sad when his siblings are sad, and will just start laughing when they do, even though he doesn't even know what's so funny.

Easter egg hunting....

I think I had too much fun shopping at Walmart for Easter coming up. Everything looked so fun and colorful. With the plastic eggs I bought at the store, the kids practiced finding Easter eggs around the house for fun and then got to do the real thing at our local park. There was face painting, crafts, an egg hunt, farm animals to pet, the Easter bunny was there, and the kids got to hug Tigger. They were excited about that one. Then Conference was a lot more enjoyable this year because I was able to listen better. The kids were much better at being quiet, I was so proud.

Cali asked me if there was conference tomorrow too, and when I replied no, she shouted for joy. She said it was boring. Oh well, I know she will eventually enjoy it.

Isaac is officially potty trained! I am so excited to be done changing his diapers. He is so big now and I can't believe how much he has grown and how much he is talking! It's amazing.

My sweet five year old!

Cali's fifth birthday was last Tuesday and Cali had tons of fun! She helped make cupcakes, went out to Cold Stone for some ice cream, and went to the Mall with her girlfriends. Of course, it had to be girls only. Anyway, she had a blast!









Cali loves to play with her friends and would want them over all day, everyday if she could. We definitely need to put some boundaries on that issue already. We just can't believe she is five and has grown up so fast. She will start Kindergarten in the Fall and loves to tell me what she learns everyday. She loves to help out when I need her help and her favorite thing to do is crafts. She really likes to keep Isaac under control and lets me know when he is getting into the chocolates.

Toledo Zoo

Loving the weather!

It's been absolutely wonderful here in Michigan the last few weeks. The kids were able to play at the park everyday and even have some water play the last couple days. I can't believe the weather right now in March!

Grammy Salmon comes to visit!

We loved having Grammy Salmon come to visit a couple of weeks ago. The kids just loved getting to spend time with their Grammy and was sad to see her leave. Making sugar cookies with her was their favorite part!

Artisan wheat bread....

Scotty had fun experimenting with making artisan wheat bread and it tasted ok we thought. At dinner tonight we put some on Cali's plate and as she ate it, she said, "Dad, this bread tastes kind of rusty".

Asparagus

At the dinner table we were eating asparagus and Isaac was going to town on it. There were none left on the table and so he went for my plate. After grabbing my asparagus, he then said to me, " no more mommy, you're tummy will get sick!" I guess he was loving that asparagus!

Splitz Gym was too much fun!

Isacc jumping at full speed!
Adam loved playing at the splitz gym for the first time this year.

Adam is 13months and his new things are: playing hide and seek, wanting to spoon feed himself, putting everything into the garbage, walking all the time, taking one nap a day, and his top teeth coming in.

Isaac is three years old and his new things are: saying "yes" very clearly, going to preschool and riding on the bus happily, drawing circles, and wearing underwear!

Cali will be five in a month and she has been starting to read on her own. She loves playing with her friends all the time and now thinks that girls can only be best friends with other girls. She says that Adam is her favorite and Isaac is definately not, but I am sure that will change.
