I hate it when I neglect putting blog posts up for a while because then all of my pictures add up and I want to blog less and less because I know it will take more and more time to get it all done....SO, here they are. Unedited, untamed, and uncut.
It's been warming up here (when it's not a blizzard; aka every other day)
we went out to play
not THAT warm Curt :) he was freezing!!
Daddy's amuzement park:
Matthew bossing Grandpa around telling him how to wire the batteries in
This day was a birthday party for ME :)
My mom made an amazing fruit pizza for dessert. LOVED it.
Matthew really is just too big for his britches, flying a kite all by himself already!
This one cracks me up. He just had to get in the picture.
and so I told him to "focus, listen to me, don't mess around!" When he focuses he puts his finger on his nose....strange.
I wanted to have a picnic and test out a new park because porter park is always so crowded. (Matthew is wrestling with Grandpa in the background)
It's a fun little park and right next to the duck/nature park
our complex's little sandbox
You can see why we are all smitten with her!
This was a different kite flying day. WAY too windy. The kite would go straight up way way high and then CRASH down fast. I almost got beaned multiple times.
My monkey...
...in a cage.
Chris and Kim were borrowing our baby gate but now they are moving to IOWA (we are going to really really miss them! it will be weird not having them around the block) so they gave it back. Matthew hasn't seen it for a while and thought it would be fun to get locked in a cage. so I complied :)
she's getting interested in toys and tries to bat at them, VERY uncoordinatedly (is that a word?)
Mostly she just smiles and coos at them
my birthday roses from Curt!!! He and Chris went up to Montana to finish their parents' roof and Curt couldn't be here on my birthday. so he had Kim (thanks Kim) deliver these to me!! What a sweet hubby. And don't worry, I told him it was fine to go on my brithday, and we're going to make up for it with a family vacay to VEGAS!!!
AND Vicky and her kids came up for a surprise visit to spend a few days with me over my birthday! the timing couldn't have been better! as far as I know she and Curt didn't coordinate the scheduling, but she came up the night before my birthday and Curt left early my birthday morinng. It was so much fun to see them! Matthew and Jexten are such buddies!!
I love how jexten calls matthew "math"

we went to my mom's elementary she secretaries at for lunch one of the days.
It was hard to keep the boys from running up and down the halls. I think Adessa was missing for this picture. she snuck in to sit in on one of the 1st grade classes!! she starts kindergarten next year and is so excited!
We also went to Arctic Circle to play. This was waiting in the car for Vicky and her kids and grandpa and grandma to show up.
He's getting brave, going down slides head first!
Jexten wore his coat and hood almost the ENTIRE time they were visiting. EVERYWHERE. he got so sweaty all the time. But good luck to anyone who tried to get it off!

my beautiful parents
my beautiful sister and my funny face

Today was warm enough to play outside in a t-shirt!!! We also ate another nice picnic lunch outside. Sadly vicky and her kiddos went home today and missed out on the super warm rexburg weather! But she called to tell me that it's basically summer back in Brigham City, Utah! Lucky ducks. It's just going to be me and my kids the next couple of days. Curt won't come home until Saturday night, Vicky left today, and parents went to Boise for a secretary conference thing for my mom today too and won't be back for a couple of days.
playing with some of the neighbors. We only know a couple. all the old neighbors moved away!!! As it gets warmer and more kids come outdoors we'll have to make new friends. Making new friends is always hard.

But it's hard to get bored or lonely with my silly kids!

we had SOOO MUCH FUN with you guys!! it was a whirlwind of 3 days, the fastest days we have had EVER! i couldn't believe it when they had already passed! we should have a time button where we could press pause for a while, that would have come in handy up there. you don't have a funny face, i look like i am faking smiling. oh well, i wasn't. we just have so much fun up there with you guys that it's sad when it has to end. we also had a picnic lunch before we left. the weather was just too nice to leave it! we had to peal ourselves away. but our "house" missed us, and badly. i wish i had taken more pictures, but it all happened so fast that by the time i thought about the camera, the time was gone. phooey. there will be a next time! LOVE YOU! hope you had a happy birthday!
