Snowy Cabin

We decided to try and ride our 4-wheelers up to the DeMille cabin one Sunday afternoon. There was still some snow at the top and it was still quite chilly, but it was fun! The kids thought it was neat to ride through themud and snow, and there was a few places where I got my 4-wheeler stuck. I decided that driving in the snow and mud is definately not my thing, I rather just be on the back and along for the ride! We all had fun and hope to do it again!

Backyard Fun!

One saturday Blake pulled the kids 4-wheeler out in the backyard and they rode it around in circles for hours. They took turns driving and Brock took the twins for rides. We had some of the neighbor friends over and they all pulled out the toy tools and fixed up the four wheeler. Then they would drive it around for a couple laps, then bring it in for a pit stop and work on it for awhile fixing up every last part and piece. It was so cute and they all had so much fun!

Easter!!

For Easter we went camping with the DeMilles down by Mesquite. We camped down near the Virgin River where it was a bit warmer than Cedar. Grandma and Grandpa did an Easter egg hunt for all the kids down in the wash near the Virgin River. The kids got lots of fun toys and of course candy! The weather was quite nice and we did some hiking and four-wheeling! Brock is getting really good at driving his four wheeler around and being able to maneuver it and control it! He takes all the younger kids for rides and they love that! Corbin is even getting better at driving the four-wheeler. He still needs to not accelerate so fast and remember where the brake is! He is so crazy but we love him! The kids got some bubble guns in the Easter egg hunt and Daxton absolutely loved the bubbles! He let Corbin shoot bubbles at his face for like 20 min. and then he wanted to shoot them himself, and his main target was Grandpa! The kids played all day long in the dirt with their buckets, shovels, and trucks - that they also got for Easter from Grandma. They were all so dirty, but had so much fun! Then the kids woke up Easter morning in the trailer to find that the Easter Bunny had filled their Easter baskets! They were very spoiled (like always) and were so excited to see that the Easter Bunny found us! Later that day we colored Easter eggs and the kids got very creative with their designs. The twins mostly enjoyed the stickers and putting them all over themselves! It was a very relaxing and fun weekend hanging out, visiting, and listening to conference! HAPPY EASTER!!

St. Patricks Day!

This year for St. Patty's we decided to do something fun! Normally we just wear green and it is like any other day. So I painted shamrocks on the kids faces. All of them except Daxton, he screamed when I tried! The rest of them love to have their faces painted so we did and it was fun! Then we also had a green meals. My friend Ginger does this with her kids and I have always thought it was such a cute idea. So I stole the idea, thanks Ginger! For breakfast we had green pancakes, and I even made some shamrock shaped ones at Brock's request. And for dinner we had all sorts of green food! My kids loved it! They cleaned their plates! The next day Corbin told me he loves St. Patricks Day dinner, it is his favorite and he always eats it all gone! Maybe I need to color more of his food so he will eat it!

 

New beds!

Daxton and MaKelle had been sleeping in the same crib since they were born and were starting to get really cramped and squished. We felt it was time to get them some big kid beds. So we decided the best thing to do was to give them Breock and Corbin's bed since it has a trundle. And we got Brock and Corbin a bunk bed cuz they have been wanting one for awhile. We got them a loft type that has a desk, and a cabinet, and shelves. Brock and Corbin have loved their new bed! They have to take turns sleeping on the top since they both really wanted to be up there. Daxton and MaKelle love their beds too, however since they are not confined anymore they have a tendancy to get into everything and play! I have to use rubberbands to keep all the drawers and closet doors shut! Even so, they will just play with each other until they get tired enough to fall asleep. I have found them asleep on the floor or on each others bed, I even found Daxton asleep in the closet once (that was before I started putting on the rubberbands). They think they are so big!
