EASTER in the sun

{St. George}

{Miss Olivia}

Olivia loves makeup. I do not love makeup on my six year old. So I made a deal with her that she is not allowed to wear makeup unless I say and I put it on. There is a place and time for that sort of thing. So Wednesday we were taking her to her Aunt Kimmies Bday dinner and I thought this would be a good time. So when I asked if she wanted makeup? You should have seen her eyes light up!

She did all the looks in the mirror, the fake giggles, and the eye rolls, she thought she was so hot.

Drew became a little jealous.

So he got some of Dad's cologne and a good pretend shaving.

Dinner with the Birthday girl. She loves her Auntie Kimmie.
So after I did Olivia's make-up she came up to me and tried to give me a tip. I told her I didn't want her money and to save it for something special later.
When I went to bed that night there laid four dollars on my night stand. She's such a sweetheart. I am glad the littlest things make her so happy!

i love easter with an 18 month old

Easter is up there for me on the list. Love SG weather. Love our family traditions. Love Nana's food. And I love when I get to teach my baby "put the egg in your basket"! Well it's not Easter yet but since we have pretty much the best neighborhood ever, we are always looking for reasons to get all the kids together. So we did our annual Easter Egg Hunt. It was so windy the day of the hunt, this is why we don't love Easter here, so we moved it to the church. It turned out great and I just loved watching Alex figuring it all out.

The Three Little Piggies

We love to torture these kids.

What?

Andrew B.

Now it's Drew's turn. Drew the skinny one. He asks a million questions a day. He says the funniest things. He has a great personality. He is kind. He is the sensitive one. He is the easiest to discipline. He loves golf and baseball. He can't wait to start Baseball next week. He has amazing handwriting for a 3 year old. He loves to draw and color. He had his first talk in Primary last Sunday and did awesome! He is such a wonderful part of our family.

He's a pain! (in my back)

I keep telling myself things will get better. But they don't. This kid bugs! If only ALL my kids could be little Drew's. It's like a trick. Here's a perfect little boy Drew, so that I will have another, then Psyche! Tyler thinks Alex is the most awesomest kid ever. Really? I see little pieces of awesomeness but wouldn't say he's the most awesome. He's going to be the pain in the (back) kid that will be living at our house when he's 30. Can't wait. One of the many buggy things he does or doesn't do I should say is EAT. How do you not like to eat? You are not my child if you don't like to eat, it's my favorite thing to do. Anyways I took him off the bottle last week so now he doesn't drink either. Sweet. So he's pretty much going to be 25 lbs the rest of his life. Then I know I've told you how destructive he is. I swear he can just look at something and it will break or he could just place one finger on something and it will disperse into a huge mess. It's pretty incredible really. Maybe he has special powers? So there's a little piece of Alex at 18 months old. Our hardest child yet. There is one food he does like, black beans. So here he is with his beans making a mess, what he does best.



P.S. One positive about the little guy, it comes with his personality. He's tough. He will full on fall on his face, on the cement, scrape his chin, bleed from the mouth because he's torn that little skin thing that connects your lip to your upper gums, and not a single cry will come out. He's too busy thinking about what to destroy next.
