Blondie

I am loving my short hair!  It has never ever been this short in my entire life.  Jessie added more blond and gave me some layers.

Birthday Celebration

 Happy 30th Birthday to Chad!  He received a traditional money tree from my mom.  She has given most of us kids money trees on our 30th.  The kids were very anxious to open Chad's birthday gifts for him, rather than give them to him!

 Chad is tricky to buy prizes for.  So he gave me a wish list and I took all three kids to Sportsman's for some shopping.  It's a good thing our friend and neighbor works there.  He was awesome, helped me keep track of the girls and find the items Chad wanted.

Brynlyn and I planned a yummy dinner and invited Grampy and Grammy over to help us celebrate.  Brynlyn was the waitress and handed out the menus.  We made some of Chad's fav foods.  Chicken Alfredo and broccoli pasta, artichoke's, garlic bread, salad and more.

Brynlyn and Peyton colored and made birthday hat's from my scrapbook paper stash.

We ended the night with Mud Slide Pie, requested by Chad.  The kids each took turns blowing out the candles after Chad re-lit them.  It was a fun night at home.

Miyah

10 Months

Rolling, turning and scooting all over the place.  She is trying her hardest to get into everything.   I'm grateful she isn't crawling or pulling up on anything just yet.  Both her older sisters were crawling or walking by now.  I'm not anxious for her to grow up as fast.  But she really, really wants to.  I am the luckiest mom.  This sweet girl is so happy!

Easter Prizes

 Two cute bunnies checking out the loot left by the Easter Bunny!

 The girl's love their Dizzy Dancers that the Easter bunny brought.  They spin super fast and entertain for a long time.

 Grampy and Grammy spoiled the kids with a new movie, clothes and so many yummy treats!  Then we had an egg hunt that kept the kids busy for almost an hour.  So fun.

Grandpa and Grandma sent us a Easter bin... so many awesome surprises inside.  The girls had a blast sorting through it.  Peyton took most of the contents out and made a huge pile for herself, funny kid.  Easter was awesome... still to much candy lingering around my house.

Easter Dresses

I was determined to make my girl's Easter dresses this year!  Not sure why I decided this.  But, thought it would be fun to have something handmade at least once a year.  I saved a lot of money when I came across this awesome fabric.  Spending only $30.00.  I saw a similar dress for $60 in Brynlyn's size at Gap(I think), and quickly talked myself out of it.

It was trickier than I thought to squeeze time in for sewing.  So I ended up taking the cut pieces for the older girl's dresses to Utah during Spring Break.  My parents were awesome and played with the girls a bunch so I could sew more than usual.  I love the color combos and how the different patterns turned out.

Spring Break in Utah

 Farah and I took the munchkins to the Aquatic center a couple times.  Everyone had so much fun.  Brynlyn even went down the water slide twice.  The second time she was a little freaked out and said "I'm done"!  Peyton sat with Grandma wrapped in a towel scared to death of the water!  Not sure why she hates the water so much.  She loves the bathtub.  All our pictures are fuzzy because a setting on my lens was bumped.  So sad, we could have had some great pics.

 Miyah loved being at her grandparents.  New toys and extra people to entertain her!

The last few days of Spring break I got a yucky flu.  So, the older girls packed a bag to take to Grandma's office.  I was able to sleep more than usual.  Being a mom to three does not leave time for sickness.  I hope Brynlyn remembers all the fun things we did for her first Spring Break.

Eggs

Easter came super fast this year.  I was not fully prepared, and just about forgot the fun tradition of coloring Easter Eggs before the big day!  Thank goodness Grandma was on top of things and had plenty of eggs when we were in Utah.  Then we were able to do eggs with Chad once we got home.  The older girls really enjoyed the process and made plenty of messes.  I think Chad even had some fun with it and drew some pretty cool designs and took charge of the color checks!  We had so much fun.

March

 The month of March flew by to fast.  We celebrated my birthday with family.  I was very spoiled and surprised with many great prizes.  I am very blessed to have so many people that care about me.

 Fruit delivery from my sweet cousin.

 Lot's of time spent on homework and sight words.

Spent as much time outside as possible.  Loved the short spring weather we had!

St. Patricks

These two are so cute together!  I love when my kids get to play with their cousin's.

 They have the best grandma in the world.

 Brynlyn adores her Aunt's...  Farah put together some fun craft projects for the kids, and they had so much fun.

 I forgot to pack green for my family... So Uncle Jared and Aunt Heather picked up clothes for us.

Love Utah vacations at my parents.  Good food, great people and so much fun!
