Found these old gems on Rob's phone

 Makayla navigating the park
 and playing hi-ho-the cherrrio
 Christopher at the piano (no, he can't play that song....I think the only song in that book he can play is book of Mormon stories.)
 Crazy hair Makayla!

 Babies enjoying their bottles on mom & dad's bed.
 Sunday best (where are your pants Joseph?!)

 The flash surprise
 Daddy was giving long board rides while we walked in near by neighborhoods.


 The kids love playing on this couch.
 Michael didn't want to let her have her own turn.  (notice how "my blue baby" is always with her)
 Michael likes his turn.
New shirt design.....or just our gecko that doesn't have a name.  Rob thought I would flip out, but I didn't give him that satisfaction.

March 20-21

 I got these blocks out for the babies cuz Matthew loves trying to stick legos together.  They played nicely for 15 minutes, so that was good.
 They weren't building, just mouthing and banging them together,  And I LOVE these coordinating shirts.
 Michael wanted me to take a picture of him at the library.
 aww...babies trying to grab the mouse from the computer.
 Wha???  Matthew climbed up here by himself.  I know the window is next.
 Fun baby toys.
 Matthew is so grown up sitting in a chair.
 Matthew was having fun with this ball (big surprise) and Joseph loved the mustache binkie.  (it since broke into 4 pieces, so we don't recommend them.




 The lighting made our purple stroller look blue.
 This is what it takes to pack a picnic for 7 people.


 Right before Makayla fell. I took this picture of her.


Then I took this picture of me.
And then she fell.  There was alot of blood on the carpet.  Luckily Rob was able to get it out.  

Cousins in town

 Makayla showed cousin Cielo how fun it was to ride down on the long board.
 They are only 5 weeks apart and had lots of fun together.
 Cielo is wondering if its safe for Makayla to be up there.
 Matthew, we don't stand in flower pots.
 It was soo nice.  We were outside basically from 10-4.  Picnic lunch!
 Trampoline fun!
 Uncle Isaac read them a book.
 5 kids 2 & under.  It was a party.
 Twins talking to each other in their crib.  So cute!
 Nathanael fell asleep in the short car ride to Pizza Pie Cafe & stayed asleep sitting up in the high chair for a little while.  It was soo funny to me.
 We went to the BYU vs. UofU Ultimate frisbee game with Gabrielle's family and my sister Cambrai (she was at Pizza Pie Cafe too).  It was a really fun sport to watch.  The winning score was contested and almost knocked away, but the BYU guy caught it!
 Gabrielle & Nathanael are excited.  Makayla was really cuddly because she had fallen at home right before we came.  She was standing on the back of the couch playing with toys at the window & fell off.  she landed on her chin, scraping it (it looks like a bad scar still and has alot of scar tissue), and biting the inside of her mouth so hard it was swollen for 72 hrs.  She didn't eat hardly anything that whole time it was swollen.
 Cambrai feeding Matthew.
Daddy holding Joseph.
 Michael and Nathanael LOVED wrestling together.
I made a cake for our family dinner.  (do you like our counters?  we did them ourselves!)  I made this yummy oreo cake (requested a week later for Christopher's bday too), and Cambrai made honey lime enchiladas that were to die for.  We LOVED having the cousins play and sisters visits (the husbands enjoyed it too).

March 12-16

Playing catch with Daddy
Went down the slide together


again.  Thought it was sooo funny.

Makayla is so serious. She's good at not wandering off, but I had a hard time keeping a good eye on her.
Matthew climbing the slide.
Joseph LOVES swinging.
Matthew does not.
He's happy just to sit though.
Makayla peeking through
Matthew peeking through. (are those my sister Gabrielle's eyes I see?) This was a good teethy grin.  3 teeth.
Joseph "helping" emptying the dishwasher.
Matthew LOVES climbing on the chairs.  He's only fallen once.

Joseph climbing?

The boys brought home these rubber ducks on a necklace.  I wish they were just a tad bigger to not fit in his mouth.  Too bad the shot wasn't wider.  Matthew has a cute sad face.
The boys had a rock collection from their digging.  Matthew likes climbing on the bench.

and in the truck apparently


When this.....
Leads to this.  Sorry Joseph.


playing "together"

mmmmmm....dinner was yummy and pretty.  I LOVE broiled asparagus.  I can't remember which chicken recipe I used here, but it was pretty.
When we only had to get a couple things at the store..
Awww...all the kids.  Especially cute of Makayla and Joseph. PS, my bday was great!  Rob bought me tickets to BYU's women's conference and will watch the kids while I"m there.  Its next week & I'm getting really excited!  Both Rob's parents and my parents sent me money, and I'm still spending it. :)
