What have we been up to lately???

We have been having fun and gearing up for summer!  The kids were invited to their first official birthday party this past week for a friend of theirs from school - Cael and have Luke and Spencer's just around the corner.  It is a birthday filled season!  Of course, the kids keep thinking that it is their birthdays too!  Ever since the move, Tyler hasn't wanted to sleep in his own room and has slept in mom and dad's room in a port-a-crib.  Well, we went and got him a BIG bed hoping that it would help!  So far so good!  Keep your fingers crossed for us!  Here are some fun pics! 

Cael's birthday party at the Summit Pool! 

There isn't a bouncy house they don't love!!!

They love any and all parks!!! 

Tyler's big bed!!! 

Learning is fun!!!

Kids have been doing so well in pre-school.  Learning letters, coloring, making new friends and painting!  It is a small private pre-school with only 8 students and 2 teachers, so they get a lot of one on one time with the teacher.  I read an article that the need to invest in their early years is so critical, so I know it is worth it!   I do like that it is only 2 days a week.  I would miss them too much if it was more often.  Here are some pictures of them painting...

St. Patrick's Day!!!

Aren't they the cutest Leprechauns around!!!

3 year checkups!

It was time for the kids' 3 year check ups and they were happy that they didn't have to get shots!  Their stats came in as follows:

Tyler:
37 pounds - 90th percentile
39 inches long - 85th percentile

Bella:
32 pounds - 85th percentile
39inches long - 90th percentile

Our girl is catching up to her brother in both height and weight!  Tyler also went in for his annual cranial check up and we have to go for his scan, but the surgeon thought he looked really good and if everything is ok with the scan, we don't have to go back for 2 years!  YEAH!!!

3 year old check ups and both are the same height!



I am trying to decide if it is too early to enroll them in soccer - they don't seem interested when we got to the basin recreation and play just the 3 of us, but they love playing in the nets!



Happy Valentines Day...

Our hearts are full of love for these two beautiful children of ours and full of love for our great big large extended family that includes so many - the Warner's, the Sitton's, the Day's and the Weston's!  May you all feel our love this year!  Below are our kids making their first Valentines and Valentine bags.  We also made chocolate chip cookies to share to our loved ones this day! 

Pre-school

Kids are enjoying their pre-school.  Tyler doesn't want mom to leave when I drop them off, but doesn't want me to pick him up when I come either.  He just takes a minute to warm up to it.  Bella is quiet but loves it.  It is so fun to see them learning!

Happy 3rd birthday to our Bella!

Happy New Year!

Well, we didn't stay up to watch a ball drop or anything, but we did have some big news with 2014.  The kids went to Sunbeams!  Bella got to go with her big brother and they seem to be liking it.  Although, Tyler says that he has to sit a lot now.  They also started going to pre-school just 2 days a week and really love it. 

First day of Primary!  Such big, beautiful and healthy kids! 



First day of Pre School!  Our kids are growing up way too fast!

Merry Christmas!

We came back from Idaho on the 24th.  I was sad to leave my family for my first Christmas but excited to have our own Christmas for the first time.  Bella threw up about an hour away from home, which wasn't a good sign.  We spent Christmas Eve with the Weston side in Salt Lake and had a wonderful time!  Of course, Christmas morning started out with a bang!  Bella still had the stomach flu and Tyler fell and had his lower teeth go through his lower lip - so we spent the morning at the doctor's office.  Although the great Christmas breakfast that I had planned was out the door, it still ended up being a nice day.   Of course, with the craziness, we didn't get all the pictures that we wanted.  Hope some of these will do!

Tyler wasn't interested this year in meeting Santa! 

Bella had no troubles this year! 

Poor little guy! 



He was so brave and had the cutest PJs there!  

Not feeling well took its toll! 

Wiped little ones! 

Happy Holidays!

Our Holidays started out great!  We went to Idaho to visit the Day side of the family and spent some fun times up at Papa's cabin with family!  Here are some pictures!


Stopping at Playlands along the way!  Kids didn't want to get back in the car!

 

Brushing up on their air hockey skills! 



Tyler watching his favorite - Toy Story!

Climbing the Cabin beams!

Never to be outdone by her brother! 

Playing in a box - why did Mom bother to buy all those presents???

The Day tradition of building Gingerbread houses!  Bella was so meticulous!

Uncle Craing helped Tyler which means Tyler ate most of the Candy! 

Momma helped Bella!

Relaxing with Uncle Craig and Alex!



Loving being with family!

Alex made the kids some snakes! 

Tyler really did like his but was afraid Uncle Craig would take it!

Bella loved it!  One more thing for her to accumulate! 

My little Santa!
