Catch up, maybe

Alright, this is going to be a lot of pictures and possibly some information.  So this is a little of what we have been up to since December, and during December really.

 We cleaned the floor.  Okay we did this more than once, but we took pictures this time.  The kids really like when I scrub the floor with the scrub brush because they put rags on their feet to mop up the dirty water.

 The zoo does a light festival in December, it is a little chilly at night.

 There was barely enough snow to sled around Christmas.

 Grant at the zoo at night, and taking a binky which he no longer does.

 Bradley has some of the best faces.

 Our little thumb sucker.  Grant loves his thumb and his monkey blanket.  And chewing on his monkey blanket.

 Caitlyn lost her first tooth, and a couple of weeks later lost her second tooth.

 Grant practiced sitting up.  He is doing pretty well, until he leans.

 Most of the snow is gone and the children were playing so well in the back yard and this was why.  I think Bradley had a snack.

 Britton didn't eat any but they both were covered with mud.

 We went to an Air Force basketball game with the scouts.

 I had a birthday, made delicious cupcakes, and shared them with friends from the ward and some of Brandon's coworkers.  And that is why I make cupcakes, if I can share them then I don't eat as many.  Brandon told me that I am now old, I guess 30 is old.  He does think it is funny when I point out the gray hairs I can find, but I figure I am lucky that there isn't more.  I don't know about the rest of my family, especially on the Luke side, but I'm feeling lucky that I'm not pretty gray by now.

 We had enough snow to sled in the yard once.

 So cute, even when dribbling spit up like a vampire.

 We had special cupcakes for St. Patrick's day.

 We had some happy times.

 The Easter Bunny came.

 We flew kites.

 The elephants at the zoo got to spend some time outside.

 Silly kids on Easter Sunday.

 New skirts and ties for Easter.  Brandon picked the material for the ties and then I ordered the fabric from Rufflefabric.com.

 Lunch for April Fool's, the kids were excited when I told them they were having cupcakes for lunch.  Until they figured out that the cupcakes were meatloaf with mashed potatoes on top. The cupcakes on the right are real cupcakes. They're supposed to look like spaghetti and meatballs. They're really icing, a Ferrero Rocher chocolate and raspberry jam.

 William had a picture chosen to represent his school in the district art show.

We were pretty excited to see it in the library.

Other things that have happened, Grant has been rolling all over.  He likes to roll to the basket we keep hair brushes in or the lego bucket and empty them.  William and Caitlyn had a two week spring break, two weeks is a lot of time.  We have a couple of nice days, really nice with temps up to the 70s, and then it snows again.  On the nice days we walk to the park, on the cold days Britton and Bradley claim that it is nice enough to go outside.  That was a lot thrown out all at once.  I will honestly try not to do that again.  But I'm not making any promises.
