CMT

CMT (Children's Music Theater) was great this year! All the kids had so much fun. The show was a "Broadway Extravaganza" so instead of preforming a play the kids sang and danced to a bunch of Broadway shows. It took so much work to put together, and we'd love to thank Sharee Gariety and the Shepherds for being amazing directors. It was great!





The stage looked amazing-especially the backdrop!

Kaitlyn: Mom, I'm having a crisis!

Mom: What?

Kaitlyn: I cant figure out if I should wear my long coral dress with my jean jacket, or my shorter coral dress with my jean jacket.

Mom: You haven't worn your long one in a while.

Kaitlyn: Ya, but I haven't worn my short one in a long time either-so you see my dilemma!

(Oh boy)

  

While doing our Spring Break Chore Party we were weeding our front yard, something that definetly needed to be done. When the kids finished up at our house they started doing the neighbors. One of our neighbors has a lot of weeds. While attempting to pick them all, Brynn said, "What if they want their weeds?"

Nate: I want machos! (Nachos)

Ellie (After going to the hospital for what we thought was appendicitis she came home and everybody was asking about her): I'm poplear! (Popular)

Ellie: What! I'm going to the hospital. Now I can tell my friends I went to the hospital!

 

Kaitlyn: I just want to inform you that we risk our lives when we play the piano.

(It's true. Our piano bench is definitely not the safest.)

Nate: Uno, Tres, Dos!

(Kaitlyn and Mom said the same thing at the same time) 
Nate: (To mom) You should have jinxed her!

 

Jared: Nate! You can't cry in football. If you cry you'll get fired!
(After a very hard day, Nate was continually crying. Obviously, Jared was tired of all of it.)

Nate: Ellie, if you don't stop I'll call you Joe!
(okay?)

Ellie: Mom, when people give Dad the tithing will he buy a bull?
Mom: A bowl?
Ellie: Ya, a bull. That can like carry blocks to build the temple.
(We had to explain to her where the tithing goes, and that now we use tractors.)


Easter

Dying Eggs:

During Spring Break we got to dye Easter eggs, one of our favorite Easter traditions. The kids got so creative, and loved that we had so many colors that we could dye our eggs with.

 

 

If you see in the left, top corner the sign says: CAUTION: These eggs are NOT hard-boiled.

We had four eggs that weren't hard-boiled and they were the only pure white ones, but you can't be too safe... 

 

 

Easter:

 

These girls were a bit mad that they couldn't get the candy out of the eggs. All they cared about was the candy. They would go up to everyone and beg for it. They sure are cute though.  We had such a good Easter, and what a good time to remember what our Savior did for us.

Posing for a picture in our backyard.

 

Helping herself to the candy. One suggestion Kylie, take the wrapper off before you stick it in your mouth. It may help.

 She was REALLY big towards the end. Unfortunately we did not get as many pictures as we should have. She definitely grew more from the last picture to the time that she had these twins (38 weeks)

Partners In Crime

Already 14 months old!

These two may look innocent, but think again! They are double trouble! They are always getting into everything, and making us laugh. Here are some of their favorite things they do (keep in mind there is much more they are capable of!)

 

 

1.They love sneaking into anyone's drawer to see what they have stashed in there! They have learned to open all the cabinets and drawers and get into a lot of trouble with them. Bree got into some rubbing alcohol this week and we thought she drank it because it was all over her clothes! (I don't think she did)

 

2. The toilet is one of their absolute favorite. We'll find all sorts of things in there if we don't shut the door. Sometimes our house will become quiet-and then all the sudden all you hear is splashing. They also love pulling out all the toilet paper-and then we still have to use it. So, I apologize if you come to our house and you're going to the bathroom and there's a big clump of toilet paper on the counter, and nothing else.

  

 
3. Another thing they love doing is getting into their clothes. The number one sign they're getting into trouble is the door is closed and its quiet. Notice Kylie with the clothes on her head-they do that all the time! They are always stealing our things and hiding them off somewhere (many times that somewhere is the trash so we always have to check it before we take it out).  We are still looking for our checkbook which could very well be in the dump by now.

4. They love tearing things apart and throwing it everywhere to make a big mess. They get into so much trouble! We call them the "Tornadoes" because everywhere they go they leave destruction in their path.

 5.Ahhh...the food. They will go to the pantry and take what ever they see and can reach. We've had an accident with vinegar already-and learned to make sure the lid is secure. They love getting cereal and shaking it all out. They also enjoy eating raw potatoes out of the pantry, because they can reach them.



 

6. They love getting into everyone's room and destroying their things. They will be very quiet, steal the best things, ruin everything else, and run away for the victim to discover later. We just found Kaitlyn's glasses in the laundry basket.

7. They love going outside and doing all they can to get there. They always will try to escape outside whenever anyone comes to our house. They love climbing things and will climb anything (seriously-anything. Kylie tried to climb the lawnmower and Bree tried to climb up a bush).

 

8. They will stick anything in their mouths, no matter what it is! Kylie enjoys eating parsley all the time. You always know when there is something in their mouth because they get this little grin. They are definitely very busy girls.

Quotes

 Sorry there is not so many-I haven't been collecting them and don't remember some of them.


Kaitlyn: Mom! Can I have ice cream and hot chocolate.

Mom: No, I already told you that.

Kaitlyn: Ahh....But the hot and cold are both so intense, put them together it just makes sense!

(Quoting Frozen)
 

 

Nathan: Those are Hens and roosters!

(Chicks and Hens---The plant)

Nathan had three roli-poli's but later he only came in with one

Mom: What happened to the other two?

Nathan: Well, I stepped on one, and Kylie took the other one.

Mom: Oh, what did she do with it?  She didn't eat it, did she?

Nathan: No....well I don't think she ate it.


Kaitlyn had left some of her stuff out and (of course) the twins got into it. She realized they had gotten into her Candy Cane chap stick and was upset. Mom, thinking she was upset because she liked the way it felt said, "Well I have some that feels just like that." Kaitlyn replied, "Mom, I don't like how it feels, I like how it looks.


Ellie: Jared and Brynn are claraling!
Kaitlyn: Excuse me?
Ellie: Jared and Brynn are claraling with each other!
(I think she meant quarreling.)


When we were on our trip (Ya--along time ago) Brynn threw a cracker out the window (with no apparent reason).
Nathan: Wow! Now it will fly all the way down to EARTH!!

Kaitlyn was walking by with a banana and Kylie saw her, she quickly squealed, "UH OH! Nana, nana!"
(Don't know what the "uh oh" was about, but it was cute.)


Nate: But mom, the sun isn't down yet, so we can read two books before bed.


After listening to a discussion about what to do about Aubree, who had possibly drunken the rubbing alcohol.  Nathan replied with a very serious face, "Alcohol, we don't drink alcohol!" Trying not to laugh, we had to tell him that it's not that kind of alcohol-but we still do not drink it.

Abby and Kameron

Abby and Kameron came to visit us for Presidents day! We had so much fun! We went to Tent Rocks for the day, and had a great time. We also went shopping and just hung out. We loved having them here. At first the twins had a hard time, but then they couldn't stop cuddling Kameron.  (Bree loves being around boys.)

 

Not sure what they're doing here.

 

 

 

Thanks for visiting us!!
