Arbor Day

 
 
 
 
On Friday I took the boys over to Red Butte Gardens for Arbor Day, where they were having fun activities for kids. It's nice to live so close and be able walk right over. Noah was pretty excited when I told him it was "tree day", so he brought his toy axe, which he calls his "chomper", because I guess he thought we were going to chomp down trees. They did send everyone home with a free tree, which made them excited. We had a great time walking around all the gardens and seeing the gorgeous flowers, we even saw a little bunny rabbit on the trail.

Kylie's shower

 
 
 
 
Last week we had a shower for Kylie and it was so fun to get together. She had a beautiful baby boy who is doing great! We also were able to see Lindsey's adorable new baby boy. It was a blast eating scrumptious food, laughing until our stomachs ached and just enjoying each others' company. Thanks Jen for hosting it at your home!

A glimpse...

 
 
 
 

We've had some fun and also not so fun times lately. The week of Easter we had an egg hunt where we got lots of yummy candy. But then as the weekend hit, so did a yucky virus that made Jax pretty darn sick, which is part of the reason he's not in the pics dying Easter eggs and sifting through his basket; poor little guy. We also had to postpone Collin's blessing for a couple of weeks. Luckily, though, it has said its goodbye and we've been able to enjoy the beautiful weather!

Two months and all smiles

 
 
 

Collin is actually 2 1/2, almost three months now, since I'm a little behind on posts. He is so fun, especially because he recently started smiling all the time. I took him to his checkup and he weighs 16 lbs 5 oz, so the little buddy is definitely not hurting in any way!

Birthday Week

 
 
 
 

Last week was such a fun week, starting off with Ryan having spring break, beautiful weather and also my birthday. I had a doctors appointment that morning, for my postpartum checkup, and was surprised by Ryan right before I left with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a mirror I've been wanting for a while. After the doctor the Hill gals took me to lunch, along with my mom, ValJean and Shannon. It was so fun to all get together! Then I came home to find that the boys had made a cake for me while I was gone all afternoon, my day just kept getting better... we then finished the night off going out to dinner with my brothers. I couldn't have asked for a better day!

St. pAtriCk'S dAy FuN

We started some new traditions for St. Patrick's Day this year and had a lot of fun doing it! It all started when we checked out a random book about St. Patrick's Day from the library, which got Noah really excited for this holiday. He kept telling everyone that if they didn't wear green, they would get pinched by the "apricot". We had fun on Monday night making treats (idea from Studio 5) for grandmas and a leprechaun trap to see if we could catch any leprechauns the next day. We woke up to find little green footprints and "gold at the end of the rainbow" (our favorite, skittles and rolos!) in the trap. We didn't catch a leprechaun, but he was generous to leave a treat. I'm so lucky to be the mom of these cute little guys, they make life so great!

Collin is already 5 weeks old today. He's around 11 pounds and loves to eat. He is such a good baby and it's been so fun having him! I say it over and over, but time just keeps flying by. Here are a few recent pics of the little guy.
