April 2013

At Ryans gymnastics show. He did so great and I was so proud of him cuz he had everyone looking at him. Cameron got a little board and decided it was time to make funny faces.

              Blaine was thrilled that both kids wanted him to hold them. Gracie is such a cool baby


Field Fest is a crazy crazy feat to take on. These are the pot luck jars for all the students of the school.
 

Gracie thinks that she wants to go to school just like her brother. Nana got Gracie a great Easter dress. I love the little girls in poufy dresses.

 Best news ever WE MOVED into our own place. It is in 34th ward and we will move to that ward eventually but we will see. We are so excited just to be in our own place. Cameron Zander and Gracie had so much fun helping me move little things over at a time and running around the house like crazy people.

Papa Bird from Colorado came to help us move and we couldn't do it without him.

Gracie loves her Papa Bird and had a lot of fun playing with him. I love the look on her face that she is giving Papa like really.

Daddy turned 35 and we had Gma Bird over for dinner. Our house was still not really put together since we have only been in for a few days.

Happy Birthday to the BEST daddy and husband ever. He works so hard for us and we are so glad that he is ours.

Gracie loved her daddy's chocolate cake. She defiantly has gotten her daddy's sweet tooth.

Now for the not so fun news. Daddy ended up spending a week in the hospital. He was really not thrilled about that at all. I didn't trust him to go see Dr. Thomas and tell him what was really going on. His leg was really red and hot and was traveling up his leg. We got to Dr. Thomas he gave him a shot in the butt and then said do you want us to call an ambulance or will you promise to go directly to the hospital. He called a head and told them we where coming. I have never seen him so depressed and so defeated. It took every ounce of strength I had to try and keep him positive and also juggle who has my kids so that I could be at the hospital.

 

I love this picture of Gracie. She is sitting on my old doll bed that was built for me. I loved this when I was little.

It is so fun to watch my kids especially my daughter play with the toys I loved when I was little.

Gracie found comfort with her papa when everything with daddy was crazy. So it was nice that she had some normalcy while all of that was happening.

                        This little girl is the best eater that I have ever had. She loves everything.

 

I love these little toes so much. This little girl loves to have her nails painted. This I can blame this on her cousins. While Blaine was in the hospital she spend a few days at her Aunt Ellen's house with the girls and they taught her all things girly.

Ryan is doing really good with Vision Therapy. His teachers have noticed a difference so that is nice. Some of the stuff they have you do is kind of silly but its helping so we deal with it. I love how my babies still fall asleep.

 Field Fest was absoulty crazy but my kids had fun and I guess that is all that matters. Ryan did the rock wall and got all the way up I was so proud of him.

Cameron made it a little farther up than this picture shows and he was super nervous so I was proud that he didn't chicken out.

                  Ryan did so good at his gymnastics show. He was so excited that he got a trophy.
