Family Pictures

I am so glad that we got at least a few good pics, Every time we would ask Liv to look at the camera she would say cheese, but look away. Little Stinker, at least she is a cute one!!!

Temple Day and Easter Bunny visit-March 30th

 Bob and Sara came into town from Sacramento for Easter and His Birthday, so my mom planned a temple day with all of us that we were able to all do sealings together as a family.  It was an amazing experience to be there all together.  Dad was able to be a witness which was neat and Anna just about passed out from being on her knees...The officiator was this cute Tongan man and finished the blessing then said, you better grab your wife because she looked so pale...Coby got up to get Tiffany who was being a daughter but realized it wasn't Tiffany who needed to saving.  We got her some water and fanned her with our dresses and all is well. 

 After the temple we all got our own lunch's and came back to Honey and Poppies for a picnic lunch outside.

  The weather was great and to our great surprise just as we were all finishing our lunch's, who appeared?

 The Easter Bunny!!!

 Liv was so excited...She loved that Bunny and never left his side the whole time he was there.  She loved him!!!

 It was so funny, I put Tyson's hat on his head and he grabbed it and tried to pull it off and the hat didn't come up, he ended up pulling so hard that he pulled himself right over. 

Family Poker Night

Thanks to Ben for organizing our family poker night, it was really fun. We all brought our own dinner and lots of candy to share!  I think everyone won at least once...we didn't think Pat was going to have any luck and then finally at the end, he pulled out a win, yay! Mom and Dad even folded a few hands so that Pat would have a chance, no one else was that kind.

Had to bring the babes in arms, but at least they were in pretty good spirits!

It's a good thing Tiffany doesn't really gamble because she would have lost all of her and Coby's money.  She loved to play the bluffing game.

 I'm Sinking...

 My mom was the hands and dad was the brains.
I think my mom had the best poker face tho...as soon as we started and she got their cards, she did this little dance with her fingers pointing up in the air and of coarse, singing a "we're going to win" tune.  We all had a pretty good laugh over this one.  Wouldn't recognize my mom if she didn't do something like this! Love her!

February 21st: Fort day

 Today we put blankets all around our table in the kitchen to make a fort.  We even brought our lamp for the living room in.  We ate snacks in their, and it only took liv about 5 times of hitting her head to remember to duck...poor head.

February 14-17: Trip to St. George

 Swinging outside in the warm sunshine.  It is so nice to be out of inversion, cold sandy.

 Daddy and Tyson playing.

 Mommy just finished making the kids 7 new file folder games for church and indoor days and I am ready to relax and enjoy the views.  My mom was sending out Valentines Cards

 Happy Valentines Day! Here is Livia and I with our beautiful strawberries that we dipped in white Chocolate and drizzled in pink chocolate.

 Swimming at the Aquatics Center, We love it there because they let the little kids go down the big slide.  Liv is a water baby and I think Tyson had a pretty good time too!

after trying to fly a kite and going for a walk we hung out in front of the house and played some hop scotch and had snacks.

 This makes me so happy...I asked Liv to smile and this is what I got!  Love it!

 Uh oh...mommy is needed after tripping and falling on the sidewalk.  All is better after a kiss and snuggle.

 Outside riding Jaden's razor scooter and looking for lizards.

 Livie was happy to snuggle with Poppy after decorating him with her stuffed puppies: pickles and dot.

We also went to the parade of homes while we were there. We only saw 4 houses but the ones we saw were pretty amazing. It's hard to imagine having some of the things that these people had in these houses. so amazing. We also stayed up late one night and watch Skyfall...good movie.
