March Moments

I decided to sign the kids up for spring soccer.  Caleb informed me that he HATES soccer, so he got to sit on the sidelines.  Taylor & Rylee missed out in their earlier years because I happened to have a couple more babies!  I think that they are going to enjoy it.  Lexi is just happy to be there and Luke is constantly on the verge (or past that) of tears.  "MOM! Everyone keeps trying to take the ball from me!"

Taylor had her friend Lindy over one afternoon and they made the cutest play-doh creation!!  I love when they use their imaginations.

My little cousin Its!

This poor guy had to have a tooth pulled.  They one coming in was all jacked up and moving his front tooth in a weird way, so we had to have one yanked out.  He was a trooper!  He really did a lot better than I thought he would.  He did have tears coming down his cheeks while the dentist was working on him, but I was expecting screaming and freaking out.  He has come such a long way!

We had received a gift card from Maddox and got a banana cream pie one night.  These ladies wanted to have a pie eating contest.  I heart them.

A few of us did a strange thing.  Starting back in January Angela, Jeff, Dylan & I started going to my parents house every Monday night to watch......the Bachelor.  I know. It is weird.  But it was quite fun too!  January & February can really drag on and it was something silly to look forward to.  I attempted yummy chocolate covered strawberries for the finale - they turned out really good!

Casey got the floor all finished in the kitchen/bathroom area and did such a good job!!  We decided to get new carpet upstairs and the stairs.  That means you have to paint first right?  To say it was difficult to pick a paint color would be an understatement.  I painted one color - and it looked blue after it dried.  I finally decided on another, and I still don't love it.  But I was out of money.  I guess that is one way to make a final decision!

I took the kids to an 8 AM dentist appointment  one morning before school.  We were on time and no cavities!  SMILE!

These cuties came home from preschool with little leprechaun masks :)

These cuties also got their Kindergarten check up & shots.  They were brave and hardly cried after the shots.  The way that Luke is eyeing the nurse cracks me up. 

Casey's dad came over one afternoon to help with something and he & Casey were dressed the same!!  It cracked me up.  What's funnier is when I stepped outside to take their picture Brad rolled his eyes so hard I thought he was going to hurt himself.  But he loves me so I got a tiny smile.

It's Great to be Eight!

These little ladies were baptized!! 

I had the best of intentions when picking out their baptism dresses and getting some professional pictures scheduled - but I lived and learned.  I think these ladies are beyond darling, but the lighting and the snow with the dress color and the bitter cold with a lace dress.....all of those were NOT in our favor.  We tried another day (the pictures on the invitations) and I just took those ones.  I need to stop overthinking and just make things more simple!  I will treasure both sets of pictures forever though.

They were so excited.  They loved all of their family & friends that were able to come & support them on their special day.

Casey got a little nervous in the baptismal font, but came through after his nerves settled.  He was able to confirm them both that day with both sides of our families there.  Times like this I'm glad girls don't have the priesthood.   I would get so tongue tied!  Casey always does such a good job.

After they were baptized we had a little lunch our church.  Casey & I were able to give them each their own set of scriptures and darling Scripture bags.  They got some beautiful jewelry from my parents, my siblings & Colby's family.  They also got sweet keepsake book from Casey's parents.
