dippin' dots and much more

I should really post on this blog more often, since my scrapbooking has slowed down lately. So here are many pictures of my busy children:
We bought Ethan in a big boy bed in February and he took it like a champ! He was super-excited about it, and slept in it with little trouble the very first night!
There was a "free" day on Frontrunner in Feb, so we hopped on board, and checked out some old trains at the Ogden station. My kids LOVE trains. A train passes by our house every half-hour or so and Ethan announces their passing EVERY time.

Ethan's birthday was in March and he did a pretty good job this time opening presents (with big sister's help, of course).
He received mostly books and movies, but he got these awesome trucks that can ride over anything. They're pretty sweet.
And of course, his favorite present was going to the pet store to get a 13 cent goldfish named Nemo. Cassidy also got a fish and named her Dori.
Instead of a big party, we celebrated at the Treehouse museum with Michael, Ethan's friend who is 5 days older. It was a double celebration:)

The music room is definitely my favorite.
The kids played school
and drove the fire truck
This picture may not look amazing, but it took like 15 tries to make them both look. Thank goodness for digital.
We came home afterwards for birthday cake for the boys. Michael wasted Ethan in blowing out the candles.Ethan dove head-first into his cake.

Ethan is admiring his fish. We have caught him spitting in the bowl, and even scooping out water and drinking it. The poor fish.

Cassidy got her first book of Mormon a few weeks ago; she actually really wanted one to bring to primary. She loves showing it off. When we first handed it to her, she opened it and said, "We believe dat men will be punished for day own sans..."

We have been enjoying warmer weather (until just recently) and have been on a few bike rides. Don't be fooled by my smile; pulling those two kids is SO hard!

Mustache March. Need I say more?
I'm so glad it's April now!

And last, but not least, my latest find:

fresh from my front yard.
That storm was a doozey!
