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:
dippin' dots
fresh from my front yard.
That storm was a doozey!

Sounds like you guys are pretty busy! (I'm glad that my husband doesn't know about mustache-march yet). How old is Ethan now? He looks like such a little man! Happy Birthday, Bud!

Cindy, you look amazing! (no surprise there, but I just have to tell you.) I am impressed you pull those two around in that trailer...it is a lot harder than you initially think.

So fun! I've never heard of that museum, I'll have to check it out!

Lots of fun pictures and goings-on! I, too, am impressed that you're already out biking with your kids. I know how hard it is! When I was six or seven months pregnant with Gunnar, I biked Sophie and Ingrid to a park a few miles away and nearly killed myself because the entire return trip was UPHILL. I'll never forget that ride! The Treehouse Museum is awesome. I wish we lived closer to it! I'm glad we got to see you at baby Eric's blessing last month!

Cute pictures! Why isn't Joel pulling the kids? JK I think it's awesome you are doing it. I tried once at my sister's house and it is hard work! I need the exercise though. Ethan is adorable- I'm glad I got to see them last month. Cassidy is so smart. She knows articles of faith? Wow.
If you think your scrapbooking is slowing down, mine has died. And my blogging is almost dying too. Hopefully they'll come back to life soon!

Super cute updates Cindy! I know how hard it is pulling just one in a trailer, so...GO YOU!:)
