April 2013

Around the house: 

Annie & Shannon were sunbathing one afternoon. The rock line dividing them cracked me up:

Our babysitter dropped by this Conference Basket for the kids to enjoy!

 Cousin Time!!

 Cole was fearless climbing this tree at the park--can you see him at the very top?

 We were trying to detox Shannon from a sugar overload, and Annie knew it so she took Shannon "healthy trick-or-treating" throughout the house--complete with watermelon in a tupperware:

 I caught Cole at the kitchen table with two books while his cereal was getting soggy:

And this is how Shannon rolls through the neighborhood:

ROAD TRIP!

I took the kids out of school and drove them to California to see cousins and use our Disneyland Passes one last time before they expired in May:

 I got a speeding ticket going 100mph--who knew the Odyssey could get going that quickly? I felt so awful.

Had to stop at the train McDonald's in the city where Tyler used to live:

 So happy being together with cousins again!

We got to go to my sister's church where Caleb was ordained a deacon. Annie had Andrew write in her journal about it:

 Then Tyler met up with us and partied at Disneyland for 3 days!!

 My sis in law got this great shot of Cole on the swings:

 I think we rode Ariel about 294 times in those three days!

 Trying to hide my pregnant self:

The kids LOVED California Screamin!

After Disneyland, we spent a few days with my sister. These babies were BFFs as long as they didn't have to share anything! ;)

 We made the trek back to Colorado safely--with no speeding tickets!

Annie's preschool had an art show that was really impressive! Most of the pics will be in her scrapbook, but here are two from the night:

By the end of April, Annie was doing MUCH better at soccer and actually excited to attend her games:

She was even shoving other players!
