Did you know that wearing 7 pair of sunglasses will still damage your eyes if you look at the sun?  Well we didn't until AFTER we watched the eclipse on Sunday.

 We decided we needed a blanket picture since all of our kids are hooked on them.  Lanaya by far is the pickiest of them all.  She has to have silk on the edges to suck on and then rub soft inside.  It is so cute though because she gets so cuddly when she has it. 

 I thought this was a cute picture of Spencer watching t.v. at the hotel.  What a stud!

 Kaylee wear dress ups.

 Kaylee dressing up Spencer.  Adam just had to get several picture of that.

 I'm posting these pictures because Adam must have been in a goofy mood.  He's pulling some sort of face in each picture.

 Lou and I at the Running With Angels race.  I really didn't expect Lou to keep up but she sure did and had fun.  She even beat me.  I'm bumbed that I didn't get my goal time but now I know where I'm at.  I did however take 2nd in my age group.  There were over 1500 runners and I can be proud to say that. 

 J.J. took state in the 300 hurdles just like Brock did.  It was so fun to go and support and see him have success after such a long season.  Congrats J.J.

 Our little Lanaya is now 1! 

 I really can't believe it.  It seems like last week I was sitting on the front porch waiting and waiting and waiting to go into labor.  These are a few pictures of her favorite things.   

 Riding in the Jeep

 Mommy's Cell Phone

 Playing like a big girl with Kaylee and Spencer.  She just loves to push this bike around.

Lanaya is such and independent person.  I love it and at the same time fear it.  Her most recent accomplishment has been going to the potty.  I'll brag right now that she has gone a total of 6 times in 2 weeks.  It's amazing how smart they are.   

Precious Everyday Moments

 Lanaya at 11 months.  She is trying to be so grown-up lately.  She has the most contagious smile.  We Love It!

 I like this picture because it captures just how small she is.

 This happens every morning. Kaylee will turn on a DVD every morning while they wait for me to wake up.  It is the best thing I ever taught her. 

 Happy Lanaya every morning when we got get her.

 We do a lot of bike riding lately.  Spencer has just got the hang of a tricycle and Kaylee rides his other tricycle because he can't reach the peddles yet. 

This will always be a precious moment.  Grandma Joyce is always reading to the children.  They just love to sit at her side and have her read the books she gives them for their birthdays.

Thankyou Pinterest

 Because of Pinterest I've been doing so many new craft projects and trying tons of new yummy recipes.  This past week we made these roads from old jeans.  I have pile of jeans that didn't mind cutting up and here is how they turned out. 

 It was a great indoor project that the kids loved while they were sick and stuck inside anyway. 

Project 2

 Before pictures of this little end table.  We bought it on KSL for like $5.00 because of it's shape and because it will hold the toys we keep downstairs. 

 I finally got around to painting it and making it super cute.  I just love the paintable wallpaper and the blue/gray color we have for the inside.

Before and After Project 1

 This is a little vase that love and use to use all the time.  But it has been tarnished for two years and just getting worse.  I 'm to cheap to go and buy a whole bottle of professional stuff just for this one project.  But I happen to come across this little trick in an old cookbook I have.  Just rub bakind soda on with a damp cloth and....

 WhaLa!  It's not perfect but man it is much better and usable.  I bet it would have come completely off if it hadn't been two years.

Isn't this vase just so cute.  We love to put our pink blossoms in it and let them dry there.  

This is what our bathroom counter looked like the past two weeks.  I was so happy to finally clean it off.  The kids had strep or something just like it and Adam has has sinus infections.  And me.....well I've just had to wipe a whole lot of noses and loose a lot of sleep. 

April Dresses

Adam's Mom made us these cute dresses for spring and we finally got a picture of us wearing them. Everyone a church commented on how cute they are. And yes, it was freezing out there today.

I decided that I need more picture of Lanaya. She is getting cuter every moment and I'm really enjoying her lately. She has started to do some sign language. Her first sign is 'please.' She is waving bye and begging for food most of the day. I seriously can't keep her fed. Everyone that sees her can't believe that she is walking because she is so small. My dad calls her "little minute." I love it.

Spring Dresses and Egg Hunt

Grandma Pitcher made these darling skirts for all of us. They are so cute I think we might do a family picture in them. Aren't these shoes adorable?

Kaylee's

All 3 of them.

I guess this is the best smile he could come up with.

Egg Hunt at the Park! Kaylee and Spencer actually got out there and filled their baskets on their own. It was very fun.

Grandpa Pitcher helped Lanaya open eggs.

Grandma Pitcher and Lanaya. How Sweet? Thanks for coming to visit!

St. Patricks Day

I thought I would blog about St. Patricks Day before Easter creaps up on us.

The kids had so much fun because when they woke up they found a suprise. A Leprechaun found our Lucky Charms dropped marshmallows all over the house. First he went to the bathroom. Then he left a trail in the kitchen to a new box of cereal for breakfast. He also left a kiss on each of their ears when they were sleeping. It was so cute to see them walk around all day with a little green on their ears. This was at the freezing cold parade.

Cake Pops and Story Time

I made some sport themed cake pops for a baby shower. I fell in love with the containers but the cake pops themselves did hold up like I wanted. They fit perfectly with the whole food table and decorations.

At toddler time at the library the kids made these sleep masks. It was a cute idea but I thought there is no way they will really wear them. I was wrong. When I went to check on Kaylee she was wearing her mask. It was so cute. I didn't think she understood what they were used for and that goes to show that kids are always listening and soaking up everything you say. Spencer on the other hand hung his on his cow. Typical!
