Visiting the cousins in.. Indiana

Mike had a conference in Chicago the first week of April and me and the kids were lucky to tag along. The kids and I were able to visit my sister Cesily and her family while Mike attended his conference in the Windy city. Or should I say the snowy city. :) We loved visiting our cousins. We enjoyed seeing the sites and seeing Aunt Ces-a-wee at work being the extraordinary mother that she is. They live in a beautiful home and we enjoyed catching up on playmobil, barbie, princess, little people, and play kitchen galore. The kids were in heaven with all the new toys and Isaac was completely entertained by his older cousins.. it was great.

The Babies rolling on the floor together.

The gang. Eden is a true princess.. She always wore a tiara and jewelry. I can hardly wait for Lillie and Ari to be interested in dress up and princesses. What fun!

Easter Sugar Cookie making. Ces made the best sugar cookies. The kids were in heaven.

The frosting was probably the best part.. 2nd, 5th,.. 10 licks good enough?
What a beautiful Smile!!!!!!!

Isaac had the cookie making down to a science. It takes lots of concentration.

The park.. All the kiddos love to swing.

The icecream eating


What yumminess! Ces and Jared's two boys.. what cuties.

They definately will be taller than our kids.

The rest of the darling family. It was so much fun to be with them.

My sis and I and are attached munchkins.

Didn't You Know....

That the perm was coming back in style!

Oh, Cupcake Happyness!

Mike is out of town, again, on business. My parents went to Arizona to visit Josh, Abbie and Tienna. Which has left me with a three year old wondering why he can't go on a plane too.
"I want to go on a big blue plane" "I want to go with Daddy too." "Where is Gwamma and Papa?"
Thank goodness, Kalise came over and gave the kids a little cheering up. Kalise made these cupcakes for her YW activity.


Aren't they so cute! They have given me the idea to do cupcakes for the kids birthdays! The Cookie Monster one was Isaac's favorite.

Total Happiness!

Lillie eating her 2nd! This one is the worm in dirt.

Gotta eat the yummiest part first!

March comes in Like a Lion!

It sure has been windy lately. I must have forgotten how windy the month of March can be. The wind has been howling and blowing for several days. Finally.. they did what they came to do and left this...

Isaac has been asking everyday if we could turn on the snowblower. This snow was wet but luckily it didn't stick. Isaac enjoyed eating the snow and helping Kalise get all the snow off the trees so that the branches wouldn't break. Lillie.. well.. she wasn't too sure if she liked the snow.

We Made It!!!

The Penske truck made it! My children barely made it! And the move is over for a little while anyway. We had to put some of our stuff in storage. Thank you, Thank you to all of those wonderful priesthood holders that have helped us load and unload. We couldn't have done it without you.

It takes a good while to get the children back on their schedules. The biggest highlight of the last couple of days is that Ari is currently sleeping through the night. YES! I can't believe it! I still have to get up and check on her and make sure that she is still breathing. Our schedules have been a little full since we have moved. We have been able to see Lisa ( Mike's sister) and her family, Hang out with several of the Davenports in Syracuse (Mike has beautiful cousins, I truly know now where Lillie gets those dreamy eyes), and go to the Dinosaur Museum with Aunt Joanne. I finally went in and got my hair fixed so that now it resembles a normal hairstyle. Thanks to my friend, Jen. Another highlight of this week was that I was able to get together with Ang, Shannon and Melanie and go see a movie. That just doesn't happen every day.

We went and saw this movie...

It was pretty cute! Hope we do it again soon.

All Aboard the Davenport Train!

All Aboard! The Isaac and Lillie train is just about to take off. You should see the knot that Mike used to put these Tike toys together. It's a work of Art! We just added Isaac's truck a few weeks ago. We found it at a thrift store, it was brand new and was only 20 bucks! Isaac loves it and has a difficult time giving Lillie a turn at the wheel. Having another big bulky toy has made the space a little more cramped.. but hey! We are moving! I will miss our neighborhood it is so quiet and peaceful. I will even miss hearing those crazy coyotes howling at night.

The trees here are starting to bud. Now we get to go to Utah and experience it all again. I don't think we will be taking to many rides in the neighborhood like this for awhile.

The many stances of Toddlerhood! Don't you love 18 month olds!

Look at this stance and expression in this picture!

Love it!! Love Her!!!

No one can make me smile the way....

MOMMY CAN!!!!!!
