Rock 'N Glow 5k

Wesley wanted to run a race this year, so we had the perfect opportunity! A "Rock 'N Glow" 5k with our friends Amanda/Trinity Taylor and Emily Leavitt. I thought for sure Wes would have to stop and walk a few times, but he really impressed me with his endurance. We had run a few practice "jogs" before school, but every time he had to stop and complain about side aches, etc. The music kept us pumping and he really has a competitive drive with wanting to finish before everyone else. At the end, he and I full on sprinted the last few blocks. I really tried my hardest to push ahead, but he stayed right there with me! We are still debating on who finished first :) 

Levi's expressions

Every soon to be two-year-old has crazy expressions. I love getting them on camera! If only you could hear his moans and screams and laughter that go along with them. His latest words/phrases: wesee, isic, ausin, watch me, shoes please, water mom, don't want to. He is a little parrot with his speech and actions, following his brothers around the house and doing whatever they do! It helps me a lot to try to get things done.

Mother's Day

I love Mother's Day. I love waiting in my bed, reading alone and listening to the ruckus downstairs as the boys make me breakfast. This time it only took 3 hours, but it was super meaningful. Jared went on line and found me a "glutten free" pancake recipe for my Whole 30 detox I had started. That just melted my heart to think about how much time and effort he put into that. The boys made me sweet cards that brought tears to my eyes, especially as they read me a book about boys that grow up. I feel so blessed to have these little gentlemen in my life.  I even got to play my piano as Jared cleaned up breakfast!

Random March April Pics

A few pics I took during these last few weeks.  Everyone loves to kiss Levi, now that he knows how to! The boys performed in the ward Primary talent show, each playing a piano solo. Austin played, "Take me out to the ballgame" and Wesley "Raider's March" (Indiana Jones).  Meg, Clinton, Cedi, Connor, Jenna and Wyatt Christensen came to visit us for their Spring break. It was a short 2 days of swimming, Macayo's and baseball games. We loved their company and staying up late to watch Netflix documentary (Mansome!) Wesley got rewarded for being on Principal's list. Isaac took a fieldtrip to the Butterfly Garden with his preschool class.  The boys sometimes play our board games, but not very often. It's exciting when they do! Isaac got himself dressed one day, which was a disaster! Austin lost his first real tooth and got 5 bucks from the toothfairy! Levi is such a ham for the camera.
