SOCCER!!

Both Mary and Brynn decided to try soccer this spring. It has consumed our lives for the past 2 months, because Brynn plays on Wed/Fri and Mary plays on T/Th, but it has been so fun. Both girls have great coaches with lots of friends on the team, and they have both really enjoyed themselves. Mary even scored a goal!

Spring Break in St. George

For Spring Break last week we went down to Southern Utah to visit Corey, Jessica, and little Colin. We had a great visit, and a lot of fun - Thanks Corey and Jessica!

Colin, Lucy, and Kelsey in the tub. Colin is so cute, and very energetic...my girls LOVED playing with him!
A rare family picture! This is us at the Brigham Young house tour...it was a rainy day, but the tour was very interesting.
Mary and Brynn at the Fiesta Family Fun Center...one of our rainy day activities.
A beautiful day at Red Rock! My girls LOVE to go to this park and hike around, they have so much fun.

Happy Easter

We had a great Easter. The girls were so cute finding their baskets. Then we went to church, and ended the day with a great dinner and Easter Egg hunt with the Kilpatrick cousins.

Lucy showing off her Easter dress. She picked it out, and she LOVES it!

Kelsey loved playing with the eggs.
All the cousins! Can you believe we got this good of a picture with this many kids?!?

Kelsey is 9 months old...Today!

Rub your eyes again, they are not deceiving you...I am actually updating my blog. Today is this little sweetie's 9 Month Birthday!! I can't believe she is already that old. She is kind of high maintenance, but she is very sweet, very cute, and we would not trade her for anything...even a baby who actually sleeps. We LOVE our little bubbles!!

Isn't she so cute? This picture was taken by my friend Angie Clayson when she was six months old, but she really doesn't look much different, except she's gotten a little more hair. Everyone loves her red hair, and we constantly get asked "Where did that red hair come from?" Kelsey is a great eater! She started out my biggest baby and had kept the title! She has figured out her "pincer" and loves to eat dry cereal, crackers etc. She also loves all of her baby food.

Like I said she is a great eater, and although she looks bigger than Lucy in this picture, she isn't...yet.
I had to capture the rare moment of her sleeping, because she just looked SO sweet!
Kelsey has learned to crawl, and is constantly finding fun things around the house that aren't actual "toys", and if it is smaller that her hand it is immediately in her mouth!

Brynn is Six!!

On December 29th, Brynn turned six! She is such a sweet, silly, fun part of our family. We are so lucky to have her!

She got to celebrate about five times over about three weeks time. First, and possibly most fun was the joint birthday party with her friend Abby at the Spa. They had a blast! Next was a small party with her family in St. George, then jumpin' jacks and a family party at home on her actual birthday, now she is just waiting to take treats to school tomorrow. Here are some cute pics of the celebrations!

All the cute girls at the party

Oh yeah, Brynn lost her first tooth about a week before her birthday!

She was really excited to get her art tower!

Mary's Baptisim

I know, I am so behind!! Due to computer problems and a crazy December, I am just getting around to posting the wonderful day of December 6th - Mary's Baptisim! Mary was so excited she was giddy - it was very cute. The baptisim was a little early - 9am, but very nice. Her Aunt Flur and Aunt Katie were part of the program, and she was baptized and confirmed by her Dad. She was baptized with one other girl - Mandy. Afterwards we had a nice brunch at our house with all the family. It was a very nice day. A special thanks to my friend Lindsay and her mom for making Mary's special dress - it turned out perfect and Mary looks darling in it. Here are some pics of the big day.
