Quadruple baby shower!!

Two cute new babies have arrived...meet Reagan and Colin!

Two more are on the way!! We can't wait to meet them in May and June!

We had fun playing the memory game. The candy bars coordinated with baby terms. We thought it was funny that Kathleen got the match for baby girl which won her a Baby Ruth since she is having a baby girl! Lis got an O Henry for the baby boy match.

Robyn suprised us all with the news that she is pregnant too! She is twelve weeks along right now. We had fun filling her in on all she needs to know about being pregnant and having a baby!

Robyn made this cake for all of us! She always makes such cute cakes. The rasbery filling in the middel was delicious!

All of us girls had so much fun together! We were glad that Marilee was in town for the shower.

It was fun hanging out with Peter and Marilee. We only get to see them about once a year. It was the first time we met Colin. He is such a handsome baby. It is fun because my good friend Marilee married my cousin Peter. When we get together it is friends and family!

Arches

We went on a trip to Moab a few days ago. It was one of the trips we had always wanted to go on but never got around too. We decided to go since it was Mckennas spring break from school. It was also the first time camping with all three of our kids. They all did really well and had a good time. We had a few moments but that was to be expected. We bought a new tent that sleeps eight. The kids loved being able to camp out. We spent hours trying to find a campsite. A word to the wise if you plan on camping in Arches you have to book it months in advance. So we ended up camping just outside of Moab at an area called Kens lake. We went on a lot of hikes and saw most of the park. Mckenna was a good little hiker. She was waiting most of the time for us to catch up. She ran most of the hikes and had fun climbing all over the rocks. It was the perfect time of year for hiking. It wasn't too hot or cold. We had a really fun time together!

a house full of kids!

On Monday we had a full house. A few of my friends came over with their kids. We had eight kids under the age of five!
The kids had a great time playing and running all over the place! We were suprised we could get them to hold still for this picture
My friend Liz was visiting from California! It was great to see her again! Her brother Dan came over too. All the kids loved having him there! He ended up entertaining all eight of them while us girls got to catch up.

Potty training success!

We are so proud of Parker this week! We have been going through the whole potty training business for awhile now. Parker at first just wasn't interested. He would say to me, "Mom, I will use the potty tomorrow." So we are so happy this week when we had a breakthrough! He has started using his toilet quite regularly. The big news is that he went number two this week as well. We were getting really sick of changing those ones. We took Parker to his favorite place Chuck E cheese as a reward.

I vote Mitt!

Halle is a big Mitt Romney fan! My Dad got this bobble head at our family white elephant exchange. Halle really loves to play with it.
When we come to visit, Grandma Loni always gets it out for her to play with. It keeps her entertained for hours. Mitt can always bring a smile to her face.

She just can't seem to get enough of him. She is even giving him a kiss! We were laughing so hard today as we watched her!

Girls night out!!

On Saturday night I got to hang out with my friend Kathleen. We get together quite often but we usually have five kids to look after. So it was great to go have fun and not worry about the kids. We went to the Ladies night at Deseret book. We waited in line about 45 minutes to get the door prize. The time just flew by because we always have lots to talk about. I saw so many people I knew while we were hanging out in the store. I saw my friend Jessica and then I saw cousin Melanie, Jennifer, and Ashley. It was fun talking to them and seeing how grown up Ashley is looking. We then went next door to Roberts craft for some more shopping. We got some great deals on Scrapbook albums. Then we ended the night by going to dinner at Olive garden. The Olive garden is one of our favorites and we went there a lot in high school. We had fun reminiscing about all the times we had eaten there. We were laughing and having so much fun. It was just like we were seventeen again!
