Easter Activities

 Our first attempt of of dying Easter egg. Makenna enjoyed about 1 egg and I spent the rest of the time trying to keep Tanner out of the dye.
 Luckily I still like dying eggs, I got to do 11!
 Easter egg hunt at Great Grandma and Grandpa shumway's.

We like to move it move it

We liked moving so much a year ago that we thought we would do it again! Just Kidding! Half way through February the management company that we were renting the house from notified us that the owners of the house were going to be moving back. Our lease was up at the end of March so we were all of the sudden  on the hunt for a new place to live. I spent the whole next week making my part time job trying to find a new rental house. Through a series of events we were thankful able to find a nice place and its still in our same ward! Then with Brad's schedule it was best if we moved in the first week of March, so I had about 2 weeks and a few days to pack up our house. Thankfully the kids were pretty good during the packing, and family and friends watched them a few times to help get things done. Now that we are settling in I like the house. It's always hard to live in the ciaos of moving boxes.



 With moving to a new place there are always things you end up having to buy, which means lots of trips to target, and always having to visit this target dog.
 Brad has been working hard to get all the lawns looking nice, here he is building a fire on the palm tree stump in the back yard to burn it down. I just thought this was humorous went I went out to see what he was doing. 
The bank is pretty close to our house so we walked there one day when I needed to deposit some checks. Makenna made sure to get a sucker for each of us. This is Tanner's first sucker and he ended eating most of the stick.
 Fun trip to the Zoo with the Allen's
 Trying to get them all in the same picture!
These little crazies just wanted to climb around.

February 2015

During February Brad had a week off of work. It seems like every time he gets a break he spends a lot of time catching up on all the things he has to put off. We did get to go do some fun things as a family while he was off though.
 We went to the Zoo
 Helping dad excercise

 Kids playing on our back patio.

 One evening Brad took the kids around through the alleys and got a bunch of wood. We roasted marshmellows and kept Tanner out of the fire :) 


 Took the kids to enchanted island

 These LOVE letters are at our Library, the kids have fun playing on them when we meet up with friends.


 At one point Tanner got ear infection, teething and a cold. So miserable, for everyone
 Trying to entertain the kids while waiting for his prescription.
I walked into the room one evening and found the kids piggy banks like this. I just thought it was cute :)
 A highlight of the week is to watch the truck dump our recycling.
Brushing their teeth together, how did tanner get this big?

We had a very hungry caterpillar on our hands, and Tanner ate his way through this book.
