Teeball mixed in with a little bit of this and that

Sometimes I just feel like timing is speeding up. The days are flying by!
Scarlett playing third base!
Mckinley just being cute!
Mckinley thinks its so fun to wear Payton's backpack!
Funny story = failure mommy moment
The kids finished playing in their tee ball game. They set their bags behind the car so that I could put them in the back. I was so flustered from dealing with Mckinley and just getting everyone and everything in the car that I forgot to put the kids bags in the trunk. I went to back up and felt a bump and quickly realized I just ran over the bags. I parked the car got out and threw the bags in the back. Payton looked through the bags as we drove home. His bag was totally fine. Scarletts was the one I ran over. It had tire marks on the bag and the helmet got a "little broken" (Payton's words). When we got home and she showed me the helmet I couldn't help but laugh. I was embarrassed that I did that, but it was too funny at the same time. Scarlett was a little upset, but handled it well. We had to buy her another pink helmet and she was fine once we did that.
They do LOVE each other!
Mckinley figured out how to blow bubbles in her milk. Not my favorite thing, but she thought it was amazing.
One night when I was still awake watching TV Payton came down stairs because he couldn't sleep. I let him snuggle with me. I really enjoyed this. It's not often enough that he lets me hold him.
Mckinley is becoming quite the little jumper on the trampoline. Any chance she gets to play out there she's up there jumping! I am so happy she likes it and can jump alone or even with Payton and Scarlett. 

One morning before taking Payton to school the kids insisted on getting their picture taken with Bear.

In the dugout waiting for their turn up to bat!
My kids look like bums in these pictures. I hate when they pick out their own clothes, but I know I have to let me. I usually look at them and tell them to change, but I don't always win that battle. I had to take a picture though to document their amazing fashion skills!
Payton and Josh doing something with all the professional baseball team helmets.
Just relaxing on a Sunday evening!
Sundays are my favorite day of the week. I do not 1pm church, but I love that Sundays are a day of rest and family time.

Easter Weekend!

The weekend began with my being able to go and help in Payton's class for half the day. 
 They had an Easter Egg hunt!
 All the kids had a great time. I love being able to go help out in the classroom!
 Here they are again! Cheese!!!!
 We were super lucky to be able to have Grandma and Grandpa Robertson and Michael come to our house for the weekend. Saturday morning we colored eggs. 
 Mckinley got her own special painting stuff so that she wouldn't make a huge mess with the liquid dyes.
 Showing off their beautiful smiles!

 Payton and Scarlett were able to get Uncle Michael to play with them on the trampoline. They loved that!!!
 Easter morning came and the kids didn't even wake up us. Us adults all woke up and it was quiet, but when we came down stairs they kids were just sitting on the couching watching tv waiting for us. They looked at their Easter baskets, but didn't go through them. Silly Kids!
 All ready for the egg hunt in the backyard!
 We hid a TON of plastic eggs filled with candy in the backyard. 
 They loved searching for them all!
 Mckinley finally caught on and got excited with each egg that she found!

After the egg hunt we had to get a picture of us all. It's not our best picture, but it's real life. We had a wonderful Easter weekend. We were so glad to have grandma and grandpa and Michael with us!

Random

Mckinley is growing and changing all the time. She is definitely not a baby anymore.
She has a personality that only we see in our home. She is too shy around everyone else.
Payton begged to go play tennis for over a week. He is getting better which is nice. 
Over General Conference weekend we headed down to Aunt Christy's. Kevin and Liz came also with their kids. All the kids were obsessed with singing 'let it go' from Frozen. 
Ella, Mckinley and Scarlett singing)
The loved jumping on the trampoline!
They even had a little picnic in the backyard

Saturday night we headed over to the high school so we could watch our Nephew Braden in his school play. "Bye, bye, birdie"
He's the bar tender in these pictures.
Sunday we continued watching conference. The kids loved the 'conference candy'
Kevin and Tommy were struggling to stay awake. After the last session we all headed home. The weekend was fun and uplifting. We love being able to spend time with family.
Mckinley LOVES her barbie princesses and princes.
I was sitting at the desk working and this silly little girl asked to be wrapped in this blanket. A few minutes later I turn around to see her laying on the ground asleep. 
Cheesey faces all around!
We found a sweet deal on crags list and couldn't pass it up. We got a trampoline for the backyard!
Mckinley just being herself!
Since Payton is at school all the time I hardly get any pictures of him. Scarlett is always asking me to take pictures of her and Mckinley. She loves when Mckinley is being cute and sweet. She usually says to me, "awe, mom look, take a picture of Mckinley and I being cute'. Its very sweet and I love that they get along.
