February 19th thru April 22nd. BYUI graduation, Easter, St Patricks, Ben Bday, Emily Bday, Isaac Bday. Etc.

 Benjamin's 12 birthday party was celebrated on Saturday, April 21st with 6 of his friends.  He played Wii games, Minute to Win it games, and laser tag. He had fun. 

















 The twins enjoyed visiting the neighborhood park. 

 Eric's chief is leaving the department. This is a good picture of Eric, Chief Skinner and Doug Doss.
 Emily had her 8th birthday and celebrated with 7 of her friends. She had an art party and had lots of fun. 





                                                











 Monday I celebrated my 38th birthday. It was  a fairly good day for an adult turning 38 ;)

 Ally wanted a picture of rainbow dash. 
 Eric took this picture on our trip to Rexburg ID. 





 Thursday, April 11th we headed to McCammon Idaho to my cousin's house for my graduation in Rexburg the next day. I graduated with a bachelor degree from BYU-Idaho in the College of Education and Human Development, Marriage, and family study degree.  They watched the kids for the day and Eric took me to Rexburg for graduation. It was a great day and I am glad considering we had a cursed week. While we were there we played laser tag with the Michaelsons (cousins). It was a great trip. 







 I had Eric take this picture on Saturday when we were home with the kids. Emily was mad that we were taking the picture. She wanted to play with her cousins. 

 Alesha was excited that we had matching hats. Hers came from preschool. She is such a dolly.




 My graduation out that no one got to see under my graduation gown.  Super cold outside. 
 Eric was on a temple picture fix this trip. This is the Idaho Falls, Id. temple



 This is the Rexburg, ID temple. 


 













 The kids helped Lindsey make mac and cheese. When Andrew saw the picture he asked where he was and why there were two Isaacs. It is funny because at school he is called mini Isaac. 

 My handsome hubby stole my phone. 
 Isaac loved this keyboard
 The twin falls temple. 
 The Shoeshone Falls near Twin falls. were gorgeous, massive, and scary for me as a parent. I was freaking out about my kids.  I would love to view them without children around.  






 The Boise, Idaho temple 






I thought this was a neat sky full of blanketed clouds in Kennewick. 

 My hubby and his partner from work. 
 We had a spring break staycation. One day we went to the court club. I taught the older 3 kids to play racquetball, Isaac played in the craft room and the twins enjoyed the play area. 


 After they all went to the game room to play foos ball. 


 Family Easter pics. 
 Allison wanted to be a pirate. 
 Mr. Williams gave Emily this jacket, it used to be his wife Mary Etta. I wanted to take a picture for him. 
 I have some awesome kids. 
 Ally getting another haircut. 
 The bonus room has been transformed into the 4 boys room. This was their choice, not mine. So far so good. They were all sleeping together in the rec room as it was. In fact, the girls were upset they couldn't move in as well. 
                                                 




 Eric took this improptu picture of Emily during her posed baptism pics and it is the best one.

 Nosy
 Dr. Seuss Day
 Emily wanted to get her ears pierced again for her baptism pics. She says "they make me feel beautiful." How could I resist?



 Emily joined karate at the court club. She is doing really well. She told me she wants to quit ballet because karate is more exciting. However, she has to finish ballet with only 4 more classes left after 9 months!

 Nosy likes to get up on Joseph bed and look at the dogs in our neighbors yard. It is pretty funny. 

 Believe it or not, this pile was created by our puppy. She finds socks and brings them to my room. Sadly this is a weeks collection. I didn't realize my room was that messy. 
 Favorite super hero day. She is owlette from PJ masks. 

 My kids have picked up roller hockey, one of my favorite childhood memories.

 Neighborhood park Easter Egg hunt. 















 Easter












 We took an overnight camping trip to Crow Butte, OR.  The kids loved the park, and hike.






























 This is how it is to only have two. Eric and I decided to take the twins to Wendys. It is possible to eat lunch without chaos.



 Emily loves the Mahany baby. Eric says I wasn't allowed to hold the baby. He says no smelling, holding, or cuddling until I am a grandma ... that okay my neighbor just had twins I cuddled and still am satisfied with my 6. 
 Scout pack meeting. 

 Emily had a school performance. She was so cute. Right side wearing a pale orange.
