March

Some day our kids are going to put together a band and be rockin'! They can constantly be found playing the guitar or beating on pot or pan! 

One night Anthony and I bought Wreck it Ralph for the kids on Amazon and we finished painting our basement. I know it looks like a puky pink but it's actually a dark brown that really makes our basement feel comfy and homey! It only took us a year to get all the walls painted! At this rate, we should have the whole house done in about 6 years! 

March 13th Anthony's parents arrived home from their mission in Australia! It has been so awesome to have them home and to feel complete as a family again! It makes me homesick for my brother and sister but I soon we will all be together again too! 

To do Julia's hair it usually consists of one episode of her choice of cartoon and my working as fast as I can to get all the tangles and snarls! She's getting better about sitting still but we can't go without our Dora the Explorer! (Thankfully she has moved on to old Disney cartoons with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck! My sanity was saved!)

All my family came over to celebrate Peter's 8th birthday and my brother, James, 27th! Naomi had started to crawl around by this time and was keeping us all entertained! 

Grandpa and Jacob are quite the buds! 

Great Grandma Monson brought cupcakes for everyone! This is Peter blowing out his candles! 

James got numbered ones! There's no way that we could fit that many candles on two cupcakes!

Jacob sneaking into daddy's candy!

Peter got the game of Twister for his birthday! It was a hit till we lost the spinner! 

This was the highlight! The game of Battleship!

Too bad the pieces only last a few days!

The big one! 

The first remote control car to enter our home!

Doesn't he look so excited?

Peter was so excited to start scouts! This was his first day! 

One day after the boys had earned up enough money they each bought yo yos from Amazon and they got to paint them and decorate them! 

Matthew and Julia got to do water colors!

Such concentration!

Forgot to rotate this one! Opps!

They tore up our road for almost four months while they replaced pipes and the road top! It was crazy!

The rest are from Peter's friend birthday party! We did a pizza theme!

They did a chef relay where they had to put stuff on and then run to the other end of the room!

We did a balance a ping pong ball on a spoon as well!

Then we broke out the Kinect!
