Thank You, Instagram!

Thank you, Instagram, for being released for the Android and providing me with an easy tool to document my family's life! Here's what we have so far...

These kids live for Matt's bedtime stories! This night it was about pirates! Aaargh!

My white trash baby. She would dress like this all the time if I'd let her... 

Refusing bedtime, but I love those eyelashes!

After cleaning up, I found these two cuddling on the couch together! Sometimes they really love each other!

Family night miniature golfing! Matt's no longer allowed to play with us because he takes mini golf a tad too seriously...

He was super nervous about going into the rain outside!

"Look, Mom! I'm a gymnast!"

She lives on the edge.

"I'm four so I can do everything now!"

The title of this post is Livy's official slogan for her latest birthday. Apparently, once you're four - there's a whole new world opened up to you and you can do things that were unimaginable while being three. She is so funny! While we were driving home from CO, she was telling Matt and me about all of the things she can do now because she's four - then she stopped and asked us why her hands were still teeny? Apparently, she was expecting ginormous hands once she turned four - we assured her that her hands would get bigger soon. :) Anyhoo, I seriously can't believe Alivia is 4! She's getting so old - it's so weird. Her birthday was quite the extravaganza, as well. Since we spent her birthday weekend at Nana's, this girl got multiple birthday celebrations...

Preschool Celebration

We made cupcakes for her class together. Here she is eating the purple batter. We decorated them with pink frosting so that the purpleness inside would be a surprise. She was pretty stoked for her friends to bite into them!

 Birthday Girl!

 Red Robin Celebration

We went to Red Robin to celebrate Liv and Adam's birthday. When they were sung to - Liv and Adam were so nervous and confused - it was hilarious.

First Birthday Cake

(Yes, this kid got two birthday cakes in one weekend!)

I swear this kid believes he's an actual animal.

Actual Birthday Day!

I'm glad we were at my mom's for her birthday because I have been so tired lately - my mom was able to help me make it special and provide the energy that I am seriously lacking these days.

Here's the outfit she picked out for her big day! I begged her to leave the shorts off but she insisted and it was, after all, her birthday... She kept telling everyone she was wearing all of her favorite colors! Pink Purple and Blue!!!

JumpStreet Fun

My parents took us to this sweet place called JumpStreet with trampolines everywhere and bounce houses. Of course, Liv and Adam spent most of their time on these little outside play things.

 She told me this is her pirate face...

Adam was so nervous at first to climb up the sides so Liv would hold his hand as they went up together. It was so cute! I love when my kids love each other.

Here we are midday - Matt and Adam have both passed out from so much birthday celebration.

 The Lorax

After naps, my dad took Adam for a couple hours while Uncle Ky, Matt, and I took Liv to The Lorax. Weirdest. Show. Ever. But Liv enjoyed it!

Here she is making her own peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner because she's four now and that means she can make sandwiches...

2nd Birthday Cake!

She was so excited about this mini Ariel cake!

We ended the day with some classic goofy poses by this crazy girl! 

Happy 4th Birthday Livy Lou!!!

Happy Easter!!

Easter at Nana's was awesome! Apparently, the Easter Bunny out here is way cooler than the one in Utah... Livy was most excited about Easter because she knew it was the day before her birthday. :)

Waiting while Matt went and checked if the Easter Bunny pooped anywhere when he hid all of the eggs...

 Please let us go find our baskets and eggs!!!

 Sneaky Bunny

 She asked to have this pic taken next to all of her loot.

 I love that he set up shop here and went to town on his candy and toys.

Several HOURS after the kids woke and found their baskets, Uncle Ky finally made his way downstairs and found his basket. The kids were super interested and kept trying to take his candy despite their own mountains of candy.

Next came the eggs! The kids thought this was so cool. I told them secret messages were on the eggs and you had to dye them to find out what they said. They were quite intrigued.

Liv thought it was hilarious that one of Adam's eggs said Adam is Stinky :) 

 

Finally, it was time for church! The kids looked so cute in the clothes Nana got them!
