Coloring, coloring, coloring!

These kids love to color, color, color all the time! I print off pictures for them to color from the internet of their favorite TV shows, and have noticed we have been going thru ink much more quickly lately!

This summer the Disney Jr. channel is having a thing where you print off a picture of your favorite character from their shows and email it into them and they will show it on TV. Luke thought this was such a cool idea! So we printed these pictures off and had thee kids color them. Problem is there are probably so many kids doing it that our chances of actually getting on TV are probably slim, but at least we tried!

They both love all the shows, but this day Luke decided to color Doc from Doc McStuffins and Halle did Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates.

Halle's painting of daddy

Today Halle did a painting of daddy and I thought it was so cute. I think this is one of the first real drawings/paintings she has done of a person.

First boating day of the season

We went boating for the first time of the season last Friday on Grandpa Sheldon's boat with he and Grandma Lori. The kids thought it was lots of fun and Cory and I did a tube ride with the kids - an actual real one! Grandpa Sheldon got going pretty fast at times and even took us over a few bumps to where I was getting a little nervous, but the kids loved it! I guess that means they are growing up!


Both kids were really cute, when both me and Cory were out wakeboarding they would both cheer for us. We are lucky to have a grandma and grandpa that are so much fun and active and go boating all the time and are so willing to take us!

But Halle said something so darling I have to share. Cory was the first to go and when he was out there wakeboarding she yelled out to him, "Daddy, you're a cool dad! You're my guy!"  Ahhh, cutest girl ever!

Jam, mustard and lettuce sandwich

No that title wasn't a typo, today Halle asked me to make her a jam, mustard and lettuce sandwich. At first I was trying to talk her into something else but she kept persisting so I just decided to let her try it and show her how yucky that combination is, but the plan backfired! I made her the sandwich and gave it to her, but she actually really liked it and started scarfing it up! I documented her making the sandwich with me for proof.


In fact, she was eating really quick and must have been taking too big of bites because on her last bite she started choking and I had to do the baby Heimlich on her - I had to hit her on the back to get the chunk of sandwich out. After a minute or so the chunk still wasn't out and she wasn't breathing and I was getting really scared, so I was on my way running to the phone to call 911 when all the sudden she choked it up. What a relief!

I guess I'll have to ration her mustard, jam and lettuce sandwiches from now on so she doesn't get too excited and eat so fast that she causes herself to choke again!

April pictures

A new outdoor mall opened up downtown called City Creek. We went down with the kids, parked down at Cory's work parking lot and rode the trax up to City creek. It was a fun day!

Errand Buddy

Halle is such a good little errand buddy. She has stopped taking naps just over the past month or so, so instead of me going home and having her nap while Luke's at preschool lots of times we will go and run errands. And she is so much fun. I love looking back in the car and seeing her happy, smiling face. She hardly ever complains, she is just as pleasant as can be and is so much fun. I'm sure I've said it before, but this girls is my sunshine! We love her so much! 

Thomas in the Hair
Halle got Luke's Thomas train stuck in her hair. It was quite the moment of panic, it's a battery run train so the wheels were turning and she was screaming and I was afraid it would eat a bunch of her hair up! Luckily I got to her in time to get it turned off without it taking too much of her hair!

Scary Halle Dinosaur!

Halle and Luke were at work coloring pictures. I left the kitchen for a minute and was back in my room. After just a minute or so Halle came running into my room, marker all over her, and announced, "I a scary dinosaur! Rawrr!" Cutest dinosaur ever!

These two love to get food and things out of the pantry, put them on the bench or table and play store or whatever else with them.

Crazy hair girl!

Mommy is obsessed with these curls! I love how long her hair has gotten lately and how pretty it is.

Look how pretty she is!

Play time!

At the zoo

These are Halle's very favorite shoes. She has worn them so much they are so worn out, but these are all she ever wants to wear. She is going to be so sad when she outgrows them! 

Halle loves to take all her clothes off and play outside! Silly girl!

This is how she watches conference :)
