A few too many pictures (with more to come...)

Because I can't ever seem to get anything on my blog...here are pictures of what we were up to in...April - yeah, April.  More to come.  Contain your excitement please!

These two buddies spend a lot of time like this.  Chloe's reading has just exploded by leaps and bounds!  She is such a good little reader!  Parker loves having her read to him.  I love it because now I have help in the reading department!


Pilot Mountain
Over Spring break, I took the kids (and some friends ended up coming too) up to Pilot Mountain for a little hike and picnic lunch.  They had a great time climbing on rocks and just being out in the beautiful weather!  Dallin hung out in the backpack carrier and did great!
That sure looks like a cute belly to pinch!!
My Zach is such a fabulous big brother!  He helps me out so much and I so appreciate it!  I didn't want to try to go down this steep slope to the cave with Dallin on my back.  So, Zach helped Parker up and down the hill.
My hiking buddy

This made me a little bit paranoid, but I held it in and let them be kids!
My fabulous helper again...I love these pictures because it just shows how much Zach loves his brother and wants to help him.

I love this picture!
Hanging out having lunch!

Chloe is 6!! I can't believe my girlie is 6!  WOW, time flies!  Here are a few (really bad) pics of her birthday.


Getting ready to find Easter eggs with our fabulous cousins - Kamryn, Carson and Weston!  We sure do love those guys!

Karleigh's Angel Day
Sending our love notes to Karleigh in Heaven.  The kids love to do this.







Zach always gets a solemn look on his face when we are doing "Karleigh" things.  I know his brain is ticking about how much he misses her.  I ache for him, but am so glad that Karleigh had such a wonderful brother to spend her life on earth with.






Ready, Set, Let Go!



We all went inside when the balloons got too far away.  Zach stayed outside and watched and watched until the very last balloon went out of sight.  I almost lost it watching him stare into that blue sky.  He misses his sister so much and I know it is still so hard for him.

That face...heart melter.  Makes me cry for him.

Parker loves to hang out with Zach!  He is watching Zach play a game on his iPod.

Typical.

Oooo...be scared!  Chloe might get you with her cute scary face!
This girl LOVES to laugh!  I love the happiness she brings into our home!  So, so pretty!!
Uncle Brian came for a visit!  It was so fun to see him and get to play with him.  The kids thought he was their new jungle gym.  Such a handsome guy!
Sweaty after wrestling with Brian!

Uncle Brian can't come to my house and not wrestle Baxter!  Baxter loves the attention and Brian loves to trap him and squish him!


My squishy baby is not a baby anymore!  He is such a tall kid and growing SO fast!


What a handsome boy!!!  I sure do love my Zach!  He has grown up so much this year and is doing really well.  Can he really almost be a teenager?!?!?!

Can I please pinch him!!  Pictures purely added for cuteness!  I love this face!


Such a good reader!!

More posts to come...I promise!
