Daisy goes to school

 Hudson's class had a pet week last week and his teacher asked if we could bring Daisy to school. Hudson was so excited the boys gave her a much needed bath the night before so she wouldn't be so stinky!

 Hudson told them all about his dog, that she is a friendly dog, she likes to chase Remy and I, and she like to go on walks. He also is in charge of cleaning up her poop and he was so proud to share that!
 Remy wanted a picture of him hanging on the monkey bars.
 Showing the class how Daisy will go down the slide, I don't think she loves it but she will do it for the boys!
Tea waiting patiently in the stroller, she loves to be outside, I am so glad its getting a little warmer so we can go out more often. When I hold her up to the window she loves to watch Daisy and the boys playing outside.

Camera Clean Up

I love these kiddos! They sure enjoy each other and it is so fun to watch they interact, the boys are so sweet with Tea and she thinks the world of them.
Travis has been competing in the open work outs for the Crossfit games. Brady and Alley came to visit and I was able to get a babysitter, so we went to go and cheer him on. It was fun to be there and see him do good, we really enjoy crossfit and I am so grateful he can train at the gym so I can go work out for free. It is so fun, the people are so awesome. We all push each other, cheer each other on, and have some healthy competition.

The work out was
AMRAP ( as many rounds as possible) in 20 min
5 Power cleans 155lbs
10 toes to bar
15 wall balls
He did so good he got 10 rounds! It was so intense he had 28 seconds left to do 15 wall balls for a complete round and we were all cheering and going crazy. He got them done just in time!
After, they all took some time on the ground for a bit. I did this work out a few days before with less weight and knees to elbows and it was killer!
Wall balls

We also moved a few weekends ago, across the street. Well it was a crazy and quick move but so worth it. Our friends asked us if we wanted to rent there house from them, it has been so much better. Travis saw all this wood in front of someones house and stopped and asked if they were getting rid of it. Lucky us hit the jackpot for some fire wood for next winter. Travis is so excited to chop it all this summer he has missed some good old manual labor. He takes his last final on Friday for the semester! We have almost made it one year! He is signed up for some online classes this summer but it will be nice to do some fun things as a family! 

Gymnastics

We signed the boys up for gymnastics a month ago and they are loving it! Remy goes once a week and Hudson twice, Remy will say " its my day today". They can go watch each other but they are in different classes so sometimes it makes it hard because they want to be doing it to. 
Remy is the only boy in his class but he doesn't seem to mind.

His coach does a really good job, it would be hard to keep 3-4 year olds still waiting for there turn.


Fun Run

Hudson's school had a fun run a few weeks ago, it was freezing cold. He was a little disappointed that he didn't win, so we gave him a pep talk and told him he could practice running.

Crossing the finish line!
Remy and Tea where good cheerleaders, all bundled up. 
Hudson has the best teachers I am so grateful, he loves school. Mrs.cook and Mrs. Hansen is the aid.

Friends come to visit!

I finally made Tea some new flowers for her hair, it is so fun having a girl!

My good friend Riva and her kiddos came to visit us for a few days during spring break. We had so much fun, I wish the weather would have been better. Our kids are all really close in age and they get along really good.
Hudson and Olivia have been friends since they were baby's, we had a pj day because the weather was so crappy we just hung out in the house.
Gavin and Tea are only 4 days apart, he is such a cute boy! Hudson and Oliva kept saying they were having a bouncing date.

Not that I am counting...

I can't wait.... in 92 days we will be going here:
To see :

My brother Parley who is currently serving a mission in Brasil and will return in June!!! 
 My parents who are serving as mission president in North Carolina, the boys have't seen them for a year by then!
My sister Beth, who is living with my parents but will be moving back for college this summer yeah!!!

 It has been two years since we have been togehter as a family and we will all be there!!!
 My siblings, it will be so nice to be all together again!! We cant wait, the next 92 days won't go fast enough!

Camera Clean Up

Crazy hair, I finally was able to convince Travis that Remy's hair was out of control and needed to be cut. He has a large heed as it is and the three inch puffy hair was not helping. 

 Travis took the boys sleding a few weeks ago when Tea was really sick and they were getting a little cabin fever. We don't have a sled and are to cheap to buy one at the moment so they took the little swimming pool. It was a hit, it went faster than all the other sleds and other kids where asking to try it. It work out nice the boys got to ride white trash style then switch and share a real sled with some one else. Who needs a real sled when you have a swimming pool!


 Remy is fighting the naps he could still use one some days, I put a show on for him and Hudson a few weeks ago and this is how I found him a few minutes later.
He was so ornery when he woke up he just wanted to snuggle which I was happy to do it doesn't happen often that he will sit still enough to do that. Hudson wanted to try and take a picture and he did a pretty good job. 
 The boys love to join Tea in the bath at the end of her bath, I don't think she minds. 
Tea has found her tongue, she loves to smile and stick it out at you. She is growing up so fast, she has been surprising herself when she rolls over. She is always happy to give you a smile and she sure loves her dad. 
 Grandma Ginger and Grandpa Jed came to visit us this weekend, it was so fun to have them here. The kids had a good time and we had a nice visit and played some card games. I am so thankful that my kiddos have such awesome grandparents that love them and love to spend time with them.
 It seems that she already has figured out how to strike a pose for the camera, Grandma Lil gave her this cute out fit and she is big enough to wear it now.
 Getting some kisses from grandma!

A few funny stories:
Remy: He has been going to speech therapy twice a week for 20 mins at the elementary school. The week Tea was really sick I had Travis take him, he hasn't met the teacher yet. Travis let Remy take his Daisy dog (stuffed animal) with him, so he walks into his class room and Mrs. Pam says to Remy ,"You brought someone new with you today", Remy quickly replies " Yep that my Daisy dog"! Poor dad doesn't seem to matter much.
Hudson: We went down to his Aunt Norine's to play with the kids and visit a few weeks ago. Travis told Hudson that there was going to be someone special there to see us,(grandma and grandpa) Hudson says" I knew it, its President Monson I am so excited"! Funny boy has been telling us lately that he wants to be the prophet. We just have to explain that we don't get to pick, and he can serve in other ways like going on a Mission.
