Brandon and Jennifer: March 2011

A Big Boy

Will doesn't like to sit in his high chair anymore. He has to sit on a stool to eat like his sisters do. He is growing up.

Brandon and I ran down to Salt Lake a few days ago to buy this stroller from a lady who had twins too. She used it for 11 months and it's in great shape, but best of all, she sold it to us for $100. Beige and black works great since we don't know the sexes of our babies yet. But wow, this was our first purchase in getting ready for the twins and it sure made reality set in when we got it home. :)

It comes with 2 car seats with the bases for the car. It took me a few days to wash all the fabric and wipe it all down...

...good as new! And Will likes to climb inside.

Will & the Pigs

It's Spring! And it's time to get the baby pigs and lambs to raise through the fall for the County Fair. None of our kids raise pigs to show in the fair, but other kids on our team do and they keep the pigs in our barn. The lambs were bought, but they're still at Carl's house. They should be here too any day.

William was too small last year to play with them. We got the pigs a few days ago, so Will is out here with Brandon checking them out...

...and getting his boots muddy or poopy... you never can be sure. :)

Cabela's

We went to Salt Lake to pick up a stroller for the twins, so we went a little further South to Cabela's to look at guns for Brandon. He wants to buy a 12 gauge shot gun.

We ate dinner there and shot at targets.

We checked out the huge aquariums....

...the trophy animal displays in the Big Game Country exhibit. William walked around it a few times covering his mouth for 10 minutes saying, "Ooooh"... like totally shocked at what he was seeing. It was so funny.

We didn't end up buying a gun today, but it was fun to visit Cabela's.

The Movies

Monday was Quality Teach Day which means there was no school for the kids! So for Baylee's birthday I took her and a couple of her friends to the movies to see The Chronicles of Narnia 4.

Our New Camp Trailer

We sold Brandon's dirt bike *big frownies* on March 11th and bought this camp trailer 4 days later for the same price! The trailer is a '94, 32 feet and sleeps 6 with extra room for a pack 'n' play for the twins when they arrive. :) It's got a bedroom and a big bathroom. We bought it from Kent's parents and they've kept it in excellent condition. We love it and it suits our needs perfectly. We all can't wait for our first camping trip in it to Moab over Easter weekend!!!

The girls were so excited we have a trailer they slept in it Sunday night (since they had no school the next day).

They took their MP3 players, crayons, dry erase boards, and flash lights out there with them. Brandon parked the trailer in our fenced backyard, and with our dog back there with them it put my mind at ease that they'll be safe. They had tons of fun and proibably would of stayed out there all the next day if I didn't go get them to do their Monday chores. Poor kids.

Baylee is 10

We went to Mary's house for a combined birthday party for Taylee and Baylee since their birthdays are 3 days apart. Baylee wanted mostly cowgirl stuff.

We added 7 more candles to Baylee's cake so her and Taylee could blow them out together. :)

Classic Fun Center

My niece Taylee had her 7th birthday party at Classic Fun Center...

The kids all started on the bouncy toys. Will and Kalyssa jumped right in!

William was scared after a few minutes and wanted to get out.

I took him over to Pirate's Cove were there is lots of slides and stuff to climb around on. He stayed on this small slide.

Makayla, Kalyssa, and Will

Everyone got their skates on... Kalyssa tried out her new skates she got last month for her birthday. Until today, she's only been roller skating inside our house.

Nate helped Taylee and Kalyssa out in the rink. They had "walkers" for beginners that Kalyssa didn't need anymore but wanted to skate with it anyway.

Nate grabbed William for a few laps around the rink until his back started hurting... haha.

All the kids at her party posed for a picture.

Pizza time!

William was stealing other kids scooters, so I rented him one. I didn't think he would be able to use it, but he surprised me and took off with it no problem!

Everyone stopped skating to do the Hokey Pokey dance.

4 hours later it's time to go home! Whew! I was tired. :) Kalyssa obviously has energy left.

Filthy!

Brandon and William took our new trailer to Kent's shop to do some work on the axles. After a couiple hours Brandon called me to pick up Will cause he was going to start welding.

Will was having the time of his life playing with tools and getting FILTHY! Although he didn't realize how dirty he was until I pointed it out to him, then he wouldn't stop staring at his hands.

When Willie spends time with Dad he never comes home clean!!! :)

St. Patrick's Day

William got his St. Patrick's Day hat from nursery at church last Sunday, and our girls went in there to get one from Grandma Sharon too... Sharon is the nursery teacher and always has cute stuff for them. :)

I put one of them on Ryder today...
