Go Chiefs!

First Chiefs game of the season!! We sure love baseball around here!

The kids got to walk around the field in a parade before the game tonight, we had great seats, and it happened to be cancer night at Dozer Park tonight so we got a sign that says "I go to bat for Grandpa" :)

It was a great night!!

A Very Memorable Memorial Weekend

The Pettits came to visit for Memorial Day Weekend!!

Saturday we went to Cole's first baseball game and then to Hollands for snow cones and ice cream to cool off:

 Afterward we had an impromptu photo shoot of these cute kiddos :)

 The kids also loved having a friend to sleepover! Ben even made them tents over their beds to sleep in :)

We sure love this family!!

We spent the whole weekend playing, having movie nights, eating lots, and golf for the big boys and shopping for the big girls! It was such a great weekend!! Thanks for coming out Pettit family!!

Play Ball!!

Cole had his first baseball game today!!

Cole did awesome today...it should be a great season! Let the baseball fun begin!!

Cole the Bear

Cole had his scouting crossover ceremony tonight where he was given his Wolf badge and officially became a Bear!

So proud of Cole and all of his hard work! Keep it up buddy!!

Many thanks to his wonderful den leader, Emily Hancock, for all her hard work helping the boys earn their Wolf badge this year. We will miss the Hancock family when they move to Oregon!

Costume Day!!

Elise was pretty excited to get her dance costumes for her recital today!

Fairy costume for the Peter Pan "Following the Leader" dance and a sparkly, fringe twisting fun, pink costume for her "Chantilly Lace" dance.

And thanks to preschool she has blue hands today :)

Dancing is so fun!!

Kindergarten, here she comes!

Elise had her last day of preschool today! We have loved Our Savior Preschool and Mrs. Iverson. It's sad to say goodbye, but Elise is so excited for kindergarten! Watch out Central Primary, here comes one fun loving, spunky, smart girl!!

Field Trip Friday

I got to go on a field trip with this awesome kid today! We rode the bus to Bloomington to go to the zoo and the children's museum. We had a fun group of kids to hang out with all day (Gretchen, Sophia, Josiah, Ryan and of course the coolest kid in the class, Cole :)

Ben had a random vacation day so Dax and Elise got to play with Daddy all day while Cole and I were on the field trip. Daddy even figured out how to do Ellie's hair :)

The perfect ending to a perfect day-that night was the stake Father Son Campout!

I had a sleepover on the couch with Elise and Dax while Cole and Ben roughed it in the tent :)

I love this cute family of mine and all the fun times we have together!!

Maypril Fools!

Remember how we are having another baby and we said it's a boy? Maypril fools...it's a girl!!

I went to the doctor for my anatomy sonogram and the only missing body part was boy parts because she's really a girl :) I guess we saw the umbilical cord the first ultrasound. Oops ;) We are so excited to be having another girl so we can even things out...except Cole who is in denial and still really wants another brother. I'm sure he will be head over heels for her as soon as he sees her though and will forget he ever wanted a brother. Now it's time to get shopping!!

May Days

We are loving our life that May has brought our way!

We have been soaking up the sunshine, admiring all the pretty flowers, and hitting up all of the parks:

  

We also have been building marble towers, finding Book of Mormon displays at our local library, and just loving spending time together:

Love this cute family of mine!!

Police Patrol

Cole and I got to tour the Washington Police Station with his scout den tonight. It was pretty cool to see the inside and how things work. The boys all loved the part where they got to try on gear and then sit in the police cruiser and turn on the sirens. It was a pretty fun and educational night!

Tessa Time!

Mike and Sierra have been looking for houses this week which means we have gotten to play with Tessa a lot!! We all love this sweet little girl...but Ellie just can't get enough of her :) Can't wait for their family to move here!!

I also had to throw in a couple pics of my cute baby in the perfect weather we have been having...while he is still my baby :)
