Tayli's 1st day of Kindergarten

I remember back when Tayli was at the fun terrible two age and thinking to myself,"I cant wait until she goes to kindergarten!" Now that its here I am wishing I never said that!

It was the longest morning for her

Is it time to go yet Dad?

Mom trying to act happy and excited

G and Tay always give these silly fake smiles that make me crazy

Tay and her best little buddy S

This is where I started to feel a little anxiety. But she couldnt have been any more ready or excited.

I had to go sneek a peek once she was in class but it would have probably been in my best interest to not see her doing so well without me- Yep I did start crying.

She was so cute coming off the bus and greeted both me and pig with a huge hug and smile. She had a great day and we celebrated after with pizza and ice cream.

MIA TURNS 1 (a month ago :)

This has been the fastest and craziest year of my life. It is hard to believe that she is already 1. Our little Measle is so much fun. Both her grandma and nana gave her baby dolls for her birthday and when she opened them she gave the biggest wide mouth smile I have ever seen. She smothers her babies with kisses everyday. Mia loved having her own birthday cake and wasnt afraid to dig right in. Mia is such a joy in our lives, I am so glad that my husband let me bribe him with a four wheeler to have a 3rd kid-hahaha. We definitely feel very blessed that she is in our family. She is a pretty affectionate little girl- she loved being in Utah and gave lots of love to her cousins. She loves being toted around by Tay and G. She loves to blow kisses and can now make the kiss noise while she scrunches her cute button nose. Mia loves to eat! If anyone is eating something she wont stop begging until you have shared with her. She just learned how to walk and is very excited about it. Mia is pretty squatty- she is in the 20th percentile for her height(who would have guessed) and weight. We love you Mia girl!

SPRING BREAK

We had an awesome week with K, J, and E Marzo, A, D, and A Nichols, And Mom and Dad Marzo! Thanks for coming to play with us!

Look how tall she is getting
Mia likes to play peeka boo but covers her cheeks instead of her eyes(she also found out how to climb into the kitchen cabinet)
The other day the kids were playing outside and they kept running in the house to find certain things. I wasnt really paying attention to them as I was busy with Mia. Finally they came in and told me that they were practicing for when Uncle Jason comes. I asked what they were practicing and they pulled me outside to show me this.
Last year uncle Jason taught them how to catch chipmunks. They had set a trap with carrots and peanut butter inside a capri sun box. It was so cute as they sat and waited for about an hour for any chipmunk to come(unfortunately they only saw a few birds fly by)

We had a surprise 1/2 hour long visit from Uncle Kris- fun to see him and the kids loved wrestling him.

Look how blue the sky is in the background :) We have definately enjoyed some beautiful warm days lately and yes we believe the bluest skies are here in MV

I know all of you in Utah are jealous of this green grass

This little guy loves to "exercise". He always wants me to watch him while he exercises like his dad does. Unfortunately he is not very graceful and this time he ended up face planting and scratching up his nose and forehead pretty good(Tay did the same thing the next day)

We play pretty hard around here and this is what we get during dinner time.

Museum of Flight

The first Thursday of every month after 5 pm is free to attend the flight museum- we enjoyed it with the kids and especially were grateful that it was free!

Is anyone sick of this stupid music on my blog yet, I really need to change it I know!

Mia has turned into this funny little ham lately. She pulls the cheesiest smile and makes us all laugh. Grayden has taught her how to scream/yell and seems to think thats how she can get her way. She has learned to make the cutest little kiss sounds and waves and says bubye.

She has 6 little chompers and seems to be cutting one more on the bottom.

The kids have really been into drumming lately....especially Gman. Usually he "sneeks" in the cupboard to get some tupperware and then comes to tell me that he was "sneeky" and is going to use them for his drums. One day I was going through clothes to put the small stuff away and when I pulled out the bins to put them in Grayden says" those will be my best drums mom!"

Mia was happy to join the drum fun

Grayden seems to think pretty deep sometimes. The other day we were going to the grocery store which is about 1 mile away and as we are walking out the door he says" oh mom, dont forget the GPS so it can tell us how to find the groceries" he is a funny kid
Tates is begging to go to kindergarten. Whenever we drive pass the elementary school she asks if she can go yet. Tonight I made Tay and G clean up the toy room since all day they had played hard and pulled alllllll the toys out. I came up to check on them and Tayli says " I wish I could be the mom so that I didnt have to clean up the toys and have my kids do all the cleaning and not even help them" hahahaha It took every ounce of me to hold back the laughter as I calmly explained that I wasnt helping this time because I was making dinner, doing laundry, cleaning downstairs and taking care of Mia.
