Behind....

It was a great Mother's Day this year!  I always get spoiled and never lift a finger!  Thanks to my wonderful husband and chicklets.  I don't have many pictures of me and the kids because I'm usually the one behind the camera, but this is one request I demanded.  We had a smiley face and silly face picture.

Alex is a little shy when it comes to silly....

But not my Jakey.....he was born silly!!

I think Charlie's smile was by default.  She really was screaming.

Can't ask for perfection, but I love it anyways!

Alex had spirit week a few weeks ago and I got 3 pictures out of four.  First, crazy hair day. Second, sports day, which by the way GO SUNS!!!  Third was Hawaiin day, picture her in a pretty dress and some flowers around her neck.  Fourth was twin day in which her and her friend Bailey, who happened to have the same shirt, wore together.

Cameron and Jake went to the annual Father's and Son's campout.  Jake's favorite thing to do was to throw things in the fire. I'm guessing that's why mom's aren't invited.

Cameron said he couldn't wait to go to sleep!

He has alot of buddies in our ward, they apparently spent most of their time on these rocks.

Jake and his buddy Jack.

Dirt angel anyone?

Boys will be boys.....

My little Alex graduated from Kindergarten!!!  Where oh where does the time go.  I feel like I was just in the car bawling on my way home from taking her to her first day.  Thank goodness for her AWESOME teacher looping up with her next year.  No worries or stresses when school starts up again! 

They had a little program where the kids sang songs they learned throughout the year.  It was SO cute! 

Alex and Mrs. Connelly

Charlie enjoying the music!

Alex and Bailey are the greatest of friends!  I'm glad that they had eachother this year to fall back on.  Never a fight or quarrel with these two.  Alex is very excited to be in her class again for 1st grade.

Mister Jake had his last day of preschool, they had BLUE frosted cupcakes, can ya tell?  It took a good couple of hours for that stuff to fade away.  His graduation isn't until this coming week, stay tuned for photos.

APRIL

So our computer hasn't been working for awhile, so my posting has been lacking. Here is our month of April in a nut shell.

Cam turned the big 30!! Just the two of us went to The Melting Pot the night before, so Alex and Jake thought it would be fun to take him to a movie the next day on his birthday.  They saw How to Tame a Dragon and loved it!!  They also loved having some one on one with their dad.   

We had a yummy icecream cake with friends.

It was little miss Charlie's 1st birthday on the 26th. We had a huge BBQ the night before with lots of friends and sadly to say I was videoing the whole time and didn't get a single picture.  On Charlie's actual birthday Jake decided we should let Charlie try a hot dog and boy was that a good idea, she loved it!  We went to the park after Alex's school and I once again was videoing her, but I managed to take a couple of pictures of the older kids. 

We went to Red Robin for dinner because we thought she loved the fries, but all she wanted to do was chew on a lemon. Whatever the birthday girl wants right?

She really enjoyed opening her presents!! Jake hardly let her open any because he was just too excited to see what she got.

Her birthday cupcake wasn't a huge hit at the beginning, but once she poked at it.........

then tasted some frosting...........

and a little more frosting..........

she finally just shoved the whole thing in her mouth!!!! Too cute......

Some things Charlie has been doing in her first year......

Give kisses (pretty slobbery kisses)

Points and says "what's that?"

says "d"  (daddy)

LOVES to go and pick Alex up from school

Is a little fish.....sadly to say if she's not in the tub, she's in the toilet

Picky eater

Not much of a giggler but she does smile at everything

Started to walk the day before her birthday and hasn't crawled since

26 in

Binky lover

Is CRAZY over her Sock Monkey

Here are some of the many faces of Chuck.....

She's a huge fan of the outdoors

. 

She found a pen the other day and discovered that she could write all over her legs.  Isn't that  the kind of trouble she's supposed to get into when she's older??

She thought it was pretty darn funny!

Jake has decided that he doesn't "need" naps but then somehow I find him either in the middle of the stairs or other random places like the closet or on the floor in our bedroom.
