Brad refinished this dresser to use as our entertainment center
My parents came to visit! I don't think we'd seen Grandpa Sebastian since Jayda was 2 months old! He was so good with the kids. Jayda made him read books to her almost the entire time.
This was a HUGE milestone for Taylor to let Grandpa hold her. It took her awhile to warm up.
Went to Mesa Falls
My momma and me
Jayda: Now I look like Grandpa Sebastian!
My niece Eden turned 8 and got baptized. That's my sister Hayley and her husband Jeff
Grandpa Sebastian got to baptize her!
Taylor and her cousin Avi. It's always fun to compare their sizes because he's older.
Sisters
Kallie and Jayda went to their friend Annie's birthday party. It was a Mary Poppins theme and turned out so adorable!
Annie the Birthday Girl
Guests dressed as tea party guests or chimney sweeps
They played "Pin the tail on the kite"
And lots of other games
They had a real tea party
Happy 4th Birthday Jayda!
Had the family over the Jayda's birthday dessert
I forgot to get a video of Jayda opening her other gifts when her relatives were here but I got this one with just us.
Kallie brought home Mr. Bear from kindergarten. She got him for one day and got to write a journal entry all by herself about her day with him.
She wrote, "Mr. Bear came with me to music class. He also came with my daddy and me to the store."
I walk with my friend Morgan to her daughter's preschool three times a week. The number of kids we have depends on the day because of which kids are in school and which kids she's babysitting along with her own. It's always an adventure!
At the Homecoming parade
(Morgan and I had 9 kids with us this day!)
Taylor watching her sisters in gymnastics class
Grandma brought us apples from her tree and helped us make them into applesauce.
She also brought this awesome stove to get them done faster.
Brad painted the bunk bed white and got it all set up. Taylor REALLY wants to sleep in it with her sisters. She cries every time I bring her back to her own room and crib.
Closing her eyes and pretending to sleep.
Morgan's awesome and generous neighbors let us pick from their plum tree as much as we wanted and we did pick as much as we could possibly handle. They had already picked their fill and there were still tons more after we finished!
This day there was no school or something so we attempted to walk to the park with 3 moms and 11 kids and 1 dog. The experience was about what one would expect.
On our way back almost all the riding toys were being carried by strollers and kids were crying all over the place.
Our kids and the Maughan kids being brainwashed by the mind control device
Trying on Daddy's shoes
Went to see Comedy Improv at Byu-Idaho with Kirby Heyborne, Corbin Allred, Lincoln Hoppe and...some girl I don't know. It was a fun show.
Morgan's sitting next me but didn't get the memo about the pic.

Jayda: My tummy's getting bigger like Taylor's and Daddy's.
