| How does time fly so quickly?! I can't believe my cute baby Bridger is already 6 and definitely not a baby any more! He started the day with a room decorated and a gift from the birthday fairy. He's been asking for a pirate themed birthday, specifically Pirates of the Caribbean, so the birthday fairy gave him a pirate book. He was so excited to see all the decorations and so excited for his day! He chose for breakfast the same thing he chooses every year...chocolate chip pancakes! After breakfast, we got ready for church...the primary program was on Bridger's birthday. He did great! He had a line to say with the whole class and had it memorized very early on. He also had a part to say on his own. His part was "To Follow God's Plan". When he was practicing the part, he kept teasing me saying he was going to say "To Follow God's Direction." I told him not to tease about it because I didn't want him to slip up and say it that way. Sure enough, he gets up to say his part and says "To follow God's Direction...wait, I mean it's actually, To follow God's plan!" So cute and funny! Love my Bridger! After church, we came home visited for a bit, then had dinner...taco soup...Bridger's choice. I loved it because it was easy to make for everyone! After dinner, we moved on to presents. Bridger was definitely spoiled! He got a couple of shirts, a nice jacket, a dart gun, glitter glue, a book, Green Lantern House, Pirates of the Caribbean Legos, Batman coloring book, and a remote control truck. He was pretty excited about everything he got! He also got some very nice gifts in the mail. He got cards from both of Josh's grandmas with money in it. He also got a book, "The Adventures of Awesome Man" (totally cute book), a game called Slamwich, and a superhero card from our sweet and fun friend Gail. He received many phone calls from people wishing him a happy birthday!All our guests...gotta love the buggy eyes pictures, by the way! Everyone that was able to come to his party was: Grams and Gramdpa, Felicia, Greg, Kayley, Trevor, Sheena, JZ, and Ryker. Such a perfect day to celebrate such a great little boy! Sure love my Bridger! Just so I remember, some of the fun things he is into...art, making pictures for people, Batman, Pirates, Garfield, pizza, chicken nuggets, green, blue, red, reading, playing games, loves things to be clean and organized, and he is so witty and humorous...and so much more! We love you Bridger, happy 6th birthday! We are so blessed that you came to our family 6 years ago! |

Bridger-isms and Kenna-isms...
This post was typed a long time ago, and I never posted it. Some of these have been shared on Facebook, but I wanted them on my blog so I can print it all out. I am slowly going to start trying to get better at getting into the world of blogging! Not guaranteeing a ton, but will do what I can. For now, here are some funny things Bridger and Kenna have said...mostly so I remember them!
*One night at dinner, Josh kept teasing Kenna. She was getting very frustrated with him, and finally yelled "Stop it!" Josh loved that so he kept going...she got all serious and mad and said, "If you don't stop I am going to poke your eye!" Not sure where she learned that...Bridger said a kid at the babysitter's says that...so maybe that's where!
*We decided it was about time for Kenna to get a pillow...we went to Walmart and she was very excited to go shopping to get a new pillow. When we picked one out, she wanted to carry it. Josh wanted her to just keep it in the cart, so Kenna began to cry and throw a fit. Josh told her he was going to put it back, which of course upset her even more. When she calmed down, he went back and got the pillow and put it back in the cart...then the whole scenario repeated. Finally, I told Josh to just go look in the sporting goods while Kenna and I got groceries. On our way to get groceries, Kenna took a deep breath, looked at me and said, "Mom, Dad is really pissing me off." I could hardly believe what I heard coming from my 2 year old...I asked her what she said, just to make sure and she repeated it. Awesome, my two year old has a great vocabulary...luckily she hasn't said that since, so I don't think it's a regular in her vocabulary!
*Bridger was outside waiting for the dog to go potty...he got tired of holding the leash and waiting for him to go, so he found a hole where Josh removed a fence post, dropped the leash in and buried it with rocks so the dog couldn't pull away...talk about being resourceful. 4/20/2011
*Kenna was screaming about something, so I told her no screaming. She replied, "I'm not screaming, I'm squawking!!" 5/5/2011
*Josh and Bridger were driving in Josh's truck. They had to stop at a red light. Bridger looks at Josh and said, "Dad, I know who's in charge...Jesus and stop lights!" 5/6/2011
*We ask Kenna every morning what she dreamed about last night...pretty much every morning she says, "I dreamed about cereal" or "I dreamed about snacks." I'm thinking she wakes up hungry...funny girl! 6/1/2011
*We were at the park and Kenna was there with her little friend Claire. While they were playing, there was a little boy there who kept causing problems...hitting other kids, taking things, etc. Kenna apparently had enough of it, so she grabs Claire's hand, starts walking toward the little boy and says to Claire, "Let's be mean to him!" I quickly told her no, she looked annoyed, grabbed Claire's hand again, and says all sassy "Come on Claire" and walked away. Where does she get this little teenage attitude from already?! 6/2/2011
*I told Bridger that he needed to quickly get ready for karate, he looked at me and said, "Hell yes, sir!" Oh my goodness...after explaining to him (and trying to stay serious) that we don't say that, I asked him where he got it from...he said Monsters Vs. Aliens...awesome!
*I was helping Kenna change her clothes after an accident. She looks at me and says, "Yea! I didn't have an accident!" I told her that she did have an accident, so she replied, "Oh, um...yea! Bridger didn't have an accident!!" 6/3/2011
*I finally purchased door knob covers because I was sick of Kenna getting into the bathroom and making a big water mess and sick of her going outside...Kenna was not happy about this. We walked by the bathroom and I asked Kenna if she needed to go potty...she looked at the doorknob cover and replied all offendedly and with attitude "No, I don't need to go." 6/6/2011

Easter Sunday...

Family Easter Party...
Yesterday we also went up to Josh's grandma's house for her annual Easter Party. She puts a lot of work into the party every year! The kids had a blast. It started out with them hunting for lots of goodies outside, from chips to Sunny Delight to M&Ms and more. After that we had a delicious dinner and visited. Following that, the kiddos had to find the gift that she hides around the house for them. She had to start writing down where she hides them because she is so good at it that it sometimes takes us a very long time to find the presents. Bridger got some nice new shorts, Kenna got a cute little pink outfit. After dessert we headed over to Josh's parents house to visit with them. They were spoiled more with clothes, shoes for Kenna and a lemonade jug for Bridger (he's been making a lemonade stand in our basement lately, so this is perfect for him!). We had a nice time visiting with his parents for a few hours and the kids had a blast playing outside in their awesome sandbox! Our children are definitely loved...my mom also sent them a fun Easter package full of all sorts of fun suprises...they think it's pretty sweet to get a package with such fun goodies! When we got home for the night, they got ready for bed, put out their baskets, left some carrots for the Easter bunny, read Here Comes Peter Cottontail, and went to bed excited for Easter morning. Bridger was cute though...before he went to bed, he said, "I'm not as excited for Easter because that means the twins are leaving tomorrow." So cute and sweet.

More to come...
I decided to cut my losses for the time being and skip right to Easter posts. I will still work on updating the things I've missed...hopefully it won't get too confusing. It's just hard to post because I try to do it when the kids are napping or asleep for the night...but then Josh is relaxing playing a game or watching a show so I can't hardly upload photos...kind of frustrating that our internet isn't faster. If I get a chance tonight (I really hope I do) I will put up more pics of Easter festivities...if not, I will get it done tomorrow!!
Hope everyone has had an amazing Easter. I am so very grateful for the Ressurection and the knowledge that we will live with Him one day, well and whole. I am so very thankful for all my blessings, especially for my Savior and his love for me. Happy Easter to all!

Dyeing eggs...
| This was the meltdown...awesome!! |
We did the usual Easter Egg Dyeing...so fun! Whitney and Dani were here with us for the Easter weekend, so they were able to help us color eggs. We dyed 4 dozen eggs...that's a ton, isn't it?! We needed a lot because I had to take a bunch of deviled eggs to Josh's grandma's the following day. The egg dyeing started out great, but about half to two thirds of the way through, Kenna had a total melt down(all because I told her she couldn't have any candy)...so I paused the easter egg dyeing, got her in bed and resumed. I am happy to report that my kids didn't spill any dye...but I did...awesome! It stained a part of my table light pink, but it does seem to be fading fast! Our eggs turned out fabulous! I love Easter!

Nothing but sweet...
This is what I get when I want Kenna to pose cute for a picture...it starts out with her being totally goofy or yelling that she doesn't want to pose, then turns into crying/screaming, then trying to "be sweet"! She sure is a firecracker, but is as cute as can be!
Bridger thought it was hilarious and wanted me to get a picture of him laughing...then he tried to give Kenna a kiss to make it all better! Love my kids!

More posts coming...
I hate that I am soooo behind in blogging! Nothing like Christmas posts up in April, with Easter in a week! I wanted to get it all caught up today, but Josh is watching a show and when I upload pictures, it kicks him out of his show...I guess we don't have enough speed when uploading. The good news though is that I have all the pictures on my external hard drive, off my camera...so when I get a free minute I will just keep working through my posts. I want to have it updated by Easter, so I can put Easter posts up in a timely manner!

Kenna's birthday party...
One of Kenna's loves lately is Elmo...she wants to watch it on the computer all the time. When Elmo's song comes on, she starts singing and bouncing up and down, thus the Elmo themed party. I had a lot of fun making her Elmo cake and think it turned out pretty good (and it wasn't as hard as some cakes I've made for Bridger)...Kenna especially loved it! We had all of our family come over that were able to. We had dinner for everyone...homemade mac and cheese...Kenna's favorite! She got a lot of fun gifts from everyone, including an Elmo doll, Elmo figurines, magnetic dress up dolls, books, clothes and more...she is definitely loved!
