First Haircut

We decided Easter morning that Noah was in need of a haircut. He had long strands of hair all over. I didn't want to cut it because I thought it made him look more like a baby, but we decided that it was time. So after our yummy cinnamon roll breakfast (which is all over his face) Wayne got out the hair clippers.

At first he showed Noah the clippers and how they work.
Then Noah wanted to try.

He did pretty good throughout because he had his new buzz toy. I was sitting in front of him trying to distract him. He didn't really mind until Wayne started using the scissors. He got really nervous when he saw the scissors.

I had to jump in the shower by the end of his haircut so I didn't get an after photo. It turned out really cute though but he doesn't look like my little baby anymore:(

Neighborhood egg hunt

I got to help out a little with our neighborhood Easter egg hunt this year. I pretty much just help set up a little and then manned the 1-4 year olds. This is how the hunt went for our kiddos this year.

Mom gives the go ahead for the little ones to start picking up eggs

Presleigh and Noah just stand there and watch all of the other little ones.

They continue to just watch. When I tried to help Noah go pick some up, he flopped on the ground for a little fit throwing.
Emily, the head of the egg hunt put some eggs into Pres' basket so the kids went home with like 7 out of the 24 eggs that I had put out for them:)

It was kind of funny watching all of the kids hustling to get their eggs, and then our little ones just standing there. I think it was a little overwhelming for them. Maybe next year we'll have a better return on our eggs:)

Easter Traditions

Monday night we decided to make sugar cookies and dye Easter eggs. It was so fun to help the kiddos cut out the cookies. And then watch them try to put frosting on them. Well Noah pretty much just put frosting in his mouth. I love that my kids are able to enjoy things like this now that they are a little older. Presleigh was so good about cutting out the cookies. She would get very proud after each cookie she cut out.

I love to dye Easter eggs:) Noah wasn't very interested in dying the eggs. His attention span only lasted through the cookie part of the night. Presleigh was very good about the eggs. She would bathe the eggs with a spoon, pouring the vinegar water over the egg until it was the color she wanted. We didn't really do anything fancy this year with the eggs. We just made them extra bold, and then I forgot to take a picture of them all done:(

Spring Wreath

Instead of venting about my second terrible experience at an OBGYN office, I decided to put up a picture of my spring wreath that I made last week. It turned out super cute!!! I kindda want to wear it around my neck:)

Viewers beware

Okay so Noah is so funny about when he goes poop. It seems like he will only go in a clean diaper. Usually when I change his diaper I can expect him to do his thing just a few minutes later. Well the other day I wasn't really thinking when I changed his diaper and didn't immediately put a new diaper on him. The kids were playing outside and I was cleaning their bathroom. Not long after I had changed him I heard a scream from Presleigh. She came running in side and told me, "Noah pooped on the floor." Yeah thankfully it was outside so it wasn't a big deal to clean up.

Fun in Utah

We had the opportunity to drive to Utah last weekend. We were able to attend the sealing of the Peterson's to Jacob, and then were able to be there for his baby blessing as well. This sealing was very special and I was so glad that we were able to be there to witness it and to feel the special spirit that was there. We enjoyed visiting with family, and the kids had so much fun playing with their cousins Jacob and Katelyn.

These are a couple pictures from after the sealing over at the Peterson's. We ate yummy cake and pizza. Noah kept finding pieces of half eaten cake and would lick the frosting off of them. Presleigh and Katelyn spent most of their time together upstairs jumping on beds.

We stayed with my sister Julie. And last minute my mom and dad decided to make the trek down to be able to be there for my sister's baby's blessing. Laila was blessed during 1:00 church and Jacob was blessed during 9:00 church, so we were able to go to both. It was so nice to be able to see a little of my family while we were down there too.

My mom helped Presleigh pick some dandylions on the walk home from church. She was passing them out to everyone like they were beautiful flowers, so we put one in her hair.

Here is Jules with her sweet little Laila.

This is Noah, during one of his "freezes." He does this when he gets scared or upset. He just stands there and won't look at you and kind of slumps over. It's pretty funny. Sometimes he does this and then collapses to the floor to throw a fit. That part isn't as funny.

Some other notes from the trip: Noah had Paul and Julie mixed up pretty much the entire time we were staying with them. It was so funny to hear him call julie paul everytime he saw her. The kids were angels in the car. We hit some pretty bad snow on the way to Utah.

It was blizzardy out but luckily it wasn't sticking to the roads. We played Mexican Train a couple times while we were down there. We love that game. Presleigh loved little Laila and asked to hold her a bunch of times. She is also very funny about feeding Laila. One time Jules went upstairs to pump and Presleigh ran upstairs after her. When I asked where she was going she said something like, "I want to watch julie get milk for baby." I love that she is so interested in Laila. I know she is going to be such a big helper with our next little one.

Crafting Again

I actually put this fabric up a while ago but this didn't take any work so I don't count this as crafting. But I did want to show one of the walls in the kids playroom that I have done. I am planning an alphabet wall for the other wall but it's taking me a while to gather all the letters. Here is a pic of Presleigh's Easter dress that I made last week. I still need to do the buttons in the back but it turned out really cute. I used this tutorial.

She wanted me to take her picture:)

I made this map pillow from a tutorial found here

And of course I had to make Noah a Bow Tie to coordinate with Presleigh's Easter dress. These are super simple and so fun to make.

Hopefully there will be more projects to come:)
