toilet training...bleh!

My little big boy

I have delayed this long enough.

On the stool,

point and shoot

pull up the undies

Underwear up,

And dismount (don't worry toilet bowl is clean.)

After a long day of about 11 underwear changes...


...the poor boy is all tuckered out.

A few more accidents

Day 3, and we are still working hard to remember "where the pee-pee goes." I love my little bud, and admire him for trying so hard! Good job Jo-Jo!

Picture time

During our Easter Sunday while watching conference, I decided I would get the kids all dressed up and take a hundred million pictures. Here's just a few.

Joseph, my most handsome little guy

My beautiful princess, Isabel

My oldest handsome boy, Maximus.

Here's a few group shots:

Love you guys!!!

Recap?

After moving we wanted to build a room downstairs, and my mom had some jobs to do up here so my parents came to help. First they moved us, then helped clean us, and finally helped us build. Wow they really must love us to offer so much time, and energy in helping us. Take a look at this.

Here's the room coming together

And here's us trying to get a monster fridge in the door:

Thanks for all the help guys, we couldn't have done it with out you.

O.k., so my parents left Friday night, and Reece's parents came to visit Sat. afternoon. What a wonderful visit. The only sad thing was that grandmama' got a little sick while here, and could not go visit great grandma, which I'm sure did not make her very happy. Sorry Mama'. We had lot's of fun while they visited, and were sad when they had to leave.

I'm sad I didn't get many pictures. These will have to do until the next time.
While the blackwell's were visiting we were able to celebrate Easter with them.

Here's our little egg hunt first thing in the morning. Once little Joe figured out there was a treat inside the egg, he stopped hunting for eggs and started opening them all to get the treat out.

Here's the proof of the treat eater

Here's a video of Isabel, and Max trying to find their special surprize

(Notice the snow outside)



Besides these cool kites, the Easter bunny brought us a very cool blueberry bush. Thanks bunny man.

"Dog pile on Dad!"

SMASHED

How about coloring some eggs between conference sessions?

After we did all our fun Easter stuff at home, Tawnya invited us over for a wonderful Easter dinner. After dinner we got to enjoy an egg hunt and pinata. Here's some pictures of our pinata:

O.K. so before the kids hit the pinata it's tradition to spin them around and blindfold them. So Aisake was the first to get spun. Poor guy lost his balance, and fell right into the rose bushes.
Tawnya had to pull him out and sustained injuries to her poor hand. Sorry tawnya.
They wouldn't let me spin the kids after that saying that the blindfold was enough.

After torturing E for a bit (raising and lowering the pinata) she busted the thing wide open.Here's Joe while collecting candy. All he wants to do is eat his candy. "please somebody open it."
Here's the head, busted right off.
What a fun two weeks, and what a perfect Easter Sunday spent with family and friends. Love to all!
