Zabriskie's: Overloaded

For Cub scouts we made family flags, this is a rough sketch of ours.


We've had awesome spring weather!




We've all been so sick since the year started. This is exactly how we all feel.

My Dad got a new toy!


Elizabeth has started playing Peek-A-Boo with anything she can get her hands on.



Climbing on Daddy

Jon sent me flowers for my birthday!

Bridget is my big helper.


The boys talking to Grandma through the window


Birthday shoes!!!

Mom driving the lawn mower for the first time!



We moved Elizabeth into the boy's room. It's been an adventure.

Jon and I went to Cold Stone for my short birthday date. We weren't alone :) Yes that's Sally.

New Stick Horse



Grandpa Dave came for a quick visit. Michael loved reading with him.

This is why I don't let Jon do laundry.


Cowboy Up!!!

Soakin the sun.


A ball got stuck in the tree. Mom threw the rake to knock the ball down and got the rake stuck.

So she threw another rake to get it down and got the other one stuck.


Then threw another and got both stuck.

We threw Kyle and he got stuck...

Crazy hair.

Best Buds

Tim loves animals! His favorite is Sally. She's growing accustomed to him :)

We are so blessed to have a dog that tolerates the kids so well. There have been many occasions where I find one of the kids sitting or standing on her, playing train with her tail, or being chased around the yard.

Library Basket

We got a library card, FINALLY!!! Our books kept getting scattered everywhere, so I found a basket downstairs. 

I added a ribbon with a paperclip to put our receipt on. I hope the paperclip idea works, so we can keep track of all the books. 

Provo Tab Temple

We passed the Provo Tabernacle Temple and it's getting so close!!! I'm so excited to see it finished!

St. Patrick's Day

The night before St. Patty's Day we made a leprechaun trap. 

The boys didn't understand what was going on so much.




In the morning Tim found some gold candy and colors of the rainbow.


Tim was really excited about the treats.


We finger painted with water colors.



We drew leprechaun hats and clovers on the boys cheeks 




Elizabeth got cute little dots.

We made rainbows with pipe-cleaners and a strainer.


It was a fun morning not worrying about cleaning and just spending time together.

140314-001 e sneeze


Elizabeth started crawling like crazy this week!!! She is zipping all over the place! Let's just say there's a lot less screaming of frustration when she wanted to get somewhere.

Elizabeth has been trying to stand up all week and today she actually stood by herself for a couple seconds!!!

She's growing up too fast!


Elizabeth had a sneeze stuck.

Hot Dogs on a String

My Mom and Mother-in-Law told me about this idea they saw on Facebook. You put spaghetti noodles through hot dogs and then boil them.
I was going to just do it quick, but the boys looked interested, so I invited them to help me.

Hint: Don't put out as many noodles when you have the kids help or you will have broken noodles all over the kitchen!



The boys were fascinated when they came out of the pot. 



Tim doesn't like spaghetti sauce, so we just put ketchup on it. They loved it!!! I wasn't brave enough to try it, so I just made myself extra noodles, Olive Oil, and Parmesan cheese.
