March 23 - April 11, 2014

Gaven comes home with little stamps from school for good behavior.  He is always asking to use them, so I told him that he and Kamryn could stamp their bellies. They have been having fun stamping themselves, and I've allowed it because nobody ever sees them.  In March, Kamryn showed me one of her "special" stamps.  Oh boy!

After school reading... A full day of school, catching the bus at 6:45am and not getting home until 3:30pm is a long day for a 6-year old!

More ballet

This is how we roll!

Keeping busy at baseball games:

Gaven runs the scoreboard at his brother's baseball games.  It's mighty impressive because even some of the adults can't figure out the system!

Kamryn had been struggling with bedtime.  We made a reward chart, that, once completed, she could invite a friend to go out to lunch with us.  She invited her best friend, Ellery!  Ellery came to ballet with us and then we went to lunch.  She couldn't resist doing some ballet with Kammy!

Sandy Lake Amusement Park (March 22, 2014)

We went to a local amusement park to kick off baseball season for the big boys' team.  The kids had a great time!

Kamryn and her friend Danika

This was a "scare house."  We sent the three boys up to go on it and Braeden and Carsen sent Gaven in FIRST, and ALL BY HIMSELF!  I was a little worried about him, but he did fine.  The little old man that ran the ride was hilarious!  He had this mask that he would hold around the corner as the kids came out of the ride to give them one last little "scare!" 

The best was that as the doors opened and B & C were coming out, B was starting to say, "That wasn't that..." and he didn't get more than that out before I snapped this picture of them squealing like girls!

Backing Up a Bit (Feb 14- Mar 19)

I forget when posting pictures to my blog that I have a phone now that takes decent pictures, so I use it more often.  Here are random cell phone pictures that I took between the middle of February and the middle of March.

Kamryn likes to accessorize! She's carrying her toy cell phone!

Gaven's friend Bella

Yummy Sam's Club hot dogs!

Watching our van going through the car wash

Kamryn and I went on a bike ride to Vitruvian Park.  There were ducks in the pond, and I told her if she sat quietly, they might swim over to her.  They never did, but she tried her best!

Headed to ballet

Playing "Happy Birthday" for someone in our family

There has been a lot of loom band making going on!

 Celebrating their wonderful scout leader Millie (also our adopted Grandma!)

We had some visitors... My friend Jenn and her kiddos came to visit for the weekend.

We might have to get these two together later in life, too!

Neither of them could make it all the way to baseball practice!

Kamryn turned 3 on March 10.  We celebrated with some friends that also had birthdays in March.

Baseball season began in March

This was Kamryn on her actual birthday

The boys got these remote control boats for Christmas and we FINALLY took them to the pool to test them out.  

Jason's tire blew out while he was headed home from work one night at 11pm... ON THE FREEWAY!

...More baseball

Baby wipe mustaches

We went shopping to spend Kamryn's birthday money.  Amazingly enough, the boys were very cooperative!

Braeden's loom polar bear... one of my favorites that they have done!

Kamryn is a very lucky girl to have such great big brothers! They would do anything for her!

Gaven reenacting a Bible story 

Nothing cuter than baseball buns!

Preseason game

I bought some foam to make some shapes and fun stuff for the kids for bathtime... Braeden and Carsen took a shower before Gaven and Kamryn were going to take a bath, and this is what they did so that they younger two would see it when they took their bath!  Too cute! (We call Kammy "Kakers" sometimes)
