Play time at the Park...

Brogun enjoying the sunshine...
My cute kiddo's...
Monkey...

My little dare devil...

All boys love the dirt...

Weeeeeee....
Sienna, Brogun, Drake, and Trevin...

With Utah weather being the way it is, we never know from one day to the next what it will be like. This fall/spring has been particularly bad for that. Nice and warm one day and blizzard the next. So on the days where it is warm we take full advantage of it and head to the park.


Brogun has no fear and loves to climb everything. His favorite is going down the slide with Sienna. And I think she enjoys it just as much. Here are just a few picture's of the kiddos playing.

Home Improvements/Destruction...

Cheeeeese!
Splish Splash...

The mess....

My new red wall....love it!



Being a home owner is wonderful, except when the previous owners did such a lousy job with there so called "Home Improvements".
Last week we noticed that water was running back behind the window in the shower. At first we were not to terribly concerned and thought that if we move the shelf the water should be under and we can reseal and it will be fine. Well, it would have if the window and tub liner would have been sealed in the beginning. We have now completely torn the entire shower liner, dry wall, and insulation out due to water damage. LOVELY!! We were just happy to see that the water had not gone completely down the wall and to the floor which would lead to the basement bathroom. YICKS!!!

So now it is time to start putting it all back together. Derricks family has done lots of tile work in many of the family's houses. So we decided to use our resources and do tile. I think it will be really pretty.

Thankfully we do have a bathroom downstairs with a shower so it has not been so bad. I have been giving Brogun a bath in the kitchen sink and he loves it.

Here are a few pictures and I will update when we are done!

Hoppy Easter...



Most of the Moore grandkids
Loves the suckers

Aunt Marcea helping him pick up candy..
Waiting for Grandma Cindy to say "GO"

We had a wonderful, but chilly Easter. Saturday, Derricks mom, Cindy always has a candy and easter egg hunt for the little ones. Then she has a riddle scavanger hunt for the "older" kids. She loves to hide little plastic eggs in hard small places. She gives us a written clue that leads to the next egg. At the end we have to unscramble letters to find out where she has hidden the candy bags. It is so fun and we always look forward to it.
After we all warmed back up, we had lunch and played a little basketball.
Easter morning the kids woke up to a little easter basket with candy and a new Easter outfit. It was General Conference this year, so we didn't have church and was able to sleep in a bit.
We had lunch at Kevin and Cindy's with all the traditonal Easter feast. And it was delicious. Ham, chicken salad on cresent rolls,deviled eggs, potato salad, coleslaw, veggies and dip. After lunch we went on a beautiful little ride up Monrovian canyon, where we almost got stuck being we were in the car and there is still snow.
We finished the day at my mom and dads with a BBQ with the family. Dad BBQ's the BEST burgers and Grandma Anderson made baked beans and strawberry shortcake. We didn't have lots of people since most of the family was out of state at the time.
It was a beautiful Easter and we are so blessed for all that we have and for the Savior and his sacrifice for us.






Mr. Busy Brogun....

Future KMECO employee..
Telling mommy "NO NO NO"
Gotta try the shoes on..


Dare Devil/ Crash....

My baby Brogun is growing way too fast and is into or on top of everything. People always told me how different little boys are from little girls...and BOY are they right!
Sienna was always the little princess and never really climbed or got into anything. Brogun is a totally different story. I turn my back for just a second and he has the cupboards and drawers empty. Climbing onto the kitchen chairs then onto the table. Or on the end table's, to the couch, and over the back. You would think as many times as he has fallen he would be cautious of it, but so NOT the case. It almost makes him even more determined.
He is saying a few words now and starting to repeat. His favorites are "Ma Ma" (of course! ), "Da Da", Nenna", "Peeze" (please), "some" and "NO NO NO" this one he says while shaking his finger at you.
He loves to play with balls and his car's, especially his car he rides on.
He is such a little monster and such a blessing. Everyday is a new adventure!!

Sienna's School Play.....





Sienna had her first drama play "Peter Pan" a couple of weeks ago. She landed the part of "the Mother". She was so thrilled, although she didn't have lots of speaking parts. She did an amazing job and everyone enjoyed the play. The teacher was not able to get a crocodile costume so they improvised with a turtle swim tube that they put on a students' back.
The kids made all of the back drops and flowers for the play. Many extra hours after school went into it, and it showed. She loved every minute of it, and we can not wait for her to be in another one.
