Our Trip Summarized!

So, we are home from our trip to Canada!  I haven't written in a while, but we had a really good time.  We were especially happy to be able to be there for the wedding!  I have a lot of pictures to put on, so I will do it that way!

The kids LOVED being able to play outside all the time!  Once it warmed up a bit they went out there a lot and played soccer!  Mason was in heaven!

Uncle Devin had some snuggle time with Owen!  To get owen to cuddle is a bit of a rare thing, so it was cute to see these two!   (he's usually so stiff he won't just melt into you like that!)

Daddy is finally here!  He got to see how much Owen had grown in just two weeks and the kids were sure excited to see their daddy! 

Grandpa is the coolest because he has a motorcycle!  He drove them each around the block!  Brenna loved it!

Mason (who was most excited about the motorcycle)  did not love it!  He cried the whole ride.  I was really surprised!

Jeremy enjoys riding motorcycles, but since he doesn't have his license, he also has to stick to going around the block!  I love riding them too, and even though it was a little cold and I only had on a very light jacket, I rode home with my dad that night after setting up for the wedding!

Aunt Jessica and Brenna are best of friends!

At the wedding!  Brenna got to wear a beautiful Cinderella dress!

Our family at the temple after the wedding!

We had box lunches to eat on the way home, and the chocolate mint was a hit with Mason!

Siblings!

Cutting the cake!

Brenna's long hair!

The box lunches from the wedding... out of the box obviously!  They were delish!

The last day we were there Grandpa started his spring lawn clean up.  It looks like fall in these pictures, but it was a gorgeous spring day.  The kids had so much fun for like an hour getting thrown in the leave piles.  They got covered over their heads as you can seeing the above succession of pictures!  I have like 100 pictures of this, but I'll spare you and just post a few!  

We had so much fun visiting and being with family!  Thanks mom and dad for letting us invade for a while, and we are eagerly looking forward to when you come again to AZ to visit us soon!  We sure love you, and the kids are still asking every day when we're going back to Canada.  After travelling with 3 though I can say that that particular part of visiting is something I am not too excited to do again.  The kids were all pretty good on the flights and drives, but it is still pretty stressful and exhausting to do!

These two have really been bossom buddies lately and I love it.  They are sleeping in the same room now and it has gone pretty well so far.  My kids can be a handful, and they fight and dissobey and I get upset, but I look at them 100 times a day and think how thankful I am for them too and they are so cute!  Sure love family!!!!

Owen's pictures!

My wonderful sister-in-law Aly came and took some pictures of Owen when he was a week or so old.  He is almost 6 weeks now, so he's bigger and chubbier, but still sort of the same!  I love how these turned out, except in some of the ones with me (none that I posted!) I am looking really chubby still!  So I kept those secret and put ones that don't involve my tummy!  But Owen is adorable, and the other kids are too!

A lot of pictures, I know, but I had a hard time narrowing it down even this much!  Thanks so much Aly for taking these pictures of our newest member!  

Owen has been a little challenging lately because he is having a hard time pooping.  He went 3 and a half days without pooping a day or two ago, and now it's been 24 hours or more again.  He gets really really fussy and passes a lot of gas, but rarely poop.  I am struggling with his fussiness, but it's nothing as bad as it could be with colic I don't think!  We are lucky to be surrounded by family right now though and hope we don't overstay our welcome with all the crying!  It's really not that bad, but it does seem so at times!!  

Also, he is a big boy!  He is fitting perfectly into his 3 month clothes and they are none too big at all!  He's chunking up nicely, with an eating schedule of every 2 hours what can one expect?  I sure love my newest little guy!

Easter 2012, from Canada!

Here are a few pictures from our chilly Easter in Canada!  It wasn't actually all that cold, but it was sure a change from our AZ weather!  So I totally spaced getting Owen an easter basket... I'm a horrible Easter bunny and mother!  haha I didn't even think about him having a basket until it was too late to do anything about it!  We do love Owen too though, I promise!  I also don't have any pictures of him from Easter because he was being held or sleeping most of the day and not involved in our activities!  We had a nice day and a fun easter egg hung in the backyard.  My cousins came over for dinner with their little boy Champ and he had a fun time playing with the kids too!

This is easter morning!

Our egg hunt.  It was really fun to watch them look for eggs!  Mason didn't really understand, but we helped him and he made a killing too!

He kept missing his bag with this purple egg (if you look closely you can see it on the grass behind him) and he had a good time re-finding it a few times in a row.

We are posting pictures for daddy because we missed him on Easter so much!  Take care of my husband in AZ for me!  haha sounds like he had a pretty fun easter too!  Happy Easter!
