5K Race

Yep, I finished the Dam 5k race. (That is the actual name of the race!) Tiffany came with me that cold, windy Saturday morning and ran it too. That girl is amazing and she got third. I am not sure what I placed but I ran it in 34 minutes, which I was pretty proud of. I wanted to run it in 30, but oh well. I couldn't really train like I wanted because of the pregnancy, but I didn't stop and kept going. It was actually alot of fun and I can't wait to start up again next year. I want to go for a half marathon, but we'll see!

Beautiful Sunset

The weather here has been AWFUL for the past few weeks. Add that to chronic nausea and naps that I just can't escape from and I have been feeling a tad bit depressed. But we have great weather coming and I am so excited for that! This particular day had been a bad day, but the sunset ended up being so beautiful. Peyton came in my room and told me to hurry with my camera to take a picture of the sky. Sure enough it was really pretty and it did help put me in a little better mood. We are soooo ready for summer!!

Spring Sing Show

This was the only picture (and it is awful) I got at Peyton's Spring Sing Show. He did a great job and sang all the songs really well. It was really cute watching them sing and do the motions for the songs. Way to go Peyt!

Chickens

Our chickens have been our BEST investment. Not that we are really saving a lot of money by having them, but the kids just LOVE them. We have been putting Riley up in the garage, so that we can let our chickens loose in our yard. They like to eat all the bugs and things. The kids love picking them up and playing with them in the yard. They sure have a blast and it has been good for Peyton and Brynn to have to take care of them. After stake conference a couple of weeks ago, we went to Tyler's parents for lunch and had the Brooklyn and Austin over to play at our house for a little while. So the kids let the chickens loose and would try and catch them. It was a lot of fun.

Brynn's First Dance Performance

Brynn had her first dance performance last week. Her final recital is in May and we have a few more performances until then. She does such a cute job, but refused to smile while she was dancing. She gets so shy when her dad is there watching her, she would not look at us and had a shy look on her face the entire time. But she does such a cute job and loves her dance class!

Brynn's Birthday!

A really grumpy four year old!

Covering her ears while we sang...we must of sounded bad

Didn't want her picture taken...is this a prelude to what I get to look forward to this year? Is my sweet little girl gone for good??

Cincy sent her this backpack with her name on it

Brynn's choice for her birthday dinner was Alex's which is a local Spanish restaurant where the kids LOVE the chips and salsa and the carne asada!

If you notice in the picture above, Landen is copying what Peyton was doing when I took their picture. He is so funny, always wanting to do what his older siblings do. It took a minute to get the straw positioned just right...

Brynn, Brooklyn, Peyton, Shaeley, and Kevin

Brynn's actual birthday was on Saturday. And she was really confused. I think having her party on Monday really threw her off. I kept telling her she was four when she woke up but she told me that she had already opened her presents and had cake and that she wasn't four yet because she had not done neither that day. I guess she thought these were requirements before she could turn a year older. Anyways, she was in a really grumpy mood when she woke up. We had a birthday breakfast of french toast (those are her favorite). We sung Happy Birthday to her, which she kept telling us to stop singing while we were singing to her. And then Landen blew her candle out faster that she could get it blown out and of course she cried. So we had to light another one sans the singing of Happy Birthday. So that is why she is covering her face in her pictures. Later that day we went over to Tyler's parents house and celebrated Brynn and Grandpa's birthday. It was such a nice day and the kids had a lot of fun playing outside. Brynn got a ton of great presents and was so happy. Cincy and Sydney called her and told her Happy Birthday which she loved.Later that night, her primary teachers, the Barger's came over and brought her a cupcake with a butterfly ring in it. They are so good with the little kids, they just love them. It was really sweet of them to come over and make Brynn's day that extra special. So once we got over being grumpy that morning, it was a great day!

Peyton's Baseball Game

I was able to come to Peyton's baseball game and finally watch him play. He did a great job. He can hit the ball really well. He would kind of get bored when the other team wasn't hitting too well. He is really excited that his cousin, Austin is on his team too!

We celebrated Brynn's 4th bday a little early this year. We were going to have a salon party and Char was going to be gone for the weekend, so we had it on Monday. The girls were sooo cute. They just loved it. It was so cute listening to them figure out which nail polish they were going to put on and what lotion they were going to keep. They all looked so pretty with their hair and their nails done. Char and her sister did a great job, and there was less stress for me!
