Birthday Girl!!

Makayla turned 6 on the 20th of April. She got the best birthday present ever. Dave came home from Denmark on her birthday for a surprise. He was over there for work and then got stranded because of the volcano that erupted. He was going to miss her birthday, but then at the last minute they found a flight in Norway that they could get on, so he made it home in the middle of the night before her birthday. When she woke up on her birthday she had her daddy home!! She said it was the best birthday present ever. She loves her dad so much!! We did have a family party without him though. Sad, but she had a lot of fun. The kids played outside and we opened presents and ate Rainbow Cake. She loved all the attention and loved having all her cousins there.

We ArE hAvInG a BOY!!!!

Baby #5 is on it's way and it's a boy. Saying that we are excited is an understatement!! Not that we don't love our girls and we would love to have more girls, but we were so hoping that we would have another boy. Seth has seriously been praying since after Makayla was born that he would have a little brother. And when we found out Bryn and Tay were girls he cried because they were girls, but was happy to have another sister. He was so sweet. This time around from the very beginning Makayla kept saying " I just know it's a boy, I just know it!!" When we told them yesterday they were jumping all over the house and ecstatic. Makayla said "I knew it!!" Seth said, "This is the first time I haven't had to cry!" Brynley said, "Can we call him Buddy?" So cute. I have been pretty sick with this one. That would be the reason for the lack of posts. This week I am 20 weeks along and am actually feeling better. Halfway done. Time flies! August will be here before I know it. I finally feel like blogging a little and have posted a lot of what we have been up to for the month of March. January and February have been survival months for me. I have been doing the regular stuff to make it through each day and nothing much else. We have had a lot of lazy days and weekends filled with family time. Dave has been wonderful with helping out with so much. He is so great with cleaning and taking care of the kids. I am excited that spring is here and that I am feeling better!!

It's Great to be 8

Seth got baptized this last weekend. I seriously can't believe that I have an 8 year old. Crazy! It was a beautiful day filled with the spirit and lots of family and friends. Seth was very excited for the day and Makayla was his little cheerleader the whole time. She was so excited for him and wanted to be a part of everything. Seth asked Makayla and Brynley to sing I am a Child of God at his baptism. They did such a cute job. We had everyone over for lunch afterwards and it was so nice to sit and visit with everyone. It turned out to be a great day!!

First Day of Spring

Every year on the first day of Spring the Roberts side of the family gets together and has an Egg Hunt and eats a spring lunch. The kids love the Egg Hunt and have so much fun running around finding eggs. We always have a great lunch and love being together talking.

Cub Scouts

Seth started scouts this month. He is SO excited. Dave is too! ( I can't tell if Dave is more excited or Seth sometimes) Seth completed his Bobcat in one afternoon and will be a Wolf in about another month. He asks me on an almost daily basis what he can pass off today for scouts. Dave has him earning belt loops and pins and is doing lots of scouting with him too. It is fun to watch my 2 boys doing so many things together that they both love. Seth looks so cute in his scout uniform. He has his first pack meeting this week and will be receiving his Bobcat award, 2 belt loops and 1 or 2 beads. I am so proud of Seth for already working so hard. Hopefully he keeps it up. :)

Birthday Bliss

The month of March brings birthdays for Seth on the 15th and Dave on the 23rd. Seth turned 8 and Dave turned 32. Wow! Seth had a swimming party with some friends and a cousin on a very snowy day. The kids thought it was fun to go swimming when it was snowing very hard outside. Seth requested a turtle cake, so I made him a turtle cupcake cake. It was fun. We had combined parties for Seth and Dave with the families. On Dave's actual birthday by his request I made him a Mandarin Orange cake and we celebrated with the kids at home. We love parties!

. . . . something fun . . . . .

Dave and the kids went sledding the other day and then they made a whole family of snowmen. I think they are so cute. We love living across the street from a school that has a great sledding hill for the kids. The mountains in the background are gorgeous. I still need to post some pics from the holidays. I'll get caught up sometime later this week. The kids are back in school and I can get back to my routine.

Play date with tupperware

This is Taylor's favorite place to play. It also happens to be my tupperware cupboard. I have stopped cleaning it and organizing until she gets over her fascination with pulling everything out, throwing it all over the floor and then climbing inside. She does this whenever I am in the kitchen cooking, cleaning, doing projects etc. So, she does this over and over all day long. It makes her so happy. So, for now I take 10 minutes to find a matching container and lid and let her have her fun. Gotta love this age.
