Happy Easter!

Here's the kids all dressed up in their Easter outfits from Grammy and Boppa.  They looked so cute!  We had a neighborhood Easter Egg hunt Sat. morning, then had early church Sunday and then headed to the park for the afternoon.  It was a nice and relaxing Easter.  Hope you had a great one too!

                                       No idea what he was doing here, but he had fun with the camera!

                                                                     Happy Easter!!

Park time

It was decent weather yesterday so we took the kids to the park.  Some of their true colors are showing here!  

Ma's tongue trick!

                            The flowers and trees think it is getting warmer.  Wish it would stay that way!

                                                          Pres loves this game...

                           And he loves covering Ryan's eyes and telling him where to go.
                                                            Ryan is a good sport about it.

This is what we find Ma doing if we turn around for a minute.

                               This is the view from inside the stroller.  I can't get mad at this.

Our littlest bug is growing!  We started her on rice cereal this week.  Time has flown by.

Lately...

I haven't posted in a little while (due to trying to work on my photo blog, and keeping up with life!) and decided to post a few pics so family and friends far away can see our growing family.

                                                                     Our SASSY girls

Here are our growing bugs.  B. is wearing a dress that used to be mine and that Ma wore also.  Thought I should document that.  Thank you Grandma and Grandpa G. for Ma's cute new dress you brought!  Pres, as any boy, quickly changed out of his Sunday clothes into his beloved sweat pants (Thank you Aunt J. for sending those in that batch of clothes!  They are his favorite!), so I wasn't able to get them all in their Sunday best.  But 2 out of 3 is pretty good! (Sorry for the really bright pics.  I had to get the kids where and when I could :)

                                        This is what B. would rather chew on instead of a bink.

We are all SO READY for Spring around here.  We have decided to grow some herbs this year and are starting most of them with seeds, except for this fast growing basil plant that we got at the store.  There is something about a plant in your house.  I do not have a green thumb, so I don't keep many plants, actually none, until this one!  But, having this by my kitchen window just brings hope of spring and makes me smile a little inside.  Weirdo, I know.  :)

B. is as Sassy and stubborn and wiggly as her big sis.  But, she, just like her sis. can give great smiles and makes it contagious!

My photo blog!

Hi all,

I have been debating on posting my photo blog that I have slowly been working on a little bit.  But, I decided it was time, so check it out: Photos by K.G.
Hope you like it!  Oh, and I just posted some cute shots of Brooklyn, so go look :)

Family Pictures

While in Idaho Falls this last weekend, we "attempted" family pictures.  It was my first time to use a tripod, and to do our own family pictures.  It was interesting to say the least.  It was so cold, and started snowing as soon as we got the kids out of the car to do a whole family picture.  Brooklyn was screaming, so I snapped 2 family pictures, and this is the best one.  Thanks Grandpa G. for lending us your hats so we could have some props.  As I was setting up, I had some fun taking some candid shots of Ryan with his hat!  I love this cowboy!

Brooklyn's 6 wk. pics

Our friend Erin took some great pictures for us of Brooklyn.  B. was her oldest newborn she had done pictures for and she said it was a learning experience.  B. didn't sleep at all except for when we were holding her, she peed a lot and did not want to smile either!  But the pics turned out great!  I especially love the one of her on the black background because it shows her nice chunky belly!  She is my chunkiest baby by far and I love it!  Here are some of the pics.

Life with Baby B.

Life with our new little bug brings lots of cuddles,

And some sneaking into B's blanket to give her some loves when Mom isn't looking,

 And then it just becomes a party (excuse Ma's lack of a shirt... she had just spilled smoothie all over herself!)

                        
                                                Then after a few happy moments....

Then we end up with a lot of this...

                                                                 But we still love her.
