Story Time

Briley loves to go to story time. We go to the library here in Mapleton. There are about 10-15 kids that go every week. It is twice a week which is great because it gets us out of the house and it has been really good for Briley to learn to get along with others, hold still, and they always have an activity afterwards. Today for Story Time they did watercolors. It is the second time it has been done. I think it is great because I would have never let Briley mess with these until she was older but it is great fun for her. This is the picture she did today. I only put her name on it and the date. She did everything else. Notice the yellow heart!

Easter outfits

Easter was a lot of fun this year with Briley. Now that she is getting older and starting to understand holidays a little more it is that much more fun. Easter for her is associated with easter eggs. She got to go on a couple different easter egg hunts this year. We tried to explain the true meaning of easter but it isn't as interesting as easter eggs. Maybe next year we will have more luck. Here are the my two munchkins in their easter outfits.

Easter Egg Hunt

Last Saturday we had the Woodworth Easter Egg Hunt. It was fun as always. Here are just a few pictures of the excitement.

Thank you so much Grandpa and Grandma Woodworth for such a great Easter Egg Hunt! It is always so much fun!

WE LOVE YOU!

SPRING FEVER

On Monday when the weather was so nice I took the kids outside to play. Briley loved it, she was able to ride her bike around the driveway. It was so nice to have a taste of Spring. Parker liked the nice weather too.


Parker is getting so big. He was weighed last friday at the doctors office and he came in at 18lbs 6oz. Being sick didn't slow him down any. But because he is getting to be a big boy now he is getting tired of his swing so we got out the SAUCER. He actually likes it. He turned himself all the way around once and tried eating the elephant. It doesn't keep him occupied for too long but usually long enough to get at least one thing done. Better than nothing I guess. He is also starting to eat rice cereal. I know that it seems early to start but he is ready. He is working that tongue and smacking his lips when ever he sees food go by.

As for Briley she is cute as ever. She is going through those terrible two's still. She goes through phases. She can get really mean, yet so fun and sweet and cute. She is such a girly girl too. She loves wearing her dresses and having her fingernails and toenails painted. But she hates to have her hair done. I try to do her hair everyday so she will get used to it. She saw me use my strait iron on my hair and wanted me to use it on hers so I did. I curled it some and she actually held still for me to do it. Now occasionally she will ask me to do it to her hair again. Then she will look in the mirror and say "it is so butiful."

Yucky colds...

The past few days we have all been sick. On Friday night I was in the ER with Parker because he woke up with a cough and was not right. He was treated with a steroid for Croop. On Monday Briley and Parker were at the doctors office due to coughs and a fever. Briley left with instructions to take tylenol and Parker was diagnosed with RSV. So we have been doing breathing treatments with Parker 4 times a day. I must tell you all that the first couple days and nights sleep was not possible, between the two kids it did not happen. But things have gotten better. Today we went back to the doctor and they are both on antibiotics with the hope that this will help cure it. Parker's RSV is not too serious I think we caught it early. In spite of the coughing and neediness they are both still really happy. Andrew and I are trying to avoid the sickness as much as possible. Luckily we have just had sore throats for a couple days but I don't think it's anything serious. Besides that we are doing good. We had some friends from California come out to Utah and it was so good to spend some time with them. Thanks Tyler and Erin for making time to hang out, your girls are getting cuter and cuter.

So we all know that potty training is not easy. I have been told that one day they will make up their minds and it will be so easy. I am still waiting for that to happen. I am waiting for that magical moment. Patiently as I can. We still try to encourage it though. Here is the latest attempt of encouragement....

What a great place for the panties don't ya think? Needless to say we are still working at it.

And I had to throw in a picture of Parker. I asked Andrew to bring up a basket for me but of course Briley had to go help him and he was holding Parker at the time. Here is the best way to get back up stairs with all three things. Briley was being such a big helper as you can see. And Parker was just kicked back smiling.
