April

The NCAA tournament is always a highlight for RB. He loves it! The last few years he has also gone in with an office pool for the tournament. This year he actual won. Many games had to work out just right and there were major upsets at the end for this to work out. Good games, and we had fun cheering for teams to win or loss. Here are the standings after the games and his bracket that actually made it so he won.

Spring football game at USU has been fun for RB the last two years. Last year he got pics. of Turban and  Waggner with MJ (I must not have posted it, so here are the pictures of those too). 

This year he took Buddy Boy and his nephew.

Here is RB's parents (aka Captain Aggie) with Coach Wells. 

Captain Aggie with Kerwynn Williams-running back. 

Chuckie Keeton-quarterback. 

JoJo Natson-special teams.

RB had a 4th grade co-worker go to San Diego. While there she went to a store that was bacon everything.  She wanted to get RB something since he is always eating bacon or talking about bacon. She came back with this: chocolate covered maple smoked bacon pop. It smelled like chocolate, tasted kind of like a cream soda, and gave me a belly ache. Not that great! Really cool bottle though that we will definitely keep around.

Lastly, Ms M loves books. Here she is reading in the box that all the books on the floor are supposed to be in. 

Here she is reading to her lamb (lamby) off of Doc McStuffins. 

 Now shove the book in lamby's face.

 And now, shove lamby, in the book.

It's really cute to watch her read to her animals! 

Well that is all for now! Easter is up next!

Old Pictures

I found some old pictures I'm not sure I posted. So if I have sorry.

What do you do on a cold Sunday night? Play Life as a family on the projector. The kids loved it. We had a ton of fun lounging around in bed, taking our turns in Life.

I might be obsessed with sleeping pictures. I love them. The kids are so cute in their different sleeping positions. This one of MJ and Buddy so close. Love it. 

 And then this one. How could I not take a picture of this? I just love it!

Okay, I'm done now. Enjoy and have a great day!

Buddy's Birthday

Well it's official, we have a 3 year old again in the house. Buddy is such a fun person to be around. He talks all the time and uses such fun words. Quite the opposite of his sister who's main word is "gah." Buddy LOVES trains, planes, monster trucks, and playing soccer. He was really excited for his birthday. 

Buddy wanted blue cupcakes and I really thought I would have to use food coloring. However, at the store they had blueberry cake and frosting. It was quite yummy. I love these pictures as Buddy is being very delicate with his frosting and Ms M is just digging in.

Grandma and pa Pedersen came and celebrated with us. It was fun having them there to see Buddy open his blue trains. He got an engine and a caboose. That was the main thing he wanted to get. He also got some monster trucks, a soccer ball, a good bubble machine, and some houses/buildings to go around his train track. 

Overall, I think he had a good birthday!

The next week he had a doctors appointment. He cried all the way there, "I don't want to go to the doctors!" Once there I told him it wouldn't be scary because I would be right there with him the entire time. After taking his weight, they checked his height. When done he looked at me and proclaimed loudly, "that too was scary mom."  Then the doctor came in and this is the conversation that took place:

Dr: Parker did u have a birthday?
Parks: NO!
Dr: u didn't have cake and ice cream?
Parks: NO!
Me: tell him the color of your cupcakes.
Parks: NO!
Me: tell him u had blue cupcakes and u got a blue train.
Parks: mom u don't have to tell him all of that!

It was a hoot. Buddy did show off for the doctor by jumping up and down, and hopping on each foot. Buddy is doing well. He is on the charts this time, yea! He is growing at his small pace like he has from the beginning. His weight is 25.38 lbs: 2%, and his height is 34.6 in:3%. He did get an inhaler for when he runs and starts coughing a ton. He has exercise asthma just like his mom. 

It's great to have Buddy in the family! We love you Buddy Boy!

Lots of Fun Vidoes & One Picture

To begin, MJ's and Lils cousin came to stay with us for two weekends. The girls loved it since this is a cousin they do not see often. Outside one day they made fun ramps with the slides and sleds. Then they would let Buddy's cars fly down them and try to get them to land in the sleds at the end. They loved it!

MJ was so funny when St. Patrick's day came. She loves that the leprechaun changes food green. I didn't do the milk this year as RB hates that. We did have green muffins again though, and he changed their water bottle water green. MJ and Lil were having a great time with it. Buddy was convinced it was mommy though that did it. "Nutt-un, it was mommy not the leprechaun," he would tell them. Funny how the two year old knew who really did it, but the 8 and 6 year old didn't.

Ms M loves laughing. It is fun to entertain her just to hear her laugh!

Buddy loves riding his horse. Now he literally rides it around the house! Too funny!

Ms M found her shadow. Too cute!

Hope you enjoyed! Up next is Buddy's birthday and doctor appointment.
