Easter Weekend

This weekend we celebrated Easter! We went to our friends house for an egg hunt, we went to church, we went to my moms for a nice ham dinner and then another dinner at a friends house!

Busy Busy Busy!

 The kids baskets Easter morning!

Before church on Sunday! Colty's First Easter!

Saturday afternoon, we went over to Kim's friend Rebecca's house for an Easter egg hunt!

Mallory had a great time! Colty, well, he didn't really have a clue what was happening! He sure did look cute though for his first Easter!

Dustin, Kim & Colt (Dustin was wet from picking Mals up out of the pool!)

Rebecca Galli & her girls

Aunt Kynan helped Mal look around!

My cute girl!

The kids!

Looking through her eggs!

I held Colt most of the night! He slept great!

Sunday night we went to my mom & dads for a nice dinner. We ate ham, cheesy potatoes, glazed carrots, rolls and salad!

Nonna gave Mals a cute basket! She got some stickers, some toys & candy! Colty got some baby food and a chew toy!

Saying Hi to Papa!

Colty loves this car toy at Nonnas house!

Did a small little egg hunt for Mallory in the front yard!

 We had a great two days!

We had a nice sacrament service and then spent the afternoon visiting with friends and family!

Kynan's Endowments

Aunt Ashlie came to visit from Utah! Yay!

Dustin's sister Kynan took out her endowments this weekend in preparation for his mission to Canada! So glad Ashlie was able to make it for Kynan's special day!

Malllory sure did have a good time playing with Ash!

Mals and Ash played on the swings!

We ate at Dusty Buns! (Of course!)

We ate at Sweet Tomatoes after the Temple on Saturday. It was so nice that Ashlie's In-Laws were able to join us! John rocked Colty to sleep so I could eat! Stephanie & John are so nice!

Mallory traded in Sydne for Ashlie as her new best friend for the weekend! It was hilarious! 

We also ordered North India food one night. We got Asian back rubs, went to the grocery store, and Mallory spent the night and then we met up at Cheesecake Factory for lunch! We also celebrated David's birthday on Sunday at Kim's house. I gave a talk at church on Sunday too on prayer! My parents came. It was nice!

So glad we were able to have such a fun weekend with family!

6 Months Old!

Mr. Colton is 6 Months Old today!!!

He is growing sooo much! Love his little personality and his chunky legs!

Colt is loving to sit up on his own now & play with toys on the ground!

He still gets a little wobbly and falls over on his side but then he continues to play on his stomach! Colty is so easy going like that! (A big change from 3 months ago!)

 Colton has been trying to escape from his bassinet! I've been putting him in the bassinet to play while I do my hair or use the bathroom or whatever and this week, he tried to get out!! He was up on his knees, leaning over the edge! Oh no! I guess I can't leave him in there alone anymore!

 This is Colton's favorite toy! He loves how the flowers light up and sing!

 Colty loves to be naked like his sister! As soon as I take his pants & socks off, he gets all giggly!

 Colty is sitting up in his 6 Month Chalkboard picture! Yay!

(Sister must be included in everything, so she just plopped herself down right next to the board! Silly girl! )

Colton's next physical (and shots :( ) are next week so I will be able to post some better stats but for now I weighed him myself and he is 17 pounds! Yay!

I'm pretty sure its all the food he eats!

Colton loves to eat! He is becoming quite the little grabber! He follows my fork from my plate to my mouth and tries to grab whatever I have! We have been feeding him more and more off our plates. He loves more of the "real" food better than the smashed baby food! He enjoys peas, baked potatoes, and strawberries!

 

Love our boy!

Took Colton to Dr Jones for his shots & physical!   

He is looking great! He is 17 pounds! He is 6 pounds lighter than Mallory! That's hilarious!

He did great with his shots! He barely cried this time and napped when we got home!

Weekend Pictures

On Monday, Kilean and I went to the park with the kids to meet up with Sarah, Becky & Silva to do our Visiting Teaching! The weather was great!

We relaxed at home a lot this week! Colty had a small cold, mostly just a runny nose!

Mallory nursed her baby and set up a "store" for her babys!

We received some "happy mail" from our friend Whitney! Soo sweet! Mals thought it was fun!

We had a picnic outside! Mallory has really been into picnics and "tea partys"! Love her imagination! 

I also worked two afternoons this week and we went to music class! We are so busy but we are having a good time together! Looking forward to Dustin's Friday off this week! Yay!

St Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Love these precious angels!

Miss Mal Pal & Colty Colt look so cute!

Mallory is so funny! She just put her hand on his head!

Colton is so serious but I'll take that any day over crying!

Awe! It's Colts first St. Patrick's Day!
(This was before church!)

We love our shirts from Stitch to my Lu!

Cuddling after church! Love our cute kids!

Mimi Kim's Birthday & Weekend Update!

Dustin went out to town for work on Wednesday night so me & the kids went to Dusty Buns Bistro with Mimi Kim & Papa Dave for dinner!

I went out to dinner with some girl friends from church on Thursday night to Dusty Buns! (again..ha!)

(I also took Mallory to Music Time & I went to work for a bit)

The kids and I cuddled Friday morning in my bed for a little bit!

 Rocked both kids to sleep for their afternoon naps!

SOOOO THANKFUL I am able to manage to get them both to sleep for the same two hours everyday! I may have to rock Mal for a bit but hey, it works!

Love to snuggle these sweet kids!

(Dustin fixed the sprinklers, we went out to lunch, picked up our taxes, got Mimi a birthday gift, played in the backyard with the kids & Dustin picked up gun stuff)

Friday night we went to Todd Beamer park with Nonna & Papa to watch Uncle Brent play Rugby!

While we were there we got snow cones! Yum!

  Saturday, Mallory nursed and rocked her baby to sleep! (Silly girl but so cute)

 Colty practiced sitting up on his own! He's getting better everyday!

 Colton has been eating more "real" food! He seems bored with mushy baby food so we've been trying baby cheetos & vanilla puffs! He loves them! He even whines for more! So funny!

Saturday was also Mimi Kim's 53rd Birthday! The whole family went out to Red Robins for dinner then back to our house to open presents & eat cake! Yum!

Very fun & busy week!

Sunday was St. Patrick's Day! The kids looked super cute in their outfits! I'll write a seperate post about that!

The Weekend

We had a super full, busy, fun-filled weekend!

Thursday night Becca came into town and we went out to Cheesecake Factory for dinner!

It was nice to be without the kids for an hour! I didn't take a picture but Rebecca did! Yay! Missed our other girlfriends!

Then Friday morning, we dyed Easter egg's with Jaclyn, Brixton & Brynley!

The kids did great! They had a good time and didn't make too much of a mess! :)

Went to Me & Eds Conney Island with some of my work friends & their kids!

 Saturday night we went out with Becca, Chad & Tiffany! We went to Laser Tag & out to eat!

Dustin got the highest score! He was super proud of himself! 

Ate dinner at Yard House in Riverpark!

Saturday morning, Mallory and I ran to Judy's for a donut run! Yum!

 Went to church Sunday morning!

Colty and I in the mothers lounge at church! We spend a lot of time together here!! Ha!

Monday night we watched the finale of "The Bachelor"!


 Fun, Fun, Fun weekend!
