Cohen's Birthday and Baptism

In March, Cohen turned 8 years old!  We had a fun time celebrating and spending the day together. Cohen also chose to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! It was such a good day. Cohen is such a good boy and an awesome big brother. We love having Cohen in our family!

 

He got the BB gun he's been wanting! He can't wait to go camping so he can go "hunting"

Our New House

I am very behind in blogging. Life has been crazy busy. In September of last year we decided to sale our house and look for a new one. So we cleaned and de-junked and got our house up for sale. We thought about building but didn't have time because our old house sold in December. A lot faster then we thought it would. We ended up finding this house that was about half way done being built. But because of the snow and cold and the Utah inversion our driveway could not be poured. So we were homeless for 3 weeks. Luckily we have some awesome friends and we were able to stay with them until our home was finished. We have been in our new house for a few weeks now and we are loving it! Here are some pictures of it. The first few are ones we took of it being built.

We also have a basement that I didn't take pictures of cause its not finished so there's not much to see.

My Handsome Boys

My how fast they grow.

Catch up

 I am really behind on my blog so I will play catch up with pictures. March went by super fast and we were pretty busy. Hunter spent a little bit of time in the hospital, Cohen had a birthday, and the girls are just growing and being as cute as ever.

 My poor little man in the hospital.  He started having seizures and has been diagnosed with epilepsy. He is on medication twice a day for it and is now doing fabulous.  There is a good chance he will out grow it and that is what we are hoping for.

 Cohen is now 7! I can't  believe it. He is such a good boy and such a good helper. We love him so much!!

Makaila has recently discovered her toes and loves to suck on them!

Makaila and Daddy playing. Look how tiny she is in that highchair!

And my pretty little Brianna. She pretty much runs the show around here and knows how to get the boys to do whatever she wants.

Makaila at 6 months

 Makaila is now 6 months old. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. She weighs 13 pounds 8 ounces and is 26 inches long. She is still a tiny little thing. She just started wearing 3-6 month clothes and can still wear some 0-3 months. She loves to eat her veggies and mostly just tolerates the fruits. Opposite of all my other kids. She is so happy and such a joy to have in our family. We love her so much.

Randomness

Here are some new pictures of the kids. I haven't been very good at taking pictures lately.

Hunter had crazy hair day at school so we sprayed his hair green.

Brianna likes to sit in the laundry basket while she helps me fold clothes.

Cohen trying to hide from me so he didn't have to have his picture taken.

 

And little Makaila, like her cousin Jag, has discovered her tongue and plays with it constantly.

I have such cute and fun kids!!

Willing helpers

I am trying to learn how to use my camera better. And these two cuties are usually the ones I practice on since the boys are usually in school and aren't really fond of having to sit still while I snap away. Next time is their turn!

Everyday fun

 This is what the kids do while I run on the treadmill. Hunter and Brianna sit on the front of it and watch Yo Gabba Gabba.

And this little cutie sits in her little play thing and watches also.  

Makaila, unlike Brianna, does not like her binky very much. She will take it while she is going to sleep and while ridding in the car, which is nice. But while she is awake and playing she prefers just sucking on her toys or her fist. And a lot of the time she finds her last two fingers.  

It's pretty cute but I hope it doesn't become a habit. So far she doesn't do it to comfort herself, so I guess we will see what happens.
