APRIL 2013
We have had such a fun month just hanging around the house and playing together! We celebrated Grandma Murdock's 60th Birthday at our house. Aunt Lacey drove in from Arizona just for the party. It was such a great surprise for Grandma! Lacey got to our house early and decorated the whole house and she even made Grandma's favorite cake. We ordered out Olive Garden food, visited, dressed Grandma up and ate cake and ice-cream. It was so fun! Also this month Travis had a preschool field trip to the Tonaquint Park Reserve. It was so fun to see all of the different plants and animals. We had a little picnic there on the grass and the boys loved every minute! I also had my Spring Piano Recital this month. All of my students were in the recital and they did such a great job! I really do love teaching piano and am so grateful to my Aunt Laurey and Uncle Geoff for giving me their piano. It truly has been a blessing for us! Here are all of the fun things we did this month:

April 4th--I love this sweet Ethan boy!

SURPRISE!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA MURDOCK!

The boys thought it was so fun to dress Grandma up for her 60th birthday!

April 8th--Tyler and Travis hanging out with their friend Kolten!

April 16th--For some reason Ethan loves to do this! I guess its his yoga practice????

Travis and Tyler in their new matching Ninjago shirts!

I had to get a picture of this so that I will always remember this...Tyler and Ethan racing around with their walkers on a daily basis!

April 20th--Scott jumping on the trampoline with the boys. Scott really wanted to get the windows cleaned but after several times of the boys asking him to jump, he put his rag and Windex down and headed out the door. When I asked him what he was doing, he said, "I am going outside to jump on the trampoline with the boys cause one day Travis won't ask me to jump on the trampoline with him anymore." I thought it was so sweet. We love our dad. He is such a great example!

April 21st--Playing dress up at home!

Ethan running around the house (in his onsie) with his little walker (although he uses it backwards!)

April 25th--At the Tonaquint Park Reserve with Travis' preschool class. We got to see the cousins there too!

Ethan....What a peanut butter and jelly mess but he sure loved his sandwich!

April 30th--My Spring Piano Recital with all 15 of my students! We had it at a room I rented from the public library. The kids did a great job and I was so proud of them!

 MARCH 2013
Wow! We have had such a fun month and have done so many things! Scott had spring break this month and we got our whole sprinkler system in our backyard. It was quite a lot of work! We really realized  how big our backyard is when we had to buy all those sprinkler heads. Grandpa Clark and Grandpa Murdock were such a great help at putting in the sprinkler system!  Cara, my Mom and Alissa threw a baby shower for me at Cara's house this month also. It was soooo much fun! I had lots of friends from the ward come. It was so nice and I loved every minute of it! We got some darling baby girl clothes. I can't believe that our little baby will be here in just 2 months. We can't wait! And finally....we had our annual Easter Egg Hunt with the cousins in our front yard. It was a blast thanks to Grandma Clark! Alissa and her kids stayed for a few extra days and we hung around St. George and did lots of fun things together. It was so fun to have them stay at our house! Here are our pictures from all of the fun things we did this month:

March 2nd--Travis pushing Ethan around the house in the little shopping cart. Ethan loved it!

March 3rd--Flying our kite in the backyard. It was such a perfect day!

 

March 12th--Scott, Grandpa Clark and Grandpa Murdock doing our sprinkler system! I can't believe this was the only picture I got. It was tons of work and took several days to finish!!

March 13th--Nothing more fun than playing with a box! I love these boys!!

March 14th--We took the boys to the Mall to ride on the little rides. We never do this and they had such a blast!

March 23rd--My baby shower! My sisters and my mom threw me a baby shower for our first little girl! It was so fun! Lots of girls came from my ward and my cousins Melissa and Becky were there too. And how did I forget my sister-in-law Beth? She was taking all the pictures! It was such a fun and special day! Cara served my favorite...lemon creme pie!
