seventeen!

Today we chilled. We didn't go anywhere... except to Gayles but that doesn't really count. AnDee played with Gayles dog...

While Xavi boy ate mud..

And later Bug helped Poppy paint the swing set...

While the little man sat on the dog...

Pep acts all chill and mellow but he is deceptive... After the dog sitting we thought he was playing in the sand box but he was actually climbing the latter. By the time I noticed, he was to the top step. Little sneak... thats what he is.

16... You've had a birthday shout HOORAY!

Thats right, yesterday was the girls birthday. She is 3! 3?! What?! How did this happen?
We kicked the day off with her first ever trip to Seven Peaks. The girl was in heaven. Pep was a little hesitant about the wave pool at first but he warmed up to it quickly and in no time was giggling every time a wave hit him. It was quite the fight to get them to leave but naps were not an option after all the playing.

After nap time we had a little get together with some family and a couple of friends (Dave and Dyl of course.... we don't really have any other friends. But AnDee loves them so it works) We had donuts and milk and opened presents. I simply CAN NOT believe how spoiled this girl is. If you are looking for toys, I threw out a bunch this morning to make room for the new ones so I have some for you. Seriously... Im embarrassed by the amount of toys in our house. 

The boy tried to steal the girls chair...

And was quite upset when he got the boot.

15 Half way?

After Andrew got off work we ran down to Provo to get our Pass of All Passes validated and we convinced him that a stop at The Olive Garden was necessary. After all, we did have a gift card so it wasn't like we were out any money. My kids love to eat out. I am teaching them horrible things.

And as for Pep??? He still loves his puppies.

Memorial Day was awesome. Amazing weather, awesome friends and great food. We played outside all day and then we had a BBQ with some family and friends.
AnDee got to play with her friend Dax... who we rarely see so it was a special treat. Dax and Zane are THE CUTEST boys and SO sweet. I hope that the sweetness will rub off on my kids a little ;)
After dinner we broke out the goats for a few rides!
Pep wasn't overly excited... he was more concerned with eating. His ride was short

This is Dax. Im seriously considering an arranged marriage...

 And Zane... Im pretty sure we made his day with this ride. He was less than pleased when his turn was over.

And of course no holiday would be complete without Dave and Dyl.... and a little game of catch??

We are so lucky to have such awesome friends and family!

I am in no way shape or form a fan of pics at the cemetery. I find it weird and slightly creepy when people make there kids stand behind head stones to pose for a pic. So I have no idea how we ended up with this...

But since AnDee does share this mans name Ill let it go. And in reality, the kids actually did have fun running through the cemetery... So. Strange.

warning

you know when you are so far behind on blogging that you don't want to do any of it because it just seems like too much? Thats me right now. So this is your warning... Im about to post more than my fair share of posts for one day.

Why do we have toy boxes?
Ill tell you why. Its so we can pull all the toys out, throw them on the floor and then sit in the box.

THAT is why we have toy boxes.
