What we've been up to!

I can't believe March is almost over with. Where does time go? Here's an update on our family. Over the last month, we have had sick kids, my mom sick and me and Trevor being sick. I'm ready for this month to be over with and everyone well again. Both of our kids were diagnosed with RSV which is always fun. It wasn't bad enough to get hospitalized but we lost alot of sleep during it. Then my mom got pneumonia and had to get hospitalized for it. She ended up having to have surgery to get rid of it. That was great fun. She is finally getting better. Then since we took care of the kids of course we got it. I'm almost over mine but Trevor is still not feeling great. It's not fun being sick but at least we all got to share the fun.

Here's Cassidy finally getting some sleep while she was sick.

Last weekend I was so excited for spring. I thought it was finally here. All day Friday and Saturday we spent outside playing with cousins and watching dad and grandpa fix the sprinklers. Then Monday came and is snowed!! It's not fare I'm ready for spring. I hate cold weather. The kids playing baseball while dad and grandpa are outside. Cass is loving being able to be outside. She is my outdoor child. She would be outside during a snow storm if I let her.

Deegen and Cass playing with their baseball bats. Cassidy tries so hard to be like her big brother.

Cass not too sure what to do with the ball.
It didn't take her long to figure it to.

Dad and grandpa working on the sprinklers. They don't know I took this picture.
Later that afternoon we went up to grandma Varneys to play with all the cousins. We got sick of watching dad.

Yea he did it!! (ok with a little help but that's ok)

I can't believe that was just last weekend. It's snowing right now. How depressing!!!

CHEESE

Cassidy has this new thing of saying cheese when she sees the camera. I'm not sure if her aunt Torie taught her or if she learned it off a backyardians cartoon. Which ever it was, its hilarious!!! But it's hard to take her picture now. Here's a couple of picture I took of her doing this.

Later that night we had pumpkin pie that Trevor made!! Cass just loves the whip cream that you put on the pie and of course dad lets her have just that. She has him wrapped around her little finger!!!

Big Girl Bed

Monday night we put Cassidy in a big girl bed. At first I thought this was a good idea but then 1am came around and she wold not go back to sleep. So finally around 3am we put her in our bed. On Tuesday night we thought we would try it again. She loved going to sleep in it and fell asleep fast but once again 1am came around and she woke up not wanting to go back to sleep in her bed. That time we put her in the swing hoping she would get some sleep. Wrong again she wanted to sleep with us. This went on until Thursday night when we finally thought about putting a pillow in the bed and see if she liked that. It worked!!!! She's back to sleeping though the night again and she's in a big girl bed!!!

I know it has a BYU sticker on it. We borrowed the bed from Torie and Mike said we couldn't take it off. So for now its there until I find something to cover it up without damaging it. Thanks Torie!!

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Want to wish eveyone a Happy Valentines Day!!

Hardware Ranch

The past couple of weeks have been busy and have just flown by. About 2 weeks ago, Trevor and I decided to take the kids Hardware Ranch. We invited Jon and Jone to go up with us. It was pretty cool to see all of the Elk. There were a couple of decent bulls there but mostly cows, spikes and calves. The kids loved it being that close to an Elk. Deegen couldn't believe how big they really are and Cass just wanted to get out of the sleigh and touch them. The guide was saying about half of the herd has moved on about a month ago. There were still alot there. Here's a couple of pictures of the elk hanging out.
