the magical garden

About a month ago a lady in the ward invited us over to pick some flowers in her back yard. So we walked over there and as we kept walking in the back yard it just kept going and going with the most beautiful flowers and Tyler said, "This must be a magical garden it just keeps going." Well a few weeks later the girls and I were sitting around and they really wanted to get out so we went and visited Sster Jones and her magical garden.

Emma wanted to bring her purse with some water for the walk. Reagan was so excited to get to the flowers.



Sister Latta was over there too and she found a lady bug and the girls really enjoyed watching it crawl all over their hands.
We had such a great time and brought home a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

hiking

We decided we better go hiking before the weather got to hot! Emma loved all the flowers on the cactus.

Tyler and Emma started out running!
Then we all had to stop to see the big lizard!
They stood there forever!
Tyler found a big rock to climb and wait for us to catch up.

The rock Tyler found was a bit too big for Reagan to climb so they found Reagan her own rock to climb on and get a picture!

The last break before the top!

We finally made it to the wind Tunnels!

I carried Reagan most of the way down and by the end Emma was on Joe's shoulders. Over all I think they all did pretty good. We just need to hike more often so they get use to it!

The Cone of Shame

Biscuit got fixed and she had to wear the cone of shame for a whole week! She wasn't to happy about it.

Egg hunt

I think the kids got their holidays mixed up they hung all their Easter baskets the night before!

Cousins came over to have dinner and an Easter egg hunt!

Emma
The gang before the big hunt! I am not sure why we took the picture in the room that is still being fixed up!

We had a great day watching conference, enjoying family, and remembering our savior Jesus Christ and the sacrifice He made for us!

Dying eggs

Emily and her kids came over to dye eggs while Joe was at the priesthood session.

Our new addition!

I have been looking on Craig's list for a piano and I found a great deal and close to my house!

Time for piano lessons!!!

Coming soon... Called to serve with 2 hands! I think everyone is getting sick of me practicing the same song over and over.

Baseball season

Well this is Tyler's third year to play but his first year for coach pitch! He started out the season with a bloody nose. A ball hit him before the game even began. I thought it would scare him away from playing but he has not let it affect him at all!

Wrestle Mania

When we go to see the cousins Joe always end up getting everyone all wild and wrestles with them until they get so loud that Lexi and I can't stand it or until someone cries.

They have so much fun!

Reagan's birthday party

We celebrated Reagan's birthday with Joe's family. There are so many kids now my three get so excited when we say we are going to see the cousins.

Birthday time.

All the kids

Reagan wanted cake but what she really wanted was ice cream in ice cream cones!!!

I think all the kids were happy about the cones!

Then she opened the presents

Happy 3rd birthday Reagan!
