March Madness

 March is always a little "Mad" in a good way.  The weather warms up, boys start Lacrosse, birthdays, Easter and this year Adyson started dance competitions. We went to the park with the Masuisui's, and had Dr. Seuss night and the Elementary. We had a snow storm which was kind of fun, the kids made a mini snowman on the trampoline. Drake talked Bryon into going to Smith and Edwards and spend his coins he has been collecting on the "penny" candy. He was so proud of himself that he was able to pay for it all by himself. Broc lost both his front teeth, and so did Landon. Drake went on a field trip to the fire station and was so excited to learn all about how to be safe in fires. Adyson has come so far this year in dance and she is so much fun to watch. I love her confidence as she steps on the floor to start her routine and it's always a bonus to have friends to spend these fun moments with, grateful for the Wallace's. A temple date with my eternal companion.  We also had our preschool Easter party AND my Mom, Bryon and I repainted our whole house. A BIG project that needed to be done desperately.  When I look at all that has taken place in the month of March, I feel completely and utterly blessed I would not want life any other way.

 

Drake is the BIG FIVE!

He really was having a good time, just being "Drake". We started Drake's birthday celebrations with glow in the dark bowling as a family.

Grandma and Grandpa Vigil came to celebrate we love them and all their support!!

Drake can now enjoy roller blading with Broc and Ady, just a little practice and he will be unstoppable. He really wanted the "new" hungry hungry hippo game.

Gavin met us for a lunch date and them came over to play!

It's so fun to celebrate birthdays and preschool, Drake has been waiting all year to be able to take his birthday bag home!!

Inside the bag was a mustache. He wanted me to take his picture and send it to Dad cause they were matching!

Drake I am so happy that Heavenly Father sent you to me. I love being your Mom!! You bring so much happiness into our lives.  You are always trying to keep up with the older kids and do what they do. You are super smart and a little bit of a perfectionist. You like to reorganize my bathrooms drawers and arrange things on the refrigerator. I love to listen to you say your prayers and night, you are so sincere and bare your testimony that you know the gospel is true and that you love your family. It is so sweet and I love that your testimony is already beginning at such a young age. You are going to be one amazing son of God with a testimony that will not be shattered.

Some things you love at FIVE: Playing with anyone that will play with you, pretending, movies, guns, swords, friends, being with Dad, hunting, being outside and going to Grandma and Grandpas.  LOVE YOU BIG BOY! 

Look who's 11

This sweet girl is growing up, seriously 11??? I am so happy to be her Mom. She is beautiful on the inside and out. She is so kind and helpful and wants to choose the right. I was able to sneak away in between classes to take her to lunch.  That night Sam and Rienie came over to celebrate. They made a scavenger hunt for her and Drake to find their gifts.

Look how lucky she is... All the brothers to take care of her!

Adyson I love you so much, I love your hard work and dedication.  You always strive to do the best you can at whatever you are working on. You are responsible and such a great sister. I love to go out to eat with you, I love to listen to you talk, I love to shop with you. You are becoming very independent and I love watching you! Some things you love at 11-- selfies, instagram, friends, crafts, rollerblading, dance, piano, music.

LOVE YOU MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER!

Broc is EIGHT

 

We started Broc's celebrations with a friend birthday party to the ice sheet in Ogden, to go ice skating. I didn't know what to expect, there were lots of falls and few bruises and lots of smiles and laughs. They had a GREAT time.

These three cuties get to celebrate their birthday's together every year. I love that Broc has such great cousin friends to grow up with.

On Broc's "birthday" we had Sam and Rienie over for his favorite dinner and cake and ice cream. Grandma Rienie made a super fun scavenger hunt to lead Broc to his gift from them... A NEW BIKE!

His morning celebrations include getting up earlier and opening presents from Mom and Dad.  Adyson traced this cute picture of Landon and Broc as babies and Auston restrung his new Lacrosse stick with some cool new mesh.

Tenille and I took the boys out to lunch in the middle of school!!!

Broc Happy Eighth Birthday my sweet boy! I am so thankful for you everyday.  You are so much fun to be around and so thoughtful of others. I love how hard you work for what you want and what a great brother and friend you are.  You have a righteous desire to make good choices and follow our Saviors example. You are preparing to be baptized and I am proud of the choices you make each day.  At eight you love to: be outside, roller blade, play with friends, eat, watch TV, play with Wheat, play lacrosse and mostly just have fun! Love you sweet boy!
