And let's not forget our March. . .

So, guess who did their hair again? I don't know who is the slower learner, Link, who obviously didn't have a good punishment from last time, or us, who left the hair stuff on the counter where he could reach it again. Either way, he did it again.
We had a hard time keeping a straight face. This one knows he's cute.
 
 I think this one knows she's cute too. She's a very happy baby.

 Here are the little munchkins before church on St. Patrick's Day. We made sure they all had on green!
 And before we knew it, Easter was here. We decorated eggs a few days before the celebration of the Resurrection of our Savior. Clint and I found a ninja decorating kit and knew the kids would love it.
We were right.
 Here's Link with his eggs.
 And then he asked in his sweetest sing-songy voice, "Pretty please, can I play with my ninja eggs?" He does this thing now, where he puts his hands together by his face and tilts his head when he asks for stuff. It's hard to say no when he asks like that.
Here is Corgin with his eggs. He was very proud of his one eyed dragon and his three eyed ninja.
Here is the completed set.
 Then Easter morning came around. The boys had to find their baskets.
 Then we had breakfast, green dutch babies cut in Easter shapes with pink dutch honey.
 Then out to another egg hunt. They did one the day before at our ward party.
 
 I tried to get a picture of them, but the sun was too bright and they were too eager to go in and see what was in their eggs.
 And, for some reason I only got Eisley in her Easter dress, and not the boys in their Easter clothes, but she makes up for it with her big smile.
 After church we went to my parents for Easter dinner and another egg hunt. We still have tons of candy left over. I didn't get any pictures while we were there, but we had a good time.
 
And that, people,
concludes March.

And here's February. . .

We started our month of February by staying inside, out of the cold, and playing. This is one of Link's favorite things to do, play the Innotab.
 He also likes to play in his cape.
 Corgin does too, especially when they have friends over to play with.
 Then in the middle of the month, we took a week vacation and stayed in Driggs with my parents and Jake and Maddie and their kids. Here we are on our way. The boys watched a movie so the drive didn't seem so long.
 This was the bathroom that we had. Corgin asked Clint to put him up there every night when he brushed his teeth.
 We headed to Targhee the first day for skiing. We had my Mom bring Corgin up for a little while to ski with us.
The next day we went into Jackson Hole. My Dad sprung for us all to go on the sleigh ride to see the elk on the refuge. The boys loved riding the bus.
 Here's Eisley and I riding too.
 We bundled up on the sleigh to keep warm. It was a little breezy that day. Here is Corgin, my Mom, Link, and my Dad.
My Mom, Link, Dad, Jake, and little Zoey.
 Corgin looking at the elk.
 Link liked it a lot and was excited to see all the big elk with big antlers.
 Afterward, we had a nice lunch at Mickey D's and then went to the other side of the refuge because Link really wanted to see a sheep. He was lucky because there were lots to see and some were even in the road.
My Dad, Corgin, and Link looking out the window. I don't know if my boys were more excited about the animals, or the fact that we let them be unbuckled and have the window down.
 I love all three of these guys so much!!!
 We took another day to go skiing. Again we had someone bring up Corgin so we could ski some with him. He did so well and I enjoyed skiing with him. We sang songs and chose the paths we would take while riding on the chair lift. I had some grown up fun with him which made me realize just how grown up he is already.
 Eisley girl spent her day at the cabin with Grandma Merri and Auntie Maddie when we were up on the hill. She was always so happy when we got back.
 We had a blast and can't wait to go again! Thanks Mom and Dad for renting the cabin and all the other fun stuff.
 
Here is a few more pictures of Eisley. I think I take too many.


 
Here are a couple videos of Corgin skiing. We took him two years ago, and then once earlier this year to Pebble. It didn't really click with him at Pebble, but we finally got it this first day at Targhee.
This was the second day we went. I thought he improved so much and had a good time playing follow the leader with him. We took turns being the leader, but eventually he wanted to be the leader everytime and even go in the trees and the ungroomed snow.


Here's the rest of our January. . .

Linkoln disappeared for a few minutes one day. When I noticed that he was being quiet, I called out and asked him what he was doing. He responded with, "getting my hair done," so I knew we were in trouble. This is what I found.
 He emptied the whole container on his head
 and his face.
 This is just one thing that happens when a two year old gets too quiet.
 
The kids got another sled ride behind the fourwheeler from Grandpa Dewey.
 My baby is growing up too fast.

 The kids like to sit on the counter and help me make dinner. Sometimes they can be too much help, but I love every minute of it!
 I told Corgin to go get dressed. He thought he was quite the funny guy when he came out dressed like this. See how he's trying not to smile.
I love these little munchins and I'm so glad I can be their mommy. It's always an adventure.

Fun in the...Snow

We've been enjoying the snow. Here are a few pictures of us playing.

All the playing makes us tired.

 Eisley got her ears pierced.
 She was a little sad afterward, but cute!

Corgin's Five!

Corgin celebrated his fifth birthday on New Year's Day. We went out to eat and then went to Outer Limits and played miniature golf. His grandparents were kind enough to tag along. After all that excitement, we went home and opened presents and had cake.
Here he is opening his presents.


 Link got a hug because Corgin loved the ninja turtle he gave him.



 Photo bomb!!

 Time for cake.
 Happy Birthday Corgin!!!
