Easter Egg Hunt!

Emmett's Annual Easter Egg Hunt was the day after we got back from our trip! We bundled up in our rain coat and rubber boots and had a blast! 



We found a football egg...right off the bat...


And we were done... Not more egg hunting for us! Time to play catch...


And hit...



Mason with the Easter Bunny!


Grandpa and Grandma came out to play too! 


Pick a duck at the carnival games inside... Mason jumped in the pool =/


More baseball with Grandpa!


The cake walk...

We had a great time! Even though we didn't do much "egg hunting!" 

Burns...Week Two!

After we got back from Boise we spent some time recuperating from the illness and crazy-ness of the week before! Auntie Shey finally was home and Mason loved hanging out in Auntie Shey's room! 


 "Fake Sleeping" in Auntie Shey's room! 

Exhaustion has set in... Mason NEVER falls asleep outside of his crib, bed or car-seat! 


 We did a little photo-shoot for Mason's birthday invites... Shey dressed up Sayge and Shaylee and took some of them too! 








After an awesome fifteen days we had to say good bye! We were sad to go but ready to get home and see Daddy! Mason misses his Balen Boy and all his Aunties! And Grandpa and Grandma too! Thanks for having us Mom and Dad! Crazy to think our next trip to Burns we will have Miller and will be there for Bostyn's birth! 

Boise...Meeting Baby Marion!

We got to go to Boise and meet my beautiful new niece, Marion Elizabeth Root. She is such a precious baby girl! We just LOVE her! 

 We started with a car-full ready for the road trip! We took all the kiddos to The Lorax and out to Red Robin when we got there! They all did great (even Mason!) 

Then we got to meet sweet baby girl! Isn't she the most beautiful baby?! I got to take some pictures of her and we got so many great ones! 


Kisses for Baby Marion! 

 There's a smile!

 Proud Aunties! 

 Silly Faces! 

 Cousins! We missed Balen...he had to stay home because of his RSV =(


Thanks for having us Skye and Becca! We loved getting snuggle time with your new baby girl! 

Burns...Week One!

We were able to go to Burns for two weeks in March. We had such a great time playing with our cousins! Skye and Becca had Baby Marion on March 13th so Grandma Jana brought the boys back to Burns and we all got to spend ten days at Grandma's House! It was such a fun week...but also VERY exhausting! 

The weather was not overly cooperative so we spent some time playing in Grandma's garage!

 Mason sharing with Roxie =) 





 Yummy Dilly Bars!

 Checking calves with Grandpa (I made Mason stay in the truck!) 

 "Helping" Auntie Sayge with her 4-H steer! 

 Feeding baby calves...

 Poor Balen Boy got RSV while we were there and had to stay in the hospital for oxygen a few days. Poor little guy! It was awful seeing him so sick! We all ended up getting the crude... A house full of sick people was not the ideal break but at least we all recovered fast! 

 Skye started Bryce on a reading program and Auntie Nena did his reading lessons with him! We had a good time! He is such a smart little boy! 

 Mason's favorite thing...Grandpa's reading glasses (always on upside down!)

 We got to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with all our cousins. We made green chocolate chip cookies! 

And Auntie Shery gave ALL the boys much needed haircuts! 


Snow Day!

We didn't get much snow around here this winter...plenty of rain though! We did have one afternoon where it had snowed up in the hills so we took Mas up and played in snow! He LOVED it! Especially throwing snow at mommy... (Thanks for teaching him that Daddy!)!

Growing Boys!

My little Mason Man has officially moved into his bog boy bed! We finished his big boy camo room about a month ago but waited to move until the 1st week of April.


He looks so tiny in that big bed! Can't believe how big he is getting... He is growing into a VERY BUSY but very sweet boy! We love him so much and can't imagine life without him!

So far the adjustment hasn't been too bad...keeping our fingers crossed it stays that way!

Our other growing boy is getting bigger daily... (Or at least I am!) Mason is so cute with Baby Miller. He is always full of kisses for him and usually likes to plant them on Mommy's bare belly (lucky me!) As long as the shirt doesn't come up in public I'm okay with the belly kisses!

I put these in backwards... BUT here is Miller at 28 weeks!
24 weeks!

And 20 weeks...

We are so grateful to have two healthy growing boys!
