April Happenings

He's always waiting for 'dada!'

Sadly all of the Toy 'R' Us stores are closing so we took the boys (all three of them) for one last hoorah and to spend the $$ Nolan got from the Easter Bunny. 

Nolan decided on a little squirt gun and mini Star Wars surprise toy (waste of $$ because it ended up not being Darth Vader which means it hasn't been played with haha).

Branson enjoyed the loot for a few seconds before he passed out in the car.

Nolan loves "washing" his brother's hair with bubbles.

My biggest fans at my end of the season hockey tourney in Ogden.

Watching daddy at softball!

Nolan picked this flower, handed it to me, and said, "I love you momma." Melt.my.heart.

Brother hug!

Justin and Preston got free tickets to the Justin Timberlake  concert. We all realized we are officially old because by the time the concert actually started at 9ish we were already tired and ready to go and it was really loud. Yep, must be old.

Jacs (from my hockey team) had a birthday party for her little ones and invited us to come over and play. They had a good time!

I'd say Branson is a fan of the spaghetti at OSF ☺

Nolan has been obsessed with Aladdin lately and he especially likes the Cave of Wonders scene. He asked Justin to draw the cave so Justin quickly scribbled something. When Nolan looked at it he said, "Um...I think you need to watch Aladdin more times." ☺

I've been sneaking him into nursery for the third hour since they just play and Jeanni lets me ☺ He's just SO hard right now. I didn't realize what a blessing it was that Nolan didn't walk until 16 months. We only had 2 months of him being everywhere during church. But B man? Oey. I'm just so tired haha. So...thank heavens for nursery.

Now that is a look of pure joy! BUBBLES!!!

Hanging out with Sara during movie night.

I love that they love to 'read.'

Heading to Jeanni's house, acting like a big boy.

He loves looking at packages, movies, etc. and spelling the words he sees. He's so cute and smart!

There's a super funny picture of my brothers and I when we were small crawling all over my dad while he's trying to sleep. This scene reminded me so much of that old photo that I had to take a new picture.

Our stake primary gets to be in the Days of '47 parade this year. The theme is "Pioneer Foundation: One by One - one by one our ancestors built a foundation for us today. One by one we will build a future for those who follow." Each child is supposed to submit a story of an ancestor that will represent a Salt Lake Temple stone on the float. Nolan's entry was James Eyre.

Nolan is by far my best helper in the kitchen and this Darth Vader apron from Gm Mathews makes him look extra cute while helping ♥

He handed me this fake credit card and said, "save the plans!" referring to the scene from Rogue One. So I took them and ran through the door, hoping Darth Vader wouldn't get the secret Death Star plans ☺

My mom's cousin Kristi invited us to participate in a walk for MS. It was a fun afternoon with family at the park. We had us, Preston and Devin, and one of Dale's daughters.
