Lately

>> Tuesday, May 8, 2012

We have been trying to spend as much time as possible but April was RAINY!!!! Here are a few pics of us playing at the park. I put Mark's hat on the right way, and then he promptly turns it around or to the side:)
 We have also been building fences to sit in out of Legos:
 And Mark has been sporting his newest pajamas:
 Annie is trying out a booster seat at the table!!! She loves it, the twins get a kick out of it...but I'm not sure if she's quite ready. She just learned (probably from watching her older siblings) to push herself away from the table by putting her feet against it....this has resulted in a few close calls of her almost tipping her chair over! I'm anxious to get rid of our bulky high chair but it's much safer and more comfy for Annie.
 Mark is still the world's MESSIEST eater!!!!!!!!!!
 Annie is OBSESSED with our Robot Rumba!!! She will turn it on and chase it around the house, she isn't afraid of it one bit (there isn't much she is afraid of!)...for the safety of her fingers and the innocent toys that may get sucked up we have had to move that thing into the guest room:)
 She also LOVES BOOKS!!!!!!! Loves them. Especially if there are peek a boo things or music involved!

Our time with Kaufusi...and Meagan:)

>> Monday, May 7, 2012

A few days after arriving home from Easter we were lucky enough to have Mom, Dad, Meagan and Kaufusi come and stay with us!! It was so fun and I'm so glad that I had time to bond with my little Fusi and get him to laugh soooo much!
Mark and Elizabeth painted and used markers to make a WELCOME sign for our visitors:
 Annie and Kaufusi got to ride together at Costco:
 Annie loved playing with the jumper and so did Fusi!!
 They even got to take their first bath together!!!!! They were both so cute. They would stare and smile at each other..sooooo adorable!
 Annie was so busy in the bathtub I don't know how I even got her clean!

 We also went on a couple walks...Elizabeth was not happy about having to actually walk so this is a picture of everyone else and then her in the midst of a tantrum, sorry!
 Meagan even convinced Elizabeth to try some of Annie's prune juice! She tried it, smiled big at her...
 and said 'yummy good'!
 We miss everyone like CRAZY!!! Thanks for all the good times!

Easter Weekend 2012

>> Sunday, May 6, 2012

We tried to get out of town before naps but we couldn't quite get Mark to wait long enough...he fell asleep like this:
 Elizabeth hung in there for awhile coloring:
 They did great once again on the drive, I'm so happy that our kids travel well! Even without a DVD player!! The kids loved this toy at Uncle Matt's house, we LOVED staying with them, thanks again guys for letting us 'take over' your house for the weekend:)
 They also love Comet...although Annie wasn't sure about getting this close to him....
 Mark loved it!
 And Elizabeth loved playing their piano:
 We loved getting to play with Fusi!!!! He's soooooo cute!
 On Saturday we went to the local Easter egg hunt and there were hundreds of kids there, it was craziness!
 We couldn't get any eggs until I said aloud...'I'm sorry you didn't get any eggs', a lady heard me and took one of the eggs out of her daughters basket and dropped it on the ground in front of us!
 The mascot dropped more eggs for us so we ended up with a few more! The kids were not a fan of holding still for this picture!
 They were giving away free cupcakes and this was probably their favorite part!! Mark stuffed half a cupcake in his mouth:
I'm not sure where our picture is of them with the Easter bunny...I'll have to look again for that one. We also got to see a fire truck and ambulance up close. It was a really great time and I'm glad we braved the crowds and went!!
