Our Family Maddness: April 2016 - Random Videos and Photos

4-2-2016

General Conference Weekend is interesting with kids. But for Priesthood session, Matt and "the guys (Jared, Nic, David, and Kyle)" try to get together to go to the session and then hangout afterwards. This time Matt wasn't working and was able to attend. We were lucky enough to have the rest of the Elswoods come and hangout at our house. Kids played for hours outside and had fun getting each other wet. We also had pizza and watched Aladdin.

Logan learning to stand on everything he can climb on.

Matt working out during P90x3.

Cuddling with Logan while he eats his bottle. I stopped nursing for good on April 1st. That sure sent my emotions all over the place.

At my moms, for dinner and playing while Matt sleeps before going back to work.

Logan has learned to climb up on the chair by the piano. He likes to play it. He also tries to play in during Relief Society on Sunday if the piano player isn't watching.

Logan usually passes out right after we get home from church. He is so tired and this is his favorite place to eat his bottle in the kitchen. He will even lay down when I ask him to and just stares up at me waiting for his bottle.

A neighbor brought over her son's toys she was getting rid of and Kara thinks this is her pet dinosaur that she has tried to sleep with a couple of times.

Pictures at Bonka's because they are so cute.

Do you think they look alike?

Went out and did errands with Bonka and then we went for a walk along the Jordan River Parkway. I've never been along this section. It was gorgeous and fun to look at.

Logan was tired and fell asleep on the way home.

She had to wear her hat like Daddy.

These two are usually great together and I am so glad they are mine.

Kara's bow that made her. Well, she pretended it was her harp and played Baby Snow White a lullaby before bed.

This is how we eat lunch sometime. Watching the rain or Kara play outside.

Logan and I went shopping for the Kids' Friend Birthday Party the next day.

Matt and I left the kids for 1 1/2 hours with a babysitter for the first time. It was weird to be out running errands without them.

My two spidermen.

We took Kara to the Orthopedic Pediatrician because she keeps complaining about her legs hurting her. It has been months that she has been doing this off and on since September. Well the doctor said everything looked okay, but we should get some blood work done just to make sure it isn't leukemia. Words I didn't want to hear, but okay lets get her blood drawn. Good thing Matt was there since I can't stand needles. We went to Yogurtland afterwards cause she was so brave. The blood work came back normal and the doctor says it is probably growing pains.

Logan trying to wear Kara's play shoes. Love this video.

Cuddles with Logan. Sometimes I don't want to put him down.

First time ever bridling a horse. I usual use a hackamore or have someone else bridle, but I have been riding a lot more, so I have been practicing and getting alot better. Plus no one was around to watch and make me feel nervous.

Swinging at Bonka's house. I love his face in this picture. Pure joy.

We slept over at Bonka's so I could go to Relief Society and Kara could have a sleepover. Next day, we cut her hair again for the 2nd time in her life. Her hair was getting straggly and ugly. So an inch off we took and hoping for it to go back stronger.
