Easter Egg Hunt

Grandma Bowles always has a big egg hunt at her house and this year it was so nice out the week got to have it out side! There was so many eggs the kids each got a basket full of candy. The front yard was full of eggs and the back yard as well as the woods out back. The squirrels got in to a few of the eggs that Kelly had hidden in the trees the ate right through the eggs to get the candy it was so funny. There was about 12 kids there this year and the still got tones of candy!

Look what I found!

Thea loved going up the ladder to get the eggs. She was so good when her bucket was full she stopped so every one could get some.

Every one getting ready to out and hunt Grandma is telling every one where they get to look for eggs (by age)

Logan's ready to go

Cake

On Logan's Birthday it was also FHE night so we had a family party. Just cake, singing, and some gifts, and lots chocolate frosting. We didn't need this big a cake but I ran out of time to make a one, so we got one from Costco the only good store bought cake:) it was so good, and Logan loved it .

( I don't know why some of the pic wount stay turned the right way)

Daddy held him up so he could sneak some frosting off his cake

This is him saying cheese

"Sneaking" cake

I know this one is really blurry but his smile is so cute

Making a wish! He got one candle out but was having a hard time with the other so Thea took care of it for him.


Looks good

My mom has a toy stroller at her house and Logan loves to play with it so she got him his own stroller. The toy one is the same price as a regular one so she got him a big one. He was just up from a nap so he didn't seem very happy but he loves it he pushes it all over the place with all kinds of baby's a moose, a truck, a blanket, or a shoe. He's so funny! It's also works great for a seat for watching a move now his favorite place to sit.

Happy Easter!!!!

Happy Birthday Logan!!!!!

Today is Logan's 2nd birthday (it's gone by so fast!) we're not doing much today just a family party but next weekend we're doing the big party so lot of pic from that to come. We just love him so much he is a wonderful and funny little boy. He talks so so well and so much. He is almost as big as Donovan, and kind of the bully of the family but is also a really sweetheart when he wants to be. He love love loves book Duck and Goose are his favorites right now and all the scrapbooks he thinks every baby is baby Thea for some reason but it's cute. Logan love to run and move all the time just like his brother and sister, playing with car or motorcycles and the Zoo Zhu pet things he loves them talks to them feeds them buts them to bed it's really sweet he a good Daddy. But his most favorite thing to do is the trampoline if its nice out he's on there "watch me jump" I'm JUMPING!" it's so cute, and if it is raining he is trying to get his coat on and get some one to open the door so he can get out to jump he'll drag you to the door and show you the "jump" then stand there with his big blue eyes saying jump jump please. It's so hard to say no but ....I do because it's raining Thea on the other hand just can't seem to say no to him so she get there coats and sock and takes him out to jump no matter how many time we tell her not jump in in the rain.

Logan we love you!!! Happy 2nd Birthday monster-man!!!

Tea Party with My Kids

Thea hosted a Tea Party today (after having Donovan carry every thing outside for her). Thea, Donovan, Logan Mama and Sparky( the lion). I love how she got Sparky to sit at the table such a amazing little mind she has. We had tea that latter turned in to chocolate milk with cake ice cream pancakes and hot dogs. Perfect Tea party snacks. I just love my kids I love when they use there imaginations and play together. Logan is so funny pretend eating he always says mmm so good. And Donovan had to keep getting up to use his phone it's not nice to talk at the table he told me I don't know where he gets it.

Oh Donvoan!

Donovan loves to get hold of Corey's phone and play some games on it, but he know he's not supposed to be on it so he trys to hide. I find him in the funniest places hiding, hiding under blankets, under his bed in the closest, under the coffee table and in this chair all borrowed down so we can't see him. He cracks me up trying to be unseen so he can play the phone.

Spring is for gardening

The start of our garden this year. We ended up adding another 5 feet to this so we had enough room for everything. This is the garden be for we planted all the seeds. After tilling up the grass we tilled in some plant food. We're going to start planting on Wed I think if the sun comes out like the weather man said but we'll see if not the first sunny day this week. All the kids love to road a-tiller with Daddy!

The boys used the little tiller after got a bigger one

Logan pushed the tiller all over the yard Say like Daddy

Looking for rocks

Thea helping

Pillows

Thea and Donovan have been dyeing to us the sewing machine sense I have been working on some projects. So the other day they got to make pillows for there rooms I don't have many pic because my battery died. Thea working on her pillow. She did so good going slow so she could make a straight line and wanting to re due anything that wasn't straight.

The boys had more fun helping pin things then anything else. After that part they lost all interest.

All Done. and Looking really cute. Thea is going to be sewing up a storm soon if I let her. At 6 I forget that she is still going to have a lot of firsts. But this one was so fun to share something I love with her and watch her learn how, and learn to love it to.

Thea's Room

I made this quilt for Thea about 2 years ago for her birthday. She loved it right away it came out so cute how could you not love it? I have had to patch it 3 different place where it has been caught on things and replace the back be some how it got a huge hole down the middle. I took the whole thing apart reinforced all the seams put the new back on and patched a few places. I wouldn't never have picked the new back but Thea loved it so I went with what she liked and it came out supper cute. I don't' know why this one will not turn the right way but..... Anyway I made the curtains for her and I think they came out really cute.

Her whole room is owls and butterfly's and it is so so cute!

Thea ready for bed in her finished bedroom.

My Book Worm

Logan LOVES reading he almost always has a book with him and if your sitting down your reading him a book or holding him while he reads it to you. He can "read" about 3 books to me or Daddy or him self not reading just memorized them. His Favorites are Duck and Goose books he knows all the pages to the ones he has. He loves Goose the most and has a little goose that he takes places with him. Reading with Daddy is a new favorite thing but Daddy has a hard time not going from the front to back like your supposed to Logan like to read it once that way then what ever page he feels like or backwards or upside down. I love how much he loves books and hope that he doesn't' lose that. Thea and Donovan like to read too just not as much as my monster. Right now I see them reading the scriptures all the time. I love it and Logan reads it to a lot. I love seeing them read the Lords words and look at the art while telling each other about the story that go's with it!!!
