Catch up

I've been slacking off and missed a lot that's been going on with us, so here's the last couple of months of the Stones family.

Caleb, Kayden and Elizabeth at the Treehouse Museum in Ogden.

Matt is "lucky" and has his birthday and Father's Day the same week (sometimes the same day). Extra presents!!

Happy 34th Birthday Matt. We love you! You're the best husband and dad ever!!

Matt opening his new Tranformers action figures and finding movie tickets on the back of the box to the new Transformers movie.

My moms school has a fundraising carnival every year. The kids loved the rides and the food. They went down some huge slides that scared them to death- then once the fear was gone, Kayden would cut in line and go again. We had to borrow tickets to pay for the rides he stole.

Matt with his sisters Cassie and Nikki with their mom on Mother's Day. We drove up to Twin Falls to spend the day with Matt's family.

Kayden or Kaytlyn?

So, I leave my two youngest with Aunt Elisa so I can go on the Zoo Field Trip with Caleb. Is this her way of telling me she doesn't want to babysit anymore? Well...Kayden does have good legs and the pigtails look pretty cute. Wait till she sees what I dress her kids in next time I watch them!

Happy 1st Birthday Elizabeth

What's a first birthday without your first piece of chocolate cake? Elizabeth loved the cake and loved making a mess with it. She quickly found out that she could leave hand prints everywhere.

Elizabeth's favorite gift were the animal crackers from her brothers. You wouldn't think a girl who's only in the 3rd percent for her weight would be that excited about food. She liked the pacifier that came with her baby doll more than the doll itself (even though she never took a binky herself, she sure loves other peoples).

At Elizabeth's 1 year check-up she weighed 17 lbs 10 oz (3%). Her height is 29 inches (50%) and her little head finally made it up to 17 1/4 inches putting her at 20%. We love our little petite girl!!

Thanks Aunt Elisa for taking some awesome pictures for Elizabeth's birthday!

Rub A Dub Dub 3 Kids In A Tub

Every morning I have to pull Elizabeth back from trying to dive into the tub when the boys are taking their bath. She wants to join them so much that I finally gave in. She loved it. The boys weren't too thrilled because I wouldn't let them have as much water with her in there. They had fun with her though. I don't think she'll let me go back to the baby tub tomorrow!

Chicken Dancer

Caleb's school had their 30 year anniversary celebration this past Thursday. Each grade performed a song and dance. The Kindergarten class opened the show with the Chicken Dance. There were 5 classes full of 5 and 6 year olds, all wearing white shirts and big chicken hats they made in class. It was hard to keep track of which chicken was Caleb. We just aimed the camcorder in his general direction and hoped we got him. It was so cute! Caleb had so much fun.

Happy Easter

Our family really enjoyed their Easter celebrations this year. Having young kids sure makes the holidays more exciting! As I went to post pictures from Easter, I was disappointed by how few I actually took. I guess I just didn't want to miss the action myself. I never even got a picture of the three kids all dressed up Sunday morning. So, here's what we got!

Caleb and Kayden coloring their Easter Eggs.

So many eggs, so little time...

The Great Grandchildren had an Easter Egg Hunt at Great Grandpa and Grandma Lee's house. The boys wouldn't hold still long enough during the hunt for me to get a good picture.

One of the items in the grandkids Easter baskets was a bottle of bubbles. The bottle was shaped to look like soda pop. Kayden didn't understand "look like" and drank from the bottle. I didn't catch him until he was choking on them. He was blowing bubbles out his mouth for awhile after!
