April's everyday happenings

So my sister Tallie gave me all these cute shoes for Cody.  These were my favorite, so I tried to do a mini photo session....

She also gave me this darling cute BYU onesie so I decided to get into the cougar spirit and try again with the photo session....

What do you think?  NOT a BYU fan?

THATS MORE LIKE IT!

I was in charge of a door for Teacher Appreciation this year.  I must say I did not copy this off of pinterest...it came straight out of my own noggin. Turned out cute.

This kid, is good to the bone and avoids contention like the plague.  He's growing up though and struggling to find his voice and boundaries from time to time.  G

I'm about 99% sure these were taken by an amateur photographer known as Collin.

Its Sunday Night game night playing our favorite "Ticket to Ride" game as a family.  Most of the pictures are curtesy of Collin who we have to keep entertained while he's a little under the age limit for the game.

...except for this one, which I took bc he's cute when he gets some highly Quiescently frozen dairy confection.

My beautiful pink blossom tree that I forget the official name for.  One year those pink flowers are going to bloom fully and cover this tree thick before the frost comes and kills them off after only 2 days.

TICKETS! Cordelle and I spent a date night at the dollar store purchasing things the kids could buy with their tickets. Every time jobs are done, they stay in bed, or obey they can earn tickets to be redeemed at the Store on Sunday's.  Yea, probably should've chosen a different day, but its not like they are actually purchasing them and Sunday's the only day we're all home for good.  Always trying something new as a parent to motivate!

This is fun, because it reminds me of how my kids watched movies for a while.  We discovered this show on BYU-TV called Relative Race, which is essentially a lot like The amazing race only people were racing across the nation looking for their ancestors but it was highly entertaining and because it had to be watched through byu-tv we didn't want to figure out how to transfer it to our TV or we were just too lazy to do it, so we for some reason always watched it on this couch with the laptop on a stool.  Haha!  Good memories.
