Thomas the Tank Engine (Tanked)

So we read in the paper that the Toys r Us store was going to do a Thomas Day, with book readings, coloring pages, trading cards and lots of other fun Thomas stuff. So we told the boys about it all week and got them revved up to go. Saturday morning we rushed over in our conductor attire, to find that they had canceled it due to lack of participation. Luke was distressed. So John pestered all the employees until he found one that talked to a manager and got a hold of some coloring pages and cards. So all in all it turned out to be a fun trip. And now Luke keeps quizzing me on all the names of the train cars, because I guess I am supposed to know all of them just like he does.

Spiderman Splendor

Grandma Larson has made a blanket for all of her grandbabies. Only Luke really isn’t much of a baby anymore, so he got a special Spiderman blankly to snuggle up in. Thanks Grandma!

5 MONTHS MATURE

Ashley is becoming such a little lady. She is 5 months old today!!! She is a roller now, back to front (still trying to figure out stomach to back). She makes me laugh everyday. Every morning when she wakes up, I lean over her pack n play and she gives me a huge smile. She has been sleeping through the night for a couple months now, something my boys didn’t find necessary at this age. She has learned … (Side Note - As I was typing things got a little too calm, so I went to check on Noah, and I couldn’t find him anywhere. Then Luke said he was in my bed. So I looked and didn’t see him at first. Then he burst up from under the covers and growled at me pretending to be a lion. I tell you what, he makes a great hide-n-seek partner, so sly and sneaky.) Anyways, Back to my Ash, she has learned that blowing “raspberries” makes everyone laugh, as does her little belly chuckle, she is a very ticklish little chica. She is really starting to look like Luke, but she still has a Noah smile. She has a tinge of red hair, which is mostly rubbed off in the back (she looks like she is wearing a bald headband haha). All in all, she truly is one of the happiest babies. Then again, what RonJohn kid isn’t. We are so lucky to have her in our lives.

Sorry no pictures this time, (Second Side Note - My camera has decided to take a leave of absence. So if any of you have some good suggestions on a brand or type to invest in, please comment and let me know, thanks.)

Happy 5 monther Asholeena!

Easter Celebration

We had a great Easter holiday. Luke and Noah enjoyed coloring eggs on the Saturday before Easter. Noah of course loved to eat all the eggs and Luke wanted them to all be red (his favorite color).
Joy (my aunt) and I threw an Easter egg hunt together at my moms house. And when I say threw an Easter egg hunt, I mean THREW. Joy had a bazillion eggs and we hid as many as we could and then we just started chucking them on the ground because we were out of hiding places. The kids really enjoyed them. And of course what fun is Easter without confetti eggs, although Noah didn’t really appreciate them. Rachel (my cousin) was getting her revenge on John and smashed an egg on his head, and Noah started crying and then got mad and yelled at her “That’s bad”. He was really concerned for his daddy. If he only knew that his daddy was the one that started the whole confetti fight in the first place.
John was lucky to get the holiday off and we were able to go to church together all dressed up in our new Easter décor. I love Easter. You can feel spring in the air (well for those of us not in Idaho weather you can) and it’s a good time to help us remember our love for the Savior. Happy Easter Everyone!!!
