My 33rd Birthday!

 Fun on the beach of Leesylvania State Park for my birthday.
 So much cheeks to squish!
 Best buds.
 How do you like my new hair?
 Heather sent me a bunch of old pics, so when I offloaded my phone, I figured I'd include them. Here we are at Heather's wedding before we were even engaged.
 Heather after she fell on the furnace grate. Cute little me in the background.
 In a moody.
 I think this was before our All-County Choir concert. Those bangs!
 Katie Fuhriman, Heather, and me in Katie's cheerleading outfits. Double 9! Double 9! Pretty fun pics, Heather!
 Okay, back to the present. My birthday breakfast.
 He still likes me, even though I'm 3 years older than him (for about 3 weeks).
 Delicious and easy French dips for lunch.
 Perfect weather out on the deck.
 Getting ready for some fun at Leesylvania State Park.
 Such beautiful scenery!
 And fun sailboats to look at!
 Danny enjoyed the playground. Aren't they so cute?!
 Beach baby.
 The kids loved the sand!
 Delicious birthday cake.
 Every baby loves a little mirror time.
 Older kids love it too!
 Poor Danny - his sisters smother him in kisses!
 At the ward Easter party, with Alice's friend Kaitlyn.
 The egg roll.
 Older kids had to push the eggs using their mouths.
 Paul and our friend Andrew. Paul lost, but Andrew may have cheated...
 My birthday roses.
 The full cake. Good thing I don't have a Costco membership, or I'd get this way too often!
 Cute Alice in Wonderland dishtowels from Mom Gabe's trip to Florida. I love the theme, and I love new dishtowels!
 Planking contest. Alice is amazing at it. She can hold a plank for a long time!
 Easter baby.
 Happy Easter! (How many pictures do you think it took for me to get them all looking at once?)
Breakfast this morning. These are the days we'll miss when they grow up...but not Charlie spitting apple juice all over the place.

Warm Weather!

 Naked brothers.
 Alice and Charlie on a long walk in the warm weather.
 Danny loved his very first walk!
 Alice's new eye patch is a reusable cover for her glasses. Much cheaper!
 Building with packing peanuts and toothpicks at Grace's gifted night.
 Silly smile.
 Paul's new nerdy shirt from his mom.
 Eating dinner out on the deck. So sunny!
 Paul has mastered the art of grilled chicken legs.
 Danny's first time on the teeter totter.
 Easter baby!
 Four in a cart at Costco.
 Fun gifts from Grandma Terisa's trip to Orlando: Olaf shirt, Sven toy, and astronaut suit!
 She's headed to outer space!
 Cute boy.
 Finally starting to like the bumbo.
 Trying on the baptism dress my sisters and I all wore (minus Sarah). She's smaller that I was, but it's fine.
 Who is that giant kid? And his fine-lookin' daddy?
 Seed packets to start our garden!
 Awesome indoor garden starter kit from Wal-Mart for less than $5 has 72 spots for seeds.
 We started peppers, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, and marigolds. We'll plant them outside on Mother's Day weekend.
 We'll start the lettuce, spinach, and cilantro next month.
Happy gardeners!
