Spring Break and Easter with the Kramers!

 Charlie after his nap.
I was pretty mad when I went to see why Alice was in the bathroom for so long, and I saw this. She found the mascara I had thrown in the trash, but apparently it wasn't all the way out, so she put it on her eyebrows! I wanted to yell at her, but I couldn't stop laughing, so I took a picture instead. She was pretty relieved!
 Danny and cousin Juliet in a bumbo face-off.
 Chicken and biscuits made from scratch. I feel so 1950's. Delicious!
 Juliet and Danny, born 12 days apart, loved being together!
 Me and my two boys getting all comfy for General Conference. (Notice Austin's projector behind us.)
 Paul and Danny before church last Sunday.
 Cute baby.
 Grace did Paul's hair!
 Tummy time tournament! Juliet: 1 point.
 Danny will not be defeated and has tied it up!
 Head-to-head combat is exhausting.
 Austin and his "friend" at the American History Museum.
 Eliza, Alice, Grace, and Charlie.
 We all loved the subway at the On the Move exhibit.
 Dyeing Easter eggs.
 Alice's favorite Easter gift: 100 new eye patches custom designed by Heather, Austin, Paul, and me.
 As expected, Austin got really into it. Brigham Young.
 Formal dog. Alice liked that one better than the chopper motorcycle or the outline of Florida, but she liked the garden gnome riding on a turtle pretty well:)
 Luke, Charlie, Eliza, Alice, and Grace.
 Brothers-in-law selfie.
 Eliza, me and Danny, Heather and Juliet, Jensen, Katie.
 Grace making Danny laugh.
Strike a pose, Danny!

The Gabrielsen Six

 Danny at his 4-month check-up.
 Wheezy lungs meant we had to do a nebulizer treatment at the doctor's office.
 He finally fell asleep after lots of screaming and crying during the treatment. Then they woke him up with 3 shots:(
 Whitney bought me an eyebrow kit for my birthday. I haven't done any plucking or anything, this is just make-up so that I actually have visible eyebrows. Paul and I are getting used to it.
 Charlie carries his "Ok to wake" clock everywhere he goes. And sometimes he drops it. Paul was able to fix it after this mishap, but now the clock stays on the dresser or the piano.
 Alice helps with the home nebulizer treatments.
 Choosing an apple over fruit snacks with the kids. Maybe "Forks Over Knives" really worked!
 I decorated Alice's eye patch with an eye! The glasses cover patch wasn't working out, and fell apart.
 Taking silly/ugly pics with Paul.


 Cute little Alice.
 Watching the turtle eat at the library.
 Super Danny!
 Surprise! Total kid. Note his clock on the floor in the background. This was before the new rule.
 Awesome fort I built for Alice and Charlie.

 The note Grace wrote me after she saw a book at school about hoaxes that included the First Vision.

 Friends.
 Science experiment with Daddy.

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.
