The Zoo

Last week was spring break, so Brian took Friday off so we could have a family day. We decide to take the boys to the zoo. It was fun...a little cold in the morning and a very popular idea but the boys had a blast! Conner loved the capuchin monkeys and the train. Kyler loved the tortoise, the birds, the tiger, the playground and the train. Annie liked the train ride and the animals that were larger and moving a round a lot. I loved the gorilla, we watched him moving things around in his cage searching for more food and eating a tomato, a peach, and celery. We also saw a baby elephant and watched a giraffe stripping bark off a branch. Annie took a nap in the stroller which was nice because it allowed us to stay later and as it got later in the day the zoo was not so busy so we could really take our time and just enjoy looking.

9 Months Old!!

Wow, another month gone...it has gone so fast. Annie is a very sweet, very busy little girl. She loves her brothers and wants to do what they do...which can be frustrating for them sometimes...but they love her. You have to be quick if you go outside or up the stair because Annie will be there with you trying to come too. She has 6 teeth now and will use whatever she finds to pull to a standing position.Annie also loves to dance and play in water. She is so sweet, beautiful and fun. I can't imagine our family without her.

Annie loves water especially her bath!

She will splash and splash and splash until she is out of breath!

I left Annie playing with her brothers and ran to start her bath water...I turned around to go grab her and discovered she had crawled into the bathroom...she crawled right past me and stood up by the bath and watched the water....I had Conner run grab the camera.

On the move, to busy for pictures.

Sweet baby

Fun at the park!

Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter. We had fun coloring eggs on saturday and the boys put themout on saturday night for the Easter Bunny to hide. The boys woke us about 7 on Sunday morning which is pretty early for us, they were so excited. They loved searching for their eggs and baskets. They were super excited to discover the Easter Bunny left them scooters!!

Cookies

The boys love making sugar cookies and so with Easter coming we did some festive cookies. I was also helping with Conner's class party and was in charge of treats, so it worked out well. The boys had a blast!

Easter Sunday Best

With Easter being on Conference weekend we had our Easter program yesterday. Conner went up to sing with the primary for the first time!! We asked him to help Kyler get up there because Kyler really wanted to go and it worked!! I tried to get some pictures after church but Annie was too tired.

Birthday Weekend

We have been sick so It has taken me a little while to get these up but...Here are a few pictures from the 19th and 20th when we went up north to celebrate Guinness' and Brandon's birthdays. Guinness loves dinosaurs so they celebrated at Dinosaur Park in Ogden, the boys had a blast! Then on Sunday we had a Burton family dinner and some cake by yours truly, of course. It was a lot of fun.

I did a small cake just for Guinness. I can't believe he is 3 already!!

And They're Off!!

St Patrick's Day was fun at our home. I was able to go help with Conner's class party and Brian worked from home so that I wouldn't have to worry about juggling a very tired baby ( I know Kyler would have loved it). I had a blast! It was a beautiful day...the second one in a row and the warmest so far this year, it was around 65! We went up to the park and played for a couple hours and then came home and put Annie to sleep. We then played outside and I helped Conner with his riding his bike with no training wheels and he did it!!! He rode and rode....Conner now rides a two wheeler!!! He only needs a little help when he first gets started. He was so excited he ran in and told his Dad! It was so lucky that Brian was working from home and able to see it!! And so as not to be left out Annie decided that she going to be on the move to and started crawling! They grow so fast!

Annie is growing fast too!!

The time is flying by! It seems like just last week she was a tiny little new baby. Annie has five teeth now, she really loves her brothers and eating paper. She is so close to crawling and I thought she'd be there already ( not that I'm complaining). She scoots and rolls everywhere and puts everything in her mouth. She is able to get from lying to sitting all on her own and loves noise. She is loud when she is happy, or sad, or tired or mad...she likes noise. She is a very happy and busy and a lot of fun. She is very sweet too!

Watching and laughing at her brother.

Annie's new grin so cute and it shows off her teeth!

Conner Growing so fast!!

Conner wanted the training wheels off. So Brian worked really hard with him on Saturday. He made some progress, but seems to enjoy falling over.

Warmer Days Ahead!!

Soccer sign up time has come and Conner wanted to try again. When I was signing him up I noticed that Kyler could do it too. So I asked if he wanted to do soccer too!! He was so excited, I took him the next day to get shinguards. He of course had to try them out. So cute!! We also have little snow left and have had some pretty warms days...in the 50's already!! So the boys went out roller skating. It has been nice to be out again.
