Parker is 7

At 7 years old Parker weighs 58lbs and is 52" tall.

A couple things about him:

• not so shy any more
• loves art (he is constantly creating, painting, coloring) & is good at it
• great listener
• content to play in his room with his toys for hours
• knows a ton about the gospel
•  When Anthony asks questions about scriptures Parker always knows the answers.
• He is a great kid.  I am so glad he is in my life.

A mustache and Easter

I consider myself lucky to have been married 10 years and this is the first time Anthony has joined the March Mustache crowd and grown a mustache.  Of course since he is in the military he was pretty limited on the style, but as you can see he grows a good 'stache.

The kids all had fun coloring eggs.  Mason did more smashing then coloring but he still enjoyed himself:

The kids all had fun hunting for eggs with friends

Mason was adorable to watch.  He loved the candy.

I love his huge belly.

Saturday

Saturday morning I went to check on the kids and found Mason and Kaitlynn sitting on the couch watching cartoons and sharing some cereal.  It melted my heart, this kid is growing to fast.

Garbage Day

My garbage is so heavy, every garbage day I get a little nervous that the garbage man is going to knock on my door and hand me a bill for the repairs they had to do to the garbage truck.  So far so good.  Anthony challenges the garbage truck every garbage day with loads like this:

He put a full size toilet in the bottom then loaded it to the brim.  Thankfully they make those garbage trucks strong!

Kenzie's Style

Kenzie has a style all her own.  Everyday she gets dressed for school does her hair and puts on her favorite headband.  She wears it everywhere.

Update

These past couple weeks have flown by.  Anthony and I have spent almost every extra second we have fixing up our house.  Lots of work.  Kaitlynn has taken full advantage of Anthony and I being distracted with projects.  She likes to spend her time sneaking snacks, coloring on anything but paper (walls, doors, toys, Mason, and even herself if she feels like it), and making messes with water.  One day she even decided to give herself bangs.

Great Kids

The past 2 weeks Anthony and I have spent every second we can working on the house.  These kids have been so great to play together and keep each other busy so we can work.  I couldn't be more grateful for them in my life.
