Look a Like Meter

I was randomly going through old blog posts and came across this one:

I was curious what it would say about the kids now, compared to then, as to whom they looked like. It looks like we still have a pretty even keel in who looks like whom.

Nevan driving already?

Nevan very carefully handed Daddy his blanket and took the keys and put them in the right spot and everything.

Unpacking

Whilst unpacking, I had to be creative on how to keep the kids preoccupied without them thinking that mommy was doing something much more fun. At one point in time, when I had the camera handy, Nevan started crying and in an effort to get him to stop, he always says "Cheese" for the camera, I took his picture. I later discovered why he had been crying, the bump shows up more on the camera than it had on his head.
This is an outfit my sister gave us for Keileigh, she loves it and it's perfect for our weather right now (by the way, we also discovered she loves the Barbie movies, thanks to the same sister)

Sunday of the Family Gathering and Home again

Once again, no pictures until later, but we did have a great time seeing everyone and getting a chance to visit. We did miss those who weren't there.
At one point in the afternoon/evening, Keileigh found the pretend make-up kit and was having a blast with it. She and her cousin convinced their favorite aunt to paint their toes.
Reading with said aunt




"Roar!" The kids loved getting the dragons from the happy meals.


I don't know what summit or pass this was, but it was weird seeing snow in spring.

Family Gathering in Utah

My camera wasn't out for a lot of the pictures, so I have to depend on my super siblings that had cameras and were taking pictures.

This was at 4 in the morning as we were leaving, they were able to go back to sleep after they were all loaded up, but it was still really early.

Crossing the Salt Flats


We took some time to go look at some bunkbed options for our new place and the kids had a blast at the furniture store.
Keileigh really liked this bed



Naptime was a major after all that driving
The Oquirh Mountain Temple

Teatime?

Where's your eyes?

I asked Nevan if I could take his picture while we were unpacking the toy boxes and he had to show me the "new" train he had found. Then I asked him if we could see his eyes in the picture and he obliged by showing me where they were.

Randomly Cyrus

I've been trying to take a lot of pictures of the kids, but keep getting random shots when the kids agree to take pictures, Cyrus doesn't give his approval, he just stares at me until he starts laughing.

Sinking Feelings

The most popular place for a bath lately seems to be the sink. Nevan will almost always talk Mormor into letting him have a bath while she is doing the dishes and this time the sink was still full of water when Cyrus decided to poop clear around his diaper and get everything else icky.

Nevan's PJ's

He will not stand still for me to get a good picture of these pajamas, but I love the way the three fabrics came together.

Three Months Pictures

Baby Blues (Eyes that is)

So two kids have blue eyes, at least for now. Knut's are slowly starting to change colors from a blue to more of a gray. But Cyrus' eyes are a gorgeous blue right now. In fact, they are such a great blue that everything seems to match them and make them stand out, at least to me.

Major Goings-On

We've had some really big changes in our lives as Nolan has gotten a new job and hence we've had to move and Knut has changed schools. We are now living in a much smaller town with only a branch to attend. We have a two bedroom, two bath apartment with a great view of the mountains and you never know when the phone will ring for Nolan to go take care of something. Two days after we officially moved, we went down south for a family gathering for a baptism and two blessings. It was a lot of fun, but my camera barely every came out, so I'm dependent on other family members for pictures. I'll be posting some stories with their corresponding pictures soon.

Updates

So many things have been happening lately, I have gotten sidetracked so majorly that I haven't even taken pictures off of the camera. I will be getting to it very soon as we get more settled in and I find the time to get to the computer. Until then, enjoy this video taken just a few weeks ago of Knut reading us our story for the day.

Another Great Giveaway

The person who does this blog, Desirae, finds some totally awesome stuff! I would be so excited to get either one of these two things:
Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce

and this one:
Tumble Tubes

The all purpose sauce for us big kids and the tubes for the little ones.

Wee Share: Prima Princessa

I recently stumbled across an awesome blog that reviews great products for kids. Having the four of them can be very difficult to find good products that we can all appreciate. Keieligh has started pretending to be a ballerina, like the one in the "Tin Soldier" on Fantasia 2000. This webpage is doing a great giveaway right now for what looks like a really good dvd, Prima Princessa Ballerina. Check out this blog for yourself and see all the great things to be found:

Keileigh's hair

Trying to do Keileigh's hair everyday can be quite a challenge. She does not like to have it brushed or washed or anything. I have had to become quite inventive in trying to do it. We have discovered that she likes to wear her crown and different hairbows, as long as they match, and then we can do her hair, but they have to match and that makes for quite a lot of hair bows. I do straighten my hair with a flat iron occasionally to help with the frizziness of it and today Keileigh saw me doing it and asked if I could do it to her hair. I've been wondering for a while what it would look like straight and here was the chance to see. She looks so different to us, but she says she likes it. I don't think we'll be doing this everyday, but it makes for an interesting change from our normal frizzy fluffball.
