CUTE kids!

These are some pictures of my cute kids lately! There is never a dull moment around here!

We went to the Artitorium downtown with some friends! Tickets were on sale for Spring Break!

Sometimes, Reagan will be playing in her gym, and just decide that she is too tired! And sometimes when she falls asleep, she does so holding part of her gym. When she twitches, she wakes herself up. It is actually kind of funny to watch!

Eating adventures! Reagan hasn't figured out the whole eating thing yet . . .

 Right after her nightly bath, Reagan has CURLY hair! I am guessing it will also be curly after puberty!

Sometimes you just need to wear a tutu.

Davis's friend Alvin got chickens at his house. We went and saw them, and Davis loved them!

Davis is obsessed with trains and Thomas!

 Davis loves to help sweep the kitchen. It is one of his favorite activities! I hope it continues to be, especially when he can actually do it!

One of Davis's favorite things to do is to help his sister. He loves to give her things, like his toys (especially his trains, because they are his most prized possession), and his blankets, which rate second only to the trains.

 Reagan's joovy walker. I'm not sure who likes it more--Davis or Reagan.

Look who is getting so big and holding herself up more and more! She will be turning over before we know it!

Davis still loves books! He actually picked this one out from the library himself. Unfortunately, he got so excited about it that he ripped out some pages during naptime. He doesn't get to have books in his bed while he is sleeping any more, which is sometimes quite traumatic.

Those are just some every day happenings at our house! We love these kids!

Chris's FIRST marathon!

He has done two half marathons, and an ultra marathon, but for the first time, Chris finally did an actual marathon! We got a hotel reservation that was basically at the finish line of the marathon, which was nice. The not nice part was that it rained the WHOLE TIME that we were there! Chris finished in 4 hours, 39 minutes, and it was raining for the entire time! However, he has a great attitude and said that he was having tons of fun!

 The day before the race, we went to eat at Union Station, which is near train tracks. Chris took Davis to go see the trains. He did not want to eat. ever. again.

Saying, "Check out the rain!"

As soon as he finished the race and we found him, Chris said, "Well, let's go back to the hotel." It was raining and cold, and he was soaked to the bone. He took a very long, hot shower, and we packed and loaded the car. We asked where we could find a good burger, but we couldn't get to Five Guys because of the race. So, we went to a little Italian restaurant by the hotel. It had a fish tank, which Davis thought was very cool!

I am very proud of Chris for completing the marathon, especially with such a good attitude despite the rain. Way to go!!

Provo Temple

On May 9th, my little brother, Taylor, and his wife, Katie, were sealed to the little boy they adopted from Hong Kong in the LDS Provo temple. It was a great occasion! Our wonderful friends from Orem watched our kids while we attended the temple with our family. The kids had fun, and we had a blast at the temple. We are so grateful for temples, and for the knowledge that we are sealed with our kids for time and all eternity! This experience made it seem a lot more real that we are!

 With all the siblings outside the temple, while Taylor and Katie and their kids were inside getting ready to come out. Oh, how we love these people!

 Grandma and Grandpa Davis came down to Orem to see the whole party!

 Grandma successfully got Reagan to fall asleep!

Playing and eating after the sealing

 Playing with cousins completely wiped Davis out! He fell asleep within minutes of getting in the car!

Reagan at four months

We had a pediatrician appointment today! Why today, you ask? Because Fridays are Daddy's day off, and Daddy and Davis can come with us. I was worried that Davis would get super upset being at the doctor's office, but he did fine, as long as he didn't have to be looked at or take off his clothes!
And the stats are:
Weight--13 pounds 14 ounces, 41 percentile
Height-25 inches, 70 percentile
Head- 16.5 inches, 83 percentile . . . Still big, but not as big as Davis!

At four months, Reagan loves to talk to us! When she wakes up, it is usually not with crying, but with talking! She sometimes sleeps through the night, which is great for Mommy. She is very loved by all of us!

Easter and Conference

This year, Easter and Conference fell on the same weekend, which was awesome! I remembered that last year during Conference weekend, I decided that I was definitely not pregnant, after my grueling IVF treatment. But, thankfully, I was wrong. You might remember the post from last year with the big announcement that we were, indeed, having a baby. And now we have our wonderful miracle baby to prove it!
Because Conference fell on Easter, we decided to dress in our Easter outfits the day before. Here are the best pictures taken with the outfits:

 On the Friday before Easter, we decorated eggs, which was a lot of fun. Mainly, we dyed the eggs, and then Davis decided which stickers needed to go on them. Some he put on himself, and some he directed us to put on.

Yep, that is what they looked like with a toddler in charge!
Saturday morning, we celebrated Easter. The Easter bunny came and gave Davis a couple of trains, which he was SO EXCITED about! The Easter bunny also hid plastic eggs with candy inside all over the house.

We watched Conference at my parents' house. Carter and Whitney and Casey came and visited too. It was a nice, relaxing weekend.

Pictures from Sunday too. Davis is kind of obsessed with trains right now, as you can tell. We brought them to Grandma and Grandpa's, and he was mesmerized during the entire morning session:

Most of all, at this time of year, we are grateful for our Savior and His Atoning sacrifice that makes it so that we can return to live with our Heavenly Father again. We love this video that was put out by the church this year, and how it shows us what a wonderful gift it is!
