Uncle B.J. aka "All-Star"

Just a small update from B.J.'s week here. The kids are in Heaven. Really! It is the sweetest thing ever. They are so excited to be with him and so happy all the time. They were watching cartoons together all piled up on the couch.

Learning how to play b-ball.

I knew Jax would be thrilled that B.J. was here, but I was surprised at how excited Sunny is. She can't get enough of him. Every night she has been snuggling with him and crawling all over him. (And sharing her coughs and sneezes --yuck)

Uncle B.J. is Coming TODAY!!!

Yea, it is finally here. The kids have been counting down forever, and now his plane is 2 hours delayed. But, he is coming and that is all that matters. So, here is my funny story for the day:

We told the kids that after Primary we would meet them by the blue chairs in the foyer. I told Jackson to pick up Sunny from her class and then me and Daddy would come. After that we would take them to Mimi and Bear's and they would all go to the airport to get B.J.

So, after church Ryan goes out to the foyer to wait for the kids and they are already there. Sitting and holding hands. The problem is that none of the other Primary kids were out of class yet. Ryan asked them what they were doing and they said they had been waiting a long time b/c I said to meet them their. Apparently after the first hour of Primary Jax went and picked up Sunny and they sat there waiting by the blue chairs for the whole next hour! A couple of adults saw them and asked what they were doing. The kids said they were waiting for me and Ryan, and because they were behaving so well and waiting so quietly everyone thought they were right and they were supposed to be there.

Note to self: Explain how long Primary lasts, and that we do not leave class early and pick up our sister because we are so excited to go to the airport to get Uncle B.J.

I love my kids. They definitely keep us laughing all the time!

Easter Pictures

The theory behind all the pictures is that with this many we are bound to get at least one good picture of each person. Too bad we couldn't get one decent picture of all of us. Oh well, this is the best I could do today. Lila and Jax were NOT cooperative. I wish they would have been. Mok sent the kids their Easter clothes and they were all so cute today.

Lila wouldn't hold still for a picture today. We are trying to hold her down, or chasing her in every picture.

Not good!

She was so mad.

Crying, but a good shot of her dress.

Still mad.

"Let go of me"

The best I could do of all three.

Seriously, the theme of this year's pictures is "Try to get Mom to take 100 pictures and do something to ruin each one." It'll be a funny memory at least :)

"Dialing" Easter Eggs

So, Sunny calls it dialing, Jackson tried to correct her 50 times, but she just wasn't having any of it. So from now on, "dialing" eggs is what we will call it.

Jackson was in charge of the blue.

Sunny with her pink and purple.

The finished eggs.

Kangaroo Zoo

Today we went to Kangaroo Zoo for Jax's birthday party. We took his best friend Kadin with us. All the kids had so much. Sunny kept up with the boys, and Lila loved walking all over the place.

Going down the slide

There aren't many picture of Jax b/c he wouldn't stop to let us take any. Ryan had to hold him down to get this one.

Isn't she cute!!!

A rare one of me.

She was so happy to be able to run wherever she wanted.

Always a poser.

Daddy with his baby girl.

Riding a dinosaur.

I wanted a cute picture of her on this orange couch b/c the color was so pretty, but she would not cooperate at all. She just wanted to climb all over it.

After we wore the kids out playing we went to Wendy's to get kid's meals and frosty's for lunch. What a fun birthday!

Easter Party

Sunny was so excited for her preschool Easter party. She got all dressed up for the occasion in her dress that Mok sent her.

Happy 6th Birthday Jax

Jax's birthday was actually yesterday, but we were gone all day and I didn't have time to blog about it. He had a great day! These are of him opening his package from Mok and Pok. He loved everything. He got his own scooter, a remote control car, some kind of disc-launcher thing that he LOVES, a game, and some sticker and coloring books. As he was opening his presents he turned to me and said, "You know why all this is so cool, because I'll never be bored again!" I think I'll hold him to that. Thanks Mok for all the great presents. You definitely have a knack for knowing what my kids will love.

Scootering around my front room!

Lila got this bunny in the birthday package. She carried it around forever, but as soon as she set it down Sunny claimed it for her own. It's name is foo-foo and it will be going to preschool for show and tell with Sunny on Friday.

On Sunday afternoon we went to Nana's to watch conference and have a big party with Ryan's family. We have several April birthday's, so there was lots of yummy food and cake. Nana got Jackson Mario and Sonic at the Olympics for his Wii and he loves it. Thanks Nana.

I seriously can't believe my first baby is 6. Time has flown by. We are so grateful for him in our family. He is such a special kid. He is the best big brother to his sisters, and a wonderful example to all of us. Seriously, I'm not exaggerating. If you know Jackson, you know it is the truth. He is just about the best kid EVER!!!
