2 weekends ago we got to have our sweet little niece stay with us all weekend! And in total Sant fashion we of course had to take them out to eat. (anywhere with fry sauce please:-)
And make treats... This is what happens when you let your kids turn the mixer on.
This is the mess that happens after they play in all the flour!
This past weekend we spent up at Brian Head skiing. Don't ask me why we went to see snow on our spring break! But it turned out to be a blast (not that you can tell from the look on Carter's face) Carter and Kai took ski lessons. And by day 3 they were rippin it up on the slopes... or at least they learned to slow down... (that was Carter's big accomplishment)
SO, it turns out that my kids are terrified of the Easter Bunny! who knew? I guess I haven't done a good job explaining it to them, because before bed on "Easter Eve" Carter kept insisting that we leave the easter baskets outside and lock the door. He just kept saying "and lock the door Mom". He wanted nothing to do with the Easter bunny sneaking in our bedroom and waking him up. Which in turn made Brady start freaking out about going to bed. He just started crying- "I wanna wake up... I wanna wake up!" followed by "The easter bunny's not going to come in here huh?... " and "It's just a costume huh?..." when we convinced them that doors were locked and no Easter bunny would be coming inside- they finally settled down. And look at the joy when they realized the jelly bean rabbit poop and hidden Easter Eggs that the Easter bunny left behind. Crazy kids!
We celebrated Brady's 3rd birthday. Man- I love that kid! He brings more laughter to our lives than the rest of the 3 of us combined. (also more frustration- but hey- I guess we'll keep him!)
The kids had a great time sledding on the ski slopes. Our cabin was a ski in/ski out cabin right on Brian Head which made for great sledding and serious competition!
These 2 little monkeys just hung out inside the cabin with us all weekend.
I think I must have 10 pictures that look just like this- same ski gear, same pose, same smiles... but I have to get in at least 1 picture of the trip!
The kids loved playing games with E-ma. She's the best!
I can't tell if this is a crazy sugar high face from all the easter candy? or a constipated face.
On the other hand... maybe Brady just has crazy morning eyes. Both of these pictures he looks a little psycho to me, but it was right after he woke up. On the other hand- he is a little crazy. This was on his real birthday. We had pancakes for breakfast and Chuck E. Cheese for lunch! If that's not a fantastic birthday I don't know what is!
Both boys were excited about his new Wiggle Racer! Looks like we may be needing another.
