Double tooth loss & plenty of fun together

These boys were so happy because they BOTH lost a tooth on the same day...well, let's just say, they made themselves lose it on the same day because 1)they thought it would be fun and 2) they have a dad who isn't afraid to pull out teeth.

No tears!

(Jax's first tooth)

 Tears!

(Austin's 4th tooth)

But...still way cool to have the tooth fairy come twice!

Spence was out of town for a few days in April and the kids and I enjoyed some cuddle time together and took a pic to show daddy we missed him.

 April is always the best for flying kites and these 3 boys were determined to fly them!

 Case, Jax and Austin - they sure are awesome friends.

 Can't see super well but on the right side is Austin's kite - he kept it up for quite awhile too!

So fun.  Love these few years of super fun "new-ness"

 STUNNING!

Isn't that gorgeous?

The clouds are so pretty in the early Spring.

 Oh, this boy - he is starting to ween off naps but when he is tired, he grabs his blanket and he is down for the count.

Little cutie pie.

 Before church and already tired?

We are in trouble!

Logan to the rescue!

 This kid!

No one like him - that's why we love him so much!

He had a SuperHero day at his Little Gym class this day.  So cute!  He would not wear a costume so instead, he became Batman.  A pretty cute one I think.

Another phase down.

Time for Logan to get a new seat - a booster for him.

The before and after shot.

3 back boosters and 2 five-point harnesses.

 And now...

3 backless boosters (after this pic, I took the other two off) and 1 back booster and only 1 five-point harness.

 

And one really cute, yet very mischievous two year old helper.

Love you Blakey.

 One of my favorite parts of the winter/early spring is this beautiful plant - our Christmas Cactus.

I love it and every year it blooms, I forget to take a picture so this year, I made it a point to remember.

I love the color and the design of this flower - so unique and fun that it only blooms in the "cold" months of the year.

These two...

 worst enemies... &

...two seconds later, the best of friends.

Very opposite but oh, how Blake loves Logan and loves to be with him - Logan is still working on admiring Blake and loving him all the time :)

He'll get there!

Makes me so happy to see them happy together.

Dying Easter Eggs & Easter Sunday

After a fun hunt at grandma's house, we came home and dyed our Easter eggs.

Super fun tradition!  Love it!

Little by little, we got them dyed and everyone was happy too which was a bonus.

Next, it was time for the Easter Bunny to hide them and man, did he hide them!

Such a fun Easter morning.

Right on Christoff's legs in Rio's barbie house!

Such a fun Sunday morning with these kids watching them enjoy the "fun" of Easter and the Easter bunny and then going to church to learn more and appreciate more the gift of our Savior.

In their Sunday best!

They all look so great!

I love this pic because Grandma Bonnie snuck one of these cuties while they were singing on Easter Sunday in sacrament meeting.

The triplets were asked to sing one of our favorites, "Gethsemane" for the special musical number.  It was absolutely gorgeous and they did so well.  I was so proud of them and love that they are willing to share their talents!

Morris Easter Egg Hunt '16

Happy Easter!

Such a fun family tradition.  We all love it and it was such a beautiful day too so it made it even more fun.  Jackets and sweaters but warm and sunny.

Cannot wait for Spring!!!

Blake and Preston ready for some huntin'

So many of these pics, I'm not going to say anything because well, we're all just finding eggs but they were so cute to not post, I had to do them all!

 (oh, that smile!  Love it)

 Tricky grandma :)

 Even Lennox joined in the fun - he must have felt left out and started to hunt around - hee-hee

Cutie cousins

 *Austin, Logan, Jax, Blake, Ethan, Rio and Preston*

All happy kids!

Love this Morris crew so much

 Since Marc and Kari don't have kids yet, we let them borrow a few of ours for this pic.

 Andrew, Kisty, Preston and Ethan

 Marc and Kari

and the grandparents too!

Love this tradition but even more, love that we are reminded of re-birth at Easter time and the sacrifice our Heavenly Father and Savior made for us.  I'm so grateful for the atoning sacrifice of our Savior and his never ending love for each of us.

I'm so grateful to know of His eternal plan of happiness and the gift of His life, His death and the truth that He lives again and so will we.

Happy Easter!
