Before....

These picture may not all be in order, but that's okay.  I need to catch up real quick on life before and after our exchange student arrived.

We celebrated Grandma Hadlock's birthday with surprise party.  We got there a little early so the boys got to play outside for a little while.

It was such good weather that day that it was hard not to be outside the whole time.  We ended up eating outside and then playing with a big huge ball that you can get inside of.  We were having fun rolling the kids down the little hill on the side of the house.  I think there is a video of that later.

 The video of Morgan climbing the wall was from a while back, but I was finally able to get it off my phone and on to the computer.

 The boys love to go for rides in the wheelbarrow at Grandma's.  We were able to fit all four boys in there too.

Jaron loved chasing the big green ball around.  It was really funny to see him try to pick it up and walk around with it in the backyard.

 That same weekend, two of my brothers and their families stopped by.  My older brother and his wife just had a new baby girl and they came up to show us.  The above picture is my niece from my other brother.  Although they are pretty close in age Auri is about double the size of baby Ada.  (I'll add those pictures once I get them from Morgan's phone).  It was so fun to have them here for a while.

 It also happened to be St. Patrick's Day on Sunday and luckily the new suit that I got for Damon had a green shirt.

 I love his poses that he decided to do for the camera.  Silly boy!

 Logan and Linc had a blast playing with each other.  They are good friends and cousins and we love to get together.

 Sweet Sequoia was my buddy this trip.  She wanted to walk by my and sit by me and it made me feel really special.  I guess if I keep getting awesome nieces like this, then I won't be so sad if I never get my own girl...and my sister can do all the raising and I can just spoil them.  :)

Now that the weather is warming up a bit....sort of....the kids like to be outside again.  One of the benefits of living by new construction is the everchanging scenery and lots of dirt and rocks.

 Logan also started his piano lessons and he is loving it.  He is really excited about it right now and I hope he can keep that up when things start getting a little more challenging.

 We also had an early easter egg hunt.  Logan was at school so it was just the younger boys.

 I think they had a lot of fun though.  There were a lot of kids that we knew and lots that we didn't.

 We had lots of people from two different wards.  I

 The boys actually did really well and were very patient while waiting to go in and find all the eggs.  I hope the weather is good this weekend so we can do an outdoor egg hunt at our house.

There might be an update to this post, but for now, until next time...
