March 2012

 Chris got a coke/mentos fountain for Christmas and we finally got a chance to set it up!

 He thought that was so cool!  Quite a waste of pop though!

 Spring came slowly, but my kids enjoyed whatever time they could outside.

 Peyton explored the whole yard and played a little frisbee with Chris and I.

 Bentley loves balls and outside so this day was a perfect combo for him.

 Chris loves all the fruit trees our house is equipped with:)

 Chilling out one day:)

 Playing with their dinner while at grandma Sony's house for spring break!

 Peyton wearing the coat grandma Sony wore when she was a little girl.

 Peyton and Britnee playing with the coloring book from Aunt Tara.

 Bentley and Grandpa Rusty

 Getting ready for the Annual Easter Scavenger Hunt

 Bentley's thrilled:)

 Searching for the first goody bag

 Reading and moving on!

 Peyton has a personal porter taking her from clue to clue.

 Cody sending us to our next clue.

 Bentley wasn't so sure about it.

 Clue two was hidden well.

 Off to the next location.

 All the clues were hidden really well to make it more appropriate for the majority of the participants.

 Peyton had fun:)

 We made a oreo crumble cake and Peyton enjoyed the crumbles........

 A little too much:)

 Bentley wasn't sure about so many people around.

 But he finally warmed up to grandpa Rusty.

And Peyton's favorite part was while we were there, they set up the trampoline and she LOVED it.  We couldn't get her off it.

March Photos!

It's been a year since I did my kids photos in my front room with my blue blanket back drop so I figured I was due for updated ones. It was a whole new experience this year. Chris is getting old enough that he is quite simple to photograph. In and out in 6 shots! Peyton on the other hand was a handful! She is still learning the fine are of smilying without trying too hard, but showing a little teeth without lifting her chin, but still not shoving her chin in her chest, but looking at the camera and keeping her hands where I put them when she says cheese and wants to fling her hands in the air to show she's saying cheese........etc. Those of you who have done this with your own children know what I'm talking about. So I thought I'd first add her "difficult" picture so you'd all appreciate the glory that the "good" one brought me:)
She is such a beautiful girl, but I have a gut feeling I'm going to be seeing alot more of the last pictures face then I will be the next pictures face! 88 shots later, I decided to call it good for Peyton. What picture did I end up using as her "good" one you may ask............#2!!!!!

Then it was Bentley's turn. Chris was helping me get smiles! So Chris standing behind me made Bentley give me this look.

But soon the smiles were all we were getting! After about 13 shots, he was done.

Then came the group shot. By this time, Bentley and Peyton were done. Chris knew that it was better to just play along until I said I was satisfied. But once again, I have to show the "difficult" picture for everyone to appreciate the "good" one:)

But we did get a "good" one:) Even though, 2 of the 3 kids are looking at daddy, I'll take what I can get. Smiles on all three and eye's up in the general direction of the camera :P

It's sure been a crazy year with these three! Quick recap. Chris is almost through the 3rd grade and doing well. He has hit his AR goal all 3 terms so far and has got to go on their "mystery trip"(Hop 2 It, 3D Beauty and the Beast, and bowling) each time. I'm very proud of him. Peyton has been potty trained for a good 5 or 6 months now. She's getting such a personality that she makes me laugh on an hourly basis. She LOVES church and Jesus and praying and her brothers! Bentley is growing like crazy. Been walking since early December, making him my earliest walker at 12 months, where the other 2 waited until 14 months. He still only has 2 teeth, but it sure doesn't slow him down at the dinner table. He does needs an occational cuddle in the middle of the night sometimes, but it quite a fun boy to be around. Lifes good:)

February 2012!

(Feb 11th) S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y! Saturday night, Peyton wanted to watch a movie in her room. We set her up and she watched "Beauty and the Beast". She's such a cute girl!
(Feb 13th) It warmed up enough for us to go out and play while daddy grilled steaks on the grill. It was good to get out and let the kids enjoy the space and fresh air!

Peyton couldn't let me be the only one taking pictures so she got her camera too and made everyone say "cheese"!

Chris wanted me to take picture after picture after picture of him making a quick turn on his scooter.

And this in just one of Bentley's many priceless faces that are very hard to get a picture of. So funny;P

(Feb 14th) My friend Katie lives in Twin and she suggested we start getting together once a week to bake cookies. She has a little girl that is 7 months younger then Peyton, named Paige. She also watches a little girl named Ali and she's just 2 months younger then Bentley. So we let our youngins play and we bake cookies.

Here's our loot for our first week. We got festive and made them Valentines cookies!

December 12th-January 29th!

It's been so long since I posted so I'll just put up pictures of events and a short descriptionand let you enjoy:)

Chris's Elementary Chistmas program Jocelynn's in the front row on the left and Chris is on the half court line in the second row.
Ben and I's 5 year anniversary was on December 15th. I took him on a suprise trip to Salt Lake. We ate at The Roof restraunt, took a horse drawn carriage ride around Temple Square, and stayed in the Swiss Family Robinson Room at the Anniversary Inn. It was a fun trip:)

While Christmas shopping, we ate lunch at Chilli's. Well, they had a balloon animals guy making them for tips. Peyton got a doggy, named him puppy, and loved him until he withered away to nothing.

My parents brought up our Christmas from them the weekend before Christmas. It was nice to visit.

It was a Roseborough Christmas this year! Everyone got to be there. Here we are painting fingernails and toenails. And the kids are playing twister with Grannie Annie!

The adults busied themselves with some skeet shooting.

Ann hosted the nativity story Christmas Eve and all the kids that would dress up as characters did, and LOVED it:)

After opening Christmas eve gifts at Grandma and Grandpa's, we came home and our kids got to open their Christmas eve gifts from us too!

Peyton playing with the stockings after Christmas was over!

Peyton was too funny "pushing" the cart for dad.

Christmas brought us a new 50" TV and the box brought my kids tons of fun:)

We, the kids and I, took a weekend trip to Bear Lake. Peyton LOVES: "Bert-me" "Bert-me-boo" "Boob" and "Boobie". ALL of these are Peyton's way of saying Britnee!

Bentley's 1st hair cut:(

After!

KaDee's basketball games! Bret, Peyton in Bret's shades, Bentley, and Ben.

Peyton in her "Doe TaDee" shirt with Heidi!

Grandma Sony and Grandpa Rusty and Bentley cheering on KaDee.The whole gang! Peyton LOVES Bret and Heidi. She calls them "her friends" and wants to know when she'll see them again!

KaDee plays JV and Varsity, but hasn't actually played Varsity since being split onto both teams......until this game! #40, which ironically enough, was Ben's basketball number in high school.

Hope you enjoyed our past month and a half, and I hope to do better at posting again now that stuff has slowed up a bit:)
