Little things March

Max drew the story of Samuel the Lamanite. I love his drawings and his spelling!


I went to a fun Relief Society conference and we painted pineapples.


It's neat to go to stake events and have family there! We're so lucky to live close.


Got to have a park playdate with Charlee and her kids. It's always fun to see them! 


Our kids are all pretty close in age! 


Max was waiting for his friend to come over and sat in the entry way for probably 20 minutes!


This boy loves math and was so excited to finish his workbook so he could start the next one.


We went for a walk/ride around the lake and Harvey fell at one point. I offered him a ride in the stroller but he insisted on finishing, even if he was still crying. It was so sad and funny.


Another walk/ride, this time with Tyler as he had a random Friday at home with us.


Not the most effective golf technique.


Tyler went to the store with the kids for some birthday party gifts and came home with several classic games for us too! We've had so much fun introducing the kids to Operation, Twister, Battleship, etc.


Sometimes when Harvey is talking to you he feels the need to be inside your personal space, and touching you. It cracks me up every time.


Watching home videos in Mom and Dad's bed is one of the kids' favorite Sunday activities.



After seeing these styrofoam planes online we had to try one out! They are so fun. Tyler and I had just as much fun as the kids. Maybe more.


Max is really good at card games, and he loves to play them lately. 


I was working out and Harvey was enjoying watching from the comfort of his makeshift bed on the ottoman.


Millie did a project about wolves for school and made an oatmeal container into a wolf. Thanks to Sharon for the picture when we got to the bus stop and I realized I didn't have mine but wanted a pic!


Probably the last cold snap, which is too bad because he looks so cute in hats.


Max had his first field trip! His preschool class went to the Oil Ranch and had a great time. He looked so cute in his preschool shirt.


Harvey and I had the whole park to ourselves. I'm not great at doing fun things when I have just one kid with me but I'm always glad when we do.


Harvey loves granola and calls it "gorilla." He likes to eat it right out of the bag, even if he has something yummy to put it in, like yogurt or a smoothie. Or both in this case haha.


Thanks to the Target dollar spot for outfitting me and the kids with sunglasses. $6 worth of sunglasses in this picture! Amazing.


And a Batman sighting at Walmart.


Sunday family walk. We did this a lot in the spring, knowing it'd get too hot soon!


Fun with cousins

We had several visitors in March! On the Juergens side, Heidi and Wes came and we got to meet baby Morgan and see Garrett and McKenna. We had fun playing and catching up with them.



Harvey loves to pretend to take pictures with the pretend phone in the playhouse. He'll even go so far as to say, "That was a good one!" after taking one. 




Baby Morgan!



Myra was the only Juergens cousin missing here!






Gigi of the year right here! Heidi and I were both not allowed to bounce with babies in our bellies, so Gigi bounced with the kids.


Harvey had a great time, I think he was crying because he knew it was time to go haha.



Frozen yogurt!




We also got to see the Webbs over spring break. Met up with them at NASA and everyone learned they did not want to be astronauts when they grow up! Haha we learned some interesting things. It was very crowded, serves us right for going over spring break. Still a good time. Not pictured was a yummy dinner with them and Grandma and Grandpa and Tim and Lauren at Mia's Table. We love that place.

Harvey loves Eva so much!

Houston Rodeo 2019

We got to go to the rodeo three times this year! That was definitely not our plan but we were not sad at all that it worked out that way. The rodeo is one of our favorite traditions. Tyler happened to get two free tickets from work and we brought the kids along. Didn't stay for the concert but had tons of fun doing the petting zoo, eating a cinnamon roll, and doing some of the carnival games outside. I'll mostly let the pictures do the talking here.



Those cowboy boots are way too big but Harvey insisted on wearing them! He looked so cute.



The kids were giggling over the fact that one of the horses was named Max.



While in the petting zoo, a deer bit Harvey's shirt and was pulling him. Not sure if he was trying to eat the shirt or what, but it scared Harvey! Tyler grabbed Harvey within a few seconds but it was memorable. Pretty funny. Harvey still talks about the deer eating his shirt at the rodeo.



Max wanted to sit outside and just watch the carnival rides for a bit. It was so relaxing! Thanks Max for helping us slow down and take it all in.




The kids planted sunflower seeds and we had sprouts within a few days! Very exciting!


Rodeo round 2 was with the Juergens crew! Garrett and McKenna were in town for the weekend, and Heidi and Wes were in town as well. It was a party! More cinnamon rolls, nice weather, and great company. This was the only time we stayed for the actual rodeo and concert, which was so fun. I love watching the rodeo.




Harvey fell asleep, which is pretty impressive considering how loud it was in there! Boyfriend was tired!



Round 3 was with the Webbs and Monka during spring break. We finally made it out to the pig races this time, pet the bunnies, and of course ate more cinnamon rolls. We love the rodeo!
