Charlotte 5th birthday

Sunday was Charlotte's 5th birthday.  She is my princess, I see those shirts that say, I'm 99.9% sure I'm a Disney princess...this is Charlotte, she even talks like she belongs in a fairy tale,  she has been OBSESSED with Frozen since the day she saw it, everything in her life is about Frozen, she has the whole movie memorized along with all the songs.  I've been looking for an Elsa dress forever and could not find one that was perfect, so I had one made and it could not have turned out more perfect.  I only do birthday parties every other year, so this was her off year, but we still had all the family over for cake, ice cream and presents.
5 THINGS ABOUT CHARLY
5: She loves animals, even if they bite her, she continues to try and love on them
4: She has the cutest little accent, if you didn't know she was born and raised in Utah, you would think she was from Boston
3: She is hilarious, she comes up with some of the funniest things and makes everyone laugh. I am going to miss getting to hear all the funny things that she comes up with when she starts kindergarten
2: She wants to be like her big sister so bad, if Lili plays with her, it ends up being the best day ever for her.
1: She is quite the little dancer, she can't just stand there and talk to you, she has to throw a spin or leap into it while you're trying to carry on a conversation with her.

Easter 2014

Our Easter weekend was packed full of fun.  Sydney and Maddox slept over Friday night, then the girls got to go to their house Saturday and color eggs, then Sunday morning Grandma and Uncle Andee came over for breakfast and went to church with us, after church we went to Grandma and Grandpa Perry's for an egg hunt and ribs.  Here are the kids in their Easter outfits.  Kooper took like 100 pictures and these are the only 3 that turned out good!!



Lili gymnastics

Lili's gym just got a new girls director, who is an amazing gymnast, she was an alternate for the 96 Olympics and was a shoe in for the 2000, but got injured and couldn't compete, she has been coaching at a college the last couple of years, so it is awesome that she is going to be coaching at Lili's gym. She wants Lili to move over to the top competing team. She will start on level 5, but her coach is hoping to have her competing level 6/7 by next winter!  Lili has worked so hard the past year and has become an awesome gymnast, we can't wait to see how far she goes!
Lili will walk around our house like this

Lili is the middle wearing the green.  She could sit in her straddles all day!

Jimi passed out

Jimi went non stop yesterday.  He refused to take a nap, so around 8 last night I gave him my phone and this is what Kooper and I walked in to find 5 minutes later.  Aside from the string of drool all over my brand new phone it was pretty funny to see him out like that!!


Spring Break

Jimi smashed his thumb in the van door the night before we left, thankfully it was not broken, just swelled up really big

Gymnastics State Championships

The Excel State Gymnastics competition was on Saturday and Lili did AWESOME, She got the highest scores she has ever gotten on all the events and finished in 5th place.  She has worked so incredibly hard the past 6 months and has gotten so good, I think she gets more muscular every week, we call her our little muscle momma!! we are so proud of her and can't wait until next years competitions!

Randomness from our camera

Lili started doing this with Charlotte and Jimi the other day, and discovered what a good leg work-out it is, so now she does it all the time....we call it the Lili Train

Cousin McCoy came over the other night, he and Jimi planted themselves on my bed for most of the night watching Nitro Circus

Jimi is all boy....most of the time! 

Random pictures

Charlotte and Jimi love to watch movies in our room, but I just got a new bed spread and Jimi got chocolate milk on it the day after I got it, so I've been making them sit on the floor, Charlotte insisted that I make a comfy bed for them so they could watch Thor!

Jimi has been testing me lately....he has always been a stinker, but lately he has taken it to an all new high! he got a hold of a white board marker and decided to decorate my wood floor....thankfully it came right off

Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day.  We celebrated V-day on Monday, because Lili had a gymnastics competition Friday.  We took the kids to see the Lego movie, then to Tucanos after.

polygamy braid

No....this is not me, this is Kooper! he was working on the computer the other night, and I was bored!! he thought I was just playing with it, but i was seeing if it was long enough to do a full french braid...or as he calls it, a polygamy braid!

Jimi



I'm not sure what was going on when these were taken, but they're some funny pictures of Jimi!

Jimi and the i pad

Jimi loves watching his shows on the i pad.... he will sit forever like this!!

Puppy scare

I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing and seeing our puppy, but we had a scare today and I wanted to share about it. our little guy has not felt great since we brought him home, we chalked it up to him being under stress from the move and the changes in his life, but it has gotten worst and worst every day, and today he got really sick, so I called the vet and described what was going on and he said it sounded like parvo, which is a really scary virus that 80% of puppies die from if they get it.  I rushed him in and they tested him and thankfully it was negative, so the doctor examined him and could feel that his intestines were bigger than they should be, so then we thought that maybe he ate something that he shouldn't have....aka, a toy!   they did an x-ray and that wasn't it, but his intestines were really big, so they tested his poop, he had a lot of bad bacteria in there, which is what was making him so sick, he is on an anti biotic and a pro biotic now, and hopefully on the road to recovery

Sirius.....baby #4

We have had our dog Sirius for a little over and week, and it is still the greatest thing EVER. I have been able to get so much done, I just get him out and the kids are entertained for hours.  He has such a sweet and loving personality, he will play tug a war and run and chase the kids around, then sit and snuggle on my lap for hours.  I always thought people were so weird for treating their dog like a person and fawning over them, but now I see why, Sirius is so much fun and has seriously become my 4th child.  We just love our little guy.
