March

March was big for Fay. She got 4 new teeth right at the beginning of the month. She got her top left tooth first and I was a little worried that her front teeth weren't coming in first, but they came in pretty quick after the snaggle tooth popped through. As soon as those were through, 2 others ones popped up on the bottom. 8 teeth at 8 1/2 months! She's eating everything we put in front of her, except her baby food of course. She is already eating chicken and pretty much eats what we do. She loves strawberries and bananas!

Playing in the sandbox with Dalton and Grant
It snowed for the first time all winter. Can you see that blizzard our there? If you look close you can see a few tiny flakes on his hair!
We got the chance to go see the Blue Angels preform at the St. George Airport on St Patty's day. Austin came down with Grandpa and we had a great time. 



This is how the kids sat a lot! It was very loud and by the end they were very done. But they each got a cool airplane and had fun watching the airplanes and all their cool tricks!
Briton LOVES taking pictures of Fay. And somehow he always seems to get a cute one of her.
Brit's Preschool field trip to Staheli farm to learn about animals. Here they are learning about how to plant seeds and take care of them.
Brit wasn't a big fan of the stinky animals.


He also stayed at the back of the pack when it came to petting the animals. 
But he loved the tractor ride, the swings, and the playground. Go figure!



Green Knight in floods?
Brit started soccer and had a blast kicking goals in the wrong goal for the first couple games. But he'll get it, it's early in the season:)



Hadley Turns 3!!! March 27th

Hadley was oh so excited for her 3rd birthday! 
I found this cute shirt and decided to try one of my pinterest finds and make her a skirt. Such a cute Birthday girl!
                                   
We practiced this for weeks!
We had a family party and she of course got spoiled by grandparents and cousins and loved her ice cream cake.



All she wanted was a princess party. So we decided to have a special visitor stop by the party. And who better than Rapunzel!?! She helped them paint their crowns...

She danced and sang songs...
And taught the girls how to smile like a princess for pictures! 
Hadley was a little scared of her and wouldn't even get close to her. I was kind of shocked, but after she left she didn't stop talking about how she loved "Tangled" coming to her party.

We had some yummy cupcakes and made wishes and made our sweet little princess very happy:)


Fay was a cute little snow white too!

February

Justin turned 31 this February and we had been planning a trip to celebrate his birthday for months. It just so happened that the Jazz and BYU had home games the weekend of his Bday. So Friday after school we headed up to SLC to watch the Jazz play Kevin Durant and Oklahoma City. I have to admit although I was cheering for the Jazz, I was most  excited to see Oklahoma City play. They are definitely my 2nd favorite team. The game was a lot of fun and we were lucky enough to meet up with Quinn and Lindsay for the second half. It was fun catching up! 
The next day we hit Cabellas and the Mall for a much needed Chick fa la kick! Oh Yum! We went to the BYU game and watched them win by 20+ and then it was off to PF Changs for a birthday dinner. We hit a movie and then headed down to Santaquin to stay at Devin and Megans house. What we thought to be a little rain the next day ended up being waking up to 6 inches of SNOW on our van and a steady continuous downfall the next few hours! So we scratched the scenic route home and headed home on the freeway. But despite the snow trying to ruin our last few hours we still had a wonderful time! A big thanks to Randy and LeAnn for staying with our kiddos! And of Course HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my amazing hubby! Love You!!

 Helping Daddy open his presents

 Love this picture of my girls!
 Hadley and Briton got Angry bird blankets from Justin for Valentines Day. Faydyn loved them and cuddle up while watching the older two jump on the tramp.


 Hadley loves being by her sister.
 Sitting up all by herself! What a big girl! 8 Months, can you believe it! She finally got her first top tooth. Strange thing is it is not a front tooth! Its the one next to her front tooth. Its getting big while the others are still hiding. It scared me at first when I thought it was a front one and that maybe her teeth were going to be way off centered but when you look close (if she lets you) you can see the other 3 top ones trying to break through. She is snotty and is a constant drool face, but we still think she's cute! She likes to make all sorts of noises with her mouth and when you click your mouth she will copy you. Its a fun game we play all the time. She also gets up on her knees and attempts to crawl. She doesn't get far before she realizes that the army crawl is much faster and that it is. She is pretty speedy and can get all over the house. She also said "mama" the other day. But it's only when she is crying. For example... I walk by her and don't pick her up and she follows me crying "mama" She's only done it twice, but its pretty cute. She gets in moods where she likes to be held and playing on the floor is not okay. If we are busy with other things she will follow us all over until we finally pick her up. But she is such a sweet little thing and we just can't get enough of her smile. She is also starting to wave when you say "hi" "bye" or "night night"



January

We got a new fishing pond right by our house and decided to make good use of Brits new fishing pole and gear he got for Chirstmas. We came here quite a few times in January. Each time the kids would be into the fishing for the first 5 minutes and also when we caught a fish, but other than that they were riding around on their bikes or walking around talking to everyone else who was trying to fish. 
 You can't tell from this picture but Hadley actually really likes touching and holding the fish.
 Hadley just being her cute little self!
 Not sure why I love this picture of Brit so much. I just LOVE his eyes and how green they are in this picture. His eyes are never the same color and I just love them!
Brit loves being in Preschool and we were able to go on a field trip to the dentist. This is where he goes so he was pretty excited! He seriously didn't stop talking the whole hour we were there!
 Faydyn and her Bumbo. She lives in this thing! A few things about Faydyn at 7 months. She is still rolling all over the place and now army crawls to get where she needs to. Its slow but she can get to the toy she wants eventually. She is still a happy little thing and seems to be getting more and more pleasant. Unless she is teething that is and she is getting more teeth right now. She has 2 on the bottom and is starting to get some on the top. They are torturing her by not breaking all the way through, but are close.


 I decided to take the kids up to Richfield at the end of January since we hadn't been there FOREVER!! While we were there we discovered a few things...
Brit can blow up a balloon all by himself
 Fay is super cute
 the kids love bubbles
 grandpa is crazy
 and did I mention Fay is SUPER cute!


So there is our January in a nutshell.
