Fun Surprise

Here is cute Davis crawling on everything he can. he loves to climb up on Bailee's dresser.

On Friday I got a surprise phone call from our friends in Spokane telling us they were in town. We were so excited to go and visit them and Bailee and Tyson LOVE their kids and were so excited to see them. it was so fun to catch up we were sad we couldn't visit longer.

Tyson and Peyton



Bailee and Madison

all the kids together. I can't believe it's already been a year since we've been up here.

Tyson and Davis.

Tyson started baseball last week. it's so cute to watch him. he loves to catch the grounders. I've been trying to practice with him. But I obviously have no clue what I'm doing. and I think he hates to practice with me. He loves to with Ryan or his buddy Stockton.
Tonight he hit the ball twice and caught it and threw it to a base. Go Tyson.


Here's cute little Davis. he's been crawling on everything. He loves to climb up on Bailee's bed, and even on her dresser next to her bed. and one of his favorite toys is the laundry baskets. He LOVES to get in and play with the laundry. it so cute unless I'm trying to fold clean laundry then it's not so cute. He's getting so cute and getting such a cute little personality. today I was laying on the couch and he came up and gave me a kiss.
Davis is a little delayed in walking and talking. We've got someone coming to work with him and help us to know what to do. he's so close to walking but not quiet there. and he loves to make all kinds of sounds, like a dog barking, or he likes to whistle, he just isn't saying words yet. He's so cute at prayer time. He loves to fold his arms for the prayer, I'd say he's the most reverent of all the kids. I sure love this little buddy.
Davis loves Spaghetti.

Do I even need to say APRIL FOOLS!!!

So I don't know if my adventurous side can go beyond Spokane Washington. But thanks for going along with my joke. This is definitely one of my favorite holidays. Here are a few more pranks we tried to pull today.

Last night I poured a bowel of cereal with milk in it and then stuck it in the freezer. then this morning when they woke up I just poured some milk on top of it to make it look fresh. They were so confused. Tyson kept yelling that his cereal was stuck in the bowel. it was funny. they were a little upset that they got April fooled but I think later they could laugh at it. (thanks Jen for the idea)

Bailee pretended she broke her arm while jumping on the trampoline. but she never told her class April fools and now she is begging me to let her wear the cast tomorrow she she can keep up the story. ( I think she loved all the attention she got)


Last but not least. I was going try and trick the kids but instead I let them help me and make one for their dad. doesn't this look like a real pizza? well it's just happens to be a sugar cookie with strawberry jam, white chocolate, black licorice, cashews, and fruit roll up's can you believe it. I think it looks pretty real.
My best prank of all I couldn't pull off. No one would fall for it. I put some Ice in the blender and then told both Ryan's dad and Alex that the garbage disposal was broken and see if they could fix it. then when they put their hand down there I was going to turn on the blender with ice in it. It makes me laugh every time I think about it. I'm so sad it didn't work out.
Thanks to everyone who believed my Tonga blog. you made my April Fools.
