Spring is officially here!!!

The only thing better then summer is a great Spring!  There is nothing like the really warm days without being to hot, and after being cooped up all winter getting out as much as possible.  My kids are major out door kids so we have been out tons.  Here are some fun things!

We went to the zoo the other day, girls first trip that they could actually enjoy it.

My beautiful Vienna who loves to walk every were, but bless her heart is the slowest walker known to man!

This is why Matt says "You don't give little girls play strollers, because then they think they have to push them around instead of sit in them"  I laughed pretty hard!  She literally pushed it through 90% of the zoo instead of riding!

Sitting outside on the porch, loving life eating ice cream!!

Paris is a major book girl, I never seen a kid be so content with books (or any magazine in her case).  She loves to go outside and sit on a chair and just look through books!

This is what happens every night while cooking dinner.  I can't even get something quick out without having something taken out by the girls or this is their favorite sitting area!  They will not leave the kitchen while I am cooking (I guess more the marier, right?)

Taking the kids to the park!  Talmadge and Mason have become pretty unseperable these days!  I don't know if you can see but they both decided to take the girls sunglasses and wear them whiling playing.  They are pink and totally sparkly.  We call them Elton John when they walk around with these!

This picture if for my families sake.  Take note the shirt Vienna is wearing is one that Andra who is now 12 next week, wore in one of our family pictures.  Pig tails and all, they look so much a like, minus maybe the cheeks.  (I have to say the shirt has held up great too)

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!!!!  Ok so this Easter kicked last Easters butt!!!  Last year for the girls first Easter we all had the flu and didn't get to see anyone.  This year the girls got to wear their new dresses to church matching Talmadge.

We started it all out by dying Easter eggs.  Matts favorite part!

Surprising them Easter morning with their baskets was way to much fun, I think the kids loved all the things they got from the Easter Bunny!

After church we headed off to my Mom's and sisters house.  The day was so much fun.  Tons of food and TONS of desserts to eat, egg hunt, riding bikes, playing football and everything else.......so much fun!

The kids were all so cute and squeeze on to one table enjoying each others company.  My girls made a royal mess but everyone was so happy!

My kids loved the Easter egg hunt.  Paris just wanted to stop and see want was in every egg instead of finding more.  Talmadge rocked it with Makenzie and Mason,  and little V was just on her way finding the eggs.

My mom got all the kids these cute little Easter socks for their egg hunt!

My girls thought they hit the jackpot with this little bike.  They thought they were awesome like the big kids!

Here are my 3 best friends in the entire world!!!!!!

Over all I would say this was one of the best Easters to go down in the books.  Love my family soooo much!!!!!!!

Fun Fun and More Fun!!!!!

We've been doing some great things around here. They just opened up a new aquarium. It is still being built but so far it was pretty fun with the kids. The girls literally would have jumped in the water in the touching pool if we would have let them.

Around the house the kids have started getting their blankies and putting them on like capes!! They all run around the house after each other saying "Fly, Fly, Fly" It is the cutest thing every!!!

Talmadge decided to make a little bed in my kitchen for them all to lay down in!

My girls have made it very clear they no longer want anyone to feed them. They are very independent! So this is what we end up with at the end of dinner. We love spaghetti!

Are my girls not so awesome looking!!!!

Then, Matt showed Talmadge how to shave with his awesome new spiderman shaver. It was so fun!

Last, my little project after 6 years of having my bathroom the same I decided to re due it because it was way over do. It was so much fun and I love the way it turned out!

Hanging out at home!

Nothing overly major has been happening around the Stevens home lately but we have been keeping busy even with the cold weather. My kids always add a lot of entertainment in our lives so here is some cute little pictures of them.

We had a fabulous snow day and Talmadge got to have 2 awesome play dates in it. First with Georgia and Van Anderson who he loves to play with. To top it off with hot chocolate to warm up!! (Sometimes it is way to much fun being a mom)

Then, he had Makenzie over to play. I love this picture, look at the size of the snow balls they are about to throw in each others faces!

Then, we had Matts birthday party, big old #34. Talmadge was nice enough to blow out all of Dad's candles before he could even get a breath to do it.

More and More and More puzzles all the time!

Having fun building Legos!

Always love hanging out with Grandma!

Both of the girls have become seriously obsessed with this backpack. They put is on and wear it all around the house no matter what they are doing. It is the cutest thing ever!

Ok, my girls get the funniest hair at night when you take out their hair from the day it always sticks straight up and makes us laugh so hard! Not to mention the smile that could melt any heart!

The girls love their strollers going all over the house with them!

Though we are having fun in the winter we continue to dream of warmer days when we can play soccer outside instead of inside! Soccer starts next month for this little boy and he couldn't be more happy.

Christmas time!!!

We started out our fabulous Christmas with a little family get together at the B'Arnells. Before Mom headed off to Denver and we headed off to Vancouver. And as usual was just so much fun had by all. Little note, by the time we got around to opening presents, yes, my girls look a little hashed, but you got to love them anyways!!!

The fabulous Babbitt sisters. Three peas in a pod.

Next we packed up the car and headed off to Vancouver, to spend it with the Stevens family.

We started it all out with a little Birthday party for Talmadge, I and Trey who we all have our Birthday barely a week apart.

Then we headed off to some fun family bowling. Nothing like passing one kid for another kid for another kid so we can all have a chance to bowl.

The girls thought that the bowling balls were awesome and had so much fun playing with them all.

Nanna being awesome and holding both girls so we could bowl. Poor Vienna wasn't having anybody holding her.

Hanging out with the cousins!

The fabulous Stevens girls!

Sexy picture brought on by Brittany, but I think it is fun of us!!

Then we had a little polar express to deliver the new Christmas PJ's

Then back home to make orange cookies for Santa!! Talmadge was so exited for Santa this year. Seriously the funnest year since I have had kids!!

First thing Christmas morning we headed off to church. Which was a great way to spend Christmas morning before opening presents.

Yes, you may all laugh at my girls as hard as I did in this picture!!

After church the kids all lined up in their Christmas PJ's to head down stairs and open presents!

Now here is my cute, happy little girl!

Santa brought Talmadge the exact present he asked for.

Some more awesome spiderman PJ"s

My girls first doll house. Only been waiting so many years to buy this!!!

The next day we headed off to the Children's Museum. (Coolest Place) They had a Lego exhibit going on, hence Paris's awesome outfit.

The water exhibit which the kids loved and got drenched in.

Talmadge and Grandpa being a veterinarian.

This area has tons of cut up tires for the kids to go in and play!

The girls have to follow their brother every were he goes!

Talmadges favorite section. The groceries and cooking section!

Then off to play with cousins..........

....and tackling Uncle Nick!!

Last but not least a peaceful ride back home!!!

What a great Christmas from start to finish!!!!
