March Happenings

March is a good month--things aren't too busy with spring activities and the weather is pulling away from winter and the transition of seasons is thick in the air.
Mae is the luckiest to have a fun oldest brother who will entertain her now and then.
I loved watching them play from inside the house!

I got to go out with some of my cutest Young Women and we had a great time!
Addie - Jada - Kahri - Kim 
Miriam - Isabelle - Emi - Me

Mae's most requested lunch of the month was jam and toast and that made it super easy on me!


Toddler imaginations are so fun-


Not sure why this selfie is here, but most of my days are good mix of happy and crazy and I thought this was a good representation-

I'm officially an uncool mom and super cringed when Thad picked out these white crocs with his birthday money-
I guess I'm not that uncool - I did buy Wes a pair, too!


I'm constantly in awe of this boy changing into a man-

Even if he is the silliest!

I love that these cuties had a beautiful, fun day for St. Patty's day-




The sunshine mid-March was just what we all needed!




Dad dug deep and channeled his inner Grandpa Russ and got our new dutch oven seasoned and engraved before its maiden voyage at an Aaronic Priesthood campout-

The highlight of March was our spring break in Florida! It was a good month!

10-Month Liv

 Not sure how month 10 came and went, but it did, and this girl just gets better with time.
We had some amazing, warm days in March and this girl was there for it!

Pulling up on everything and acting SO BIG!
And almost looking to big for this-
Haha! Love this baby-wearing daddy!

She finds all crumbs and interesting bits on the floor and tests them with her front little teefies-
We try to keep the floor clear, but it's a never ending problem.

This is a very common occurrence-
"Just hold me, mama!"

But we mostly get these smiles-



Wes is so happy to have another leprechaun to share St. Patty's Day with! 


More sunshine-


More ginger love-


And lots of chasing these girls up, down, and all around!


She finished month 10 in the happiest place on earth, and we are just the happiest family on earth to have her a part of ours!

Happy 10 months, Livy Lou -- We LOVE you!

Animal Kingdom

 Our last day was at Animal Kingdom and it was THE perfect way to end our trip! Less people, shorter lines, and just less crazy all around.



There aren't many rides in Animal Kingdom and we were bummed that the Everest ride was closed down being refurbished...I guess we'll just have to come back!
Liv seems ok with that idea-















We ended the day at the park with the Avatar ride and all LOVED it!





We got our post-lunch treat and decided to call it a day!







Man, that was a crazy week, but we are just so dang happy about it!
So many fun memories that will last us all a lifetime!

Since we left early on our last day, we got some yummy dinner and watched Avatar and it was so much fun after riding the ride that day! We got a good night's sleep and it was back in the car and this is how we all felt about it...
We had an amazing time and can't wait to see what other adventures Florida will bring us!
