Happy 90th Grandpa!

A couple of weekends ago we celebrated my grandpa's 90th birthday! My mom and her siblings along with my grandma surprised him with a luncheon/open house for family at their church in Jerome. Ok, can I just say that my grandma is the most photogenic person I have ever seen?! Love her beautiful smile :) my grandpa has a lovely smile as well :)

I should have gotten a picture with both Evie and Zayne with Grandpa Great, but I must have spaced it while I was trying to keep Zayne out of everything! That kid....

  

My mom decorated so nicely and had lots of pictures to display. It looked very nice!

Our side of the family. Just missing my sister in Alaska and her family...and one sister in law!

Silly picture ;)

 

This picture above makes me laugh! Looks so out of character for Owen to be holding a big bouquet of brightly colored balloons ;)

The kids had fun playing on the stage while we finished cleaning up the gym. 

I can't believe that my grandpa is 90! Do you think old age runs in the family? Not sure I want to live until 90. My great grandmother, so my grandpa's mother, lived until she was 95 or 96. I guess time will tell! In my mind I still remember my grandpa from when I was little and he was only in his late 60's, and he still seemed so young. I remember him lovingly taking care of my uncle who had cerebral paulsey alongside my grandmother, until he passed away; I was a senior in high school . Anyway, I remember him carrying my uncle to and from the car, or lifting him from the bed to his wheel chair. My grandfather served in WWII for 3 years and when he returned home from the war, met my grandmother on a blind date and were married shortly after. What a great legacy he has made! He is a very good man and I'm so grateful that he is still with us today :) Happy Birthday, Grandpa! We love you :)

Little happenings

Just a bunch of pictures of we have been up to lately. Does anyone else feel like thier kids are constantly hungry?!

This picture above makes me laugh! We got home from church one Sunday and Evie was in the middle of changing out of her church clothes and got distracted by the ipad and then decided to sandwich herself in between two pillows! It just looks so funny!

At the end of April I got together for lunch with some of my best friends from high school. It was a nice reunion!

Evie loves the headless mannequins ;)

And she wanted her picture with the pants as well. What a funny girl :)

This girl loves the Pinkalicous books! She got four different ones for her birthday and since then she has been obsessed with making pink cupcakes! We finally made them one night and as she was eating it she asked me if she was turning pink yet ;) 

Got this girl a cute little swim suit and she demanded I take a picture of her. This girl lives the camera!

My kids absolutely LOVE cucumbers!

Evie found my gloves and came walking in the house one evening with them on her feet. These kids never cease to crack me up ;)

They have been doing construction off of the Broadway exit and Zayne freaks out every time we drive by it; which is quite frequently. I'm pretty sure it's his favorite part of the day :)

We have been frequenting the park a lot lately and Zayne is now able to climb this all by himself! He's growing in leaps and bounds. 

Evie LOVES the swings. In fact that is an understatement!

Here is Evie giving Zayne a Doc a McStuffins check up before bed.

We celebrated Zayne's birthday with Owen's family this past Sunday. He was born on his cousin, Chase's birthday.

Evie and cousin Abbie :)

Luckily grandma and grandpa Johnston have do many fun tractors to sit on and take pictures!

Zayne is always trying to imitate me while I do my work out! Here he is doing his incline push up.

And some other leg work outs ;)

We found some ducks around the corner from my sisters house. The kids fed them some bread and enjoyed watching them.

I love this little man; so darn cute!

For family home evening this last week we planted some tomato plants for my mom. This kids and I all love tomatoes so we are very excited to see them grow!

This clamatis bush at my moms house is so gorgeous! I had to get thier picture in front of it!

Fun at cousin Felicity's house! We forgot a swimsuit the day it rained and I only had one diaper left in the car and so he wore his birthday suit for a while. I love his little bum!

Another favorite spot for the kids is the library! Here is daddy reading all of the books they checked out :)
