Mother's Day

I am so lucky to have 4 beautiful healthy children. I hope that each day I can strive to be a better mother to them like my mom was to me.

I love my matching beauties!

The whole gang! I love them!

Maura's 6th Birthday

I can't believe Maura is 6 already! Time is moving too fast for me. She made a specific request for T.J. and I: that we both come in together on her birthday and wake her up by singing Happy Birthday. We thought that was too cute to refuse. We started out the day by opening presents. Then we went to see the movie Rio with friends. After that we went to the park. We played, had pizza and cake, and opened more presents. I think she really enjoyed the day.

Mila's Blessing

Isn't she an angel? We blessed Mila on May 1st. We were a little sad not to have the entire Webb/Rubalcava family with us to bless her, but we did have Drew and Cass here and our ward family so it was still a special day. Her dad gave her a very sweet blessing. It was a special day for us.

My friend Laura took these pictures of her. They are so precious.

Spring Break

This is proof tha we did at least one fun thing during spring break. Most of the time we just played around the house, but one day we went to a little kid's museum and spent the morning there. The kids had tons of fun as always.

Happy Easter

The Easter Bunny came to our house Saturday morning this year....it was super exciting. Then we went our ward breakfast/building clean up activity and hunted eggs there.

Then we colored eggs. The kids had a blast. And while they were doing that....Mila was doing this:

She missed the whole thing.

Here are my kiddos all spiffed up for church. Aren't they cute?

Then we had our family egg hunt.

And while the kids were eating their candy....Mila was doing this. Are you starting to see a trend here? ;)

Isn't she adorable?

New Ride

Ok everyone...brace yourselves. I am driving a minivan now. Yes, I am one of those people who said they would never drive one, but after having my fourth child, it got to be very frustrating to get everyone in and out of the other car. I have to admit that I totally love it. It rides smooth, the kids can get in and out easily, and the automatic doors protect the cars that are parked next to us from my kids swinging the doors open and denting their doors. We got a few extras in it which make it even more enjoyable. Timmy named her Ellie because our licence plate number starts with ELE. I think it fits.

Kindergarten Concert

Maura and Jada had a little concert at school. They were so excited, but right before the concert Maura told me, "mom, I'm just a little state fright." I thought that was so sweet. She said the adults in the audience were making her nervous. Once she got up there and got started she had a ball. She was so expressive and did every action to best of her ability. I couldn't help but giggle at her exuberance. Both girls did a great job.

The boys waiting for the concert to start. And while they were doing this.....Mila was doing this:

she missed the whole thing.

These two are best buds
