Easter

We had a Easter Egg hunt at Donya's house. It was terrible outside so we hid the eggs inside. The kids had fun getting the eggs. Kezy got her fare share. Mostly she just wanted to eat the candy inside. Her and all the other girls got dresses on and played all evening.

Grandma Smith came over on Saturday and we had our Bunny Day gifts. She came for breakfast and we opened our gifts. This is Kezy with all her loot. She made out good!

She got these crazy glasses from a neighbor of Grandmas, she wouldnt out them on, but Kevin did. Her favorite gift was a Dora kite.

Kevin got a basket ball and some tools. Kezy finally put her glasses on because daddy did:)

The Sacramento Zoo

Kevin was on spring break last week so we decided to have a little trip up to Sacramento. We went to the zoo . It was really fun. Here are some pictures:










Keziah wanted her baby to come to the zoo too. This is us getting ready to go in.




















The first thing we looked at were some ducks eating their food.















This is Keziah and daddy in front of the lemeurs. Most of the animals were laying around ready for their lunch.












Kevin and Keziah as kangaroos!

















Mommy and Keziah with the flamingos









Keziah loved the carousel. She had her eye on the giraffe, but as soon as she saw this Okapi, she for sure wanted it. Diego has an okapi on one of his episodes, she knew exaclty which one it was.

Baby Greta

Here is a little picture of baby Greta at 20 weeks. She is due June 19th!

I am a slacker...

When I saw that it has been a whole year since I updated my blog, I pretty much kicked myself. Oh well. He is an update from a year ago:Summer was great, we had lots of fun and went camping alot. We were at the farm quite a bit for Kevin to help out when they got swamped. Kevin had a huge 115 mile trek with the scouts in Aug that was a huge success. Christmas we spent on the farm. Keziah got a baby with a stroller, crib and high chair. We are expecting our second girl this summer! I'm currently 29 weeks. I have three months left. Kevin is graduating in May....Holy Cow I'm sooooo glad. Other than that, we are just livin life and doing all we can together.

Valentine Fun

We don't usually have a big to-do on Valentine's Day, but we all dressed up in red and went to Burger King for lunch. There is almost nobody at Burger King on V day. Its kind of our little joke.

This is Kezy being silly in her Valentines PJ's I guess we have PJ's for every holiday....hm.

Just showing some love...it is that kind of a day.

A Tribute To The Best Daddy Around

So, these days we don't see Kevin that often, so when we do, we have alot of fun!! Kevin is really good at spending his extra time with us. He is a great dad. He and Keziah just have a ball together. He spends alot of time teaching her things. Its really cute. This is a video of Kevin teaching Kezy how to pound it:












Maybe it was a little to hard that time. Kezy is known for being a little dramatic.

Kevin is taking 15 credits at school, he has really hard classes. He is working 40 hours at work. After all that and taking care of scouts and young mens, he still has time to be a great husband and father. He is really carrying our family right now, he is doing a great job.I know this time is hard for all of us, but if we just take a few moments to enjoy our family, the rewards abound. Kevin is the master at enjoying his family and Keziah and I would like to thank him for that. We love you Daddy!!

Christmas Eve PJ's

Mom got us these matching pj's it was way fun. We always open pj's on Christmas Eve.

They had a butt flap in the back. It was so funny.

She did look super cute in them though.

Keziah had plenty of treat all holiday long!!

Christmas Eve...ning

Rachel and Kezy made a truce of some sorts on this Christmas Eve. There was no biting or fighting, just playing and dancing

















Grandpa wasn't going to let the babies have all the fun!



















The boys were so dead from sleding and playing hard.

This was the first that Kezy was introduced to "Ring Around the Rosies" She loves it now and wants to play it several times a day.

This was Keziah opening her first christmas gift.

The Annual Christmas Eve Program

Every year my mom invites the whole of Dry Valley to Lee's house for a Christmas Eve program. We always have live animals, kids dressed up, singing, and treats!!

Jesse and Shayla as Joseph and Mary.

Kezy loved the animals

The Ice Queen

Kevin, Lee, and Dann took all the kids out sleding. They went up to Echo Dam and played on the ice. We borrowed this great snowsuit from ShaRee. At first she cried every minute while getting into this suit. But when she got out in the cold, she loved it!! She had so much padding that when she slipped and went down, she just laughed.

They pulled the sleds with the four wheeler and the pickup

She liked the ice more than sleding though

She always loves to play with daddy. It doesn't matter where or what.

She also loves her uncle Dann...from a distance.

A Frosty Date

Kev and I went with the youth in our ward ice skating. Boy was it cold. I usually decline doing anything outside in the winter time, but I decided to go out on a limb. It ended up being super fun. It was nice to be able to spend some time with Kev.

Anya and Charles were also there. Charles was just going to watch, but ended up getting out on the rink too.

I was pretty nervous at first. We walked to the entrance of the rink and Kevin went first. He went right out and did this crazy turn thing. That didn't really help my confidence. I got pretty good at the end, but I wasn't about to get crazy...that ice is hard!!

Where to begin???

Well, we didn't fall off the face of the earth after Thanksgiving. Keziah and I just went to the farm for a few weeks. This is Keziah if front of Grandma Mathews' Christmas tree. She is getting to be a big girl.
Before the whole family came, Kezy got a chance to warm up to Uncle Dann (who she never met
before). He was a bit intense for her fragile nature, but she warmed up pretty good.She eventually stopped running and screaming the other way:)'
Keziah enjoyed spending time with all her cousins. Here she is with Jocelyn and Kelsee eating fruit loops. Apparently they are Jocelyn's favorite so Uncle Truman started sharing with the rest of the girls.

After all the craziness and family left, we got to work on a snowman...not just any snow man...this one!! It attracted alot of attention in the valley. It sure was a project though. Here is a recap:
And there is your recap. Keziah had fun helping and loved playing in the reach lift. Grandpa Mathews got Kezy's runny nose so she would be comfortable in the reach lift.
