April

We were early for church one Sunday! It was a miracle. So we got a picture of everyone's outfit.

 Libby

 Mckay

 Dustin's Mom recently got back into crocheting. So she is working on making all of the grandchildren special blankets. Here are our kids one night snuggled in theirs.

 A couple of days before Easter Laura came over to play and we dyed eggs.

 

 After we dyed the eggs we had tea party and ate our eggs.

 Easter morning following the jelly bean trail left by the Easter Bunny,

 that led to new bean bag chairs, Frozen and some swim suits.

 Trevin's first grad class participated in the Bard's Bash this year. They learned a small part of Midsummers Night Dream. Trevin was Lysander.

 

 They preformed it at the school and then on the real stage in the Adams Theatre.

 I was elected as a State Delegate for the Utah Republican Party, and so was my mom, so we went to Salt Lake to attend the convention.

On the way up we stopped in at Cracker Barrel in Springville. When Dustin was going to BYU we lived in Springville and ate at Cracker Barrel all the time, so it was fun to go back.

After the convention we stopped at my parents hotel and who was in the Lobby on our way up? Anna and Elsa! Libby was in Heaven! (they were hired for a birthday party at the hotel but were nice enough to take a picture and talk with Libby on their way out). 

 On Sunday we toured Temple Square.

 

The Stripling Warriors are Trevin's favorite! 

 

 On the way home we stopped in Woodland Hills at my Aunt Susie's house to visit with her and my Grandma Murray who was staying there.

 Uncle Les had just gotten some chickens and Trevin and Libby checked them out.

 And finally at the end of April it was Mckay's first birthday!

 Birthday morning doughnut. I'm getting really bad at birthday pancakes.

 

 Watching the cupcakes bake.

 Mckay didn't want much to do with the cake. He mostly just liked the candle.

Kai, Libby and Brylynne: cousins just hanging out having some cake and ice cream. 

The big kids were more excited about the new toys than Mckay, and Heath is always willing to put them together and play along.



March and possibly some of April

I didn't keep very good track of what happened in March. So here are a few snapshots that I think I took (or my mom took) during March but I very well could have taken in April.

Mckay got his first teeth and he loved showing them off (and grinding them together, ahh! - shudder).

When the weather started warming up Trev couldn't wait to get out in the yard and do some work with his heavy equipment.

Mckay started walking around while holding onto furniture. He loved to watch Trevin and Libby play outside.

Libby and Mckay riding around the house.

This is what Libby looks like when she and Trevin pick her outfit. She has both legs through one leg of her skirt/shorts.

For most of January through March Mckay was sick. He had some serious stomach issues. He would only drink formula and wouldn't eat anything! He went from one stomach bug to another. He got down to the .06 percentile for weight. We were really nervous! But he got over it and is doing great now! I took this picture because it was a perfect illustration of Mckay's sick days, bottle constantly in the mouth and poop constantly streaming out of his diaper (notice the floor underneath him).

Libby's St. Patrick's day headband.

Trevin with his first ever Science Fair Project.

Laura got 3rd place in her Science Fair.

Kenny got his mission call to Calgary Canada.

And a bowling trip with the family. Why does Libby do this in pictures, why?
