Blankets and More Blankets.

Our kids have never really had a comfort toy or comfort blanket, but they love to wrap a blanket around them and run around the house. Here are some pics of Jaxen and Gracie running around wrapped in their blankets.

The great outdoors

The last 2 weeks have been nice at our house. Temperatures were in the 60's and 70's, so of course everyone wanted to be outside. We had some friends and family give us a swing set, castle and playhouse. Our kids love them and play with them for hours. Here are some pictures. Jaxen, Joshua and Gracie are also trying out new flavors of dirt. I guess it isn't so bad because they do need vitamins and minerals.

Easter Part 2

Here are the kids in their new Easter outfits. Aren't they cute? I went with a blue theme this year, so all the kids would match somehow. Thanks to Target (one of my favorite places to shop) for their cute dresses and shirts this year.

Happy Easter Part 1

Easter morning when the kids found their Easter Baskets. They were simple, but the kids were excited. My apologies to Jaxen, but when the pics were taken, he was in the bathroom getting a bath after I nice big blowout in his diaper.

Decorating Easter Eggs!

The Thursday before Easter we decorated easter eggs, because we were supposed to go to Chicago that weekend for a vacation/temple trip. Unfortunatly, due to the Snow storm our trip was postponed. Each person had two eggs to decorate any color they wanted. As you can see, by the end of the activity each egg looked as though it had been through a war zone, but they all had fun. Joshua even tried to eat his shell and all.

Cha Cha Cha!

I was going through summer clothes for this year and found this dress that Grandma Jean Ann bought last year for Morgan. Wow, can you believe that Morgan was Gracie's age when the triplets were born, and that was just 20 months ago. Time does seem to go by fast when you are looking backwards, but not when you are looking forwards. Gracie loves to dress up and play with dolls. As Ryan says, "She is such a girl."

Morgan "Maddison" MacPherson

First a note about the title: Morgan is learning her full name. She does pretty good with her first and last, but when you ask her her middle name she always adds the M to the front and says Morgan Maddison MacPherson.

Anyway, here are some pictures of Morgan during a general day. She loves to hold Rachel and since thinks that she is her own personal doll, we have to keep a close eye on where Rachel is at all times. Otherwise, she tends to be sat one, rolled on, picked up, pulled out. Etc.




Here is the story: Morgan was walking the dogs. During the walk, they saw a cat and started to run after it. Poor Morgan couldn't keep up and she fell onto some rocks and scratched her face. The next morning, when I was doing her hair she saw the scratch for the first time and needed a bandaid. She climbed into the Kitchen and put it on herself. Isn't she adorable?


We were taking pictures of Gracie in her Spanish dress and Morgan wanted to pose for the camera as well. She no longer runs the other way when a camera comes out.
