It seems like life has been really busy lately and blogging seems to be the last thing on my to do list, so it always gets put off. So here is an update of our lives this past month.
Jakob started Little League Baseball the beginning of March. Baseball is one of my most favorite sports (probably because it's the only one I understand), so it has been fun to go to Jakob's games and he is very excited to play coach-pitch this year. He has been doing an awesome job for being one of the youngest and smallest kids on his team. He has been playing catcher, pitcher and outfield and was extremely excited to have his 1st turn at 2nd base at his last game. I am a horrible mom and have not taken any pictures yet, so I will have to post those later. I guess that is what happens when your hubby is the score keeper and you have a busy toddler that doesn't sit still for 2 seconds and a 4 year old that whines about going to the park and snack shack as soon as we arrive at the baseball fields and doesn't stop until you give in!
Jakob also started his track break the beginning of March and we kicked it off with a day at Pump It Up (also don't have any pictures of that-I already have too many from our previous visits). We spent a day at our favorite park in Boulder City, had a few sleepovers with cousins who were also on track break, and then the rest of the break was spent playing outside with friends and helping Mom and Dad in the backyard.
Yes, we (or should I say Wade) has spent the past month spending his days off in the backyard. I am happy to say that it is finally done, except for a few minor details, but I am so excited to finally be rid of all the dirt and rocks that were getting tracked through the house and to have a beautiful backyard to enjoy for a few weeks before it gets too hot! Wade did an amazing job and I am always amazed at how much he knows and can do-I am a lucky girl to have such a talented and handy husband. Thank you babe!
We had lots of "help" from all of the neighbor kids. I know it was driving Wade nuts have a million kids scattering his dirt pile everywhere, but he let them live it up while they could! And a big thanks to our wonderful neighbor Joel, who helped Wade out several times!
Wade haulin' in the dirt!
Hannah was loving being outside and getting dirty! Onto my next reason why my posts are so few and far between-Hannah. My sweet, little angel baby has turned into a Holy Terror! I really hope it is a phase she is going through right now, but it seems like for the past 2-3 weeks all she wants to do is be held and walked around and if she's not doing that, she is hanging on my leg crying. Unfortunately, since Wade has to sleep during the day, it is really hard for me to just ignore her and let her cry, because than he gets woken up, but somethings gotta change, because my nerves are beyond fried by the end of each day! She is still busy as ever and loves to get into everything. This is what I found today, as I was trying to fix dinner, she was doing what she does best, making a mess for me to clean up (as if I don't have enough to do already)! She got in her closet, got out the wipes and had a blast pulling them out 1 by 1. When I found her, she gave me her biggest, cheesiest smile and I could help but laugh and give her a big kiss and a squeeze! I feel like I have a seriuosly love-hate (or should I say dislike) relationship with her right now. She is lucky she is so dang cute!
Litttle stinker!Hopefully now I will be able to stay caught up and try to be better at taking more pictures to capture these moments that I know I will look back on and appreciate!

It was good to see you guys the other day and fun to read an update. I am glad your yard is done..now to get ours done! I also wanted to say if you ever need a break let me know, I know it can be so hard with three kids and getting things done, let me help if you need it! Talk to you soon!
Thanks for the update. I'm happy you have your backyard in. You'll have to post some pictures of the finished product.
I hear you about the ballpark. Been there, done that. I can't wait till I don't have toddlers anymore and can just enjoy the game.
Hannah is so cute! Owen has loved to do the wipe thing, in fact he still does. I have to keep the wipes up high so he can't destroy them.
How funny...I'm on my way to the store in a few minutes to get more wipes. Bella did they same thing today, except she put them all in the toilet! Thank you so much for watching her while the guys went to Monster Trucks! Also, thanks for feeding them. It's probably the only decent meal they had all weekend!
I swear every kid gets into the wipes and scatters them everywhere at least once in their lifetime!:) Thanks for the update! I'm glad Jakob is loving baseball and I can't wait to see the backyard... I'm sure it looks awesome! I bet you're happy it's all done! :)
I say the same thing to my girls all the time,"Good thing you're cute, because you are not always nice!" It's a girl thing I swear!
Hannah's hair is getting long! I like her cute pig tails! Afton and I are planning on coming out for the fair so we will probably see you guys next week. Can't wait!
I was hoping to see an after shot of your yard, just so that I could dream of what my dirt could some day look like. That picture of the kleenex all over brings much dejavu (if that's how you spell it). Kayla and Shawn were always doing that... luckily that stage has passed.
