My Disney Channel junkie

My Chayce man cracks me up. He loves to follow along and join in with the Disney channel shows. I just watched him raise his hands as high as they go and say "blast off". Made my day:)

Zoo Day

We took our trip to the Zoo with Grandma a few weeks ago and had a great time!  It was stormy all morning and right when we got there the sun came out and it was beautiful weather!  It kept the crowds away too so it was a nice, quiet afternoon!  Thanks Grandma for another fun day!

There's a little baby monkey on its Mom's back in this picture...so sweet.

 

 The next day at preschool Peyton talked about Elephants at their own "Zoo".  He learned that elephants drink 50 gallons of water a day, they cover themselves in mud to stay cool and they have 26 teeth which they lose six times! 

Easter

 Easter weekend was BEAUTIFUL!  We enjoyed a great day Saturday with family.  Grandma Shoell sadly got sick and has spent some time in the hospital, but otherwise it was a very nice weekend.  The Ercanbrack boys invented "dodge ball" on the four wheelers.  Sure wish I had a video, but it just means they have to do it again :)  We had a great little Family Home Evening lesson on the Atonement.  So neat to teach our boys about our Savior and how to be more like Him. 

Daughter...

This is our first dressed-up Mommy/Daughter picture.  I am so smitten by this little girl.  She has been so much fun to have.  One of the highlights of my day is having a conversation with her and having her smile at me...I know she knows who I am and how much I love her.  With the boys I have expectations for them to be just like their Dad...and I hope they follow his example.  With Kate I have some expectations to live up to myself...I hope she'll choose good things throughout her life and want to live up to her potential.

Birthday Cowboy Style

Five years old...have loved every day with this boy.  His four year old year was spent being a cowboy...wonder if it's in his blood :)  So fitting for us to have a cowboy night for this boy.

 Thanks for the help on the cake Lisa.  It turned out great!

 We asked everyone to dress up in their cowboy get-up.  Grandpa rose to the challenge!  Belt buckle and all!

 Best buds.  I wish I had a picture of McKay and Davy like this.  We need to raid their Mom's houses and find some of their earliest pictures together.  I hope these two develop the kind of relationship McKay and Davy have.

 Do you think they'd have made the cut for Tombstone :)

 And yes I joined the family theme and bought myself a pair of Stetsons when Reams was going out of business. 

 Nothing like a brother...

 Or an aunt Chels...she bought the boys both pairs of boots they are wearing.  Talk about spoiling my kids ROTTEN!

 A cowgirl and her ranch hands...

We sure love you little partner!

 

Asher

Sweet Baby Asher was born on March 21st.  He was a little guy (6 pounds) and came pretty quickly for Melis.  So happy to have him here healthy!

 I have a feeling these two are going to be great friends...(along with baby Jerz)

Blessed

 3.12.12...

"Sent to this earth, you were saved through the ages for this day and time.  Child of great worth...child of promise, daughter of the Divine.  Pure and holy in a little white dress.  You were held in a circle...and you were blessed.  And the Father looked down...and the angels surrounded that place.  They knew the truth, all that you could do.  And you will too...if you have eyes to see, What Heaven Sees in You."  - Doug Walker
 

 

McKay gave our little girl a beautiful blessing.  So proud to be his wife and so honored to be her Mommy.
