Shoshone falls

With all the flooding going on in the whole eastern side of the state we headed over to Twin Falls to see the waterfalls. Did you know that Shoshone Falls is taller than Niagara? By about 45 feet. Crazy right?

There's a construction cone on this mountain. it's towards the top left, under the blue patch of sky.

Here's a close up of it. Who put it there?

Grandpa decided to be adventurous and climb up a mountain with 7 and 5 year old. :)

Here they are coming down.

View from the top of the falls -you can see down the canyon-

Kind of a side view of it and the upper falls

There's a lot of mist so it's hard to see how far down it goes.

To get to this part you have to go down stairs and I didn't want to haul Rea down there so she hung out with me for a while and grandma switched me spots. Now I'm kicking myself cuz she's not in the family photo!

Here she is just hanging out. :)

(L-R)Grandma in the blue striped shirt then grandpa and cory-- kiddos are in front of the adults.

People have houses on the north side of the canyon. It's a pretty view but I would be in the potty every 10 minutes because of the water sound!

The falls were really pretty I just wish the weather would have been better, it was really over cast and started to rain just as we got into the car.

Wi-Ck-eD

Last Thursday my two sisters, mom, dad, and I were able to go to see the musical Wicked. IT was AWESOME!!!! LOve LOVE LOved it! We bought tickets through cory's old work last April and were planning on having everyone come stay with us...yeah that's hard when there's someone living in your house. Cory had some meetings that week in Boise with the credit union league (or something) So it worked out perfectly for me to stay with him in the hotel plus he could watch the kiddos! My parents pricelined their hotel and got one right up the street from us. My parents drove to Am Falls with my sisters and my nephew then we put Brooklyn and Logan in the car with my parents and us sisters and the 2 babies rode in my car. We had some good giggles. My little sister is hilarious. We were listening to the soundtrack of wicked and we would be talking or just listening to the songs then my sister would bust out singing a few lines. Soo random and soo funny! haha. Love you Christie!

Back to the musical--Our seats were up towards the top but they weren't horrible. My mom brought binoculars so when you looked through those you could see the details of the costumes and the sets, so awesome. They moved the sets so quickly it was amazing, the songs are great, like I said the costumes-ahh I want to see it again now. I've been listening to the soundtrack since I found out we were going (a year ago) and I'm probably going to listen to it for another year! Sorry honey I know I drive you crazy with singing it--invest in some earplugs! :)

AWWW-- the parents how cute are they?!

These photos are from my cell and are awful! We couldn't get a good one!

Happy Birthday Brooklyn

Brooklyn turns 5 today! Big girl already. On Friday I told her that her birthday was on Monday and she asked if that's when she starts school. So cute. I think she's excited for it and a little scared. It will be good for her. We have an orientation Wednesday night that we'll take her to so she can see where the classrooms are and everything.

Her room decorated.

I made her a bag for church so she could carry the children's songbook she got.

She got an awesome barbie bike. It has a little bike on the handle bars so you can put a barbie in it and she can "ride" with you.

She LOVES tangled. She received two dollies from both grandparents. She's been packing them around everywhere.

I asked her what cake she wanted and she said a cake with Easter eggs, puppies, cinnamon rolls and dinner rolls on it. yeeeaaah... So I suggested a pony cake and she was all for it. It was my first time playing with fondant and gumpaste-nasty stuff. I didn't get the cake perfectly smooth so my fondants all lumpy-whatever, it's just going to get cut and eaten. I didn't get a pic of the inside but i did 6 layers each a color of the rainbow. I found this idea at make it and love it but her cake is so perfect-so don't go look at it! ;)

Happy Birthday little "big" girl. Love you tonz!

Easter

We had a bbq the day before Easter and had an Easter egg hunt for the kids cuz our yard is perfect for it! We were planning on having a bunch of people come over but a few families had some issues come up last second so we had one family come and my sis and bro in law were awesome enough to come down last second (thanks amy and rob!!!)

I love how my kids cooperate when I ask them to show me their bucket of eggs. Logan- "here it is mom." Thanks dude. Brooklyn wasn't much better... :)

Easter afternoon. We did baskets after church cuz doing it before with church at 9. Don't think so.

Logan found his in the "porch room"

Brooklyn's was in the exersaucer
Logan flashing gang signs.
Love trying to get a photo with a baby and 2 goofy kids. :)


I made Brooklyn and Reagan the same church clothes. The flowers are removable that way it's easier to wash and I can put different colored flowers on the shirt.
