March happenings

I have lots of random pictures from March so here goes:

At the beginning of the month, we babysit our friend Mike & Jen's little girl Sophie while they went on a cruise.  It wasn't too crazy having an extra kid around...especially because Sophie is so sweet and easy-going.  We went swimming a few times, played outside a lot, and had a great time.  

And we took Callie swimming for the first time too!  I am a germ-a-phobe with public pools so we didn't take her last summer when she was a newborn so she just barely went for her first time.  She LOVED it!  

We celebrated Brennan's birthday again with Nate's parents and Aaron & Samantha and kids.  For the occasion, I made minion cupcakes and the kids were really excited about them.  They LOVE Despicable Me...or as Brennan calls it, "Pickle Me."

Another day we were hanging out at my parents and I caught Aiden and Nate unintentionally doing the same pose. Those boys are just like their daddy in so many ways!

The library held a cute activity for kids called a "Night in Neverland."  We went with our friends, the Brewers, and enjoyed a funny photo booth, croc walk, shadow hunt, fishing pond, and hook toss.  The boys were excited to wear their pirate bandanas for the occasion.  

Aiden was especially happy to get to go with Paige's family because he has a huge crush on her :) 

We stuck Callie in the teepee too and she thought it was pretty cool. I love when she claps for herself!

On another random day, we met Nate for a lunch date at Marleys. It was fun to meet up with him in the middle of the day.

Callie is now SUPER mobile - crawling all over and standing up to everything.  When did get so grown up?!

Church is a little hard now.  She just wants to crawl around and explore instead of sitting in our laps.  Only 8 more months until nursery!

There were so many beautiful weather days this March so we hung out a lot outside. Some of the older girls in the neighborhood love coming by to play with Callie.  Callie loves the attention.

Too much love from Brennan like usual. :)

On St. Patrick's day, we made sure to have the kids wear green and we had a yummy green breakfast.  Here are their kids in their green attire:

We also celebrated St. Patty's day with the annual Blackham family Irish dinner, complete with corned beef and cabbage and the Irish trivia game.   It was gorgeous weather again so the kids loved playing in my grandma's yard.

We also sung to all the March birthdays there so Brennan had another birthday celebration. Each birthday celebration he thinks he gets a year older.  The second time we celebrated his birthday this month he asked, "So now I'm 5?!" and the third time he asked, "So now I'm 6?!" It was so funny that he thought he kept getting older each time.

This month I also got to go to an awesome girl's night with all the wives of the guys in Nate's office.  I love that we get together every couple of months. We did Jamberry nails and now I'm hooked!  It was such a fun night with girl talk, treats, and being pampered.

Steve came back from Brazil!  Rayane and him have been working on their immigration papers so all four of them could move up here but it takes a few months to process...so in the meantime, Steve decided to come up to work and make lots of money to prepare for his family to come up.  So hopefully within a few months his family will be here! I am excited Steve is around again and that I have a sibling here in Utah again!

A couple more random pics cause I love these kiddos:
