4 months

I know he's almost 5 months but here are the little guys stats from 4 months. He weighed in at 14lbs and is 24 1/2 inches long. He is a great little guy although he's been a bit cranky and drooling like a faucet, I link he's trying to work on some teeth. He rolls like a pro and will roll himself in circles almost with his feet staying in one area and the rest of him moving around.

He also loves his toes

Here is a sweet video I took of Mason yesterday.

Dell is playing Coach Pitch this year and he's really enjoyed it. He still hasn't quite got the hang of what's suppose to happen or why he's suppose to do certain things (ie stand on the inside of 3rd base on outside the 3rd base line). When he hit the ball his first time up last week he hit his coach right in the gut and he and the coach though it was funny, and he earned himself an ice cream in doing so. Coach told them if anyone hit them they'd get a free ice cream and he didn't forget.

Horses

JD's parents have made the move from AZ to UT and are living about 20 minutes from us. They found a great place on 5 acres and about half of that is fenced corrals so when Dell's best buddy from school said they were selling their horses forced by a move out of state JD couldn't resist. We got a great deal on 2 mares. Dinah is a 7yr old Tennessee Walker/Thoroughbred that is just over 16 hands, she's a big girl but super gentle. Star is  5yr old papered Quarter horse and she's about 15 hands. She is considered green broke but JD has been able to saddle her and go for a ride, but she's not quite sure what she's suppose to do. JD's been doing a lot of ground training with her and we've started calling her a pocket pony because she will follow you around with her nose at our pockets or her head at sitting on our shoulder. The boys love the horses. Dell will sit on the side of the round pen and watch JD work with the horses for hours, and Mason says "go see Dinah, Star please" and then he'll ask to sit on her depending on which horse it out at the time. Ellie doesn't really care one way or the other she likes to see them, but doesn't enjoy watching them like the boys.

Ride a Bike

Miss Ellie has graduated from training wheels to the 2 wheeler. It took her a little while to get it, she was struggling with steering and peddling at the same time. If she peddled she'd crash because she wasn't watching where she was going or she's quit peddling and steer then she'd fall over because she wasn't moving. She's got it down now and loves to go out and ride.

Preschool

Ellie had a great year at preschool. She had an end of year program below are pictures from through out the year as well as a few from the program. She is very excited about starting Kindergarten this fall.

Easter

The kids had a great time dying eggs for Easter.
