Taydom and the horse

The kids were watching cartoons and playing and I noticed that Taydom was ridding the sick horse and making horse noises. It was too cute I had to get a video. Of coarse they never want to perform on comand but she did pretty well.

Easter Fun

This year for Easter we got to go to Stephanie's Grandma's house in Idaho Falls. It was great to spend time with family. All of Stephanie's family was able to be there, except for Dan of coarse cause he is on his mission. We all got together on Saturday afternoon. It was great for the girls to get to spend sometime with their cousin Benjamin. They really love him and think it is great to have a new playmate. They also loved spending time with Grandma and Papa Ostler. They came early to spend more time with the kids. KaileeJo loves going for rides in Papa's truck. Especially when the go to get a soda. Taydom was really excited to see Grandma. They got in early Friday morning, about 4 am, and Taydom was up being unhappy so Grandma came down to see if she could take Taydom so mom could sleep. When Taydom saw Grandma it was priceless. Her eyes got really big and she even did a double take. She was soo excited to see Grandma. It was really great to have them here and we can't wait for the next visit.

Easter morning the kids got to find the Easter eggs that were all over Great Grandma's living room. KaileeJo had such a good time. It was really interesting to watch her find the eggs. She gets distracted really easily. Taydom also had a good time with the eggs and she really enjoyed putting them in the cartons after we were done.

We had an amazing Easter being with family and listening to the words of living Prophets. Conference was wonderful. It was a special experience having it on Easter.

Sorry no videos

I have been trying for a while to get videos to load on our blog and they will say that they are loading for over and hour and then I just give up. They aren't even that big. I don't know what the deal is but I hope it get solved fast. In the mean time here are a few pics of what has been going on lately.

Taydom has been into climbing into things and getting stuck. KaileeJo has been doing everything Taydom is doing that we think is funny.

These were all separate occasions.

On Friday night we had a snow storm come through that left about 2 inches of snow. We knew that Saturday was going to get warm so we decided to let the kids stay up late and play in the snow. It was after 10 pm before they went to bed. I was telling Adam that it is too bad that the kids don't appreciate how cool of a parent we are being cause they won't remember this. Oh well we still had a lot of fun.

Peek-a-Boo

One of Taydom's favorite games is Peek-a-Boo. This time she thought she would take the game to a new level and use her clothing instead of just her hands to hide behind. She could play this all day long if her parents were able to endure it.

The Play Room

This is one of our favorite features in our new house. We made the bedroom right off of the living room into a play room. The kids love it there and we love them in there. It is great to have a place for all the toys where the kids can just play.

What happens when Mom is in the shower.

I came out of the shower on Friday and found Taydom trying to get books from the next shelf up. Apparently the English and the Spanish dictionaries weren't interesting enough for her. KaileeJo was quick to join in the fun when the camera came out. Too bad this isn't an isolated incidence. Earlier in the week I came out to the kids watching a different video then the one they were when I went into the shower. That mystery was later solved when KaileeJo, very proud of herself, showed me how she can change the videos "myself". This was surprising to me since the DVD player is more than five feet from the ground.

Taydom turns 1!!!

Taydom turned one on the 24th. Since that was a Wednesday (the busiest day of the week for us) we decided to celebrate on Saturday. We had lots of fun! Aunt Lizzy was able to come and spend the weekend with us which was great. Taydom had soo much fun opening her presents. KaileeJo had fun helping too.

This one is from Aunt Liz. Thanks Liz!!

Reading some books Taydom got and wearing the shirts from Grandma and Grandpa Ostler.

More presents!! Taydom got the swing from Adam and I for her birthday. She loves it and we can't wait until it gets warm enough to spend some quality swinging time.


Yummy Yummy cake. She had a great time eating the cake. She really like the frosting and loved squishing her hands in the cake.

We are so blessed to have Taydom in our lives. She is an absolute joy.
