More Pictures!

I've been trying to organize my pictures.  Taking them from off my phone and iPod and putting them on the computer and I keep finding ones that people might enjoy.  So here's a few more.

 Luke with the Hulk hand!

 Luke inside a tire while waiting for the oil change.

 Nothing like cousin baths!  This was the last co-ed bath... we've decided that Lael and Peyton are getting too old to bathe together.

 Peyton being so sweet and giving loves to the cat.

 The three boys going to great grandma Iverson's house.

 Grandpa Iverson helping Luke find eggs

 Peyton finding eggs.  We did a Easter egg hunt at my grandma Iverson's house this year.  Growing up we did them every year there and it is such a fond memory and so it was such a special thing for me to be able to do it with my kids!

 Peyton with his mini Louisville Slugger bat Grandpa and Gramma Iverson got him.

 Luke learning learning to be a Harley boy already!

At my grandma Iverson's house, my dad and brother-in-law Nathan got my grandpa's 1969 John Deere up and running and then they took everyone out on it.  My dad showed us how it can do pretty awesome donuts!!  I drove it too and it was a lot of fun!  It was a great and special moment to see my dad driving my grandpa's tractor and riding with his daughters and grandkids!

Kittens

My sister's cat had 6 kittens and since we are over there at least once a week, we get to see them and Peyton is so cute with them!! He is so soft and gently and loving. He talks to them and tells the momma cat that it's okay if the babies are crying. I really really have enjoyed spending time with Peyton and the kittens. I often feel like he's a lot like Stephen and not much me and sometimes feel like I don't know how to play and bond with him but his gentleness and love for kitties is totally from me and we bond over it! Kinda wierd and cheesy I LOVE it!! Luke likes them and will pick one up but then get scared and drop it so I've gotta watch him pretty close with them! =)

 Lael keeping the kitten warm

Keeping the cat safe by buckling her up!  haha  And she actually stayed for them!

Peyton's 4th Birthday!

Peyton turned 4 years old!I don't know how he grew up so fast but he has!  I still can't believe how big and smart he is!  

 Peyton's new scooter that he got for his birthday that he loves!

Pictures as usual =)

The boys watching tv with daddy after bathtime.   I love all three of them!!

This is Luke's smile these days ... he blinks his eyes!  Love it!!!  This picture was Easter morning.

 We dyed Easter eggs and they are suppose to showing them for a picture and this is what turned out =)

 Peyton wanted to run in the sprinklers across the street at the park one morning and this is how he dressed himself to go.  It was windy and cold so needless to say, running in the sprinlers let along being outside didn't last very long!

 Peyton has this thing for pillowcases (and he has his favorite ones/fabrics).  We put pillowcases on each end of the pillow so they can hang off enough for him to play with them and one naptime, I went in and found him like this with his pillowcases in both hands!

 Boys trying their new floatie out in the bathtub.

 I don't know how to get this picture to turn right ... I was trying on shoes at the store and he wanted to try them on too.  He picked these and loved them and really wanted me to buy them.  I asked him where I would wear them and he said 'walking'!  Haha!!

 These are Peyton wearing the runnings shoes I DID get!!

Luke opened some of my nail polish and 'painted' his nails!!  Suprisingly he only got it on his fingers and not anywhere else!

Trip to Louisville!

The end of April I was able to go and visit Derek (my older brother) and his wife and their two girls in Louisville, Kentucky!  I didn't take my kids so it was just me and it was a really nice break and vacation for me!  I had such a good time hanging out with Derek and Kelly and getting to know their beautiful daughters.  It really made me sad to leave!  I have more pictures but left my camera there and they have sinced moved and haven't had time to send it yet so more pictures to come ... hopefully soon!  Derek got a sweet little sports car which we went on many drives in and it was a great time to visit with my brother which I haven't done much of lately.  I got to go visit my mission president and his wife which was such a good time and I loved getting to see them! 

 Me with Ava at the Old Spagehetti Factory in this really awesome building in downtown Lousiville.

 My sister in law is an amazing violinist (and artist) and is teaching Sophie how to play the violin.  They mostly are working on the form.

 Ava has such long pretty fingers that I had to take a picture of them (yeah, I know I am wierd!)

 Ava with a mouth full of grapes!

 Ava doing what kids do best, being silly!

 Sophie after bathtime.

 Sophie and I - I love her so much and she loves my iPod to play games on!! =)  ha ha!!

Derek with Sophie.  I absolutely love seeing my brothers with their children!  It's just so neat to see them in that role and they suprise me with how well they do with their children!  =)

What's wrong with this picture???

Shouldn't the baby brother be in the high chair and the big boy brother at the table on a real chair?

Guess not!

Valentine's Day

Peyton making a Valentine for daddy at Gramma Iverson's

Luke eating the crayons.

My 20 balloons that the boys gave to me for Valentine's day!  (Notice how excited Peyton is; or isn't)  ha ha

Luke sure enjoyed his special V-day drink!  Don't worry, it was only apple-grape juice.

Stephen and Peyton toasting over our candle-lit dinner.  Peyton kept wanting to clink everyones glasses.  We didn't have anything special for dinner but added the candles and wine glasses to make it special.  The boys of course kept trying to blow the candles out; Peyton would sigh heavily or breathe hard hoping it would blow the flame out.  It was kinda funny how he was trying to be sneaky.

I had bought some toys on a really good deal the night before so decided to wrap them and give them as V-day gifts.  They were too advanced for Luke but Peyton LOVED them!
