Previous Month Recap (click on the pictures if they are hard to see)-
February seemed to fly by. We had a lot of fun though. These pictures are not really in order, but they give you a good idea of what we (mostly the kids) have been up to.
Near the END of the month...it SNOWED! It was crazy. I was ready for spring and all the sudden there was snow. It was a lot of fun, because David didn't have to go to work and we had a whole day (that is as long as it lasted before melting) to play together! We played for awhile in our yard with our awesome neighbors and then headed to Grandma and Grandpa Marchant's to play with cousins.
Colby liked the snow more than I thought he would and lasted longer than I thought he would. He is a trooper.
Connor and Andrew tried to get Alan with a snowball. The plan backfired!
I think this is the cutest picture ever (Thanks Tina). All the older cousins are trying to get Colby back up the hill. I love it!
Colby LOVED being on the sleds. He could relax and watch every one else get tired.
Colby has a new favorite thing: falling down. He climbs on EVERYTHING and falls ALL the time. He also likes to run into doors and walls. Seriously...this kid is CRAZY! Today alone he has two new bonks on the head. What am I going to do with him?
David and I invited my parents over for game night. It is always fun when they come over. They are fun and crazy (like me!). I love them too much...and so do my kids.
We inherited a Hot Tub from David's parents, who didn't use it anymore. We go in ALL the time. The boys love it. This particular time I decided to spike Colby's hair to see how long it really was. I gave him a hair cut the next day.
Connor and I made masks. He picked out a mask book from the Library and just HAD to make one.
My Mom's 4th grade class has swimming lessons this month, so she had Jessica and I bring the grandson's to swim. They loved it. (cousin Jet and Connor)
Colby was having a grand old time until I put a life jacket on him. He got flipped over onto his stomach with his head in the water and the life jacket was holding him in that position. It was very scary, as he was flailing around for awhile! Right when I saw him I ran in (clothes and all) and picked up a screaming, very scared little guy. It took a lot of coxing to get him to play again.
We got to host Connor's preschool group again. He loves pre-school and all the kids in it. He is on this marriage kick (silly kid), and frequently tells me that he might one day marry one of the girls from pre-school (or Olivia). I tell him he needs to think about 4 year old things and worry about who he will marry AFTER his mission. You hear lots of Moms say their daughters are 4 going on 16...well, that is Connor. He is a very smart, and grown up boy. Sometimes I wish he didn't catch on to things so fast.
This particular day we learned about Polar Bears and hibernation. The kids got to pretend they were Bears and hibernate under the kitchen table. They had lots of fun!
We had a Potty Party for Colby! I want to get him ready for potty training, and with so many friends in the same boat, I thought it would be fun to get together. Don't laugh at my game. I think it is AWESOME! haha.
And here is my little Colby pretending to go in the potty. He loves to sit on the toilet as long as he has something to read. Takes after Daddy I guess :).
We did a Potty coloring page and also had snacks. It was a fun time. I love that I can get together with friends and their kids since we are all in the same stage in life.
I am excited for what the next month will bring and I HOPE it will fly by because...HAILEY WILL BE HOME ON APRIL 7th. YAHOO! I will keep you posted.

I am laughing my head off at Pin the Poo in the Potty. I dunno...even touching the paper seems kind of yucky! ;)
Love your posts! It's been a long time since I followed the blogs. It made me miss all the Marchants and Durfees! You have the cutiest boys and a great family! Sending love from the Olsons
