Easter & Update

The Easter Bunny came this year and brought the kids lots of treats. The kids were so excited to see all their treats that were left. Connor was even excited to look in his basket.


Since Easter was on Conference Sunday, the kids were able to wear their Easter outfits the week before to Church. Of course we had to get some pictures.

Here is a little update on each kid as they show off their Easter outfit...

Megan

Favorite color: purple (or violet)

Favorite thing to do when not doing homework: play on our swing set or with my brothers

Favorite treat: ice cream

Favorite movie: Barbie movies

Favorite dinner: Grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup

Favorite restaurant: Chuck-E-Cheese

Megan always seems to have so much energy. She did an excellent job at swimming lessons and is doing awesome at playing soccer. She listens so well to her coaches and is learning fast. Megan is doing great at school and comes home every day with the same report "school was fun." She loves her teachers and is currently in the fitness club at school. (Hopefully to get some more of that energy out) Megan is VERY creative. She can draw really well and is always wanting to make our garbage into some type of creation. I wish that I had her craftiness.

Bryson

Favorite color: Orange & Blue

Favorite Movie: The Bee Movie

Favorite Treat: Ice cream (also listed, bubble gum & popcorn)

Favorite dinner: Hot dogs, hamburgers & corn bread

Favorite thing to do: play on swing set

Bryson was just measured and weighed at the doctors. He weighed in at 37 pounds and is 39 inches tall. He loves to be by his little brother, he will hug him, wrestle him (which is a little too soon) & he even holds him tight so that he doesn't crawl to bonk his head. I know he means well, but I feel like I am constantly yelling at him to stop touching Connor. Bryson also loves to mirror his older sister. He wants to do everything that she does, and say what she says. (This too isn't always the best thing, for either kid) Bryson has recently started playing soccer as well. I think that he is getting the hang of the sport. Bryson has also mastered going potty in the toilet and has recently filled up his potty chart (another post) we are all so proud of him. We are now working on staying dry at night which seems to be half and half. But we can't say no if he wants to wear his big boys to bed. Bryson is also my little chef, he is always right next to me helping me cook in the kitchen. He would rather be cooking then playing. Maybe he will grow up to be a chef or baker! Bryson is my loving, and stubborn child. I would rather have him be loving but stubborn, unfortunately I think he got the stubbornness from me.

Connor

Favorite thing to do: get into things I'm not suppose to like DVDs, paper & food dropped on the floor.

Favorite Game: Peek a boo

Favorite food: loves everything that we give him, fruits, vegetables, whatever we are eating that night, even ice cream.

At Connor's 9 month check up these were his stats:

Height: 29 1/4 inches (75 %)

Weight: 18 pounds 11 ounces (25%)

Head circumference: 45 cm (50 %)

Connor is such a laid back kid. He loves to watch everything that is going on around him. He is still doing his army crawl/ worm move to get around. He is getting really quick and we definitely have to watch everything that we leave on the floor cause he will find it and eat it. He by far has been my best sleeper. He has been sleeping through the night probably from around 3 months old. He will wake up in the middle of the night every once in awhile, but I'm fine with that. He loves to laugh and we all love to make him laugh, especially his older brother and sister. He's learning how to wave bye-bye and blow kisses, and crawl. He loves to pull his socks off and suck on them with his thumb in his mouth. He is definitely loved in our family and we love watching all of his new achievements.
