Chloe and Her Truck

So you may remember that a friend of ours gave our family a truck that is the most popular toy we have!It is not at all unusual for Gideon, Tirzah and Chloe to be playing on it at once. One inside, one in the back and one on top. Well, recently we had cousin Ellie over and Chloe was not at all interested in sharing the coveted truck with her cousin...Ellie was gracious and sweet and found other things to do...

My truck!!!

You snooze you lose...

 Chloe swooped in and shoved her cousin out...

And she shut the door so there was no room for more than one person!

Cute Cousins

So Isaiah and Chloe got some time to play in the grass this past weekend and they were just too cute for their Mommies not to take pictures...and they matched a bit with their green check.

 One picture they were both looking for!

 So, does it taste good Isaiah? My Mommy always tells me not to eat grass...

 It's okay tasting...I think it tastes good!

Shelor Brothers and the 2012 Girls

Joshua's youngest brother Daniel, his wife Alaina and baby April has been in town for a brief visit and it has been nice for our children to all play and catch up. Below are the three brothers and their three daughters all born last year! Aren't they all beautiful?

Benjamin and Ellie, Joshua and Chloe, Daniel and April

Joshua and Gideon got to help Daniel make an amazing table from a tree that the boys cut down last week. Look at that wood isn't it beautiful?? I think he has some leftover to make another one...the Shelor guys love to work with their hands...

Beautiful happy girl!

Spring Fling

At Joshua's school they have a spring party called spring fling. They have free food and yummy ice cream made nearby at Homestead Creamery! Joshua's mom came with me to help with the kids and we met Joshua for lunch! My sister Beth and Isaiah came as well. We walked around seeing what students are up to and met Joshua's fellow teachers and students.

Yummy Ice cream!

Beth taught me how to moby wrap with a piece of fabric I had laying around! It's great!

My kids don't like cotton candy...I do!

Cousins and a Trip to the Fire Station

Last week we went and visited Uncle Zach at the firestation and he gave us a wonderful tour of the station and how everything worked. We learned about the fire engine and the ambulance, got to see someone slide down the pole. It was so much fun! I even learned!

All the kids inside

We were joined by Crystal and her kids, Beth and Isaiah, my Mom and the three youngest children so we had quite the little group! Zach was such a great teacher!

Uncle Zach's fire truck

Earlier the three little cousins had some time playing...mom's comparing as we all do...and just generally enjoying the babies! Asher is Zach and Amy's baby and he is younger than Chloe by a month and then Isaiah is Beth and Brandon's baby and younger than Chloe by three months...you can't tell since he is quite the chunk!

Cousin Judah's Birthday

This past weekend we were able to spend time with Joshua's parents and his older brother Benjamin, his wife Jamie and their two children. It was so fun to see all the cousins play. Ellie and Chloe are both such happy babies. We had an egg hunt for the kids, had good meals, made doughnuts and just had a good time!

This truck was quite the desired toy this past weekend.

Looking for eggs, Gideon definitely found the most

Okay, enough of that.

Day with the Trains

For Cousin Judah's Birthday we went to the Transportation Museum with Grandma and Grandpa one afternoon last week. It was quite a fun time had by all seeing big trains and little model trains and learning all about them!
