Birthday Boys!

I have a great deal of blogging to do, so get ready for the posts to come fast and furious. I am starting with the boys birthday's. Poor Chase, his birthday was in April and I am just barely posting it, but that's how I roll so here it goes.

We started the day with a birthday pancake breakfast!

This was his favorite present from mommy and daddy and he had not stopped riding it since.

His one request was to go to Chuck E Cheese's. For those of you who know me well, it is NOT one of my favorite places, but how could I say no, it was his birthday after all. He had a blast!

Britton's Birthday!


Britton's birthday was in July and we were trying to make it through without having a baby before his big Super Mario Party (Korver came 4 days later).

These were the mushroom cupcakes!

This was the prize box they received if they passed all the levels of our water games.

Stars!

Part of the levels that they had to pass to move on to the next on. We had swimming, hula hooping, slip and slide and water balloon toss.

Britton in the Mario hats that we made!

Even his gifts were Mario.

Celebrating with Family.

His favorite present. He is becoming quite a good little roller bladder!

Happy Birthday Boys! I have the cutest 7 year old and 4 year old in the universe!

Introducing.....

On Tuesday, July 13, 2010 we welcomed Korver J. Moline to our family. He was born at 5:01pm weighing 7lbs 5oz and measuring 20 in long. We love our baby boy so much. He is pretty adorable if I do say so myself. Britton and Chase are in love with their new baby brother.... a little too much. They want to hold, touch, and kiss him a lot. I think they are sick of their mom saying things like "Don't get to close" and "Don't touch the baby". I am so happy that they like him so much though; they are going to be great big brothers. This summer has been a bit of a whirl wind trying to fit in vacations, getting ready for this baby to come, and having him arrive. I do have many pictures to share of our summer fun, so stay tuned. And you better believe that there will be a lot more pictures of this little guy.

Easter!

I love Easter: spring, flowers, candy, teaching my children about the Resurrection, and my handsome boys. This year we started off the weekend with a party at Grandma and Grandpa Moline's. I neglected to get pictures there, so I will have to get copies later from Grandpa Moline. That evening, we let Brady go to the Priesthood session of conference while we went to see "How to train my dragon". On Sunday, after conference, we had a get together with my family.

Here is the family. Try to ignore that I am looking a little fat in this picture. I am 6 months pregnant, so that must be my excuse, right?

Britton on the Easter Egg hunt.

Chase found a water gun, which was his favorite find, but he broke it a couple of days later! Good thing I know where to get one.

The boys got to wear their Easter outfits the week before Easter this year since Easter fell on conference weekend. It was hard for me to get a normal picture, since they just wanted to be silly.

I have some pretty darling boys if I do say so myself!

Happy Easter!!!

The Happening's of the Moline's

My picture feature is working again. Yay! I don't know what was going on for a couple of months, but now it is time to catch up.

St. Patty's Day!

St. Patrick's day is very important at our house because Shalynn is Irish, so she makes it quite festive. We had balloons, green decorations, all green food, green clothes, and treasure hunts. Tons of fun!

I don't know why these pictures came out so small!

Even I was festive.

Cute Britton.

Britton Playing Basketball!

He is quite the basketball player too. Last game he made 3 shots. Great Playing buddy!

Toothless!!

We went and saw How to train your dragon on Saturday and when we got home Britton wanted to pretend to be Toothless the dragon. That was a good idea, because about 1 hour later lo and behold...... he was toothless. At almost 7 years old, he finally lost his first tooth. He was very excited since most of his friends have already lost several. Congratulations!

Its a Boy!!!!

That is right. We will be having our third boy! With Brady counting for at least 2 boys and Britton and Chase as the 3rd and 4th; I feel like I am on to my 5th boy. Our house is pretty wild and crazy right now, but we are about to add to that. We are very excited to add our baby boy to our family in 3 months.

Why no pictures?

Okay, so my blog will not allow me to add pictures and I don't know why. I have all these pictures waiting to be posted and I can't do it. Any suggestions? It will let me add video, but not pictures and it has been this way for a few weeks.

Coming July 2010......

That's right! In July we will welcome a new member to our family. We are very excited, but currently living in survival mode. I have been sick, so we take care of the essentials everyday (eating, bathing, dressing, school, and sometimes we get to a load of laundry). Obviously, blogging has not been one of those essentials. The kids are a little indifferent about the news so far, but get a little more excited and ask a little more questions every day. When we first told them, Britton thought we were lying. I am not sure why because we don't often lie to our children, but he did not believe us. He now does and is excited that the baby will come shortly after his 7th birthday. Chase told me he will hold the baby and will not drop it! That is good to know. Brady is convinced it is a girl because I have been so sick,(I keep reminding him that I was sick with both the others too, it has just been harder this time because we have more going on in our lives). I am not even going there, because I am usually wrong and while I would LOVE a little girl, I also think there might be another boy waiting to join our family. We will just have to wait and see.

School, Soccer, and Bike riding!

Well, it is official, we are now ALL back in school, except for Brady who is back to work. With all this happening, life has been a bit crazy. But when is it not, right? Britton started Kindergarten this year and it was especially hard for me to send him. I really just want to keep him at home. It has been two weeks now and I still keep telling myself it is only temporary. What ever gets me through, right. Britton technically had two first days of school, so here is pictures of both......

I don't know about him, but this is how I felt about sending him to school.

Chase, Britton, and car pool buddy Ethan.

This is Chase's first day of preschool! He is in mommy's class this year and he has already voiced quite loudly that he wants to be in Brittney's class and play with Skyler. Poor kid, I mean he hardly ever gets to play with Skyler :)

Peace! This is what we are praying for with him in my class!

Besides school, Britton has been playing soccer!

And Chase anounced today that he was going to ride his bike without training wheels. Brady tried to help him for a few minutes, but Chase just got mad at him and told him he wanted to do it by himself. Brady came in and a few minutes later I looked out the window and guess what I saw?

My wild child 3 year old taught himself to ride his bike. Yay and Aaaaahhhhh!

By the way, we did put a shirt and helmet on him after this!
