March, (before Vienna's B-day Party and Easter)

March has been good to us, we have been SO busy with becoming business owners (who knew there could be so much to do???) along with packing our home, finishing the paperwork to sell our home and buy our new home, not to mention all the festivities that happened during the month and did I mention packing? We still managed to enjoy the time we have and make the most of every (literally every) minute.

We had a leprechaun bring us special lucky charms cereal (this is a real treat) and gave us green milk

For dinner we managed to find and eat several things that were naturally green, instead of using food coloring, so that was nice.

The kids looked so cute all decked out in green stuff!

We went up to Spokane to take care of some business and got our E's little backpack for the trip and he would not take it off. Its funny how each one of our kids have gone through a backpack stage, where all they want to do is carry it around and fill it up with things. I love it! There is a cuteness and a sign of independence in it.

It was pretty heavy but that didn't even faze him. 

Our church had an Easter Egg hunt and the kids had a blast. I had to do it alone w/o Mike b/c it was a work saturday, and it wouldn't have been bad if I wasn't in charge of it and had to be there 2 hours early and stay for cleanup. Luckily Grandma and Grandpa joined us for the actual event, that was extremely fun and helpful to have them there. (luckily that was my last church responsibility here)

I have the cutest new nephew that I wont get to meet until late June. Here is Owen with his big brother Parker. So many boys on the McAllister side! Wowsers!

I got Mike tickets to "the Producers" for Christmas and I was super excited about our date and to see a show that he loves so much. Of course it fell on a time when all of the YW from our ward were out of town in Spokane for Time Out for Women, so I had no babysitters at all. I asked someone from another ward for some referrals and none of those girls were available, however she did say her daughter was brand new to babysitting and might do it. That didn't sound too appealing because we wanted to do a real date and go out for dinner first...but with no other options we tried her. We didn't get to do dinner or anything fun before. Well, it turned out to be a nightmare and my entire night was spent texting this sweet, too young of a girl that my kids walked all over, all night. I missed most of the show, but at least Mike got to enjoy it. Her first text started with "Vienna and Lincoln want to sleep in Everett's crib, is that ok?" which has never happened in anyones lifetime, with a million thing in the middle to "Vienna just threw up, what should I do? (which never really happened and my gut told me that, but to be certain I asked Peg and Alan to go over and check it out) Needless to say, when the show ended earlier than we had expected and should have been excited to go out for dessert or a drink, I was so pissed off by the whole night that we just came home. It was aweful! With my other sitter(s) my kids do amazing and everything is wonderful. 

Normally I cut all my boys hair, but during the winter it has been super annoying because I can't get them naked and do it outside, so its been in the tub or in the bathroom and then hair is everywhere, so we decided to take them to Great Clips opening b/c they were only $5/cut. They all did really well and I'm glad I didn't have to spend $60 bucks.

Easter Party at Grandma and Grandpa's

This was their first year doing an Easter party, and it was lots of fun! We got to eat dinner, then the kids got to put together a variety of lifesize Easter puzzles and with daylight savings being the day before we had to wait much longer for darkness to fall so we had a dance party while we were waiting, then the kids all got flashlights and had to follow their string of yarn all the way around the yard to find their Easter basket. It was lots of fun, the kids had a blast and it was nice to do a family get together. Hopefully we can still do them, even though we are moving to Spokane.

Lincoln was so lucky to have preschool with Mrs. Tonya this year. She was one of Vienna's teachers last year and I will be so sad to not have her for Lincoln next year, but I feel really good about his new preschool teacher up there as well. 

Such a cute bunch of friends. 

Lincoln's ears were to big and he spent most of his time pulling them up or walking funny so he could see and less time finding eggs. Lol, so cute and such a blustery day.

These are my sweet buys with their (gross) bunny nose suckers from their goodies from Granma and Grandpa's. They worked wonders while waiting at my new OB office for my first appointment with the caboose of our family, baby #4. The night before in our hotel room, we did videos with each of them individually telling them the news of having a baby in my tummy, the videos are so darling and I'm grateful for the idea my dear friend Aarika gave me to do them. It was fun to hear the heartbeat and I actually ended up having an ultrasound too so it was fun to see our little peanut. I'm already 14.5 weeks, so only 6 more weeks until I find out what we're having! Can't wait!

I'll be back tomorrow with Vienna's friend party details and Easter...
