SPRING BREAK!
WOW! What a week! I'm exhausted and need a week off from our vacation. We packed so many things into 5 days (I worked Monday and Tuesday)
First thing??? PIZZA! Krystal and her kids came over on Wednesday for a pizza lunch from my favorite place Louie's. When I was pregnant with both kids I CRAVED Marchelloni's nuggets. Especially since I used to work there in high school. So being stuck in Colorado while I was pregnant with Beckham meant no nuggets for me, plus Marchelloni's has closed in AZ (sniff sniff) I was in physical therapy when I was pregnant since my sciatic nerve was so messed up. And while laying on the table I heard the therapist talking with a coworker about Louie's cheese bread. I begged for information cause it sounded like nuggets! They're almost as good but nothing can beat the original! But either way, Louie's Pizza is my go to pizza place.
My kids LOVE Alvin and the Chipmunks, they love yelling "CHEESE BALL!"
Well we stopped in Target to get some snacks since I have problems remembering to get groceries until we're down to eating dry cereal. Well they saw a bag of Cheetos and begged for them, but just down the aisle I saw the heaven's reflect onto a glorious product... and it was on sale! The kids and I decided to throw all caution to the wind! Sydnee told me I was officially her hero
We haven't even put a dent in this thing but it makes me giggle every time I see it in the pantry
Logan, Beckham, Sydnee and Kayli eating Louie's for lunch
Sydnee has discovered how to work Netflix on the Wii, and the kids have declared their new favorite show; The Pink Panther. We've all been singing the theme song all week This is where Beckham happened to lay himself to watch it
Sydnee always says Beckham has an indestrucible head.
First there was the time he bashed his head into the door frame at Church and required stitches so I no longer could see his skull. Within the past few weeks Beckham has bruised that EXACT spot on his head twice, he tripped and hit the computer monitor that was on the floor, then he hit a door knob at my parent's house. Well on Wednesday while cleaning the house Beckham tripped on the puppies bed and hit his head on the window ledge He fell down and started screaming and I had a flashback to that exact moment except this time when he raised his head there wasn't blood gushing everywhere. WHEW!!
You can see the old scar and the new one is crossing it. Hey, maybe if he trips on his shoelaces he could have a Harry Potter lightning scar??? And it became another huge bruise!
Poor kid, but Sydnee's right INDESTRUCTIBLE SKULL
We had some fun with nerf guns this week, guess who was the most frequent target? I didn't even do it! But when Ryan tries to shoot me Beckham decided he must protect his Mommy and never relents
On Thursday we went up to The Denver Museum of Nature and Science because they most recent exhibit is about PIRATES! (Beckham is OBSESSED with Pirates)
Driving up to Denver
I keep asking Beckham to look and smile this is his "I'm AM!" (exactly how he says it)
PIRATES!!!!
He was so excited! 
The exhibit was great! The kids really loved it. But you can't take pictures during, but everyone got hats at the end.
This week was the start of pictures of Becks with his eyes closed, and sadly there were a few poses where I didn't get a pic of his eyes open
We went and looked at a few other exhibits
Gavin was not thrilled that we made him take a picture with all the other kids
Mummies!!
I found an exhibit that was about Ryan!!
Then Ryan got the camera and was not being very funny...
Seriously get that out of my face, you are not funny...
You BETTER RUN!!!
Since we were with Lisa who had Morgan in a stroller we had to find the TINY obscure elevators! I've decided my new cheesy pictures will be to take self portraits in TINY elevators
ARRRRRGGGGG!!!
This happened the MOMENT we got out of the Museum
Then we went to my favorite lunch in Denver! (Why don't they have one of these in the Springs?)
My Becks
He's so adorable!
Goofy Gavin
Me and the bony-headed dinasour... I mean Ryan
I spent the rest of the weekend with Lisa. She was on-call for work and her hubby Chad was fourwheeling in Moab so the kids, puppies and I stayed the night and we all played! I miss spending weekends at the Lewis' house
This is how you entertain 3 kids in Kohl's who are all hungry and super hyper! Give them a cart and then pretend you don't know them while they are running around crazy!

Unfortunately Lisa got called in to work at 5am. Which left me ALONE with 5 children under the age of 8 and the youngest being 9 months old. And two little needy puppies...
THANK goodness it was such a nice day! I fed them breakfast then kicked the older 4 outside and got to play with little princess Morgan!
These poor puppies were tortured by the 4 kids that wanted to play with them every single second!
Kona
Literally Daisy came inside after being with the kids and fell to the floor like this
Crazy monkeys!
How could anyone ever get to take a shower if they had 5 kids? I barely remembered to brush my teeth, but I never even got dressed!
Of course there are always a few wounds when you let kids run wild. Sydnee scrapped her knee. And me being the Mommy I am, decided to find the toy chainsaw and tell Sydnee we were going to have to amputate!
She's a good sport!
On Sunday we all ended up on the couch watching Jane Austen movies.... well the girls were watching. The boys both passed out
My sister Kadi and her new huband Jayke came over for dinner and roasting marshmellows. 
Kadi and Ryan decided to make up bizarre marshmellow combinations. Brownies inside, coconut creme chocolate... they decided their favorite was strawberry milkshake whoppers inside a toasted marshmellow.
They're weird!
Something good.... I'm applying for my Bachelor's program! I hope it doesn't take too long to hear

Another one bites the dust
My youngest sister Kadi got married last weekend. She married Jaykob Owens, he's in the Army and is set to be deployed to Afghanistan in May. It was a really cute wedding. Sydnee was a flower girl and Beckham was the ring bearer. We had a lot of family come into town and had an entire weekend together, I always feel like when a lot of people get together most of the time revolves around food.
Beautiful breathaking Sydnee was absolutely perfect! She's a pro flower girl (this is her 3rd time)
Beckham did really well. He was super cute, he walked up the aisle with the pillow then tried to give the pillow to "Uncle Jayk"
He's such a stud, he spent most of the day finding sticks in the forest
Beckham is always really cuddly with family during events with a lot of people. I noticed when I looked at my camera every other picture was of Beckham giving hugs
Becks and Poppop (my Dad)
Sydnee and "Stinky" Aunt Klair. When Sydnee was younger we would call Klair stinky and Sydnee thought it was so funny she calls her that
They told everyone to make silly faces and then Beckham wouldn't stop
Sydnee dancing with Ryan. During the Daddy-Daughter dance. This moment made my Grandma cry
Ryan and I
Beckham and Uncle Sean. Beckham LOVES his Uncle Sean, especially since Sean will spend hours pushing Beckham on swings and playing video games with him
Klair and Sean
Me, Uncle Rock (Rob), Kadi, Grandma Guchi, Kyle and Klair
Kadi and Jayk's first dance
She wanted to look like an ice princess
During the ceremony Jayk said "I do" 3 times before President Woodward read the entire vows. It was really cute! At the end he said "I do....again."
Mr. and Mrs. Owens
The wedding party
During the garter toss, the best man took off his shoes and we blindfolded Jayk so he was feeling up the bestman looking for the garter. It was hilarious!
GUESS WHO CAUGHT THE GARTER????
HAHA!!! Everyone timed it so Jayk threw it at Kyle and everyone moved, Kyle didn't know what was happening but Jayk yelled his name and Kyle looked up just in time to catch the flying white thing coming toward him. He turned bright RED! Kyle swears he's never getting married but I've been looking into ordering a bride from Russia.... any thoughts?
While we were all decently coordinated and dressed we took some family pictures
I don't know which one I like best??
My absolutely ADORABLE babies! I love being a Mommy, they are so much fun!
