April 2020 (the crazy month we spent at home and noah turned 14, plus easter)

michael challenged me to wear only clothes i made myself so i did a lot of extra sewing
like this shirt/pants combo
 i don't know why but henry loves to wear his clothes backwards
always pushing limits
bang twins
 and a big haircut for eleanor
i made this shirt
 a playdough arrow
 the toy henry bought himself arrived and everyone loved it
 art class
we learned about pointilism
 i can't remember what we were watching
 general conference sunday
 such a strong spirit
 eleanor loves being twins with anyone willing and i love it
 loving the dirt (garden) boxes
 another shirt i made
jude took a bunch of pictures of himself and i guess it was the straw that broke the camel's back
because he got a haircut that night
 handsome twins
i made this shirt and wearing earrings my mom gave me a long time ago
 the tulips
 early glimpses of summer
 always reading
 making hair wishes come true
 blue tips
 eleanor's beloved mama violet needed a collar
 making buckeye balls on his lunch break
 water balloon fight
 muddy and happy
 on the worldwide fast day we got red robin delivered to break our fast
 bike ride
 dying eggs



 playing at the river



 easter






 easter breakfast


 ready for the hunt


 painting little ceramics
 ready for easter dinner


 homemade rolls


 sleepy brothers
 same hairstyle as kindergarten
 rearranged olive and eleanor's room in an attempt to help them happily share a room a little longer until the garage conversion is done but eleanor still hates sharing with olive
 laying in the hammock


 14 years ago
 noah had his golden birthday!!!!



 a little ride in the car to go through the panda express and sodalicious drive through

 he wanted a pinata so we got a mini one and let him hit it with a bat
 dinner
 cake

 staying up late doing a puzzle and hanging out
it was a great birthday for him and he felt very spoiled
it's blowing our minds he's going to start high school in the fall!
and driver's ed!!
 running buddies

 watching cartoons to not wake the other kids
 art
 bike ride
 michael pranked me by filling his jacket with blankets and posing it all over the house one day
 made this dress

 pink hair


 we went on an adventure my friend told me about to an abandoned train tunnel
















 trying to catch a lizard
 playing super heroes
 lego building competition
 we refinanced! 
 sprinkler under the trampoline
 school
 counting oranges
 out on an afternoon adventure with two restless boys
 jude likes to play in our bathroom sink but he slipped as he was jumping down and needed stitches
 he earned a cookie for being so brave


 youtube harmonica lessons
 exploring the oregon trail



 working on the garage
  got the door closed up and the window in 
 made this dress
 church at home :)
 bleaching his mohawk so we can turn it green 
 hazel asked for highlights and then it was too big of a change so we covered them back up the next day
 but i also re pierced her ear that has been needing it since eleanor pulled an earring of hazel's nearly out as a baby and that's healing nicely
 we socially distanced and bought michael a new (used) car
with A/C!!!!
 jude and i rode my bike to the pediatrician's office to get his stitches out
 taco tuesday
 we did a bunch of yard work so i gave them treats
 we had one super hot day so we called it a water day
 then had smores with our fire pit and the kids slept in the tent 


 jude slept inside but these five made it all night
 made this dress a little big but i like it
 yay for backyard lilacs
 and getting diagnosed with adhd
 and watching crazy storms outside the window together
 and cute little bed hogs
april was crazy but we managed to make a lot of good memories together
