That's Not All...

Wow! It seems like I have done so many posts for April already, but there's still my favorite one for the month: The April Leftovers!


I must be really adoring Brynnli when she's asleep because I took all of these pictures of her sleeping this month: 


 When she's not sleeping, we're usually running around doing errands while the big kids are at school.
 Colton was baptized this month, so we took the opportunity to get a 4 generation picture of all 4 William Evans while they were all dressed up and spiffy.

Funny story: After Colton's baptism, Brynnli was jabbering and said, "Dat pobabee fun for Jerm-mey an Coton to taka baf!" Oh how I love this age and the cute things they say!!

 Remember how crazy Utah weather is? One day you're wearing shorts and the next day you wake up to this...

 Tyler's cousin Josh was in town with his family so Terry and Craig threw a little family party and we got this picture of some of Bill and Bonnie's great grand kids.
 They were obviously very shocked they were related.
 I got my hairs did. I always love getting my hair done, but I hate looking like this for a few hours...
 I'm trying to be in style, so I went with the ombre look this time. I'm loving it and it's so nice to have a change.

 We had some sad news this month. My cousin Anna's baby passed away Easter morning. I stole this picture from her Facebook page, so hopefully she doesn't mind.
Des was born last September with a heart condition. He had surgery when he was only 5 days old, and was placed on the heart transplant list a few months later. He spent his whole short 7 months in the hospital waiting for a heart transplant. I am truly amazed at Anna and Dallen's optimistic attitude through the whole experience, and I am absolutely heartbroken for their loss. We often talked about Desi at our house and it wasn't uncommon to hear Caden pray for him and ask, "please help Desi to get a new heart." Trying to explain to our kids that Desi passed away was really hard, and even today Caden asked me why Desi couldn't get a new heart. 

It's sad when the only time you see your relatives is at weddings and funerals. We will take any opportunity to snap a picture of my Grandma with her kids. 

 On a lighter note, we celebrated my mom's birthday.
 One day they turn 5 and 6 and the next day they're driving... and looking pretty stylish if you ask me.
 We encourage our kids to protect their eyes from the damaging effects of inside lights.
 Yep, more selfies in the car. I get really bored waiting to pick kids up from school. Plus I was having a really great hair day... thanks ombre!
 Just eating quinoa for dinner. Our kids love it and they have no idea how healthy it is!
 Caden started Spring soccer. He is doing so well and is the best player on his team. We are so proud of him and love that he has found a sport he loves.
 The brother and sister who wear matching skirts and headbands together, stay together.
 The weather was finally nice after a really long rainy week, so we headed out for a walk. Brynnli is miss independent and insists on walking by herself, until Daddy offers to put her on his shoulders.


 Check out that view you guys! Gosh we are lucky to live here.
 Happy April!
