Happy Easter

 Happy Easter from the Portlock Family!

Painting Aurora's toenails was a two person job, her Daddy was the one that painted her toes!

Easter Egg Hunt

 We had an Easter Egg Hunt, the kids were all so excited!  It is not easy to get all of the kids to look at the camera....Evan is a trooper for getting in the picture just to humor me!

After Swimming Lessons

After swimming lessons, Ken has been taking the boys to swim in the pool with the "twisty" slide and lazy river!

Smile with two little teeth!

I got a pretty good picture of her cute little teeth today!

Swimming

The boys have had swimming lesson the last couple of weeks.  Josef has STRUGGLED to get in the pool with his teacher.  The beginning of each lesson is difficult, but once he gets in the pool he loves it!

Sheer Delight

Yesterday, Aurora was playing in the saucer, and Holden was downstairs.  When Aurora saw him walked up the stairs, she smiles with sheer delight.  I didn't know if she would do it again, but as many times as he walked into the room she lit up! Her brothers adore her, and she adores them right back!

Hopping Along

It is so fun to watch this cute little bunny hop all over the house!

Some Bunny Loves Me!

I was taking a picture of Aurora, and Josef had to get in on the action...he looks pretty happy:)

This picture makes me nervous, they look like they are up to something, and will be partners in crime, I really hope Aurora can be a positive influence on Josef!

Dinner Outside

Today was the first time we have had dinner outside this year!  We ate our burgers, and went in the house, because the mosquitoes were out in force.  I can't believe the mosquitoes are already out!!!!

Bubble Bath

The boys don't get many bubble baths, and I know why...they are CRAZY!!! I don't remember the last time they were all in the bath together either...

Miss Giggles

Aurora is not a really smiley or giggly baby, she really has to be in the right mood!  She was in the right mood tonight when I was getting her ready for bed:)

Go Utes!

I dressed Aurora in the right shirt this morning! I have high hopes that the friendly rivalry in our home will be evened out with her, because Wilson and I need some help on our side:)

Aurora's new favorite toy

The past couple of days Aurora has spent hours playing with this latch puzzle.  I can't believe how long she can just play with the latches...

She is getting pretty good at moving herself around too!

A New Holdenism

If you look really closely you can see the mountains beginning to appear in Holden's mouth...bottom gums...

Holden is currently missing his four front teeth.  Wilson is missing so many teeth, I couldn't even say a number.  These missing teeth create some interesting conversations around our home.  This morning on the way home from school, I heard Holden and Luke talking about teeth, Holden said "mountains are the earth's teeth", I asked him who told him, and he said he figured it out himself:)

The Army Crawl

Aurora is one determined little girl.  The last couple of days, she has just started doing the army crawl.  If she sees something she wants, she will get it...

Skiing

Ken took Wilson skiing today for the first time.  He had a lesson, and by the end of the day he was doing really well.  They started skiing at 9:15 am and stopped at 3:30 pm.  Wilson is exhausted, but had a great time! The weather was beautiful, but a little windy...you will hear it on the videos.  Ken and Wilson both look forward to going again:)

I Love to See the Temple

 The Farmington Utah Temple

 Front of Temple

back of Temple

Left over white LEGOs!

Yesterday, I was looking on a blog for ideas of things to do with the boys.  I saw where someone had built a temple, it was small, because they didn't have very many white LEGOs.  I got the boys together, and started gathering white LEGOs....we have a lot (maybe they could build another temple!)  Together we built a temple, well... maybe they helped me build a temple. Poor Angel Moroni is a gold dinosaur, I hope he doesn't mind:)

Grandpa & Aurora

I think she stole his heart!

Glasses

We discovered at his 6 year old check up that his vision was what it needed to be, so we went to the eye doctor in November.  At that point, we decided to wait and see if we thought his vision was hindering him.  Holden has not been picking up his sight words as quickly as I thought he would, so I decided to to get him glasses, and see if that helps.  Holden has been so excited to get them, and has been wearing them since we picked them up last night.  For right now, we are just going to have him wear them at home when we are reading, and then we will see from there what to do.  Holden is so active, I am concerned about him wearing them outside.
Oh, how I love his face...he has the most beautiful eyes, is getting freckles, and now he has added glass! Oh, how I adore my Holden!

Wilson's Baptism

Wilson's baptism was great!  He was so excited and ready.  We had a great day with Grandmas & Grandpas, Aunts & Uncles, lots of cousins, and friends!

TinTin

The kids got to dress up has their favorite book character for school, Wilson chose to be Tintin!
