My Silly Boys!

Checkin his emails....chatting with his peeps....

speaking of peeps....the determination of this boy to get to those peeps was SO cute!

Turns out he didn't care about the peeps...he wanted the package :)

The last couple of days Aden has been getting dressed and going to "work". He goes outside and plays in the dirt.....What a great JOB!

This is him "working" at Aunt Tammy's house with the cousins :D..

He loved going down the hill over and over and over.....he didn't want to come home.

Easter Sunday

So after all the egg fun and baskets of goodies from the day before, we had a great Easter Sunday with Conference and visiting and a wonderful Easter feast. Between sessions of conference we took the kids to the Elementary school and rolled the colored eggs down the good hills there...and the slide just because we could :D.
Watching the eggs roll down the hill....they loved it!

This kid loved watching them crack and didn't even care if his egg was the fastest!I would call this a serious case of egg envy...It's a good thing he loves that girl...he isn't above taking things from her but he was patient when it came to the eggs. When we ran out of eggs the kids took turns going down the slide too!

Cute picture with Mary and the baby cousins...I can't wait to see if they are as good of friends as Aden and Tianna.

Easter Bunny!

The loot the Easter Bunny left! They both made a haul!
Aden was so excited about the toys but mostly the CANDY!
Raleigh didn't quite know what to think....
...but we talked him into a smile
Then off to Grandma's house for an indoor hunt with Tianna
His face says it all! CANDY!!!
The Easter Bunny got a little morbid when he hid the eggs there :)
Raleigh participated in the only way he knows how....chewing on an empty egg!


Then off the Great Grandma's for an outdoor egg hunt...that bunny was SUPER busy.

This was not Raleigh's idea of fun...it was mom's and it didn't last long...oh well :D

Easter Eggs!

The egg coloring eggs-travaganza! Need I say more?

City Easter Egg Hunt

Chris took Aden to the City Easter Egg hunt. Aden had a good time even though he didn't get any eggs during the hunt. He got the goody bag and toy and later on someone took pity on his lack of eggs and shared some of theirs. Chris felt disappointed for him but really he didn't mind that much.

My Boys

As a mother of two there are many things I have had to adjust to. One that I have LOVED is to see my boys together and how much they love each other. Aden absolutely adores his brother and would love nothing more than to just hold him and play with him for hours. Raleigh is very reserved with his giggles but for some reason Aden can get him to giggle faster and harder than any one else. He loves when his brother plays peek-a-boo with him and just to see them interact makes my heart swell. The other part that is heart wrenching is watching Aden get upset when Raleigh is upset. When we had Raleigh on breathing treatments the very first time, Aden saw the contraption and heard the loud pump and got really upset when he saw his brother crying and he ran away crying too....I guess I didn't expect at such a young age for him to be so compassionate and sympathetic for his brother.

Darth Vader Baby

I have decided a baby should be born in the late spring...this due to the fact that it isn't cold and flu season....Raleigh got sick shortly after he was born and he got sick again a couple weeks ago. He had the really raspy cough and an ear infection. The pediatrician gave him antibiotics for the ear and a breathing treatment regimen for the cough. He is now recovered and doing great but here is a picture of him getting the breathing treatment...not a fan obviously.

Spring Break!

So for spring break we decided to spend some of our vacation up in Logan with Luke, Mary and the girls. When I say we I mean My boys, my mom, and myself. We got in some good quality shopping and the kids got in on some great play time. Aden got to participate in Tianna's Gymnastics class, and he LOVED it. I think it was great for his confidence and it was great to see him follow direction...the teacher is a SAINT!We also accomplished a Cousins picture or two.....here is one of the best :)

A big thanks to our hosts!

Random Photo

I have a few posts that I need to get posted but I wanted to post this photo because I love it and everyone in it :D

Day to Day Life at the Bingham's House

It has been just over three months since Raleigh made his debut into our family. We are finally settling into somewhat of a routine. Every day is a new adventure with these two. Aden loves his brother....if possible too much. The only reason I can't get things done around the house is because as soon as I put Raleigh down Aden swoops in to "love" on him, waking him, and driving me NUTS. But it is so fun to see them together. Aden can't possibly get enough of his brother and Raleigh gets a kick out of him and smiles the bigest gummy grins. Aden is getting smarter and smarter and growing in to such a fun little man. He is currently working on his colors and letters. Raleigh is growing a learning every day. He has learned to grab things and put them in his mouth. He loves his swing and he loves to be sang to. This is the little guy in his swing mowing on the tangle toy his Aunt Heather Rae gave him for Christmas....less than 5 minutes later...He is fast asleep :)

Raleigh's Blessing

Here are some pictures with Raleigh in his blessing tux. And one family picture from yesterday with us all in are Sunday best.

Day at the Museums....continued

After spending a good deal of time at the San Rafael Museum we decided to head over to the Prehistoric Museum in Price where Aden was amazed by the display of the mammoth bones, loved the dinosaur displays and especially loved the live animals they had on display. He also spent some time being an archaeologist, using a paint brush to uncover a dinosaur skeleton in a sand box! And again Raleigh slept through the entire thing :D.

Our First Official Family Outing with Raleigh

So a few weeks ago we decided on a whim that we needed to get out of the house and go do something (I think the long winter is giving us all cabin fever). We decided to go to the Museum in town...Aden LOVED it. He was a little leery of the dinosaur bones at first but after he got over that there was no stopping him. He loved all the animals and he really liked going in to the dark room with the glowing rocks. Raleigh in true two month old form, slept through the whole thing. It was such a successful trip we decided to head over to Price to visit the museum there too!
