It is all too often that I look for Dash, and my heart skips a beat because he is nowhere to be found.
And to top it off….he isn’t answering to my frantic calls.
But before I get panicked, I look at one of his favorite hiding spots….
…and can usually find the glow of the IPad and a chubby finger swiping it.
I don’t know who had my camera — probably Navy, but she captured a cute picture of Micah and his sweetest boy.
This morning as we were reading scriptures, Scout and Navy thought that king Mosiah sounded just like Bryan.
So we took a picture, and sent it to him.
And I think they nailed it.
Scout has his third, and Navy had her first Chinese New Year’s assembly.
Both sang their little hearts out.
And Scout went straight back to class, while Navy had a party.
Where she Panda Express.
Hung out with friends like Charlie and Katherine.
And showed her class off to her brother.

We got box seats for the Harlem Globe Trotters.
Being honest, it is a bit anticlimactic when I thought it would be a blast.
But it is one of those things that I think the kids liked, and I have checked off of my bucket list…..and will never let it creep back onto that list for a second time.
All of Navy’s dreams came true on her field trip to the farm!
I was working on my computer for a few minutes, when I looked out to see the sweetest scene.
Dash was playing with his Valentine treat — his Bubble Bear.
And then his sister came out, and he was so sweet with her as I watched.
He blew bubbles for her.
Then let her give it a go.
And then they spotted me capturing the moment.
And made the moment even sweeter.
Scout’s special date was this morning.
We had the best time, and I love that he is a bit older because there are way more things to do.
So we pumped up our tires, and took off to Bagels for breakfast, where Scout responsibly locked up both of our bikes with the new lock he got for Christmas.
After breakfast, we went to Micah’s old neighborhood park with a bat and ball we bought at CVS.
We played catch, and got our world record for not dropping any balls — 34.
And then we set up bases, and played baseball against each other for about 30 minutes.
We had so much fun.
Then we rode to Daddy’s old house, and sent him this picture.
And finally, we rode to the garden to see what shape it was in before heading home.
It was one of the funnest mornings I have had in a long time.
Clearly, my quick picture before church didn’t pan out the way I wanted it to.
But it does capture their personalities perfectly.
Teething Pippi is sour.
Navy is posing.
Scout is goofing off.
Dash is disobeying (no scooter rule).

Well, there you have it….my four little angels.
Since we are in the middle of a long weekend, Micah came up with a really fun adventure. After Saturday chores, which took unusually long, we headed to what I think was called O’Neill Park. It was everything kids would love. Climbing trees, a park, walking/running paths, insects, and exploring for days.
Don’t let the pictures fool you.
Our kids were nothing short of horrid!
They complained, whined, cried, embarrassed us, and tantrumed it up.
I think we cut our 4 hours down to 1 hour and got out of dodge!
This might look like a serene picture, but really….Micah was sitting and holding a tantruming Pips, while talking to Scout about why you don’t run off like a baby and hide in the bathroom because you don’t get your way.
Shoot me now!!!
