How well do you know April?

Favorite candy?
gummy bears, tootsie rolls, chocolate necessities milk chocolate hedgehogs and black kookabura licorice, mmm! Can you say sweet tooth!

Favorite ice cream?
Ben and Jerry's chunky monkey (banana ice cream with chocolate chunks and walnuts).

Favorite color?
Robby thinks that it's pink, but I'd have to say brown and burnt orange. I love those colors together!

Favorite flower?
Tulips and peonies. Robby has finally learned after 5 years of roses, yuck!

Favorite animal?

I love almost all animals, I just never want to own one! One of my absolute favorite things to do during the summer is visit a petting zoo out in Lynden, they have a baby cow, goats, chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, and rabbits!

Favorite book?
I haven't read anything lately but a real feel good book for a mom to read is, "I Am a Mother" by Jane Clayson Johnson.

Favorite magazine?
I love to look at home decorating magazines, a girl can dream can't she!

Favorite memory from childhood?
Weekly sleepovers on our trampoline telling scary stories!!

Quality you most admire in your spouse?
Robby is always happy and he is so good at apologizing, he's always the first to admit when he's wrong even when he's not when I've convinced him he is!

Favorite way to spend your day?
Anything that involves Robby and our boys!

How many meals do you eat out each week?
We've gotten much better, maybe 1-3 times.

How many kids would you like to have?
Depends on the day! Most of the time I'd say 6-8 kids! Yes, you heard me right! I just wish I could skip the pregnancy sickness and sleep deprivation that comes with a newborn.

Best date ever?
What's a date?!!

Favorite restaurant?
Hmm, that depends on what mood I'm in! If I want Italian than Pistazza's, I love their butternut squash ravioli and salad with gorgonzola dressing and don't forget dessert; chocolate lava cake!

Favorite fast food restaurant?
It would have to be Taco Time.

One place you'd like to visit?
Anywhere warm, Hawaii sounds good! We're going to Disneyland in two weeks, I'm hoping for warm weather!

Adventures in the land of Loveland

Lately our home has become a sort of magical fun house due to a very imaginative little boy...

Earlier I was laying on our bed when Paden jumped on and told me to hurry and put my seat belt on! He said we were going on a ride in his race car?! When he saw that I was securely fastened he began using a make believe steering wheel while making noises like, "woo vroom errr!" It was quite the ride! Then he said he needed to exercise and of course he couldn't do it alone so we did some laps around the house, push ups, lifted weights, and did three sit ups. Needless to say I was pretty exhausted after our 3 minute workout! Plus it was quite the show with Robby and Evan as our audience!

Funny things from a two year old......

"Can I have some chips and hummus mommy?!!"-Paden

Mmm Mmm Good!

This may not look very appetising to many of you but this is the very most absolutely delicious mouth watering meal ever! Trust me.
Yesterday I spent most of the day laying on the couch too nauseous and moody for anyone to want to be around. Then Robby said these magic words, "Do you want me to take you to eat some pho?"
We were out the door in a matter of minutes!!
If you don't know "Pho"(pronounced fu) is a Vietnamese noodle soup. So delicious!
It is the only thing I ever want to eat and one of the few things that doesn't upset my stomach.
So, Mimi if this is making you hungry, just give me a call!!

Happy Easter!

This was one of my favorite Easter mornings ever!

I woke up early before the boys got up and attempted to make my first ever cinnamon rolls which turned out almost really good, I just baked them a little too long.

Then I sat down and did some reading about the Saviors resurrection hoping to see the sunrise. I took a shower and then went in and got Evan and Paden up. We made breakfast, I finished getting ready then Robby helped me get the boys ready. When it was almost time to leave for church we surprised the boys with a gift from the Easter bunny!

Church was wonderful and full of the Spirit. Even our Young Womens lesson turned out great.

Later that night we went to my moms house for a very yummy dinner. We ate ham, potatoes, asparagus, deviled eggs, green salad, fruit salad, dinner rolls, and two types of desserts! We ate intil we hurt! I can't waite til next year another addition to an Easter photo and more great food!

Easter Egg Hunt!

This was their first Easter egg hunt!

Paden looked around confused for the first minute until he noticed that all the other kids were taking all the candy, so he got in on it and ended up with a pretty good amount!

Evan wasn't sure what to do, so he sat on the ground, found a piece of candy and ate it!

THE BOYS!!

I am definetly getting outnumbered!

Even if I end up being the mother to 6 boys that would be alright with me! There is nothing sweeter than raising boys.

Family Home Evening with the Tobler's!

I think there was definetly a Love Connection!!
Paden has found his true love!

Cutest 1 year old Ever!

No other word can describe a 1 year old better than, "Busy! Busy! Busy!"
Evan is no exception. Yesterday I was laying on the couch watching him destroy my house, too sick to do anything. And within 30 mimutes the drawers in the kitchen had been unloaded, every diaper was thrown around the bedroom floor, and the toilet paper was completely unraveled. This is what Robby came home to!!!

Cutest 2 year old Ever!

I have only experienced being a mom to newborns up to almost 3 years old, but I can say that I've loved every bit of it (almost)!
Paden is such a fun person, he is so talkative and loving. He loves cars, boats, or airplanes pretty much if it has an engine he loves it. He especially loves Sugarbear's race car and Sugarbear's boat (Sugarbear is Grandpa York). Every single day he mentions Sugarbear.
Yesterday I was telling Paden how much I love him, and he began telling me how much he loves cars!

Gingerbread Houses!

Okay, so I know that Christmas has past and it is almost spring but I just had to show some pictures of my beautiful Martha Stewart gingerbread houses.

On her show she makes putting these houses together look like no problem. Don't believe everything you see! I almost lost my patience and through them all in the trash but I was able to figure it out. So after many hours of work here's how they turned out! I will be making these every year.

Pregnant!!

I am not sure why it is called morning sickness!
It had to be a man that gave it this title.
I have been sick all day and all night It never never stops.
I am super excited though and we (Robby and I) decided not to tell anyone thatI was pregnant since I am still in my first trimester. But Brother Tobler came up and congatulated Robby. Still not sure how he knows!? So I guess it's not our little secret anymore!

Here are some pictures or our two little boys the day they were born!

Trying to figure this out!

I am new to blogging and have no idea how to put this together!
