Our trip to WARM St. George!

We went to St. George for a week for an alumni soccer game and to see family. Here are the four brothers after playing in the alumni soccer game. Travis had a great time!

Travis and Max after the game, and before Max's haircut.
After Max's haircut, and at my birthday party.
Cousin Ethan enjoyed his cake very much so...
I love this picture of Elora and Max in their new Easter clothes.
Family picture in my Mom's backyard, and of course, Elore didn't want to cooperate...

Elora and Grandma

We took Grandpa Arnell back to his house in Salt Lake, and the kids loved his glass doors...

We went to my friend, Catherine's house in Salt Lake, and Cherie came as well. Catherine and Cherie made friends in their old married college ward, and I've known Cherie since she lived the next street over when we were in Young Womens, and she also married my cousin. We all have two of our kids the same age as the others... funny eh?

Sarah, Thomas, Emily, and Jonathan all enjoying their cake. Sarah and Emily are the same age as Elora.

Elora enjoyed her cupcake...

Timothy and Cherie. Timothy is the same age as Max and Jonathan.

Max thoroughly enjoyed his cake too, not too long before he'll get to enjoy some even more cake on his birthday!

Easter, etc...

Elora just wanted a cuddle with Daddy in her blanket, I just thought it was so cute!

Daddy made dinner-chicken enchiladas, and he was very proud of himself so he took a picture: Elora and her princess crown that she got in a happy meal...she loves it!
It's very hard to get a stubborn two-year-old to look at the camera and smile without sticking her tongue out etc... so Travis was helping her out...
I walked into the living room and couldn't resist grabbing the camera and taking a picture of the three on the couch:
Elora and her friend Whitney at the Easter egg hunt.

Pick up that candy!

As you can tell, Elora was very excited about the candy

Egg decorating!A cute moment with Daddy and the cameraElora LOVES playing with Daddy!

Elora and her new Easter dress...once again...it is very hard to get her to smile at the camera...but I got some cute candid shots...

Tag your it Elora and Max!

Elora Gough

1. We got the name Elora from a movie actuallly... Ever see the 80's fantasy movie with Val Kilmer called "Willow"? Well, Elora Danan was the name of the princess baby that Willow had to protect. I liked the name Elora, and I like that it's not a popular name.

2. Elora is much like her mother in very many ways... looks and personality... It's very hard to make Elora do anything that SHE doesn't want to do. She also likes order in her life... to line things up, put things away, put things together...

3. Elora loves playing with Max and sharing with him sometimes... She loves to run around the room and have Max follow behind. And when she hits or kicks Max, she gets a time out, but then gives Max a kiss and a hug afterwards...

4. Elora loves giving me big fat long kisses on my cheek... it's quite a slobery thing, but I sure do love it!

5. Elora loves playing with her baby dolls... giving them a bottle, a ride, wrapping them in a blanket, and putting them to sleep. In fact she loves taking her many friends with her to bed.

Max Travis Gough

1. Max is named after my grandpa Max on my mom's side. He was an artist, always fun to spend time with, and was an amazing man. Travis is of course from Max's father's name. It's sort of a tradition in the Gough family to use the father's first name as the middle name for the firstborn son.

2. Max is much like his father is many ways...looks and personality... He's just a happy go-lucky kid -always smiling! And when he's tired or just wants a cuddle, he'll dig his face in your chest or arm....just like Travis does :)

3. Max loves crawling and exploring all over the place. His favorite thing is to crawl UNDER things, even when it's easier to go around.

4. Max will eat anything you give him! Complete opposite of Elora... He still loves it when you just shove it in... give me more Mommy!

5. I love his abundant hair, especially the fuzz ball in the back that he gets after he wakes up...

I love my kids! They are the cutest ever! I'm tagging anyone with kids who reads this and wants to participate! So just say five things about each of your kids.

Cousins, friends, and siblings...oh my!

So Elora LOVES to put order to everything. She loves lining things up, putting things where they go, and putting things together...

Max is showing off his teeth! There's only 6 or 7 teeth in this picture, but now he has 8!

We had a party with our cousins last week. Here's Elora with her 2nd cousin, Thomas.

Elora and her 2nd cousin, Sarah. (Sorry it's washed out...but it's still a cute picture...)

This is my niece, Kalissa. She looks so much like her Dad, Scott, we should call her Scottina.

Another 2nd cousin of Elora's and Max's, Carson.

Elora and Max just LOVE playing in this Elmo couch... Thanks to Grandma Seegmiller.

So we finally bought some sleeping bags of our own, and when we opened it up to see what it was like, Elora and Max went crazy for it! They were all over it! It's slippery on the outside, and Max just loved the feel of it... Here he is digging his face into the sleeping bag...

I babysat some kids the other day, and here they all are enjoying the Elmo couch as well...

The rest of the pictures are just of all of us in our winter Sunday clothes. I figured that since it will be Spring soon, I better show off their winter clothes first...

Max just learned how to wave bye-bye...
