I'm A Big Girl Now!

On April 14th Abigail turned 4 years old! Abby loves her birthday...I think it might be the presents and all the focus is on her! That day we had a special day. Josh, Abby and I went out to lunch together, then Abby and I went to the Nickel Arcade to play games, her pick of the place! The games were a little old for her but she said she had the best time. I won her a bunch of tickets and she picked out a treat for her and she even got a sucker for her sister! That evening we went over to my parents house and had a small party for her. My mom decorated with hello kitty stuff and even got pin the tail on the donkey! I have received all of my party planning skills from this woman!! Abby said she had the best birthday. A couple days later we went shopping at Walmart to spend the birthday money sent by Josh's parents and grandpa! This is my kids favorite part! Abby bought a hello kitty scooter (that Elizabeth has already tried to talk Abby out of), a new movie, and a princess beauty kit and still had a dollar left over! My girl knows how to shop! And now she is asking when her next birthday is!


This is Abigail's Video for the year. I hope all enjoy it, she is growing so fast!

Easter Activities

A few weeks ago our wonderful Aunt Lisa invited us to go to the Lehi Easter Egg Hunt! The girls had sooo much fun. It was a little crowed and chaotic but over all the girls cried when we had to leave, so I'm guessing that they liked it! After a small taste of swimming the girls can't wait for summer even more! Thank you Aunt Lisa for planning and invited us!

Easter morning the easter bunny leaves a trail of candy from the girls door all the way to their easter baskets. This year the bunny was smart and left baggies for the girls to pick up the candy on their way to their baskets. The girls loved all their easter treats from the easter bunny and from grandma and grandpa, thank you! Later that evening we went over to my parents house and had a easter egg hunt with my family. The kids all got lots of eggs and had fun. Deacon found the one egg with money in it! Of course I made sure he did. I think it is being the youngest and never being fast enough to get that egg that made me want Deacon to get it. Of course he was more interested in the candy then the money! Over all everyone had a good Easter!

A Little Bit of Culture

A couple of weeks ago the girls and I went to a Pow Wow at BYU. We met up with my sister and her family and Nicole and Bryn. I haven't been to one of these in years. Josh was out of town and missed out. The girls peppered me with questions about what everything was. Elizabeth asked me if you had to be an Indian to be able to go. It was a lot of fun. We watched the dancers and walked around the booths looking at all the stuff for sell. The girls were excited they got to pick out little Indian hair clips. The kids at one point went down on the main floor and danced with all the dancers. Let's just say I don't see a career for any of them in dancing... well maybe Deacon he was getting the beat pretty good. While we were there we saw my Auntie and Cousin and talked with them. It was nice to see them. We didn't stay long but the girls said that next time we need to take dad.This is a video out sweet Deacon feeling the music in him.

Yes We Are A Bit Crazy!

Saturday night was girls night out. My sisters and I put on a New Moon Party. It was a lot of fun. We played games and ate and ate some more...we ate a LOT, then watched the movie. Here are some pictures of the night:

An Indication That I Have Too Much Time On My Hands

So today my friend Amy asked if I could babysit her two girls for a few hours. Her youngest is about 2 years old and is the spitting image of a hobbit. Now that might not sound like a good thing but it is. Just think about the cute little hobbit children in The Lord of the Ring. They are so dang cute and this kid looks so much like them that I have wanted to curl her hair like one from the moment I met her. Today was perfect. Cory was over and so I recruited her to help curl Sammy's hair. Sammy did wonderful! We gave her a sucker and sat her on the counter and stared curling. After a LONG time we dressed her up in the closest thing to a hobbit outfit that we could come up with and proceeded to take her picture. What we do to small children that have no say in the process!! So here are some of those pictures...

Last Game Of The Season!

Well it's over! Elizabeth has played her last soccor game. They lost, but I do have to say that she did actually play pretty good, for her. She may not of been the star of the team but she loved it. We have enjoyed going to each game and watching our little girl run around in circles! I think that her favorite part was after the game was over and getting the snacks that the parents would bring! After her last game her coach gave all the players a metal. It was just so dang cute!! Well until next year unless she finds a new sport that she just HAS to try! We'll see...

Happy Birthday Elizabeth

My Angel is 6 years old today. Yesterday we went to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate her birthday. After the chaos of Chuck E. Cheese, and I mean chaos the place was stuffed with kids, we came back to our house for cake and ice cream and presents! Elizabeth loved the day and loved everything she got from everyone. She especially loves the gift card she got from her Auntie Celeste. She was so excited that she got (in her own words) "my first credit card!" She also received a small mp3 player, she loves music and while we are in the car listening to the radio she is always asking us to rewind that song, so Josh and I thought that she would enjoy one. She has been wearing it around the house and dancing and singing to all the songs that I have downloaded onto it. It is one of the funniest things I have ever witnessed!

Here is her yearly video I make for her every year:
