Princesses

Sometimes you just need to put on a pretty dress and play princesses with your daughter.

Sick Day

It's true that moms don't get sick days, but sometimes my kids do such sweet things for me to try to make me feel better that it almost makes it worth it...almost. One morning lately I woke to find they had made me this yummy breakfast (my favorite cereal, milk on the side; fresh squeezed orange juice; bagels; and grapes) and sweet get-well notes.

Caps for Sale!

Eli piled a bunch of his hats onto his head and then wandered around the house saying, "Caps, Caps, Caps for sale! Fifty cents a cap!" We do love to read, but not as much as I love him! 

He's One!

Happy Actual Birthday, Jake! To say we love you is a HUGE understatement!

Excited Cub Scout

Logan is SO excited to be a cub scout. He was trilled when I finally took him to buy all of his stuff:

He wears his hat every single day, even to school knowing he'll have to take it off once he gets there, and loves the scout shirt our old ward had ordered for the cubs to use on outings right before our ward was dissolved (so they gave them to the kids, including the up-coming cubs, as a memento).

He wore his scout shirt all day the day of his first den meeting, which happened to fall on his birthday, and could not wait to go...it was a pretty good birthday present!

Babysitting

She was entertaining her brother, and I guess they decided a change of venue was in order.

Easter

Part of our weekend of celebrations last weekend was Easter. We decorated eggs, found baskets (the Easter Bunny rocked the baskets!), and had an egg hunt.

 We took our annual silly egg nose picture:

 And I got the cutest shot of this darling boy on his first Easter:
