EASTER!!

Dad and me.

Easter Dress.

The trail led to this.

Bunny POOP, ewwww!

When I woke up sunday morning I discovered Bunny poop in the hallway.

Saturday night we decorated our eggs with dye, stamps, glitter and stickers.

Friday we went to dads work and decorated cookies and had our face painted.

THE FAIR.

This is my 3rd attempt at doing this post. My pictures will not upload. So if they do not upload again you will just have to imagine these pictures.

We went to the Clark County Nevada fair. I was a lot of fun. The kids all got to go to the carnival, the dads go to go on the rides with them. The moms ate fair food. Troy and I took the kids on a very short camel ride which was very cool. Then it was straight to the pony rides. Each kid had their own pony and had a great time.

yay it worked!

4/3/11

This is one of Kate's best buds. I caught them buck naked getting into costumes. Then once they were dressed they put on a performance.

"Strike a pose girls."

This is what we woke up to today, 5-6inches of it!

We had a fun dinner with the family too. I was the favorite aunt for supplying the caffeine free Mt. Dew. We BBQ'd despite the snow that was falling and ate a ton of 2nd favorite aunt Melissa's sugar cookies.

March

We made bunny buns. It is from the friend magazine. I wonder why they put faces on the bunny buns but maybe the bunny is looking over his shoulder. Ours are just the "buns."

We got to spend the day with our friends. The play dough was a big hit. We (mom) made doggies for everyone, and a bed, and a ball, and a bone...

Kate came into my room asking for her "toes." I had no idea what she was talking about so I told her to go find them. She came back with her "tools" to fix my drawer like her dad fixes the truck.

Princess

Dinner for a princess

Kate is a wiz on the iphone. It is one of her favorite things to do with her dad.

V is for volcano. Preschool craft. Edible cake volcano with frosting, candy rocks, toy dinosaurs and a tea candle to light.

The last month has been a little crazy. Kate has been a super big girl helping me. I did another IVF cycle but it didn't work, or we say the babies didn't grow. She understands a little and we all were very sad. It just isn't our time I guess.

We have also been busy with gymnastics, preschool and playing with friends. At night we are reading our scriptures and Kate has her own little mini Book of Mormon. She likes to find a number three and says she is reading that scripture. She repeats after us and reads two verses a night. But everytime we say "wherefore" she says, "wherethree" and gets mad if we don't say it too. It cracks me up. Last night it was "where-eight." Kate's sense of humor is strong and she loves to joke around all the time. To our frustration sometimes, especially when we try to get ready for bed.

She loves playing the three little pigs. One of us gets to be the wolf and we chase her around the house. This saturday we are going to a production of Peter and the Wolf. We have watched the Disney version of it and we love to sing the music around the house. I think it is a ballet and symphony for kids. Kate loves music a lot.

Cinderella

We went to our first Ballet. It was Cinderella performed by the BYU ballet. It was lots of fun and we got to dress up, and attend a princess party before. The fairies gave the girls suckers. Kate did really good. She sat on her Dad's lap and I watched them. She asked tons and tons of questions. It was fun to see her beautiful little face light up with delight and wonder and she watched the ballerinas perform. It was a super fun night.

All the pretty princesses.

Grandma Pat

Saturday we meet a very special person. Grandma Pat. This is Kate's birth grandma. It was very fun to meet up and exchange pictures and stories. Grandma Pat made Kate a quilt. We put it on her bed and that night she said, "mom this blanket is very special to me."
