Easter highlights!

Easter cookies I made for teachers, primary teachers, bishop, & VT! They were yummy!

We had an eventful Easter weekend this year!


Saturday we went to Greg's brother's house for a get together. The kids did an egg hunt and got things from candy to erasers, chap sticks, hair accessories, and even money! We ate, visited, laughed a lot, and played a game (girl's against boys-guess who won....yay girls). It was lots of fun!

Kayla and some of her cousins!

Saturday night Greg and I went on a date with some good friends. We went to Sizzler, roamed the mall, and went to Emmett's for ice cream! It was fun!

Greg learns how to tie a tie!

Yay! He did it!



Sunday the kids got up and found their Easter baskets. They got new church clothes, outfits, flip flops, socks, hair accessories for the girls, and lots of candy! They had lots of fun! Sunday night they did sleepovers with cousins!

My gorgeous daughters!

My handsome young men!

Girl's Pedicures

Saturday was girl's day to get pedicures. Kayla didn't want to do it so just Karianne and I got our toes done. This is where Greg's feminine side comes in. I was telling him one day that a couple of our couple friends husband's will paint their daughters and their toenails and that he should paint Karianne's toe nails. So while listening to conference he pulled out the nail polish and painted mine and Karianne's toe nails. He did a great job and was a great sport about it. He even took my old nail polish off for me. Thanks sweetie!

Karianne getting hers done!

Karianne half way smiling for the picture. She didn't want a picture taken. Stinker!

Baseball Tryouts

Last weekend Kyle had baseball tryouts! This is the first time for Kyle to play in a baseball league. He's played soccer and football but not baseball before. I dropped him off and was on my way. I guess he was the last one to be picked up after tryouts because they got done early so the coaches let him know what team he would be on. He's the only one that knows his team so far. He is on the "Angels" team. I guess we could say like the California Angels. I do have to say I like that! ;-) He did pretty good. He was really good at catching fly balls. Maybe he'll be in the outfield!
We're excited that he's excited to be playing baseball this spring. Reminds me of my brother Scott playing when he was a kid! Scott was a pitcher for a long time from what I can remember. I dont remember his team's name though. Mom would have to remind me (if she remembers).

I can't believe my oldest is growing up so fast. Our parents always say, "Enjoy them while they are young because before you know it, they'll be out of the house." I can see this happening pretty quickly! Too soon for my liking! ;-(

New 2-wheeler on the Block!

Do you Utah people remember that one really nice week we had a few weeks ago? Yeah, we haven't seen it for a while. Karianne decided she wanted me to take her training wheels off of her bike. At first I told her to wait until her Dad got home because I really didn't want to mess with it right then. Well finally I told her I would try to take them off. I got them off for her and she practiced all day. I took them off around noon and went with her on a short walk that ended up taking a long time but it was well worth it. She would pedal one turn around then stop and catch her balance all day. The more she did it the better she got. By that evening she had it down to a "T". She did great! She was so excited to show Dad what she had been working on ALL day! It's a good thing she has a short bike because I think it's the only way she could have done it. We're so proud of our baby girl!
