Happy Easter!

We celebrated Easter on Saturday. We Woke up to baskets and eggs from the easter bunny. Of course Paige was all about the candy. Dakota loved her purple my little pony and Cloe was cuddling her bunny. We went to the Water egg hunt at the pool it was a lot of fun I'm even featured on the front page of the newspaper. Cloe was determenind to get the golden egg at the hunt and she swam first thing straight for it and she got a stffed ducky for it. Paige was gathering all of the floating rubber duckies with bunny ears and Dakota was after all the plastic eggs I was so proud of her swimming all around on her own. I've got some brave strong girls.

We got home tooka rest and then went to the Movie Hop it was cute and Paige actually let us watch it. Then we cam ehome for dinner and a little wrestling. It was a good easter. Sunday Brent worked we went to church and celebrated the real meaning of easter.

Happy Spring!

The kids being gangster. Cloe maticulasly making her easter eggs.

Easter egg dieing fun. Brent and I left our eggs in for a very long time and they were super dark and it was fun. Mine was red and his was green we were chrristmas colored spring eggs :)

Kota and dadPaige smiles for the camera. I love how at this age this is what they think it looks like to smile.

Cloe Learned to ride a bike without training wheels all on her own. What determination. She got on her cousins bike and started riding it and so we took hers off when we got home. She been practicing and doing very well and gets right back up when she falls.

The girls made cupcakes. I was making cakes for their birthday's and I got kind of possesive over them so I let them make cupcakes anyway they wanted.

Cloe Turning the light switch on and off with her foot it was hilarious. All of a sudden the lights turned off and we looked over and there her feet were in the air.

We have been busy this spring with activities and mostly enjoying the nice weather playing outside. We also went to Casper and saw my Sister LeeAnn and Uncle Girvin it was nice to see them and we also got to see Grandma Nessi, Pop, Grandma Dot and My friend Heidi. My batteries were out in my Camera so I didn't get any pics. But it was nice to see everyone.

Paige Turns Two!

We went to the park. She was avoiding pictures with smiles the whole day but I caught a couple. She thought it was a very fun game, getting away from moms camera.

Girls Running to the park...it's been so long since it's been nice enough to stay outside for very long.

Paige's smile opening gifts.

Cake and Ice cream. We sure have a lot of cake around the house.

Paige is two and testing me often but she is also such a joy to be with she does smile all the time and she has such an easy going way to her and she loves to brush her teeth in the morning and she goes and get the brushes and hair things and loves to do my hair. What a sweetie. She is talking a lot more, she is very hard to understand but tries to say most things. We were just going through these pictures and she said, "a ide." (the slide)

Dakota Turns Four!

We made necklaces and she wanted to wear a party dress too!

Had Cake....Sleeping Beauty, and Pink and Purple were the most important parts. I had fun my first tie using fondant.

We had cake and ice cream.

Gifts....when we asked what Kota wanted for her Birthday she told me I want friends to come and get me a surprise so that's what she got. :)

Dakota was being a bit reserved with her friends untill we started Duck Duck goose and she was right it there amking everybody laugh.
We also took her out to eat to SideKick and to the Basin theatre Gullivers Travels...It was a good birthday.

Dakota turns four and we had told her when Cloe started preschool that she would get to go to preschool when she turned four so the day after her birthday she asked me do I get to go to school today and it took some convincing when cloe went to school but we made it past it.

We have decided to do big parties every four years so...when they turn four, eight, twelve, and sixteen. That way we can remain sane and be equal. :)

I didn't do it Officer!

Brent is the new Police Officer in town and it's been a nice change so far. We get to see him more and his schedule will be easier to plan around. He liked his job before but this is a good step forward. He's been arresting people, pulling them over, and I've been informed that I better follow the law or I'll be pulled over, so much for benefits j/k :). He's still learning a lot and he'll be going to the academy in August.

Canada...Trip Part 3

We went out bowling one night and it was fun to hang out with Andy and to get to know her boyfriend, John, he is really a good guy I'm happy for her. We went shopping at the local mall and a lady was talking to us about how they had to make the mall look really nice because the americans come by the bus load to shop there and then we mentioned that we were american and she said oh sorry about the american comment. :) And she brought her husband over to meet us and they were very nice and said John looks like the guy off of Million Dollar listing on Bravo and he totally does.

 

Chad from Million Dollar Listing Compare pics Same hair cut and everything crazy.
Just going out to eat together and driving around together it was a great time! We drove back to Detriot and flew home. Drove back from billings... A lot of traveling and long days but well worth the adventure.

The Wedding....Trip Part 2

We drove on to Canada and it was so nice to see family. Aunt Polly, Uncle Ray and Rachel came and it was so nice to have them there and to enjoy them and their company. It was also very nice to meet Grivin's family and to dance and enjoy each other and help each other get ready for the wedding. I think LeeAnn will like living in Canada but we sure will miss her being closer. Getting ready to enter for the ring ceremony.

The Cake Gorgeous! I hope I can make cakes like that some day.

LeeAnn and the Bridesmaids

Andy

The happy couple at the temple.

Overall LeeAnn's Wedding was beautiful, and fun...I must say though I can't really say relaxing. We were busy helping the bride and Brent and I Emcee'd the wedding and there were a lot of late nights and traveling involved. But overall I really loved being there for LeeAnn and sharing this experience with her and getting to see where she'd be living and enjoying family.
