Eggtastic Easter!

We got to see the Easter bunny at the mall in billings and the girls got to spend some of their piggy bank money and pick something out all on their own they were very excited about that.  Paige was so excited to see the "Eater bunny" I loved it.  It made for great motivation to get through the mall with good behavior.

 We went to the egg hunt at the nursing home.  The girls had a blast.  In that first picture of the egg hunt that is Cloe out in the distance it she went as fast and as far out as she could to find all the stuffed animals and she got a lot of them just not much candy. That neon yellow blob is her. Of course all Paige cared about was the candy.  KotaLee got a bunch of candy too but she had lot's of fun with a friend of hers just going out and finding it together.

 It was fun to have grandma here this year for Easter.  My favorite story of Easter was when Paige woke up in the middle of the night so scared and she was screaming, "Mom, Mom!" I went in to see what was the matter and she said, "A Monster, A Monster." I tried calming her down but she was convinced then I said did the monster sound like this, and I made snoring sounds. And she said, "Yah."  I said that's Grandma.  She was sleeping in the bunk below. :)  Grandma woke up and reassured her and she went back to sleep.

 We had fun Dying Easter eggs and finding their baskets and eggs that the Easter bunny brought and hid.  We had a nice Easter dinner of steak and deviled eggs... It was just a great Easter!

Catching Up!

I am still trying to figure out this new system for the blog! In the first Picture Paige was so proud and excited about the cupcakes that she made for her preschool class she kept doing this really cute dance every time I was trying to get her picture. She put so many sprinkles on one of the cupcakes I tried to convince her to put some sprinkles on some of the other cupcakes but she just kept playing cupcake favorites, I'm guessing she was decorating her cupcake. :)

She wanted "Nowy" (snowy) on her cupcake which is one of the horses that was at the coral were we've been having lesson's.  She talks about this horse all the time (I'm guessing that the horses pink blanket had a lot to do with this obsession.  So she also got a snowy stuffed animal and likes to name every white horse we see snowy. It is very cute! So that is Snowy on her cake. :) She dressed up really nice for her birthday and everything and even had her hair done nice although that hair of hers it doesn't stay tame for long. I do love those curly locks though and others like to comment on them too, she will touch her hair so softly when someone mentions it.

Now I know we are only having friend parties every 4 years but both of the other girls had a party before they turned 4 so she got to have some friends at her birthday and her best friend Callie was there sweet friends I love it!  I can't Believe that she is three what a sweet fun girl that we have in our family, we enjoy her very much!

Birthday Time!!

Kota wants to be a Cowgirl! One day she said, "Mom, I can't take dance class anymore." I asked her why. She said, "Because I'm going to be a cowgirl."

Kota wanted to go to the Overland (fast food) for her Birthday dinner, then she said, " but everyone has to get pizza." So we just ordered some pizza's from the overland and then we did gifts and cake when dad was home for dinner break. Dad also took her to her horse riding lesson all by herself. She loved it.
The cake that she wanted was the one that she keeps seeing in her baby book it is the cake she had on her first birthday, with a few tweeks. She also wanted panda cake balls and those were cute and fun!

She is Five now I can't believe it she's growing so fast. One thing that I love about Dakota is that she knows what she wants and she sticks to it and goes after it. She loves to be a leader and she is also very kind and loving. She loves to be tricky and make jokes.

I love My KotaLee!

March 17th

You can't tell that the kids were finished with pictures or anything!

We went to Uncle's Brice's Wedding on March 17th they had a beautiful wedding and reception. All their nieces had gorgeous blue dresses they all looked so cute. At times I struggled to know where my children were they all looked so much alike. :) I was sick unfortunately and missed some of the fun the day before but got to enjoy the hotel room to myself to recover luckily my grandma got me into her doctor while we were there and got me some antibiotics. So I was feeling a bit better for the wedding and reception. It was so fun to dance with Brent and everyone else too. We got to see my mom on the way there. My Grandma and Aunt Leslie when we got there and then of course the whole Casey Crew during the festivities and then we got to see my Aunt Polly and Uncle Ray on the way home. So we really had a loaded time. I got tons of great pictures of everyone to bad I'm not in the mood to post a million pictures tonight argh okay I was going to post more but in won't let me do that right now. I really enjoyed the Christmas gift I got for Brent this year. (his camera)

So not only is March 17th St. Patrick's Day and the day Uncle Brice got married it is also Uncle Darren's Birthday and then this year it was my new Nieces Birthday! Ella was 7 lbs 7 oz I took these pics from my sissy's blog. Soooo cute!

Fun at Home!

Paige eating her yummy sundae!
Cloe precisely decorating her ice cream sundae.

All the girls making their sundae's. Their eyes where definitely bigger then their stomach's. But they loved it. (I needed photo shop on these two photo's :)
Kota explaining how she made her sundae to me.

We have extra girls staying at our house for awhile. It's been fun having them. We've been busy and enjoying our extra guests Brent is really outnumbered now. If we have more kids this is what it could be for him :). Anyway, For FHE we had a treasure hunt and Ice cream sundae's Cloe and I teamed up and did this. Brent gave the lesson about needing light in the dark. We also enjoyed swimming at the local pool last week. It was nice to have some help with all the girls.

We Say Dance!

I Started a new Blog to feature Dance stuff and inform parents. If you are intested in seeing what we are up too check it out. Cloe performed at the girls b-ball game(Check it out on youtube) and my hip hop class at the boys b-ball game.

Paige Starts Preschool

Yeah Paige is so excited to be starting preschool. She loves her backpack and has a smile every time we go. She is really getting so much better with her speech but it is nice for her to get that extra attention.
