Happy Easter

Kate asks...

This morning while fixing Kate's hair this was our conversation...

K: Mom, did you ever play Lady Gaga when you were little?

M: Lady Gaga???

K: No, Not Lady gaga. You know the one with the old lady you do stuff for.

M: You mean Mother May I?

K: Yes, that one.

Daddy please...

Don't try and fix this broken sprinkler again.....because this is fun.

happenings...

We have been enjoying the spring weather. love the sound of the children laughing and screaming outside. Feeling of sun on my face.

Gayle and Dale let the kids come play in the dirt. I think my girls were over there for about 6 hours one afternoon. even included a picnic.

Kate so proud of her worm. Hank hitting the baseball...making daddy very proud.

Everyday I wake up and think this kid has grown more. I can't believe how old he is getting. A couple of the things he loves/does. He refers to himself as hankie.

He loves to walk behind the girls in the house and repeat everything they say.

He is constantly throwing things in the air...usually a ball. But today picked up a dirty diaper, waiting to go outside, and yelled diaper and throws it in the air. That is all I need...diaper explosion.

He loves shoes...any and all...usually moms. They are easy to walk in then dads.

He loves firetrucks. He still loves the Jazz even after the season they gave us.

Maylee (and her parents) came to visit. He wanted his buzz costume and then found a few of his own accesories.

When did this happen. I know I have been apart of all of it. But how are my kids growing so fast. I know the one of hank is a little dark, but loved that face.

The girls were in the shower the other day and this is what Meggie said to Kate.

"Kate you need to wash your body and your parts. If you don't wash your body Heavenly Father will be so mad at you."

Scrapbook help

I currently have Photoshop Elements 5.0. I got a new laptop and it is no longer compatible with my Windows. I use it to digital scrapbook. I know how to use it and not sure if I should buy it again or try a new product. I have a friend that uses Creative Memories and loves it. Does anyone have any advice...please I am so far behind and need to start digital scrapping again.

St. George and dance

We headed back out of town again this weekend for

Little Ms. Kate's dance competition

Kate's dance teacher (jill) and girls

every girl was given a trophy for participating in the competition

Kate is on the right in the leg lift.

The girls did such a great job I was so proud of all of the girls.

Then....

the girls were awarded....

1st place for both dances

{Almost there and God help the outcasts}
High Point Trophy and

Grand Champion

{the grand champion trophy was over 5 feet high...the girls were going crazy...so were all of us}

{Thanks, Jill for making our girls look and dance like little girls...there were plenty there that didn't do that...I love having you as Kate's teacher}

Kate and all the trophies

After raining all day it finally stopped around 3:30 and the kids were able to swim for a little while

we had warmed up the pool and it felt like swimming is a bath tub

why is it whenever kids put on google they always look so special

He loved having the goggles on.

Cute

How cute are these???

I felt really crafty today and made these for my girls.

Heard yesterday in the car. I was picking up Kates little friends for school and all the girls climbed in the back.

Meggie was upset and said "I want someone to sit by me"

Erin "Hank is sitting by you"

M- "No. I want a human to sit by me"
