Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday shout out to my girl!

Easter

Our Easter Egg Hunt was such fun! Randy is such a great hider, in fact a little too great (at some future date two eggs with melted candy in them will be discovered) CreeAnna ended up with the most (we maybe should cut back on the little girls head start next year :P) In the bottom left picture you can see Aubrynn fuming because as she lifted a plastic disc to get the egg underneath, Daisy ran in and stole it out from under her. hehe.

After the egg hunt we did our Annual Easter Scavenger Hunt.

The girls were excited to get a new Wii game as one of the prizes.


I did our hunt a little differently this year. I felt badly that I hadn't done as much spiritual things as I should have so instead of making up fill-in-the-blank poem clues, I did scripture hunt clues for the older girls. Some were pretty hard, but they did a great job! See if you can get them- D&C 84:92, Alma 24:15, D&C 89:16, D&C 25:12, Alma 32:41, 3 Nephi 13:28

Later we went to Randy's family's for more good food and another Egg Hunt. Can you say Sugar Rush?

Such cute girls!

Easter Saturday

On your mark. Get set. Go!

Go Daisy Go! (Hehe I love this picture)

The gang (^ love Bryson!)

The kids gather round to divide The Stash! (making things even means less tears :P)

Easter at my parents house was so much fun as always. Good food, fun egg hunt, and games. My sister (next door) had downloaded Super Mario Bro (the original) onto her Wii. OMGosh I was laughing so hard I almost peed my pants! "Jump right there! I remember it's a bank!" Seriously a trip down memory lane! Later we also played Settler's of Catan. I so lost, but it's so fun to play! The battle of wits has begun.

April Fool's

We always love to make crazy food spoof's on April Fool's so this year we ate frosted cupcakes for dinner (sheppard's pie with colored mashed potatoes (it unintentionally ended up a way scary blue, that upon commenting on I realized my kids have no idea what smurfs are?!) and strawberry lemonade (jello, hehe-'just suck harder!') and for dessert we had fish sticks (sugar wafers coated in peanut butter then corn flake crumbs with strawberry jam for dipping) with peas and carrots (balls made of green airhead and orange tic-tac's) Bon Appetite!

Warm Fuzzy of the Week :)

I'm gonna start a new 'feature' of my non-existing blogness that I like to call Warm Fuzzy of the Week where I can highlight somethings that make life so great!

This week my warm fuzzy is absolutely fabulous friends! I love that my two best friends, not only are seriously the coolest people I know, but that just talking with them makes me see all the good in myself, in the world around us, and in everyday life - and of course the good/greatness in them which inspires me to be a better person and try things I normally won't have the guts to do on my own. I love that even as I'm being lifted I, amazingly enough, seem to be lifting them as well, so that afterwards we are all standing on higher ground than we were before. Thanks girls, for everything! You are the best!

Cree's Daddy Daughter Date

CreeAnna and Dad had such fun on their date. First they ate out at a seafood restraunt (Cree got a sampler platter that included crab), then they went to Toys-R-Us where he let her pick out a barbie (she got a swimming one that came with two dolphins), then they went out for ice cream finally coming home well after bedtime despite the fact that it was a school night. Can I just say it's no surprise how much the girls look forward to this day with their dad, he spoils them rotten! Where can I sign up?

Rockin' in the New Year

We rung in the New Year 'Rock Band' style! making good use of our new Christmas toy. Everyone dressed up like their alter-rock character-ego that they created for the game (except for Daisy -no one's quite sure where's she's going with that!) The girls favorite song to play is 'That's What You Get' by Paramore (Cree wails on vocals!)

We ended the night with a bang, well lots of them really, shooting of fireworks and banging pots and pans outside (much to the chagrin of our good neighbors, I'm sure). Well here's to a good year!

Cheers!
