Easter Picnic

Well it has been a year since I have posted anything on this blog. So here are a few of our pictures from our Easter picnic. It was so fun to enjoy time with our little family. It was an extremely windy day until Nate got the kite out. Then it stopped blowing and was calm as could be. Then Nate put the kite away and the gust of wind started right up. Oh well, The girls thought it was great for the few minutes our little kite stayed in the sky.

Easter and the County Fair

The girls had a great time finding Easter eggs and then hiding them and finding them again. It is fun to have a backyard to hide Easter eggs in.

We went to the County Fair with Marsha. Joriann LOVED the animals. She kept saying look, look. We saw cows, pigs, chickens, roosters, rabbits, goats, etc. Pretty much anything that old McDonald had we saw. Old McDonald is Joriann's favorite song. She sings e-i-e-i-o.

Joriann was amazed with her eyes wide open the whole time we were there.

Walk Around the Temple

We took the girls to the temple to show them where Mom and Dad were married and where we go on occasional date nights. It was a beautiful day and a fun experience.

Our First Garden

Nate and I planted a garden!!! I am as shocked as anyone. It was inspired by Nate's brother Jarren who planted his own garden and gave us pointers and ideas from the book "Square Foot Gardening". It is so exciting to see it grow and actually see food growing on our plants.

These picture are taken a few weeks apart. I am amazed at how quick everything has started to grow. The real test will be to see if it can survive the heat. We planted tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, watermelon, white onions, red potatoes, and strawberries. We already have 4 bell peppers, 3 tomatoes, and a few strawberries growing!

Leaky Hose

My two water bugs. I was watering my garden with the hose and when I turned around Joriann was taking a shower in the leaking hose. Sister Addilee thought this was a great idea and so since one was already soaked I might as well let both get soaked. They had fun making foot prints on the side walk. Baths were a must that night!

Cookie Maker, Cake Baker

Addilee is my cookie, brownie, cupcake maker. She loves to help make sweet treats in the kitchen. I love to cook with her. She gets soooo excited. We made heart shaped cookies for our pre-school class and every one loved to decorate them and of course eat them. yum!

Alysia's Birthday

Here are my cute kids. Addilee helped make my birthday cake and she helped decorate it. It was so cute to see her excited about doing something for mom. Joriann got to HELP too. It was more like touching and sampling the frosting.

A day at the park. Both of the girls love the park.
