The park

On Thursday Geoff called and invited us girls to come down and meet him for lunch at a park near the school. So... of coarse we said yes!!!! We went to the park and it was soooo fun! Macie loved it. This is the first park visit of the year. She is getting so big and is trying to climb up on things that I don't think she is big enough for, but she always does it and is fine. Addie had a great time too. She enjoyed being outside and loved watching Macie run around. Addie even tried the swings and loved them! (Macie said Addie really wanted to swing and that she needed to push her.) We all had a good time and it is ALWAYS great to see dad anytime we can!!!!!Happy girl in her car seat! Geoff and Macie going down the slide. So Cute!

This was supposed to a picture of both of them going down the slide. I guess that they are to fast for the camera! I think that it is a funny picture. You can tell that both of them are having a great time, hands in the air and all!!!!

Macie pushing Addie on the swing. They are both loving it!!! Just look at how excited Addie is!!!The girls giving us one final smile together before it was time to leave.

Thanks for the fun time Geoff!!! We love you!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter. We had a great Easter this year!!! It was such a nice relaxing morning and a ton of fun with the girls. We tried to tell Macie the night before the true meaning of Easter. She doesn't really understand yet, but maybe that is because she doesn't sit still for longer than 2 minutes when we try to explain things to her. Oh well, one day we will get there. The new dresses and toys.

The girls in their Easter dresses. So Cute!!!

Easter Egg Hunts

This year Macie was able to participate in 4 easter egg hunts. She loved it!!!!! The first one was a city one where she was quite terrified at first and didn't know what to think, the rest were just little ones we did with some friends. It has been a lot of fun!!! She is at such a fun age and really enjoys these things.

This video is of the first easter egg hunt she went to. They counted down from 10 and then said go, so all of the kids went at the same time. Instead of running with everyone else, she had a breakdown.

*(I was not there for this one because I went to Idaho for my brother's wedding, which is why Geoff is doing the filming and Macie is crying for him at the same time.)*

Here are some pictures of the rest of the easter egg hunts. The lineup: Macie, Bailey, Halle, Trevor

Gathering eggs!!

Nice pose!!!

The crew waiting for the GO!!!!

Showing us how much she got!

WOW!!! What a busy day! She got so many eggs it is quite disgusting. Notice in these pictures that her hair is straight. She let me straighten it and it looks sooooo different. I don't really know what to think of it...but I like it better curly!

Messy Macie

Geoff and Macie were making brownies for family night and Macie really wanted to lick the spoon. So Geoff let her. Here is how messy she got in the process. She made sure that she got every last drop off of that spoon. It was pretty funny. She kept inspecting it to make sure there was nothing left.

All Done!!! Thanks dad!!!!

The other morning, I was getting ready and went upstairs to go and get Addie. Macie was left downstairs watching cartoons. When I came back downstairs, She had a pen and was looking in the mirror as she colored on her face!!!! It was pretty funny. She was surely enjoying herself. I think she was trying to color a mustache.

Timeout

The other day Macie and her friend got put in timeout. They were being really naughty. We put them in time out on the stairs. They started talking. This is what was said:

Macie: "Hey Tony, you want to cry with me?"

Tony: "No!"

Macie: "Oh!?! Ahhh, ahhh." (fake crying) then she notices that Tony isn't joining in, and she stops.

I was laughing so hard. If you could have seen the facial expressions that went with this conversation....priceless!
