Easter Dresses

Here is the girls newest favorite game...pushing Addie in the stroller!! The best part is that they both LOVE it and can't get enough of it!! So cute!!

Here are the girls in their Easter Dresses. They wouldn't sit still...so here are the best 2!

Lake Farmpark

Today Macie had a field trip for school. They went to a farm. Addie and I decided that we would go with because Macie asked us to. It was a fun and crazy time. Trying to keep 15 3 year olds together is a hard task. I don't know how these teachers do it everyday!! Anyways...the girls had fun. Here are a few of my favorite quotes from the day:
When looking at the huge pigs Macie points to their feeding troughs and says: "Wow! That is a big potty!!"
When looking at the sheep Addie would say: "Hi doggy!" I would then tell her that it was a sheep and she would look at me and say "doggie!!!!"
All in all it was a fun trip and it is always fun to see the kids around animals. They just get soooo excited.

Here is Macie milking a cow.

Here is Addie playing with the animal puzzle.

Raccoon

A couple of nights ago I was on the computer and Macie comes in and points out the window and says :"Mom, what animal is that?" I turn and look out the window and sitting right there on the roof next to the window is a raccoon. CRAZY!! So we yelled for Geoff, who grabbed the camera and snatched these pictures. We have since discovered that this raccoon loves our roof. We always hear something scampering above our heads at night and have always assumed it was just a squirrel. Well, the other night we heard it, so Geoff ran outside to see if it was the raccoon and it was!! This little guy must think that this is his home.

Happy Birthday Geoff!!!

Today is Geoff's birthday!! He is turning 27. We are sooooo lucky to have such a great dad and husband and just want Geoff to know that we love him and we think the world of him!! Happy birthday babe.

(this video is of Geoff trying to wakeboard for the first time. He loves it and can't get enough of it, so I thought that it was fitting to post it on his birthday!! Love you babe!!)

For Aunt Nana

Macie: "mom, I want to have bracelets on my teeth like aunt Nana"
Me: "Your to little to have braces, and they are not fun to have, they hurt your mouth and give you owies."
Macie: "but I want them. I want to be like Nana."

Easter

Happy Easter!! This was so fun, especially because it was conference so we were able to just stay home and enjoy the time together. The Easter bunny came and brought the girls some fun toys. They have been well loved and used. Plus it was beautiful weather. All in all it was a fun Easter.

Here is what the Easter bunny brought the girls.
The Easter bunny hid eggs around the house. Here are the girls finding them.
Say Cheese!!
Here they are playing with their new Zhu Zhu pets!! If you don't have any of these...buy them. They are sooooo fun!! The girls are totally in LOVE with them!! They scoot around the floor like real pets and make noises. Macie has requested that we build them a house and I have made them sleeping bags and blankets. It is sooo cute how much they love these gerbils. Addie carries hers everywhere she goes, and when we take it away at night she just sits and cries for it. It is sooo funny. Anyways....go and buy one! They are awesome toys!

Easter egg hunt

Our ward Young women did a fundraiser this morning to raise money for girls camp. They did a pancake breakfast with an Easter egg hunt. It was fun and they had a great turnout. Anyways, here are some pictures of the girls doing the Easter egg hunt.

Addie with her first find

Macie grabbed Addie's hand and said "Addie, I will show you which way to go" (so cute. I love the moments like this that just totally melt your heart!!)

The girls showing us their loot. Macie grabbed an egg to show Geoff and Addie is such a copycat that she had to do the same thing.
Also, I just wanted to let Macie know how proud I am of her. There was a little girl crying because she didn't get any eggs and Macie went over and gave her some of her own. So sweet and nice. I love you girls!!!

spring weather?!

ok, the past few days have been BEAUTIFUL!!!! We have been blessed with warm summer weather. It was between 75-85 degrees the past few days and we have been taking full advantage. I have planted flowers, cleaned out my garage, raked and weeded my lawn, and we are all sunburned!!! It has been GREAT!! So, since it was sooooo warm, we decided that it was time to get the pool out. And boy did the kids enjoy it! Can't wait for the weather to be like this everyday!!!
