Happy Easter

Happy Easter!! I hope that everybody had a good Easter. This is a little late but I wanted to post some pictures anyway!!! This is Brian looking for his Easter basket (yes, the Easter bunny hides it from him!!) This year he got to look for two baskets!!
This was just so cute!! I don't make finding his basket easy on him, he usually asks for hints!! What a mean bunny!!!!

They finally found their baskets!!! We were running late for church so I had to pretty much tell him where the bunny hid his basket!

I was not watching close enough and Makaylee found her chocolate bunny, I had to take it away so she didn't get her cute dress dirty.

My friend and I made cupcakes for her family on Friday. She did not end up liking them so she told me to take them home and she would start over. I didn't care what they looked like, they were yummy!!

Too many birthday's!!!!

April 8th is a busy day for Brian and I. Our mom's both turn a year older on that day! On Wednesday Makaylee and I went up to my parents house and hung around and then Brian came up later.......just in time to go to dinner with us. We went to Rock Creek Pizza and then came home and ate an ice cream cake with my grandparents.

Happy Birthday mom's!! (I'll post later on Brian's mom)

My family loves to ruin pictures!!! It will take us hours to get one decent family picture, so I decided that I would just post this and if they didn't like it oh well, maybe they should smile next time!!

I got both of our moms the same thing, it is hard to buy for two women on the same day!! I think that I am going to try and think ahead next year and do the shopping before April 8th!! It actually wasn't that hard, I saw it and thought both of them could use one!!

MTC

We dropped my favorite brother-in-law Eric off at the MTC on the 25th. Of course I had mixed emotions about it. My brothers have gone on missions and they grew up a lot and had fun. I am excited that he is able to experience this, but I am also selfish in not wanting him to go because I have fun with him and don't want to share him! I went prepared to the MTC with a bag of toys that I hid in his suitcase and NO makeup on my face!! I figured I would look better with just a red face rather than a red face with black streamers going down my cheeks!

Last glance of a cell phone! Makylee doesn't want him to go either, she it trying to destroy his papers by gumming them until no longer recognizable.

Ignore the chin area......I probably should have had somebody else take the picture!!! Isn't he cute??? If you are around the age of 19 and want to write him I can give his address out!!

This is Eric holding Makaylee the night he got set apart, very cute picture!! I got lucky with this picture, It looks like she is smiling but she is actually in the act of throwing a fit! Lucky me!

101 years old and counting!!

This is Brian's grandpa. He is 101 years old and counting!!! We went and saw him last Sunday and he wanted a picture with Makaylee. They are five months shy of being 101 years apart, crazy!!! His hearing and sight are not that great anymore but the man is still quick and definitely still has his sense of humor!!
This is four generations!

Makaylee was fascinated with her new friend, I had to warn him not to get to close or she might claw him with her daggers we call fingernails (I cut them almost every week)!!

Wagon ride!!

Makaylee's cousin Dylan got a wagon for his birthday a couple weeks ago, since it is to cold to go outside Uncle Eric takes them around the house!! Kaylee can sit up really well but she suprised me at just how well she is sitting, i think they made fugure eights around the furniture for a half hour. The kids loved it so much the boys would have to take turns hauling them around, everytime one of them would say "ok, im done" Dylan would beg for more.

I love this picture!! heheehe He needed a nap!!

Rice cereal!!

This is Makaylee's first rice cereal experience!! If you look at the photo that is her excited! She tenses up, starts shaking her arms and kicking her feet. I thought that it was going to be super fun and we were going to make a huge mess and get good pictures. i was wrong! After reading and following the directions on the package, her cereal turned out to look like water with floaties. She couldn't have been happier to eat out of a spoon, even if it was just water. I guess that i wasn't going fast enough cause most of the time she would try and take the spoon right out of my hand and feed herself. Hey, we did end up making a mess! (That is probably more drool than cereal!)
Look at the way cute bib, I love it!!!!

My dads birthday

Sorry not very good at the picture thing I'm not sure how to flip them. Anyway, my dads birthday was last Friday so I wanted to do something funny cause every time you ask him what he wants he says world peace and it's not going to happen anytime soon!! The guy doesn't need anything. He doesn't make it easy on us to shop for him.My dad is a CPA and I have seen little "tax deduction" onesies at Target for the last i don't know how many years, I was excited this year to see them, and then I was crushed cause I never found them, hello it is tax season!!! I made this one with a tee shirt and some stickers.This is the cutest pic I got out of her, and let me tell you it took two days (the second picture is what she looked like for most of the pics).

So he turned the big 5-0 this year and most of what he got was for his pond. He has put a lot of sweat into this pond, everybody has contributed to the pond. Makaylee and I even helped rearrange some rocks, (I fell in the pond when I was pregnant and then he had to redo that part cause the rocks didn't fit back into place). His gift from my mom was a big pump so now the water is no longer stagnant. It makes noise, it is super awesome!! It needed a bigger pump cause the one thay had would trickle out at the top and he wanted noise!! The last picture is the final result, i wish I had a picture to show what the yard looked like before cause i looked nothing like that, it didn't even have grass when them moved in, it was all weeds!

This is him day dreaming about his new pump!

Happy Birthday Dad!!!
