Cute Boy!

Dad's Day

April 5th was Dad's Day at Madilynn's preschool. You can tell how excited she was to take her dad to school and be with him all by herself.

April 9th was Dad's Day at Savannah's preschool. She couldn't wait until Dad could go to preschool with her. They had a great time together. Here is what she said about her dad:

(she got everything right except the weight)

Easter 2010

Savannah and Madilynn visiting the Easter Bunny...Olivia was scared and Austin didn't care.
(I don't think the bunny knew who was taking the picture)


Tradition to ride the Valley West Mall Train.

Friday before Easter we had an Easter Egg Hunt with friends. It was a little cold and windy but the kids had fun anyway.

We had a Branch Easter Breakfast and Egg hunt at the Church on Saturday before Conference.

Saturday Night we dyed our Easter Eggs and like always we run out of eggs before we want to be done but had a good time anyway.


Easter Morning the kids woke up and found that the Easter Bunny had hidden their baskets along with the eggs. They had a great time looking for their baskets and eggs. Then since it was General Conference we just hung out all day and watched Conference and ate lots of candy.

Austin's 1st Easter. He got a truck instead of an Easter Basket...I am sure he will love it one day.

Easter Morning,the girls with their baskets

Do your kids look for Easter Eggs the same way they look for their shoes or are they better when looking for eggs? Our kids look the same way no matter what they are looking for. We thought they would be better looking for eggs...guess not.

Riding

Savannah learned how to ride a two-wheeler bike last week.

It all started when I bought her a new big bike so Madi could have her old bike. Well our first family walk (Sunday evening) after I fixed all the bikes with trainning wheels she bent the trainning wheel the first 100 yards and I ended up holding her up the rest of the time, until towards the end of the walk I decided to see what she could do. I held on to the back of her seat and ran with her and eventually let go... she actually rode by herself and then Jason had to step in because I couldn't run as fast as she could ride. But in the end the bike was too big for her to get on and off of.

So on Friday (almost a whole week later) I decided to take the trainning wheels off Madi's bike (sorry Madi) and we went out on a new big open street with no houses or cars and I taught her how to ride. She didn't need much help at all. She could balance immediately and even could brake and get off so the thing we really "practiced" was getting started all by herself. By the time the sun went down she had it. She is so proud of herself and so are Jason and I. Now if we only had a place for her to ride all the time.

PS Then this week she taught herself how to turn and ride on the grass.

Good Job Savannah! We are so proud of you and all you practicing. (I have been trying to teach her that it takes practice to be good at something, that all the dancers, and people she sees on TV practice hard to be good at what they do they just don't try it once and they are done.)

Spring Time!

Spring is such a wonderful time of the year after being stuck in the house all winter long.

ENJOY!
