Kites and Bikes!

The girls got kites and bikes for Easter! This is the best place to fly kites! You don't even have to run to get them in the air. It wasn't even super windy but they would take off in their own. The girls had so much fun flying their kites! 

Don't let Haylee's shorts fool you, it was pretty cold! 

They got awesome bikes from the easter bunny! 

We went to Walmart on Saturday and picked out bikes. The lady working at Walmart was going to take them up to the cash register for us, but when we got up to pay for them they were gone! The cashier told us that it would be 3 or 4 days before the bikes would be ready. The girls were really sad. But Easter morning we went downstairs and the two bikes that the girls wanted were there! We figured out that the bunny we saw the was the real Easter Bunny and he stole the bikes!! 

Easter Sunday

We went to the Squires house for Sunday lunch. After we ate, Olivia took the girls for rides in her go cart then they rode bikes for an hour! 

The girls love their new helmets! 

Easter weekend

This weekend was kinda fun and kinda sad. Here are some of the things we did instead of going to Bountiful. 

We Skyped Grandma B and Liz while they were dying eggs. 

Liz even took requests and made us personalized eggs! 

We colored 5 dozen eggs at our house and it was not enough!

I like this next picture because of Maycie's photo bombing. She's creepy. 

Haylee did two eggs then she was done. Bret did one egg. Correction-he did HALF an egg.

Maycie and I did the rest of the eggs! I'm pretty sure Mace is going to take over the tradition! She had so much fun. She's quite the artist! 

Maycie colored lots of circles on her eggs. 

The flowers are my favorite. I was going for a water color effect and I really like them! 

The VW one is for my family! 

This is my favorite flower! 

Maycie liked painting the eggs. 

Oh and we saw the easter bunny at Walmart! 

More of the black eye

It's turning gross colors now!

Goose egg

Maycie keeps saying this is her first goose egg and I just laugh. She fell in the shower and got a good bump swell up right in her eyebrow. The swelling is gone but now she just has a gross looking bruise.

Oh and that's not her bottom lip, she's sticking her tongue out! 

Sleepovers with Bronco!

There's not much explain that needs to be done with these pictures. The 3 of these kids love snuggling!

Maycie loves a Erin!

This is Erin. Have I ever told you how much the girls love her? Maycie wanted to go spend time with her one afternoon. So, we did. She pushed her around, helped do her therapy, gave her lots of hugs. It was sweet to just sit back and watch.

Our fun lately

Laramie sent me a picture of him in his hammock, bare feet with palm trees in the background... so I sent him this one back. 

This is Maycies super awesome Mike Tyson skin tattoo! 

This is from our lesson today.

A new beehive taught. She offered small candy to anybody who was willing to make the "sin" that was on the candy. If you chose the small candy then you fell off the "path". Then for the rest of the girls who didn't choose to sin, they were given a greater reward- the big candy. It was a fun lesson.  I love when they teach because they always have candy! 

Now the part that so excited about, pictures from Springs surprise party yesterday! We had plans to meet up for lunch and pedicures, but when I got to the restaurant I told her I accidently took Brets wallet and needed to run home to drop it off. She rode with me and then I asked her to come inside to look at some pictures that I'd hung (but I didn't really hang any). We came inside, she saw all the decorations and balloons and thought the girls have been playing. She didn't even realize it was a surprise birthday party for her until everybody jumped out and yelled surprise! We had so much fun! 

I made this toilet paper cake. Olivia (Spring's daughter) filled the toilet with "poop" frosting. Hilarious! 

Here are some of the decorations I made. 

The party started at 1 and at 530 we still had 3 guests!  I'm glad people felt comfortable enough to stay! 

We had plans to meet at Spring's house at 6 for a bbq and game night but since Spring and Olivia were still at my house at 6 we didn't make it to their house until about 730. They taught Bret and ia new card game and we played Headbands with the girls. Both games are a lot of fun! 

We left their house a little after midnight. Maycie fell asleep about 1030 but Haylee was awake the entire time! 

That's all for now! 

Fireman of the Year!

It was a fun night and a complete surprise to Bret! I have a video but for some reason I can't post it.

Truffula Tree

Maycie is a truffula tree!

Cat in the Hat day!

Maycie is having Dr Seuss days at school. Yesterday was cat in the Hat day... but I was not allowed to call her Cat in the Hat because she wasn't wearing a hat. So she's Cat Without a Hat!
