Easter

I love Easter! I would love it even more if the weather was nice! This year we had an egg hunt on Saturday with some friends. It was really fun, the kids had a blast! Thanks Isaac and Lyndee for inviting us and not giving up on us! This is the first year we were able to go because we usually have family things going on. Then later it was off to Grandma and Grandpa Kunz's for dying Easter egg's and decorating cakes! The kids always love dying the eggs and the cake was a real bonus, they loved it! Thanks mom and dad.
Then on Easter Sunday the kids were up bright and early to find their Easter baskets. Hadley usually comes in our room when she wakes up, but not this time. She was already on the hunt!
The Easter Bunny hid more eggs for them to find, so they were real excited about that. They found their baskets pretty quick and of course all Lexi cared about was the candy! She is my little sugar baby! Then we got all dolled up and headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Carlson's to say Happy Easter, then it was off to Grandma and Grandpa Kunz's again for yet another egg hunt and a yummy dinner. With all the hokus pokus all day, we did find time to watch or listen to general conference. It's always nice to hear from our beloved Prophet and the other leaders of the church.
So, again I have a million pictures...sorry, I'm kind of a freak when it comes to taking pictures of my kids!

I love this picture! Hadley fell asleep like this

on the way home the other day. Lexi was really

into the movie!

We had to paint and color more eggs at home

because I accidentally made Hadley's real special

egg that she made at Grandma's into a deviled egg!!

I had to get some close ups of my cute girls. I'm

not sure if you can tell but they had bling in their

hair and they thought they were pretty cool!

It's A Girl!!

All of you already know we are having another girl, I am just doing this for my records! We have known for a while now, but I have been waiting to see if I could get the ultrasound pictures posted, but we are having issues so I decided to just post it.

Surprise, surprise! I knew our chances of having a boy were not too good, but I still thought this one would be a boy. Of course I was wrong and Tyler was right. He is okay with it....even a little excited I think. But I did hear "I told you so" a lot. I am excited, she will fit right in and honestly, I do not know what I would do with a boy. Hadley got her way, she wanted nothing to do with a boy, she is way excited. We are used to drama anyway, maybe by the third child we will have found a way to deal with it better!

Also, I forgot to give a shout out to Tyler for his birthday. Happy Birthday!!! We love you so much! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and our girls are so blessed to have such a great daddy! You are the best, thanks for all you do!

What We Have Been Up To

I am not sure where this picture came from. My guess is that Hadley asked her dad to take a picture of them. She loves getting her picture taken. They sure are cute little girls though!

We rode bikes when the weather was nice!
The kids love riding bikes. I love to see my little
Lexi pedaling her little bike. She is such a peanut!
She thinks she is as big as her sister!

Hadley had Kindergarten Orientation. She was so excited about it. She thinks she is so big! Well I guess she is. It was long and boring for me in the gym watching a projector, but they took the kids and did different activities while the parents got the low down on what to expect from Kindergarten. She got a huge cookie and a cowboy...I mean cowGirl hat to wear on the first day of school. She is so excited about being a Foothills Mustang! She is so cute. I can't believe my baby will soon be in Kindergarten!

She is so excited about Kindergarten!

Hadley also had her Field Trip to the Clark Planetarium. She was so excited about it. She loved learning about all the different planets at school. During the movie, we took a trip to all the planets and she said it felt real and was kind of scary.

February came and went much faster than January. Thank Goodness!! We didn't do much. I would say the highlight was Valentines Day. Hadley loved getting all her little Valentines from school. We did make it to Chuck E. Cheese one night thanks to Hadley. One night after Tyler got home, Hadley randomly said it would be fun to go there and I said it would be and we would have to go some time. Of course she said, how about now? So it was a spur of the moment decision but we went. It was kind of nice to just go without thinking about it and the kids were way excited about it.

Hadley and Chuck! Lexi was hilarious, she

ran after her sister to see where she was going,

turned the corner saw Chuck and booked it in the

opposite direction screaming and shaking! It was

so funny. She is afraid of anything that is dressed up.

My Cute Girls!

The girls turned in their tickets for some prizes

at Chuck E. Cheese. Lexi's favorite was the stick

on earrings. She thought she was so cute! She looks so

grown up with her hair pulled back and earrings on!

January 2010

I am so glad January is finally over. It was a long and dreary month. A lot of that had to do with the fact that I was sick half of December and all of January. And for the very few of you who don't know, yes I am pregnant! I am due in August this time instead of July, so that is exciting. So the month of January was not all that great for me but we did manage to have a little bit of fun.
We did get a chance to go sledding at the cabin for a weekend with our good friends Chris and Lindsey Barfuss and their cute kids Madison and Cayden. It was so nice to get away and have a change of scenery. The kids had a blast! Lexi asks me all the time if we can go to the cabin and go sledding. They were quite the dare devils. All of them, including Lexi of course went down the hill by themselves, they even went on their stomach. Lexi thought she was a big shot until Tyler made them walk back up the hill dragging their own sled. She was not a fan of that at all. She is use to being pulled up the hill on the sled. We had a great time!
Then there was one day that the girls put on their own little dance recital for me and Hadley made sure I took pictures. I'm glad I did because I forgot all about it until I saw the pictures. It was really cute. I love my girls!
Last, but not least, my little Haddy lost her first tooth! She was really excited. It had been loose forever, the tooth growing behind it was pushing it out. I asked Hailee to convince her to let her pull it out. Hadley will do anything for her Aunt Hailee. So between her and Amie, they finally got it out. Hadley was so brave up until the very end when it was real close to coming out. She cried and said it hurt her but I think she was just scared. She did a great job though. And you would think her little sister watching that would be kind of scared especially because she kind of freaked out toward the end. But not my Lexi, she told Hailee it was her turn and opened her mouth wide!
