Easter 2011

Some of our cute neighbors decided to plan a breakfast Easter egg hunt.

It was so fun hopefully this stays a tradition for the neighborhood.

Some of the cute kids in the neighborhood. 

Emmett just rode around on somebody's plasma car and didn't really care to find eggs

This is at Grandma Wendy's house. the "money" hunt is the kids favorite!!

Addie got the coveted $10 egg!!

Then Grandma gave the girls chicks.
This is where it all began.....

They're pretty cute!!

Our 1st garden

We decided to plant a garden this year. the soil in our yard is horrible

so we had to build a garden box. 

It was very interesting to see what grew like crazy and what didn't.

Our spaghetti squash grew so well we had like 15 huge squash.

The tomatoes didn't do as well as I wanted I think we planted the wrong kind.

the Romas did well. 

The jalapenos did Awesome. the green peppers did ok.

Romaine lettuce did well.

cantelope, watermelon, onions didn't do so well. 

It was really fun to eat the fruits of our labor.

Soccer!!

Addie was the ultimate goalie on her team she really was so good at it.

Kate just really liked to play for the treats afterwards.

Addie in a shoot out....oh they so WON!!

My darling Kate.

Kate is one spunky little girl but she is also super cute. 

Kate is such a joy in our lives she really makes our

family laugh and adds so much dynamic to the family.

Kate we are so proud of you.

Addelyn Grace got Baptized!!

Having your first born get baptized is something to really be excited about.

I will never forget watching Addie walk into to the baptismal font toward her

daddy and make her first covenant with her Heavenly Father. 

I was such a proud mama. 

Addie's Baptism photo shoot.

Grandma Wendy offered to take Addie for own personal 

photo shoot for her Baptism Announcement. Here are some

of my favorites.

Girls Birthday Party

For the girls 5th and 8th Birthday party they wanted to go to the hair school 

and get their hair done and fingernails painted. They got to invite their friends and they

had a blast.

Kate's friend Jerzie

Addie's friends Elle and Rachel

after their hair and nails were done they all lined up for a fashion show.

Red icing makes for perfect red lipstick.
