A day at the park!

I love the weather this winter! Is has been so warm! We have had several days at the park and we go walking a lot and it doesn't even seem like it's winter. I love it! I am not a fan of the cold!

E loving the swing!

Mylie loving the swing! It's amazing how much fun they can have on these things. When we go walking I would give Mylie a push then walk the full circle and by the time I would come back she would be at a complete stop waiting for me to push her again. She would do this for a long time!

Climbing the slides!

Loving being outside!

Me and Ar!

This is how Arie spent most of her day at the park!

St. George

Thanks mom and dad for the great vacation to one of our favorite spots, St. George! We had so much fun while we were there and wished we could have stayed longer!

Ethan would hike all day long if we let him! He loves this stuff and is really quite good at it!

Jeff and E on a little hike

Me and mom on our little hike! Thanks mom that was fun! It's so beautiful there it was great to get out and enjoy the outdoors!

Jeff Mylie and Arie strapped into the bike trailer!

It was nice to have this option when Mylie was tired from riding her bike. Thanks mimmy for the hand me down!

Ethan is such a trooper. He loved riding his bike and did a great job. It is so fun to have atleast one kid who doens't need to be pulled behind a bike or carried! Way to go E! I can't wait until all of our kids can do this and we can all go for long bike rides together.

Mylie's first dance competition!

This is Mylie the night before her first dance competition. She was so excited to get all the curlers in her hair. Isn't she a cutie?

Here is Mylie with two of her buddies Kira and Kelsie! They all look so cute! I really tried to get them all to smile for a picture but they were way too excited to twirl around in their dance outfits so this is all I got:) (Note to self.........no need to use the smallest curlers on Mylies hair. I was trying to make it really curly and she ended up with poodle hair:)

Ethan was so excited to watch her perform! He was so proud of her when she did a good job!

Here is my pretty little dancer! She did such a good job. She really did a lot of the dance and smiled and looked so cute out there. The only two things she did which made me laugh, was when she walked out on stage she stopped at the first star and held up the line of girls walking on the stage. The other thing she did was that when she was done with her performance she walked from the stage straight up through the audience to us. And I was worried about finding her after she was done :) Way to go My!

Easter Fun

All of us minus Jeanie and I at the Easter Egg Hunt. We had great success! Mandi even got big prizes including several free coupons for bowling and food which she gladly shared with her younger cousins! Thanks Mandi we enjoyed going bowling as a family!
All the girls!

Cassie and Mandi are always such good helpers with the kids. Any time you want to stay with us you both are always welcome!

Mylie's 3rd Birthday!!!!!!!

My little My My is 3 years old! I can hardly believe it! She is such a sweet little girl. She is such a great addition to our family. She can always make us laugh with her made up songs and dances. She loves anything pink and sparkly. She loves to paint her "finger tails" or "paint tails" (as she calls them) and get all dressed up fancy with rings necklaces and every hair clip and bow. I love you! Happy Birthday my little princess!

Ethan was such a sweet brother all day on her birthday. In this picture he is helping her pin the tiara. They love each other so much and can be so cute together.
