Updates!

I did a BUNCH of updates tonight - so read on. I'm only to April. More will be coming soon!!!

Baby Blessing

We blessed Abigail on April 26, 2010 at our house.

Proud mom and dad!

Proud momma!

We were very happy to be joined by our old home teacher (bro ankeney), my dad (papa), the dad and babe, our bishop (runyon) and neighbor and friend (bro reed)
The happy big kids!
Look at Jacob's cute face. Sometimes it amazes me that they still LOVE her even though she has screamed her head off for so long!

Proud Nana and Papa! Thanks for coming!!!
Can you believe you held me like this just a few short years ago?

Here are a bunch of pictures of the sweet baby girl. I just couldn't decide which ones to put in - so you get lots!

One of my favorites! Somehow I caught her in the middle of a sneeze.

Mom, I did pretty good on the new shots didn't I? The dress is beautiful!!

We had a very quick visit with nana, papa and uncle gree! Thanks for coming to make Abby's special day even more special.

Rosie the Train

It was the vehicle parade at Madelyn's school. We tried to talk her into being Thomas (you know, take the easy way out and use the costume we already made last year) She wouldn't hear of it - so we made her Rosie the Train!

Here is Thomas from last year. We are getting quite good at making trains. I could hire myself out for the right price....

Madelyn is FOUR!!!

Isn't she BEAUTIFUL, my big four year old girl. This is one of my all time favorites of Maddie! Oh those ringlets! Those lips! Those eyes! What a face!!!

Helping Mom make the cake. She wanted chocolate with pink frosting.

Here she is going in for the traditional put your face in the cake on your birthday. Then Barry pushed her face in the cake. She was NOT happy!
We made dad do it too and then everything was OK.

Ella got a little into her cake as well. She just liked smooshing it on her lips.

Opening presents. Look at the joy on that face!

Her favorite Wii game. We can play for hours and hours......I think Uncle Greg might also like one, whom ever gets his name for Christmas (hint hint). He makes a GOOD princess!

The friend birthday party. We had a house FULL of princesses. They were so cute!

Jacob's School Activities

Jacob's school held an open house where we got to go see the whole school and LOTS of work and art work by the students. It was really fun. Here is Jacob standing by one of his pictures. (It is the one above his head) It is him and Madelyn and Ella. And it says, What would he do in the summer? He would play with his sisters Madelyn and Ella.

Another day/night the kindergarten kids did a music program. Jacob's class had to be elephants. Here is what we came up with for Jacob. He is pretty cute if you ask me!!

He was fairly easy to spot amongst the kids because he had the biggest ears!

Easter 2010

We had lots of fun this Easter.

Madelyn had an Easter party at school. LOTS of eggs, LOTS of fun!

Decorating Easter Eggs at home.
Finding our baskets in the back yard. We looked and looked but there weren't any eggs. We thought the Easter bunny had forgotten. That little sneaker hid them in the front yard. We hunted eggs with our neighbor friend Sawyer. IT WAS FUN!
