Testimony

Lindsey wrote down her testimony during sacrament meeting awhile back. It was such a sweet thing to read and she did it without any prompting from us. I'm so proud of her!

Braids

I love doing all the girls hair the same way. Here they all are with double braids. Every time Livi gets her hair done she runs out to the other kids saying, "Look at me!!!" all proudly. They always chime in with plenty of oooohs and aaaaaahs to satisfy her grinning face - she's definitely the baby of the family! 

Granny!!!

We were so glad to have Granny come visit! We were all sick most of the time she was here and she spoiled us with groceries, meals, babysitting, and chores around the house. Thank you Mom! 

We got to walk around the fountains at Bridge Street before watching the movie Cinderella. 

Enjoying yummy cookies before the movie started . . .

We went on a Peter Cotton Tail Train Ride. I've always wanted to ride on a train, so it was neat to experience. They do a Polar Express ride at Christmas and a few other holiday rides. I think it was one of those things we'll only do one time though.

At the end of the ride they gave each child a stuffed bunny. Olivia was so darling as she just snuggled hers the whole time walking back to the van. So precious!!!

The kids got Easter surprises from Granny when she arrived and then they got visited by the Easter bunny too! Spoiled kids!!!

We had a picnic lunch in the living room right before conference started.

Dying eggs in between sessions. Olivia was asleep, but my past experiences with little ones dying eggs haven't been the best, so we were happy to just let her keep on sleeping. 

The church right across from our subdivision had an Easter egg hunt, a bunch of inflatables, some mini ponies, and even some horse rides. I didn't bring my camera and my phone memory was full, so we only got these two pictures. The horse ride line was too long, so we didn't do that this year, but we still had a lot of fun!

Livi fell asleep on the ride home from a very fulfilling Sam's Club trip. Thanks Mom!

Playing outside and blowing bubbles . . .

The kids all enjoyed watching Cole attack the bubbles!

Pretending they're gathered around a campfire telling ghost stories . . .

It finally stopped raining long enough for us to go to a park and play!

Granny painting fingernails . . .

Loving on the sick kiddos . . .

Cooper wanted a picture with his new lion and then Livi wanted a picture too . . .

We were so glad Granny was able to visit!!! We miss and love you Mom! Thanks for everything!
