Macie turned 1

Happy birthday Macie! For her birthday she got 3 warm milk babas compliments of B and 3 silky blankies from Mom. She got to eat a cake pop during her photo shoot and loved every bite.We were going to have a party for her in Utah along with Brinley's baptism but Macie slept right through the festivities.

Snow in May...what the hey!

Spring was a little delayed this year as it snowed over a foot a couple times at the  end of May and beginning of May. Brinley only went to or played at 4 of out 8 soccer games and 2 out of 9 practices. Awesome...and so glad I paid $90 for her to watch it snow instead of play soccer.

April fools

Brinley loves April Fools Day. I think she gets it from Grandma K. She made salt brownies and thought it was the coolest thing ever. The kids even got one of the missionaries to fall for their trick. It was hilarious. Matthew also thought it would be funny to Saran wrap the toilet. Good thing he is so obvious because if I would have fallen for that after I had hopped my way to the bathroom with my broken foot in the middle of the night I would have been pretty mad!!

Dirt, detergent and sand...

Are just a few of her favorite things to eat!

Macie is such a doll even when I have to dig random things out of her mouth. She will lay on her belly and kick her legs. Its the cutest things ever!

What I did during spring break...

I had no where to go...actually I couldn't go anywhere so I made a bazillion or at least 100 cake pops for Brinley's baptism luncheon.

Love notes from Matt....

Easter

Easter was fun this year. We decorated and ate lots of eggs, hunted for eggs and hopefully my kids will remember Christ and the resurrection as well as all the candy they consumed.

Miss B. She always gets so messy when we do things like this...she is so creative.

Even Macie got some eggs.

Church was at 9 am. We made the kids get ready before they could check out their stuff.

Matthew had shot his other arrow like this over the fence to a yard with a dog that chews EVERYTHING. Needless to say there was not an arrow left by the time we made it over there.

Ankle

Now that I can walk I feel like I should be able to do everything again but its just not happening. I kinda liked the simple life. I don't miss not being able to walk. I love and I mean I LOVE being able to walk. It's seriously amazing. I also love holding Macie. It's so easy to walk upstairs and grab her out of the crib. I will never take that for granted again! I can walk but my ankle is still very tight and sometimes painful. I make improvements everyday but want to see things improve faster. :) I have to be ready for Havasu in 6 weeks.

These are my Grandma's hiking boots that she bought for when the saints walked to Missouri. I guess she figured she is too old now and wont be walking even if that time comes. I think they have great ankle support. :)
