Graduation Day!

McKenzie graduated from preschool today! We are so proud of her! They put on a cute little program where they sang songs and they gave the kids a medal and a diploma. She had a great year and learned so much. I am glad she is done with preschool but it was a rough day to think how fast she is growing up and that her next step is Kindergarten! Thank you Meahma & Papa, Uncle Clint and Grandma for coming and being a part of this day with us.

Our Little Graduate

Congratulation hugs from her little sister!

This is her class. McKenzie is right in the middle - the one without the hat - she didn't want to wear it because it was messing up her hair and wouldn't stay on very good! Such a girl!

Ahhh.... kids!

Since the weather warmed up, Kenzie had been catching and playing with potato - or rolly polly- bugs. I gave her a jar and she has throughly enjoyed making them a home with grass, dandelions, sticks and even a feather to climb on. Well the other day I'm doing laundry and bathing Brooklyn after dinner and she decides she doesn't want her new pet to be all alone and finds some family members. Well she takes the jar in her room and a little while later I call her for her bath. While she's in the bath Brooklyn goes in her room and comes back out holding one of her bugs, I ask how she got it and she leads me to this.......

She had turned the bottom level of her dollhouse into a bug house. They were about 5 crawling around in there still and we found a few more that had escaped. They were crawling all over in her room, about 10 all together. Thank goodness it was only potato bugs!

Warm weather is finally here for now at least...

So I realize I have not blogged in a while, I've just been having so much fun being able to take my kids outside! We have made, ummm, I can't even count how many trips to the park. My girls love Willow Park the best! There's so many things to play on and they love the animals. We've been able to have Savanah along with us a couple times and also been able to meet up with some of my friends and their kids.

The girls have enjoyed playing outside on the swing and we set up the trampoline too. They also had a blast today blowing, and of course chasing, bubbles at Grandma's house. Even Brooklyn finally got the art of bubble blowing down today! It was so funny to watch her, she was blowing so hard I thought she'd pass out!

Kenzie's a pro by now...

Brooklyn concentrating hard...

See her bubbles...

I had a great Mother's Day. I got a sweet little card from Kenzie, she made it at school and Chad stuck some spending cash in there for me so I could go and buy some stuff I wanted. I was able to go with my whole family to lunch and I got a gorgeous planter for my porch from my parents. Then we were able to have dinner with Chad's Mom and Dad. It was a perfect day!!!

I also wanted to post something fun my friend Jackie and I did over the weekend. We painted terra cotta pots and seperated a plant of mine that was outgrowing the pot it was in. I didn't take long at all and was pretty easy and inexpensive and I really like how they turned out. I gave one to both our mom's for Mother's day.

Time to go private...

Because of some comments from people I don't know and vistors I don't recognize I've decided to go private with our blog. I'm not comfortable with our info and pictures of my little girls out there for anyone to see anymore. I would love to still share what we are up to with all of you who currently read this so please send me your email (if I don't already have it) and I will send you an invite.

Happy Mother's Day!

Just wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms! I'm very lucky for the reasons I get to celebrate this day. Not only for the 2 sweet little princesses I've been blessed with but also because I have THE BEST mom. Also when I married I was lucky to have been given another wonderful mom in my life! I also want to say Happy Mother's Day to my Grandma Vella, We miss you and wish you could be here to celebrate with us! We love you! And one last wish for my Grandma Jean, hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!

Easter Weekend

Easter weekend was very busy, and went by way too fast but we had a lot of fun. Saturday I took the girls to see the Easter Bunny. Kenzie was absolutely terrified and started crying and refused to sit by him. Brooklyn was a little weirded out by him but didn't mind sitting by him for a picture. We went to an egg hunt at the park and a grocery store here does a fun little thing for kids so we went to that too. They got balloons and all sorts of goodies. That afternoon we had a baby shower for my nephew Brandon's baby-boy-to-be. Our Easter was great! The Easter Bunny brought the girls pretty new dresses that unfortunately they couldn't wear because it just wasn't warm enough. It still turned out to be a pretty nice day outside. Both our parents and my brothers came out and we had dinner together. We are so lucky to be so close to our families and to able to spend time with them.

To the farm we go!

Friday we went to Baby Animal Days. It is always so much fun. Brooklyn is an animal lover and this year she was old enough to appreciate the animals. It was so funny to watch her she was not scared of anything, and so curious about everything! She even touched a snake! She was climbing the fences to get a better look and even convinced her sister it was ok to get in there and pet the animals. Kenzie preferred to pet through the fence until Brooklyn got right in there with a baby calf and was "loving" it. Then Kenzie did too. Same thing happened with the pigs and goats. Isn't it usually the big sister convincing the little one to do things? Kenzie was so interested in learning about the Indians. They had a teepee set up and she went in, sat on a buffalo rug and watched the lady mash meat, nuts and berries and make pemmican, then she got to try some.
