BARBIES!

the indy children's museum has a barbie stuff right now.  the girls were dying to go!

they were in heaven.

pretty!

mallory on the run way.  she didn't really know what to do. 

i showed her my best walk that i learned from tyra.

too bad i don't have a video of it, eh?

all olivia wanted to do was barbies hair. 

i did force her to go on the run way.

she decided she would dance. 

mal making a sick beat.  we're getting her a turn table for christmas now.

kale wanted in on the hair styling.

notice the 2 combs in his hands.

he likes to have something in both hands at all times!

we also stopped by playscapes.

look at those eyelashes.

we have passes to the children's musuem and the zoo

+

we can get 2 other people/kids in free too!

call if you want to go on a playdate sometime! 

happy easter, part 2

what a great day we had this year. 

 the kiddos were super excited to get their easter baskets and find some eggs. 

here is the loot.  brett and i did get a basket with all the leftovers!  yum!

the kiddos getting ready to go outside for the egg hunt.

olivia, finding some eggs.

mallory finding eggs. 

sweet kale wondering what is going on.

brett and i, being mean parents, left kale in the sunroom to watch the egg hunt. 

next year buddy!

it was a little chilly.  sister hug.

these are the lambs i made them.  the tutorial is here.  they turned out SO cute.

the girls love them and even sleep with them.  CUTE.

i made a little one for kale the next day.

we watched conference and had a nice relaxing morning.  the madsens came over for lunch and then watched the second session with us. 

megan and i hid the eggs for the kids again and then the kids hid the eggs for megan and i. 

it was really fun.  i think we will start doing the kids hide, parents find egg hunt every year!

it was so nice to have conference on easter and be able to here from our prophet and church leadership on this special day.  conference was so uplifting.  i can't wait for the ensign to come out. 

happy easter!

hope you are all having a great day!

easter reminds us of the Savior and how grateful we are for His sacrifice.

we are so thankful for the gospel in our lives

and that families can be forever!

gymnastics

the girls had gymastics this winter. 

they couldn't wait to go everyweek. 

i think they would have gone everyday if i would have let them.

here is olivia in the 4 and 5 year old class.

she did great.  she is a little apprehensive, but did a awesome.

the teacher, ms. joan, was AMAZING!  she knew just how to handle those little kiddos.ms. joan was super nice and actually taught the girls alot about proper form.  really great teacher! 

mallory is a little power house.  even ms. joan was impressed. 

we will definitely be doing gymnastics again and hope to have ms. joan as their teacher.

springtime photos

so i have a little confession...

i am trying to learn how to use my camera.

so, if you don't want to look at a WHOLE bunch of pictures of my kiddos

go no further. 

look at those eyes!

i don't know how i did this with my camera, shutter speed?

i love how liv is focused and everything else is blurry.

liv "helping" kale walk.

yes, i am a good mother.  i let him crawl around on the dirty ground.

he loves it.  he crys when i bring him inside.

what a BOY!

i love these 3 kiddos (most of the time)!

he loves this car.  i think he would stay in it all day.

very upset. i put him in the stroller to go for a walk.

the outside pants.

liv riding her bike.  we went on a walk and liv rode her bike.

she was so proud of herself.  too cute.

peek-a-boo

liv REALLY wants to climb trees.

she is actually kind of obessed.

here she is trying, just a bit to short.

mallory riding around with her pink boots.

DIRTY pants.

the girls love to play with kale through the window.  i got livy playing with him the other day.

 

we have some silly girls.
