Nobody likes me...

...everybody hates me think I'll go eat worms. Chloe and Tyson learned the famous worm song in school a couple of weeks ago and she has been obsessed with them ever since. She thinks they are so cute and she just wants to take care of them. She finds them a good place in the dirt to live and makes sure that the mom's and the babies stay close together. Oh well, I have said it before and I will say it again, when it comes to Chloe....This To Will Pass!! Oh how I love that girl!

Easter '09

Easter this year was a lot of fun! The Monday before Easter we had family home evening that Grandma and Kyler and Jenna and the boys came for. We had homemade pizza and then decorated egg sugar cookies! The week before our lesson had been about the upcoming General Conference and the kids started a conference packet that would help them listen to the talks. For this family home evening we each told about our favorite talks. It actually worked out really well, the kids had fun and I think it helped them pay attention a little better. We were glad Kyler and Jenna and Grandma could join us. Thanks everyone for adding to our fun, yet spiritual??, night!

We then had a whole weekend of Easter celebrations. On Saturday we had a party at Banana and Papa's, complete with good food, an egg hunt, fun games and baskets for the kids and adults. Thanks, it was a great party!! On Sunday the kids woke up, not to early actually, and found their baskets that the Easter Bunny had hidden for them. We then had a Easter Egg Pancake Breakfast, which sounds kinda gross but it was just pancakes shaped like eggs and dyed pastel colors. Sunday afternoon we headed to Grandma's for another party, complete with good food and an egg hunt. The kids had so much fun looking for the golden egg, hidden by Kimmie and Michael, and Alec has assured me that next year he will be the one to find it! Thanks Grandma and Kim and Michael for making it so fun!!!

We hope everyone had a great Easter and not only enjoyed the holiday, but also took time to reflect on the meaning of the wonderful day!

A little bit of Chloe is all we need...

During Priesthood session of conference last night, my mom, my sister-in-law Becca and I took the kids to the mall. As we passed Claires jewelry I asked Chloe if she wanted to get her ears pierced. Immediately, as she has done for the last year or so, she said "NO!" But then just a split second later she said, "Oh wait, yeah I do." So we went in and although I was not totally convinced she would go through with it, we got her all set up and ready. Luckily there were 2 people working and they did both ears at the same time because there was about a 2 minute period she was really sorry she did it and I don't think she would have both ears pierced. But she did it, they look adorable and she has been beaming from ear to ear ever since.
