Week of March 18th, 2013

Other than the funeral for Grandpa Brooks, not a whole lot went on this week.  Grandpa Petersen was in the hospital for an infection.  The infection went away, but being very weak, the doctors wanted him to go to a rehab/care facility until he becomes stronger.  We have been visiting him and he seems to be doing a little better.  In the meantime, Grandma has been staying with us, which the girls LOVE!  She has been sharing a room with Hailey, which Hailey thinks is really neat.  Other then that, it was just a regular week.  Hailey enjoyed school and had lots of fun at their track and field day, where she came home with a ribbon, so cute!  

The girls in their dresses, right before

going to Grandpa Brooks' funeral.

 Our peas were pretty much done growing.  I told the girls

we were going to pick every one, which of course excited them.

 We ended up with a HUGE mixing bowl full of peas.  It took us

girls a good two hours to get the peas out.

Three bags of peas ready to freeze.  Probably much cheaper to just go

buy three bags of peas, when you add up the time and water spent

taking care of them.  But....the experience for the girls is really fun!

Hailey likes to pick lemons from the tree,and found two 

HUGE ones.  You can't tell by the picture, but the one

Hailey is holding was literally the size of Addy's head,

they thought it was pretty funny!

Addy has been helping in the kitchen a lot lately, and that

makes her one HAPPY girl!! This day we were making

sweet & sour meatballs.  I love the picture on the 

bottom right, she is so happy with her work....haha.

What a cutie!!!

 We bought a Bunny House to decorate, the girls LOVED it.

I think they had more fun eating it then decorating it...haha.

 Jaren showing Addy how to ride the "big girl " bike.  She was
very excited to get on it, but then wanted off right away!  

The girls playing with a sticker book.  I love it when they play together so nice!
