Week of April 14th

It was nice to get back into the swing of things this week, after a weekend of Jaren being pretty sick.  He had what I think was a nasty sinus infection, but who knows.  He had a fever for a day, and miserable body aches.  Luckily, nobody else got it!  Hailey is getting more and more excited for school to get out, mostly so she can swim!  Addy is doing great at swimming, but for some reason, she is starting to cry at her lessons again!  It's sad and frustrating at the same time.  We will probably just do one more month of lessons, and then take her out.  Easter was on Sunday, and it was a great day. The girls woke up to their Easter baskets, and had SO much fun going through them.  I had a migraine the night before, so we almost didn't make it to church that day.  Luckily about an hour after I woke up, it went away for the most part.  Church went surprisingly well!  Addy was tired, and both girls had Easter candy, so I was ready for cranky, wired girls.  They were pretty good during sacrament, and their classes went great.  I had bought some small dry erase boards, which they both colored on for most of sacrament.  I will definitely be bringing those in the church bag next week!  Sunbeams is going great!  I am in there with another girl from the ward, and I love it.  We have all girls in our class, and they are pretty easy!  After church we went to Jim & Gwen's house for Easter dinner and an egg hunt.  It was a great day!

Funny things said:

Our neighbor has a small circular flower bed right in the middle of his yard, with fake flowers in the center of it.  We were riding our bikes by and Hailey said "is that a grave?"  Haha..it was SO funny!

I picked Hailey up from school and she said "I have a new boooooyfriendddd".  She said it was the new boy, Logan, and that they had A LOT in common.  When I asked her what they had in common, she said they both like to talk like monsters and go on the slide.  Then she told me she was going to go home and write a book about falling in love.  Oh Boy!!  The next day after school she looked at me all sweet and said "we had cupcakes at school and Logan and I had the same color".  So cute!

There was a piece of chalk in the driveway, and I ran it over.  It basically turned to powder.  Addy looked at it and said "Ummm, we need to put that back together"...haha!  When I told her we couldn't, she said "daddy will fix it".

We picked up Hailey's friend for dance, and the friend was telling us she calls her grandpa her papa.  The girls also call my dad Papa.  Hailey got all excited and told her friend "Hey, my Nana married a guy named Papa!"...I could not stop laughing!!!

 Cute little cousins!  We got to have Hannah over while

Gwen went to a doctor appointment.  The girls ran around

and played and danced for almost three hours!!  They

play really good together!!!

 Every now and then we freeze toys in a cup

of water, and watch them melt in the tub.  The

girls LOVE doing this!!

 Addy was excited to see the feet of her

My Little Pony sticking out!

 Hailey eating the ice....Mmmmmm tasty!

 I found the cutest Despicable Me jammies

at Target!  I set them on the couch to surprise Hailey

after her bath.  When she got out, I told her to put her

jammies on.  She looked at them and said "awwwww those

are sooooo cute!".  When I asked her whose they were

she said "I don't know....MINE?!"  She loved them!

 Cute little Buttercup may be getting a new home soon!  Yes, 

we are those horrible people who get a pet and don't keep

it forever!  But, she has started digging big wholes, smack dab

in the middle of the yard, all the way down to the sprinkler pipes!

So, we'll see.  Hailey is all for finding her a new home if we get

a puppy, but I'm not quite ready for that yet!  

Enjoying cinnamon rolls we made

for the ward breakfast and egg hunt!
