Ballet

For Audrey's last "ballet" class we got to be inside the studio to take pics and watch. Clara can't wait to dance too. In the second and third pics, you can see Chloe. And also in the second pic you can see Audrey's hurt foot. She had stepped on a screw in a board in the garage the day before. Her foot was so soar that it hurt ME to watch her dance. But she tried to be brave and would not stop. It was really wearing on her but she was so proud to show us all that she had learned!!

Salina, Utah

Part of our April road trip was to Jerm's g-ma and g-pa's house. It was fun to make some memories there. One extra special one was Audrey down in the basement using toys to "decorate" for Christmas all over! They store their Christmas tree down there so it was very beautiiiiiful!

The last pic posted shows all three girls in Em's big tub. We tried to get lots of fun pics but most of them are a little too nakey! When we got to go to Great Grama and Grampa Chappells in Utah, she had a cake all ready for us to decorate. The girls got to pick which color of frosting to use. Audrey even showed them how she does puzzles so well.

The Group Pictures

Em, I can't remember we sent any of these for you but I thought I'd post all of the "tries" from my camera. And for entertainments sake. I think with kids we all have lots of "trying" shots. What did they ever do before digital??

In the Process

While in the process of trying to get a group pic of the cousins, we had some interesting poses. Clara is feeding Treyson a dolls bottle. Poor him!

Auntie Emma's Helper

Apparently I am so not good at organizing pictures on blogger. But the first pic is us enjoying the yummy cinnamon rolls that Audrey helped make. She also helped with Treyson's bath. And the little girls loved to watch Dora on Granny's dvd player. This particular Dora movie seemed to be Clara's comfort as we traveled and stayed at 5 or 6 different places.

Salt Lake

While on our trip in April we got to go stay at Kallie and Ryan's. They watched our kids while we went to a sealing. Audrey and Avery had a tea party and did lots of other fun things. We took lots of pics of the flowers to show Audrey, they were fab!!! After the sealing the kids got to come with us to the reception. It was yummy.

It's a Girl!!

Since we still don't have a baby yet (2 more weeks!!)I have been going thru some of the files and found some fun pics that I never blogged. So the next few are kinda old and next week if no baby then I might be able to sit around and put a few more oldies but goodies on.

Right before our trip to Idaho this past spring, we found out that we are having a girl and were so excited that we celebrated with a mostly pink dinner. Granny came and Jerm was at a meeting so it was an extra fun all girl party! We had ham with pink Alfredo, pink Easter deviled eggs, pink fruit salad, pink butter and juice and "baby-bum" rolls.(made by Audrey Mae, they were the coolest part!) Audrey had a bloody nose, thus the kleenex in nose shot!

Easter

I tried to get a cute picture of these girls on Easter morning and even resorted to bribbing them with tulips to hold. Maybe next year....

The next pic is Easter eve preparing for the bunny to come and the rest are the next morning, complete with pink easter bunny and jelly bean socks!

Egg hunt

For Audrey's birthday she wanted to host an Easter egg hunt so we did. It was too fun and apparently so are animal cookies.

Audrey's B-day

Audrey helped prepare eveything for both her birthday parties. We had cake at the first one and did a pinata at the easter egg hunt party.

Helper Girls

I might be the luckiest mom to get beeeautiful flowers every single day. These are an example of the early spring variety but we seem to be lucky enough to have them almost year round.

Clara is always interested in helping me in the salon and entertaining clients. This day she was helping prepare for Grama Inman's perm.

And Audrey LOVES to help with laundry. This time while gettting to the botttom of the barrel, she fell in head first and now lets me do most of the washer work. While laundering her playhouse cover, she "fixed" the frame.
