What you talkin' 'bout Willis?

I was so unhappy with our Penny's photo shoot experience(AGAIN) that on the way out of the mall I tried my own.....this is one of my FAVS!! More to follow!

Exploring with Daddy

When we visited Jerm at work, we went on an adventure and explored the old building. They are in the middle of demo and were gonna make it into condos. I would love such cool architecture in my house! Since the building is the old city hall, there is an old jail cell door and an old vault(not pictured), the girls thought they were so cool. Self portrait is sometimes the only way to document Natalie girl was there too!!

Dad's Office

We went to our daddy's new office a while ago to help him decide how to organize and decorate it.(He needs us BAD!!Huh?) Audrey watched a sea plane take off and the building is so cool. It's the old Tacoma City Hall.

Puppy!

We finally made it to see Uncle JR's puppy. It was fun for the girls.

Audrey is 5! (what... how did that happen??)

I AM getting old. I can't believe our Audrey Mae is 5 years old. She had a great Easter Egg hunt birthday party and wanted to post this invitation(about 10 days ago.....what a mother!) for Sydney and Treyson and Laney and Chloe.(please note the photo bandit) She really wished they could have all come but we tried to have fun anyway and post some fun pics for you to check out.

We had the party at Granny's(Grampa was out of town) There were lots of kids. Some from primary, some from preschool and some cousins. She got lots of cool gifts, we had a great hunt of @ 500ish eggs. It will even be fun to find the leftovers all summer!
Audrey chose a sunflower birthday cake. Grampa and Grama Chappell stuffed some eggs with whistles which became the hit of the party. And the kids tossed a ball around on our parachute for a while. It was a BEAUTIFUL day too, we are so lucky!

*Funny sidenote: In the pic with the star, Audrey said, "Everyone, come look! Laura found a bug!"

*In case you recognize some of the kids, we had: Ian and Joanna,(and 3 of their cousins) Keira and Elaina, the Walks: Haley, Sully, Avery, Taylor, and Eden; Annabelle and Hunter & Sam and Laura.

Audrey, Natalie and the photo bandit.....

Audrey got some beautiful flowers from Granny for her birthday so we were taking pic and Clara(aka "the photo bandit") wanted to pose with her. This is funny cause she is the hardest to take pictures of normally. After a long, hard day of partying and egg hunting, we came home and let Audrey chose the rest of the activities for the day. We went on two walk/bike rides, played outside, had hot dogs and strawberries for dinner and blew out the candles one more time on the leftover cake from the party! Too fun!! At dinner we gave Natlaie girl her first biter biscuit and it was a hit. Just this afternoon I found that she has now cut one of her top teeth too. So that makes 3 already! And there is Buggy... (after the butch bang trim!)

Easter/Conference weekend

We had a fabulous Easter weekend watching conference and doing Easter stuff. We colored eggs in between sessions on Sat. and took pictures but none turned out. I also took a picture of the girls watching Pres. Monson because they were so excited that they could recognize him and all, but the pic must be on the other camera.
So, we have Natlaie's hair combed like a baby chick, the girls with their baskets Easter morning and Clara the egg hunter.(before I butched her bangs!)

Easter con't...

After we hunted eggs Easter morning we got to go to Granny and Grampa's for minnie mouse pancakes(of coarse!!) We listened to conference, ate and playyyyyyyed! Layne and Malachi were babysitting 5 children so it was fuuuuun! Audrey also got to start celebrating her 5th birthday by opening a gift from Granny and Grampa.

Spring

Until a week or two ago, we were having "no coat" weather and were loving it. However last night got down into the thirties and we're lucky to make it out of the forties in the afternoons. So I was reminising thru the sunny pictures. We got a barbie jeep from a neighbor that Audrey loves and Clara will take some getting used to. The girls ALL get to sit at our bar now. The missionaries were lucky enough to come for dinner on our first hot dog roast of the season. They thought it was the coolest! Funny.... It's a good thing they transfer every so often or they might not think it was cool the 8th or 9th time as that is my go to meal in the summer. Audrey makes some killer s'mores!!

Happy Easter!

Aren't they BEAUTIFUL!?

What does 9 months give you?

..........Your crazy. No we aren't have another baby. I found a job that I love and fits me perfectly. Pictures are for Amanda so she can get some stuff on the walls but i must say spoiled great view.
