{Life is Sweet}

We had such a fun eventful easter weekend :) friends, easter eggs, candy, bike riding, yard sale, and all the stuff in between :) my camera was always close at hand and grandma should be very proud !!


















it started off when my friend anna came down to play with us in st. George!!! this is maddie's oldest friend ... maddie and addie used to lay on a blanket together not knowing yet that they would be besties :) and now mia and izze each have a little playmate too!! here they are causing a ruckus in old navy :) makes for a cute picture though!!!

















yes... once spring/summer hits this is what i do alot of!!!! i become a scholar ..... the only way i get some good reading in is if i have some good warm sun to go with it!! and as you can see i am teaching my daughter about the good things in life :)
















isn't she a diva?!


















My friend and i decided to put on a little easter egg hunt this year with neighbors :)
















special friends.....





















Maddie showing me one of her many pictrues drawn of the easter bunny.....





















racing to get the loot!!!





















mia was so cute!!! at first she got one egg and ran to show me.. i said you can get more :) so she went back and then was happy with the piece of candy she grabbed.... again i said you can keep going and thats when she started to get the hang of things.... here she is getting every piece she can before somebody else :)






















i love this little girl!!! sigh.....





















the two most ADORABLE people in my life!!! .






















enjoying her hard work......
















can't get enough of this face!!!!






















recently we took maddie's pedals and training wheels off her bike so she could use it as a glider and learn to balance... after a couple of weeks we tried her on a friends bike that still had it's pedals and she hopped right on and peddled away with NO help at all!!





















she has been a two wheeler girl ever since!!! proud parent!!


















Easter Morning!!! the girls found their hidden baskets and then headed to mom and dads bed to open the goods!! holidays are so much more fun when you are making them special for somebody else!!!






































Easter dresses....
































































These girls LOVE their daddy as you can see :)






















the cherry on top of our fun weekend was a sleepover in the front room!! we got out the air matress and the girls loved playing trampoline on it :) then every single toy they owned came to the sleepover including some candy nerds that were in the bed in the morning...


































shawn used the leaf blower to blow up the matress and then this is what we did with it ....


















































now watching nim's island and eating popcorn and LOTS and LOTS of snuggling!!!!

{LIFE IS SWEET}

My husband has been in charge of a bunch of foreclosures lately and that includes getting rid of all the leftover items in a house... that is where we have been getting all this CRAP to sell at our awesome yard sales :) so this past saturday we were able to unload our garage yet again to make another $500 dolla- holla!!! and all of it (with the exception of a few clothing items) came out of his foreclosures!!! wahoo!!
















here is the lot of goods....

















a wee bit closer....






















maddie made $22 selling cookies!! and she was only selling for about an hour :) my cookie selling little russian is making more money per hour than most college students :)




and then this happened and was just the cherry on top of a relaxing (i say this with as much sarcasim as possible) day..............





















oh the horror............





















ahhhhh!!! it's even worse from the side..........





















don't cry laura.. don't freak out... it's only hair!!! i am so in LOVE with maddie's cute little bob and i have so much fun doing her hair every day!! they are my little dolls and i was sooooo sad when i saw the damage!!! all i could think was we need to get this fixed as soon as possible!!!

















Daddy on the other hand thought it as CUTE.... haha! right! she totally looked like one of the little orphans on the movie Annie!!! :)

so off the fantastic sams and we did what we could.....





















i guess it could have been worse... but lets be honest.. it could have gone a lot better too if my four year old would have kept her sticky mitts off those scissors !!!

so i lost my camera about a week ago and i could not find it anywhere!!! anyway yesterday i woke up and i had a dream that i found my camera in my beach bag. i thought what the heck i will check it out.... yep! there it was! i thought it was so weird :) anyway so now i plan to take lots more pictures...




went to 25 main for dinner one night and the girls LOVED their cupcakes !!YUM!

Sleepy Babies :) we don't really sleep that good when they are in our bed but how can you say no when you wake up to this ?!!! it won't last forever ...right?
