Easter weekend!!!

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}

I don't think any two girls could get any luckier than Maddie and Mia... a wonderful Easter and then to top it off a sleepover with Mommy and Daddy AND to top it all off, "the leaf blower" as an added entertainment... seriously, you can't get much luckier than Maddie and Mia! Sooo darned cute! Loved the pictures, Laura, you did well! xoxo Mom

What fun pictures! I love the Old Navy one :) And the leaf blower cracks me up, the sleepover sounds so fun! We had so much fun hanging out with you last week, we are so sad to be back in winter weather :( Addie was so sad Monday morning, she stood at the front window and cried saying "I miss Maddie". We'll have to visit again soon I guess :)
