Mimi Visit and Glasses

My mom came up to Watch Grace for me this week. Grace had so much fun with her. She wanted her at night even when I was home. She did a cheer, I'd say-who do you wanna see and she would say "MiMi" So fun. I didn't get pictures of them though-I should have. I did get some cute pictures of Grace in these glasses my dad sent to her.

She loves them and wears them everywhere. Including the tub!On another note, Grace has started sleeping with her blanket over her head. I do that, but she has never seen me do that (I don't think anyway) so I wonder where she got it. Maybe it is a just a fluke. I can't imagine something like that being genetic. Art teases me all the time-and now he thinks it is funnier that she does it.

Happy Easter 2011



We went to Boise for Easter. Art and his Dad played in a golf tournament. They WON!! How exciting is that. It was at Hillcrest Country Club. They were in the B Flight and they had a score of 76. Their names were even in the paper. It was awesome. This is before they headed out for the day. Grace wanted in on the pictures too.Grace and I went for a little walk. We wanted to see the ducks, but they weren't out, but I got some great pictures. Grace got golf lessons from PaPa Boxall.







We went up to the club for the Easter Egg Hunt and Lunch.
Grace with her cousins.

Marissa and Jackson Coloring Eggs.



Grace got a little tired of coloring eggs, so instead she danced to the music.

Dad taking Grace for a trike ride.So fun!


All of the kids got balls from Papa and Grandma.


We did Easter Egg Hunts. The adults for lotter tickets. I lost.. I am really bad at this. Marissa won.


Grace's East Basket (the bunny was from Grandma and Papa) but the Easter Bunny did great with little babies and books. She loved them! (oh and M&M's her favorite)





Easter is such a fun holiday and I felt so lucky to spend it with my family. I feel very thankful for all of the blessings in my life and for Jesus and what he did for me and my family. Happy Easter!

Getting Ready for Easter

We are really excited about Easter this weekend. Grace started this week by making bunny ears in daycare. She really loves stickers. She wore the bunny mask for a couple of seconds, but it was cute. She really liked me to wear it better.

She is still really into putting on her own hat-And playing outside.


We colored eggs last night. Grace really liked it. (especially the blue color)

She also loved moving them from container to container and putting stickers on (one on top of the other-too funny)

I don't look very good, but it was a lot of fun to do together as a family. (Art was taking the pictures)

Salt Lake Marathon Weekend

Kyle ran the marathon over the weekend. He did a great job! It is always fun to come out and watch him run. Amber ran the 5k too.Amber, Kyle and Leah.Baby Leah after her bath. Isn't she too cute!We found Grace Court when we were looking for Kyle on the marthon route. Grace wouldn't participate. In fact she told me no and looked the other way after this. Little stinker.



But Leah was happy-and so fun to play with. I got to keep her all to myself for a little while, during her mom's run. She gives the best kisses and is just to precious. Quite funny as well.
Grace used Amber's lipsuff (pretty much all of it) She thought it was too fun.
Kyle was her best buddy for the weekend. I think it made Amber a little jealous.

She also gave some hugs to our neighbor Grant when we played outside for a while.
he started wearing her socks as gloves too. (I know she looks a little dirty right now, she had just had a long fun day. We had a great weekend.

Chasing Goats

We ran to Wayne really quickly where Grace spent some time chasing the goat. She is too cute!!

I also got to drive through Capital Reef and reintroduce myself to it's beauty. It really is a beautiful park!
