A fun weekend!


This past weekend was warm and sunshiny and full of fun family time. 


Abby and Jules love to play together. Juliet loves her swing and Abby loves it when she is in there because she is at the perfect height for Abby to talk to her and play with her.


On Friday night we had a little family bbq and used our new grill for the first time. As you can see Juliet was thrilled to be outside.


Abby loves to help me in any way she can. She is helping to carry the chips from the kitchen to the table. Her favorite chips are the cool ranch doritos. She can put them away faster than I can! It was a really fun little meal, we just had chips and hotdogs. Abby loved her hotdog. It was the first time that she had really had one and actually ate it. She loved being out side and playing with her bubbles she got for easter. She would start yelling "bubbles" when we would blow them.


Saturday and Sunday was Conference. It was amazing! We actually were able to pay attention to quite a bit of it. Abby thought we were continually praying. She would come in and fold her arms and bow her head. She was a little confused. Saturday night my friend Kaity came and hung out with me and the girls. We went to YoSweetness. The best fro yo place in the world. Not really because of the frozen yogurt, but more because of the name. Then we came back to the house and watched Les Mis and waited for the boys to get home. When they got back we were only part of the way through the movie, so we made Kaity's husband Derik watch the rest with us. He is not a musical kind of guy and it was pretty funny trying to convince him to like it as much we all did.

In between the sessions on Sunday we headed out to the park to get out of the house. Abby really liked it a lot. And Juliet was actually tolerant of being outside.



This sweet little girl's smile just melts my heart.


I love my little Juliet! She is just getting so big, so fast!





Abby is so lucky to have such a fun dad to play with!


It was such a nice weekend to have Kyle all to ourselves and to hear the voice of the prophets!


Easter!

Easter was so fun this year. I just love this holiday and what we are celebrating. I am so grateful for my Savior and I am so grateful to know that he lives!

Easter Sunday was an absolutely beautiful day. It really felt like spring, and that was so wonderful. 


Juliet at 3 months.


Matching Easter dresses! Juliet is still really floppy.


Abby thought it was pretty funny to have her little sister leaning on her.


She loves to snuggle her little sister.


Classic Abby face.


I love this picture of these two little girls. I hope they are always such good friends.


Another classic Abby face.


I have the hardest time trying to get pictures of Abby's face. She runs away every time I have the camera out.


So being the amazing parents that we are we pulled out the smarties and bribed her to let us to take pictures of her face.


Shoving the smarties in as fast as she can.


But I actually got some pictures so it worked.


The family Easter basket. Abby got bubbles and new crayons. She carried those crayons around all day. Kyle got cadburry cream eggs, and I got reeses eggs. The easter bunny brought some other small toys and Yahtzee for my and Kyle. Ever since we got yahtzee, Kyle has killed me just about ever single time! It drives me crazy. How can someone be so good at yahtzee?


 After church on Sunday we went over to our friends house for a delicious Easter dinner. Kaity out did herself with deviled eggs, ham, and cheesy potatoes. Super yummy! We had a little Easter egg hunt outside for Abby.


She loved carrying that basket around. It was super fun!


It was a beautiful Easter! I can't wait for next year!
