GIRLS DAY OUT 04/25/2009

A day for the girls. As we were getting ready Mia had a skirt on and some shoes, but she wanted jeans like mom. She said would you please dress like me mom? I said I was already dressed, so she threw a fit. So needless to say I changed to a skirt, tights, and black boots just like her. She is my fashion girl.

Us girls met Nana and Grandma at the mall. The girls of course road the cars with their money they had packed and then off to Bath and Body Works. We had fun at that store. Then we headed to Shoshone Falls. It was so pretty and wet. The parking lot was wet and we were misted really well.

Shanna, Janessa, Grandma, and Mia. Mia was so worried about her Dora shoe that she had lost down in the falls when she was 2. She wanted to see where it went. At 2 Mia could care less about her shoe, but now at 4 where did get go and lets get it!

Nana, Janessa, Grandma, and Mia...

Then off to lunch at Canyon Crest Restaurant. We had the spinning table. It actually rotates as you are eating so everyone gets a different view!! It was a beautiful restaurant. Janessa took these pictures....

A FUN DAY WITH FRIENDS AND BABYSITTING KITTENS 04/18/2009!

It was a beautiful Saturday outside. We had friends over and we were babysitting kittens that day also. So we took all 5 kids and went to take care of the kittens. They had a blast. It was really hard to get them all to leave.

Mari and Janessa.....

EASTER MORNING 04/12/2009

The Easter bunny brought these cute baskets for the girls.......

Not quite awake but.....

Mia so cute......

Janessa so adorable.....

Then the Easter bunny hid eggs outside.........

Dad said everyone gets to find an even amount, as there will be fighting later:). The girls finished with 47 eggs but the Easter bunny always leaves an even number of eggs. I told them when it got warmer we would find the missing egg!
