Funny Story

One morning last week, Kate brought the box of toys from her room into our room and then started to throw the toys onto our bed. I turned and told her she needed to put the toys back in the box and take them to her room. Now, keep in mind that usually Kate is very good at listening and obeying. When I finished my request, she made her eyes grow about three times their normal size AND started the tears as she said with all seriousness, "But I'm the princess." I was so shocked at how cute she was that I couldn't even laugh! We finally compromised that while she was in deed a princess, all princesses must listen to the Queen, which of course was me! Every day my little girls make me laugh so hard, I thought I would share this story with you so you could enjoy a few laughs too!

Easter PIctures 2009

What a fun Easter season this has been! We hunted for eggs at Grandma's (She has pictures), ate lots of candy, and got cute Easter baskets from Papa.
And last, and certainly least to the girls. we took a few pictures. Hooray for new Easter dresses! I bought the girls' dresses probably two months ago and have been waiting anxiously for the chance to have the girls wear them.
(Also, the ground was really wet, so I was trying to keep my balance as I sunk heel deep into my Grandma's yard, should have worn flats... too bad I don't own any!)

Cute baskets, cute dresses, cute girls!

To the Temple with Jonathan

Last month we had the opportunity to go with Jonny to the temple. It was wonderful, and we are so excited to send him on his mission because the sooner he leaves, the sooner he will come home!

After the Temple, we went to the Zoo.

Kate and Lily recognized this as their true home, and were trying to return.

My own little monkeys.

Watching the animals with Papa

A picture by the fountain with Papa. They were trying to stand as far away as possible while still touching the water. Silly girls.

Spring is here! We have been able to get outside this past week,

which has been the best!

Here is Daddy first pushing Lily and then swinging with her at a park.

Lily spun around that pole for almost five minutes with no sign of dizziness!
We love swings.

Bath time fun for the ladies.
