Easter/Hanging out with Grandma

I decided to take the girls and get their pictures taken a couple of weeks ago in their Easter dresses. The pics turned out pretty good, so I wanted to share. If you are a close relative reading right now this may be a mother's/father's day spoiler!

The girls together :)

Rachel

Alison

Hailey

Coloring eggs for Easter. NOT one of my favorite traditions. I must admit that the smell of vinegar combined with hard boiled eggs makes me nauseous! The fact that Hailey was trying to eat the yellow dye didn't help any. Oh well! The kids had a great time.

The creations. My favorite part about this picture is Hailey crying in the corner.

Easter morning

New Webkinz from the Easter Bunny

Two days after Easter my mom flew into town to speak at the Evansville, Indiana Women's Conference (my mother-in-law's stake). She did a great job and we had a fun time hanging out and shopping in Nashville. We are already looking forward to seeing her again--next time in ORLANDO!!

Happy Birthday Rachel!!!

On March 26th my little Rachel turned 7. That weekend we had a birthday party for her. It was 1 and 1/2 hours of screaming and squealing. Rachel was thrilled to have both her friends from church and her friends from school together.

Here is the crew. One of the only perks of having the bishop as a husband is that it is really easy to borrow a table and chairs from the church.

They had pizza

And decorated cupcakes

Alison cried off and on all weekend saying "I like presents too!"

I think everyone had a good time!

I have to say that birthday parties are not one my favorite things. I am glad that we have a little break until Alison's 5th in August!
