Happy Birthday, MOM!!!

I was going to make a list of things to describe you that matched your age...BUT, HELLO to make a list of 64 things would take all day!! Hee-hee!!
So, here are a few:
*The BEST FRIEND
*Will never let you cry ALONE
*An amazing Example
*Loves my kids unconditionally...an amazing Grandma
I could go on and on..Mom, I love you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for all you have done for me and all you still do for me!! You are my SUNSHINE!!

HAPPY SMURF DAY!!

How do I explain my picture....WELL, growing up I LOVED the Smurfs..I owned over 100 Smurfs..my family..well I should narrow it down to Fred, Mike and Michelle would tease me and try to steal my smurfs, hang my smurfs (MOM quit laughing)...so explain that story. I was in the shower, Mom was gone and my sweet brother and sister decided to make nooses for all my smurfs and hang them from my bedroom ceiling. So, as I return to my room I noticed my brothers and sister looking in my bedroom window..then I looked up and noticed my poor, innocent smurfs hanging from my ceiling, all of them. I burst in to tears and they all started laughing...BUT my Mom came home at the same time as they were standing outside of my window laughing, thinking they would get there punishment, my Mom looks in my window and bursts out laughing...after she re-gained control she made them set my smurfs free...so, where is this story going.....

I love smurfs and my family new it...when the mail came they would always tell me, "Ali, it's smurf day, if you go get the mail today there might be a smurf in the mail," I never did see a smurf in the mail, besides the ones my brothers would plant in the mail box. BUT, today I went to get my mail and guess what was there...A SMURF, after 33 years of waiting my SWEET sister sent me a smurf in the mail. AAAAHHHHH!! HAPPY SMURF DAY!! Thank you, Michelle!!

Our Cute Pioneer

Morgan is having Pioneer day at her school!! They get to dress like a Pioneer and they are having a group of people coming in from Oregon to teach them about the Pioneers and cook them lunch over a fire. She was so excited!! They were also given a history of a Pioneer that they get to pretend to be..her Pioneer has three kids and pregnant, and due in several months. Boomer gave her a hard time on that one :). I called my Mom and got some of the Pioneer names in our family. Come to find out Morgan's middle name "Caroline" was actually a family Pioneer name....she was excited just to use her middle name.....so, this is "Caroline the Pioneer"..

Ki-Ai

Rylee started Karate today. Her friend Drew has been taking it for awhile and she wanted to take it with him. It was really fun, she had a blast. Before she enters the room she has to bow to the Sensei. She has to answer with a "YES,SENSEI", "THANK YOU , SENSEI"..the coolest part is at the end of class the kids have an opportunity to pick a toy out of a box..BUT the sensei asks the MOM if there child has listened and picked up there toys throughout the week AND if they haven't they don't get a toy!! HA-HA-HA I have power again....HEE-HEE!!


Ki-Ai






side kicks....




Joslyn loved the balance beam...

EASTER!!

On the way to church I asked the girls what EASTER really meant....Morgan came up with a beautiful description of the SAVIOR..I am so grateful to have him in our lives and for my girls to know that he loves them and knows them individually!!


It was so fun Rylee got to go and sing with the Primary for the first time in sacrament meeting, she didn't really know the song but, you would have never known..her mouth was opened wide and she was singing her heart out. I am not sure what she sang, but she was in heaven with a big smile on her face!!



Easter Baskets waiting for the girls....


Cute Easter dresses....


A beautiful EASTER SUNSET!!!


Coloring Easter eggs....Rylee was really confused..we colored Easter eggs and made cupcakes to celebrate Joslyn birthday all on the same day...she thought it was a fun idea to color eggs on her day....I hope she doesn't think we are starting a new tradition of coloring eggs on birthdays.....


Joslyn watching them color Easter eggs.....

We tried out the wagon tonight on our walk...AWESOME!! Joslyn loved it (Rylee did too)...especially when I got to close to the bushes of flowers and she could grab them...she would start giggling!!

We went to enjoy the sun today at the beach, We went down at low tide and there were lots of little pools of water. PERFECT for splashing. Joslyn was in heaven, she splashed and splashed and splashed!! AND you are going to be so excited to see what else she did...it is at the bottom of the pictures :)
