Today was such a beautiful day that we decided to go to the zoo with some friends. We were able to see the baby lions for the first time. They were so cute! Everyone had a great time just being outside in the nice warm weather, infact we didn't go see very many animals cause when we stopped for the lunch the kids had so much fun just running around that we stayed there for quite a while. But when the kids are happy the moms are happy.
I have been meaning to post this story for awhile... When we went home in Feb. Emma watched the Wizard of Oz with Grandma Mitchell and loved it. She talked about it all the time and decided she wanted to be the wicked witch for Halloween-which I was ok with cause she had wanted to be Goldie locks and the three bears :). Well, three of the girls from our YW were in the the high school play of the Wizard of Oz. So me and my friend Kim took our girls to go see it. Emma was mesmerized by it. And ever since then she has made me tell the story or sing the songs about a million times a day. She also decided she wanted to be Dorthy cause she got to met Dorthy afterwards. And the wicked witch kinda scared her in the play. I went to a consignment sale two weeks ago and found Ruby Red Slippers. They were two sizes to big but Emma was in heaven. So that day we HAD to go find Toto, a basket, and a leash. Good thing Walmart had them all. Needless to say I have to beg and plead Emma to take her Ruby Red Slippers off. And Toto-or toad or toady as Emma calls him for short-goes every where with us-church, school, store, camping, everywhere! And now we act out the Wizard of Oz all the time! Now she is so excited for Halloween cause she is going to be Dorthy, I will be the wicked witch, Spencer is the scarecrow, Aiden is the Lion, and she called Grandma Mitchell and told her she had to be the tin man. What a funny girl!
We all dyed Easter Eggs on Saturday. Emma thought it was fun dipping the eggs in the dye and then watching them turn colors. She wasn't happy when all the eggs ran out.We made one for Aiden he wasn't to sure what to think of it. I am just glad that he couldn't get a hold of it or it would have gone straight to his mouth like everything else!
Brooklyn, Emma, Caijsa, Annicka, and Abbygail just hanging.
Me and Aiden just enjoying the view-he loved watching the girls.
This is were we spent most of the day-throwing rocks and sticks.
This week was Spring break so Hyrum, Chalai, and girls all come up. Emma had a blast playing with everyone. Their favorite thing to do-besides pull out every toy Emma owns- was sidewalk chalk. They colored every thing they could reach: the ground, the rocks, the trees, the house, and even each other!
Happy St. Patty's Day! Hope everyone remembered to wear green! I was way excited for today(we are celebrating it a day later cause no one saw us yesterday in their cute outfits!) cause I love any excuse to dress my family in matching outfits. :)
Emma loved her leaf shirt as she called it. My favorite part was the cute bow that I made her. To bad you can't see it in the pics!She was excited to show off her new clothes at preschool. She is a total girl!
Aiden did
n't really know what was going on but I thought he looked cute anyway!
He was so ready for a nap that I couldn't get him to smile. Maybe next time! He is starting to say "da da" and it makes us laugh when he looks right at Spencer and says it!
For those of you who don't know we are living in OK while Spencer is working on his residency to become a Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon. He loves what he is doing even though it keeps him very busy.
