Easter

We had a great Easter.  First, we celebrated a week early with my mom because she was going out of town.  Lucy quickly got the hang of finding eggs and loved all the candy inside.

We spent Easter weekend in Vernal with Daniel’s family and Lucy got to do 3 more Easter egg hunts.  The first was at a park on Saturday morning.  She had a fun time picking up all the candy, even though it was a little cold.

The kids had fun dyeing Easter eggs

Lucy had a fun time playing on the little play 4-wheeler

Saturday night we went to Shelly’s in-laws for another hunt and dinner.  Lucy had a blast searching for eggs with Grandma in the field.  After, she got to play on the swings with Tes and Dayson.

 

Sunday morning the kids woke up to Easter baskets and then searched the house for more eggs.  It was a lot of fun to be there with the kids and playing with them.  It was a great weekend and Lucy got spoiled with so much candy.

 

This morning, I heard Lucy talking in bed.  I went in to check on her and she had a couple of books in bed with her.  I got Whitney up and we played in Lucy’s bed for awhile.  I love morning like that and I LOVE my girls.  They are so much fun and I can’t imagine that I ever lived without them.

Here are some other random pics of the girls.

Poor Whitney has hardly made it on this blog, but we sure love her.  Her smiles are the cutest little things and she has such bright eyes.  Her hair is starting to grow in and definitely has some red in it.  She is growing fast and at her last appt she weighed 13 lbs and was 24 inches long.  She now rolls both ways although she still does not like being on her tummy.  Although she will sometimes take a binky, she has found her thumb and likes to chew on it.  She squeals and coohs and makes our lives so happy.  I can’t believe ho much she has changed in the last five months.  The time has gone too fast.

Grandma Lu bought Lucy a new swim suit and Lucy is very excited to use it. We tried it on the other day and Lucy had fun running around in it. Notice how she swings her left arm when she runs, I think it is so cute.

Why did I do it?

When my nephew, James, was born, I went out to visit.  My brother and sister-in-law thought that he had a mullet and decided to try to trim his hair.  You can see what happened here.  I thought it was so sad that they had cut off his cute hair. 

Well, Whitney has lost a lot of her hair and has a big bald spot on the back of her head.  Last Sunday, Daniel said, “We really need to cut her hair” I agreed and reluctantly set about trying to trim her hair and make it look better than it did….and now I am so sad.  It doesn’t look terrible, but I miss her cute brown hair on top.  I feel like I always need a bow in her hair so she doesn’t look like a boy.  Lucy also got a hair cut (not by me) and it looks much better.

I love these jammies!

I love these little jammies!  I think Whitney looks so cute and cuddly in them.  Whitney is so cute and fun and has the cutest little smiles.  You can’t help but be happy when she looks in your eyes and smiles!

Flowers by Lucy

On Friday, I worked from home and was able to hang out with my girls.  I have worked the past few Fridays in the office, and I missed spending the day with my girls.  I got up early got in some hours while the girls were still asleep and was able to do a craft with Lucy in the afternoon.  We made flowers from an egg carton.
