Out and Around

We have been busy getting several projects done around the house. We had a family project one night of putting up an antenna on the roof of our house. Adam and I both ended up on top of the roof at various times and we cut cable and rearranged the lines. It's a good thing Adam knows what he's doing because I don't think I could have done that on my own. 

Here is the antenna once we were finished. 

Here is the handyman hard at work

This girl loves to blow bubbles. She spills more than she blows, but she is happy the entire time. 

Eden woke up from her nap one day and wanted to be my helper. The laundry basket was a cozy place for her to sit and watch me fold laundry. She was perfectly content there for about 10 minutes.

Montanna and Eden have loved playing on their bikes. Eden still has a hard time reaching the pedals on her bike so she rides in her car on our walks around the neighborhood while Montanna bikes.

More bubble blowing

Happy Montanna

Running again

Fun with the Cousins

For two weekends in a row we have had cousins visiting us that don't live around here. We have loved the extra company and Montanna and Eden have had so much fun spending time with all of their cousins! We have been talking about how we need to make it down to Phoenix because we have been missing Darby. We need to just keep checking those plane ticket prices. :)

Ada has been growing while we haven't been around and was so happy and fun. She can sit up all by herself and loved all the toys and attention. Here she is riding the zebra. She really did have a big smile on her face while she was on here, somehow I just didn't get it on camera.

Montanna was racing everyone who would race her. She seemed to never tire. Until she crashed at night.

We had so much fun and packed as much as we could into the days we had together. The kids played as much as they could, we exercised and ate lots of good food. We look forward to the next get-together.

Easter Weekend

This Easter we had lots of Easter Egg hunting. I think the girls got tired of hunting Easter eggs by Sunday afternoon. We spent time with lots of family and had so much fun!

This Easter Egg Hunt was kind of a joke. Where's the hunting here? The girls did have fun for the 30 seconds it was going on, but I think they had more fun when they actually had to look a little bit to find the eggs. Here they are... they were so excited and it was so hard to wait for the countdown. 

 Here is a closer picture of all the eggs

 We had a bunny visiting our backyard Easter weekend. We gave him some carrots and we haven't seen him since, but it was a fun Easter treat.

 Adam's Uncle Brett had a Easter Egg hunt for his little kids, Eden and Montanna and Adam's Cousin Stephen Evan's kids. We had a fun Saturday afternoon hunting eggs in their backyard. The girls had so much fun playing with all the kids, getting fun prizes, and hunting eggs. 

 Tommy and Montanna are finding eggs

 Eden was quite the hunter

Montanna showing off her eggs. She found a ton!

Lauren, Brian, Brynlee and Emily came over after church on Sunday and we had lots of good food to eat and had fun again playing outside with the girls.
