Easter! 2012

Our cuties...3...2...1..


We have bunnies!
Two of them
Alexa and Karli both got to pick one and name them
We are loving them
Alexa named hers Rose and
Karli named hers Scarlett ("scar-scar" for short)

The weekend of general conference,
my mom put on a Easter egg hunt at her house!
It was WINDY outside...so some of it was done inside :)

The grand kids hugging Grandma to thank her
All the grand kids that were there
(Dallas' kids are in Texas...miss you guys)

Our neighborhood Easter egg hunt and breakfast...





the girls had a brilliant idea to
sell some of their candy (since they had so much),
lemonade,
and make-overs! of course :)
With their friend Merry.

Easter Morning!
The girls gathered candy around the house and made the traditional "candy artwork"
before divvying it up between all of us!
We took a couple of pictures of our girls after church

 and with their bunnies....

We went camping for a couple of days for Spring Break...it was a blast!
We were fortunate to have such great weather for it, and we invited a my mom and some of my siblings to come celebrate her 59th birthday on her birthday!
The last night, Alexa got sick, and in the middle of the night she threw up all over in the tent.
So we ended our camping trip a bit early and packed up and went home...it was a bummer.

Rilee Mathilde is ONE!



I can't believe our little baby is one!
We had a fun day celebrating RILEE!
Alexa and Karli wanted to do a turtle or sea turtle theme for her...
(from her birth I have seen similarities in her to a cute cartoon sea turtle)
so I let them make the cake and help me make a fun poster :)


We opened a couple of presents when Tyler got home,
went to dinner, and invited Garrett and the Crumps over to "party" with us :)






Rilee has been such a joy to have in our family. 
We have nicknamed her "smiley Rilee" because the her big, instant smile.
She loves to cuddle, and loves to play and tease.
She is curious and into everything.
Rilee likes things with buttons--remote controls, phones, cars, music toys, etc!
She loves to dance and move to music and clapping.
Rilee has taken a few steps, but is in no hurry to walk.
She LOVES to climb onto our little rocking chair and rock, rock, rock!
We love our little Rilee Roo!
