Easter 2008

We had such a great Easter. Matt had to work so he slept most of the day, but we woke hime up to see what the easter bunny had brought the kiddies then he went back to sleep. Ali was so disapointed that the Easter bunny did not bring her candy this year. We did prizes instead of candy. She got a Princess Scooter and some little crafty things. Emily got some bongo drums that she can crawl after and dance to the music.




Emily was thoroughly happy watching Ali run around like a mad woman as long as she was holding an Easter egg.


Ali got a bubble blower gun that blows out a gazillion bubbles all at once. It is really neat, I think that I am going to have to take it over for myself.


While we were playing outside, I noticed a fuzzy thing crawling on the driveway. I had no idea what it was because I had never seen one before. Matt died laughing at me and told me it was a caterpillar. It was beautiful. It had really thick fur all over, it looked like it would be really soft, but it was kind of poky. Ali had fun with it and was amazed that it could crawl up the front porch steps.

We saw the Bunny!

At the mall the other day the kids got to sit on the Easter Bunnies lap. Ali thought it was really exciting, but Emily just kind of looked at him wondering what kind of creature he was.

Bowling

We went bowling the other day, I think it could be one of Ali's all time favorit activites. She did so good, she even beat me on the first frame, then on the second frame I came around and redeemed myself and beat everyone. Ali loves watching the ball slowly roll down the lane, and she dances to the music in the meantime until she hears some pins fall down.




Emily slept through all the excitement.

Beautiful Park Weather!

The weather has been so nice here it is perfect for playing at the park. We went to the park in Kaysville the other day with the huge slide down the hill. Ali loves it and kept trying to get me to let her take Em down the slide with her.

Band Aid Sisters

The other night the girls were playing before their baths and they bumped heads. This in turn meant that they both needed a band aid on their foreheads, so Ali went right ahead and stuck one on Em. Any time something gets bumped, colored with marker, or a hang nail, it means that a band aid is needed. Otherwise we have a huge melt down.

Disney On Ice

I was trying to have the whole Disney on Ice be a suprise for Ali, but the morning of she would not cooperate in getting ready. In order to get her dressed I had to tell her where we were going, after that she was wound up and excited. The whole way there she was laughing and talking about Mickey, Minnie and Cinderella.


Emily really enjoyed the show, she slept almost the whole time on my mom's lap.

 

New Pictures

Emily is cruising all over the place now, sometimes she will stop and put her butt in the air. Ali thinks it is the funniest thing ever.



The other night we were playing Elefun, it then turned into playing pirates with the nets for our pirate hats.


Ali is really enjoying the warm weather. She wants to practically live outside. She is getting really good on her bike and can ride it all the way around the block by herself. She is so proud of herself.

Discovery Gateway!

Last week we got to go to the Discovery childrens museum at the Gateway with Becca, Amy and all of their kids. It was so fun to see the new Sesame Street exhibit about the body. They had a market and restaurant with healthy foods, quizes on computers that asked about different parts of the body, a display that showed how you chew, digest and poop, (I think that was the most fascinating part for Ali.) She also loved the heart that they had, and when she would pull the handle and push it in it would make the sound of a beating heart.

Cruisin' in the Corvette!

Ali is in heaven now that she gets to take Emily for rides in her Corvette. Emily loves it also, she sits in the floor of it and just laughs and grins the whole way around the block. Luckily we have had no crashes yet.




Ali is enjoying wearing hats these days. This is one of her favorites.

Ali loves to make Emily laugh

Ali has so much fun with Emily trying to get her to laugh. She will say bizarre things to her and then Emily will just crack up. They love playing on Nans bed before it is time to go to sleep. Notice - Ali is rockin' the bandaids again.

Ali was really into this cowboy hat the other day. She would stick it on everyones heads. She thought it was the funniest when she would put in on Emily's head. The girls took a nap together the other day. The other day I was taking a picture of the girls and it is really sad because Ali gets so frustrated with Emily if she is not looking at me, so she will take her head and try and force her to look at the camera. Notice all of the band aids on Ali's fingers. She is having a total band adi fetish lately and if she bumps anything she needs one. It is starting to get embarrasing because when we go places people ask if she has a lot of boo-boo's, then we all get a laugh out of it when we tell them she just loves to wear band aids.

My Silly Girls

Ali has been making the cheesiest smiles when you ask her to smile.
Here is a sample-


Emily is loving being able to sit up and play with toys.


Emily is also loving the fact that she gets to eat solid foods now. She loves just about any flavor. I think that one of her favorites is banana mixed berry and apples with chicken.

The Aquarium

When Kelly and Danielle were here we all went to the aquarium in Sandy. Ali thought that it was pretty cool, her favorite thing there was the pool where she could pet sting rays.
