Our Easter

We had a wonderful Easter celebration of basket reveal, egg hunts, packages from grandparents & aunts, church (with a beautiful musical number by the primary), ham dinner with all the fixings (with cousin Justin) and bubble blowing in the front yard (where all the pictures are from).

We are grateful to know that our Savior lives and loves us.

We spent the evening eating at O.G. & sipping hot coco, while rootin' for the Bees on a chilly 45 degrees night!

Back to real life again...

That Wasn't My Point...

Me: "Kate, we're not leaving until you help around the house!"

Kate: "But mom, I have to do FIVE things; get dressed, make my bed, pick up my room, pick up the toys in the family room & read my book from school."

Me: "Well guess what...? I made you breakfast, cleaned up the kitchen, loaded the dishwasher, washed the dishes that didn't fit in the dishwasher, swept the floor, mopped the floor, changed Sagey's poopy diaper, got her dressed, fixed Sage and your hair, vacuumed the house & started the laundry!"

Kate: "Well that's because me and Sage can't fix our own hair!"

Me: "THAT WASN'T MY POINT!"

Family Night at the Rink

Steve's work department rented out the ice rink for family night. We may not have any Nancy Kerrigan's or Wayne Gretzky's, but it was a TON of fun! Especially after Kate and Chan felt comfortable letting go of the wall... ( "it is so slippery", this is really hard, why do I keep falling, I wish I could skate really fast!")

She had a half of dozen falls, but picked herself up... she was very determined to learn how to skate!

Chan wanted to play hockey with the big boys.

Sage was content in the stroller with a bag of Cheetos and momma's gloves

After one big fall and hitting the side of her head on the ice, Kate went and asked for her own helmet.

Kate was very excited that she could skate in the middle of the rink (" I'm doing it, I'm really, really doing it!")
