Easter

I have grown to LOVE the tradition of taking these girls shopping for Easter dresses. It's fun to see their different styles and personalities. They do a great job picking the dresses out themselves.



Aliza was actually given two lovely dresses for her birthday that she was fine to use as Easter dresses too. With a birthday so close to Easter it worked out well.




Beautiful girls!

Spring Break Scipio Fun

These stray cats in Scipio love all the attention from our girls. Shortly after this visit to Scipio they took the cats to another home where we can't visit them. The girls are so sad, but I'm kind of glad. I was always worried we would get sick of something from loving on them. Yuck!


On one of our trips out on the golf cart we were talking about cowboys. Abbie and Avery mentioned that they do not find them attractive at all, and Aliza replied "I want a cowboy". We all bust out laughing. I love that girl!


Another adventure of the golf cart this trip we were riding along and discussing how awful it would be to see a snake on the side of the road. Grandma had bee telling us about snakes in the area. Right then I said "what is that" and as we looked ahead there was a snake in the middle of the road right in front of us. I hurried and swerved so the tires wouldn't hit it and we all screamed at the top of our lungs. Unfortunately to get back to grandma and grandpas house we had to drive by it again. It took as awhile to gain enough courage to drive by it again, but it was just laying in the middle of the road. We assumed it was dead but we drove by a few hours later and it was gone. Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl. I hate snakes.


My mom arranged for a teen boy in town to take my girls on horse back rides. They were so excited and Aliza was not shy at all. She was right by this cowboys side wanting to be next to the horse. Abbie and Avery were a little more reserved. Because of her eagerness she got the first ride.


Abbie and Avery were disappointed that they were led by the boy around the field instead of by themselves, but I was relieved that he had it all under control. I could just see them being bucked off a horse without knowing properly how to ride one.





After riding we were able to feed their new calf. 



It was very slobbery.


Dying Easter eggs at grandmas has become a tradition. They look forward to it every year.





They were up bright and early ready for our very own Easter egg hunt. After the girls found all of the eggs they made their own Easter egg hunts around the yard over and over again. They loved hiding those plastic eggs and finding them.



We went to a campground one afternoon to roast hot dogs. It was fun to be outside and have a picnic.



The girls were exploring together for a very long time. I overheard Abbie teaching Aliza about evaporation which was cute. They loved being outside!


A little yoga over a stream. Sounds good to me.


Crazy Friends

Everyone needs one of those fun friends that you can be wild and crazy with. That would be Abbie's friend Rachel for Abbie. These two girls have the best time together, and can get pretty crazy.







Abbie is continuing to love her elective class in school of Broadcast. They were able to take a field trip to a real news station. She had the best time and really enjoyed that they stopped at Panera for lunch not the way home (her favorite).
