Childrens Museum

We went to the Children's Museum last Tuesday. This was in a little house. The girls had a blast with everything being just their size.
In the bubble room Randall and I had just as much fun with the girls. They had all sorts of bubble machines. This pic is of a square that when you pull the rope you are in a bubble. Only bummer was when Maddy got soap in her eye. Not so fun.
This was back on the first floor with the little people stuff. Lana is wearing a bowl on her head.
By far this was thee cutest spot. A mini grocery store. The girls were so serious when they came here. As you can see Emma is paying for her groceries. Once she did she proceeded to try and open them....hahahahaha.
A cool fishing game. Little boat with a pole and you try and hook the fish. Emma was quite proud.

Emma and Randall's Date night

This is not the first date night she has had but we have decided to make them once a week for consistency. She was over excited to go out with Daddy tonight. Just goes to show no matter what age girls/women love dates! I even let her wear the make-up Great Aunt Marcia gave her. (Its little girl make-up so it is really just sparkles everywhere, hard to see but thrilling for a little girl.) I wish we could have captured her enthusiasm of the night.

She got to go out tonight a little bit later than she normally gets to stay up, which made her anticipation even greater. Daddy had basketball practice with the young men at 6, and he came home a bit after 7. So Emma got to wait for an hour and a half to go on her date with Daddy, while the other two had to go to sleep. She even kissed everyone goodnight and whispered in their ears: "I have to go on a date!" Needless to say, she had lots of fun, and so did Daddy.

As for the skating, this was Emma's first time, and Daddy hadn't gone Ice skating for 8 years, so it was like the first time for him. They started off going really slow around the edge of the rink, just to get used to being on the ice. Then, before they could make a full circle, Emma insisted that they go out to the "MIDDLE!" She skated between Daddy's legs the whole time, except for the time Daddy held on to her hand and went backwards ... she didn't like that move. It was a great night, and one that Emma will remember for a long time.

Lana's Interpretation

So we watched "The Nativity Story" today. It is a great movie, and in it you see Mary and Elizabeth give birth. Not graphically mind you, but you still get that it is hard and that a baby comes out. As the movie goes on Lana beings to do her interpretation. I love children!

Three Little Cooks

What...don't you like to like the flour up when your done?

Zoo

This was during summer time with Heather's family. We were all measuring to see if our arms were as long as the monkeys. For the record, Daddy's (Randall) are very close. What does this mean you may ask? Well, if law doesn't work out then the circus will.

Here is Baylin loving Maddy. They have so much in common.

John vs. the Stairs

This morning,John's last day in Colorado, John went down the stairs like he normally does after finishing breakfast. This time was no different from all the other times he tried to slide down all the stairs at once, with one exception: he tried to jump down the last six stairs while in a full slide. Instead of propelling himself forward, he did an "I just slipped on a banana peel" impression, and landed head-first on our railing. Behold the aftermath.



Pole: $22
Ice pack: $5
Memories: Priceless

We miss you John, and we love you. Thanks for going out with a bang!

Happy Birthday Maddy

Maddy's birthday was on April 9th, and she turned "THREE"!!! (that's "3" for those of you who were wondering...) We had a little get-together and invited the cuzins over. Maddy had a grand old time!


She totally dug her ice cream cake...we actually just finished the last of it today. So that cake lasted 11 days! That cake was huge!











And you can't forget the cute princess, our nephew Huntressa!
