Barbecue Crashers!


Mike, Kate and I decided to tag along to a barbecue my parents had with some friends. We brought Kelsey and Shae with us and had a ton of fun!

Shae has mastered "The Lean".

By far the highlight of the evening was throwing rocks into the pond. This never got old.







Mrs. Stratton explains the rudiments of rock skipping to young Shae.



Shae and Kate got in some good pre-Easter-egg-hunt training by putting a plastic egg in this pot and then looking at it.

Dad's my favorite because...



He throws me high!



He swings me high!




And he lets me hold his foot.

Ode to Dirt

There she is! My plot of dirt. Freshly tilled and... plotted? This is my first garden ever, but thanks to my garden coach (Frances) I just might fill a cornucopia or two! Things have finally started growing out there (apart from the weeds). I never thought I would be so excited about peas.

Adventures in Potty Training

I bought a little potty so Kate could get used to sitting on it. Last week she made her first tinkle in it! After which she promptly stood up and let the rest out all over the floor. We aren't really potty training her yet, more just giving her opportunities to go if she wants to. Well, tonight we gathered in the bathroom as a family to give her one such opportunity. She sat on the potty while I made encouraging "psssssss" sounds. Finally understanding what we wanted her to do, she proudly said, "Psssssssss!" We love our funny girl!

Spring time!

The green thumb I never had.




"I really couldn't say why the plant is dying mom. It's obviously not an issue with watering, because as you can see, I water just fine."



After weeks of intensive training with Grandpa Tingey, we have fortuitously captured the fruits of their labors on camera!



1... 2...



3!! And we officially have lift off! (with one foot at least)



Tadaaaaa! (thanks Grandpa)

I love to see the temple


We had Family Home Evening at the temple on Monday. The flowers are just beautiful, and it wasn't too chilly! The temple always makes me so thankful for my wonderful family.




Please take this opportunity to rest your head on your left shoulder.

BUBBLES!
