First part of our Easter celebration!

The girls went to an Easter egg hunt in Aunt Marjory's neighborhood. Brooklyn wanted to stay clear of the Easter bunny. Not a fan of a giant bunny! The girls tried so hard to find the golden egg, but they didn't get it. Addison was so sad. We also dyed eggs with Marjory and Joseph. The girls love making lots of pink eggs!

Waiting for the egg hunt to start. Trying to get kids under the age of 3 to wait around is not very smart!

Finding her whole five eggs!

Dying Easter eggs

This is my kind of camping :)

We set the tent up in our living room and had a campout! The girls had a lot of fun staying up late, eating junk, and watching movies.

Easter Pageant

It was our first year seeing the Easter pageant at the Mesa temple.We had a picnic dinner, went to the visitor center, saw characters from the play, hung out on our blanket, and of course watched the play. We had the perfect spot too! It was an amazing pageant and made me miss the east coast even more. It reminded me of the Hill Cumorah pageant in New York that I went to growing up, but on a smaller scale. The girls asked lots of questions about the play and what was happening. It was a great time!

My wonderful girls!

These are some random pictures from this past couple of weeks. My girls are so wonderful and they love to play together. They can test my patience most of the time, but they are worth it!

(Blogger has some weird spacing issues that I can't fix so if there is weird spacing, that is why)

 Silly faces!

 Addison - 6

 Caemlyn - 4

 Brooklyn - 21 months

I find Brooklyn in random places around the house. Sometimes on top of the kitchen table. Sometimes on my sewing desk. Sometimes in the bathtub. This day I found her in the dryer and she was loving it. She was going around in circles and meowing like a cat.

Duathlon

Addison and Caemlyn did their first duathlon! We are so proud of them and they had so much fun. They ran, rode their bikes, and ran. All the kids received medals and my girls have been wearing them for days. Addison did crash on her bike, but she still did awesome. I did take some of these pictures from a friend's facebook album...I hope that is allowed!

Crossing the finish line

Ben is an awesome husband and raced with me. He even kept my slow pace :) It was a great event and we had a lot of fun!

Daddy girls

Ben was reading the girls bedtime stories and I had to take this picture. I love it! They love being with their Daddy.

Trip to the zoo

Ben's Dad to came down from Utah to visit us this week. The girls are having so much fun playing with him and following him around. We have done a lot of fun things while he has been here. One day we took the girls to the zoo. Addison's friend, Elsie, was able to go with us. Addison was so excited to have an Elsie day!

Ben's a hockey player

Ben started playing hockey on a team with other firefighters. He has been playing goalie and loves it. Ben's Dad went to a game and took pictures of him during a game.

Rodeo!

We decided to take the girls to the Rodeo this year since it is so big in Tucson. They even have school off for the rodeo. As part of rodeo season, we took the girls mutton busting (riding sheep). Addison and Caemlyn thought it was cool at first, then fell off, and decided it was not for them. I loved that they tried it!! Brooklyn loved watching and kept calling all the animals kitty cats, which is her favorite animal.

Addison did not like how they roped the baby cows. She refused to look when the cowboys came out to rope them.

Waiting for their turn

Addison's turn!

She lasted two whole seconds!!

Caemlyn's turn!

She also lasted two whole seconds!!

Caemlyn's 4th Birthday

Caemlyn is four!!! She is growing up so fast. She loves playing with her sisters. She has a talent for drawing and making up stories. She is my cuddlebug and will snuggle with me all the time. I love it!! She is such a joy and we love having her in our family :) We celebrated her birthday with family.

She asked for a heart shaped pizza so I attempted to make one for her

Aunt Marjory and Uncle Joseph gave Caemlyn her favorite gift...yellow mac and cheese with the straight noodles (the only thing she will eat)
