Playing Doctor

These girls love to play pretend!

Notice the cast that Lizzie fashioned herself.

Easter Morning

Look what the Easter bunny brought... Liz got her first set of scriptures.

Owen was pretty excited about the Easter eggs.

Gotta love the hair. Liz had a rough night last night. We had to wake her up two or three different times for breathing treatments, and we worried we might have to make a middle-of-the-night ER trip. Luckily, today was better.

Heidi wanted a set of scriptures too, so Mommy found her old set that she received on her eighth birthday.

Balloon

Yep, those are Christmas jammies. In April. :)

Soccer

The girls' soccer team and Coach Heather

Heidi had a least one happy moment.

Heidi spent most of the game either crying or doing this.

Stuck!

Owen crawled in between the couch and the hope chest. When he reached the wall, he was boxed in on three sides. Poor guy--he doesn't know how to go in reverse yet.

Asleep

This little guy fell asleep in his high chair.

Organized

Liz organized all the shoes in her closet the other day. I was impressed! She even sorted them by casual shoes, winter boots, and Sunday shoes.

Can you guess what we had for dinner tonight?

Our messy (but happy) eater

Princess Heidi

Heidi didn't want to act graceful. She just want to make funny faces. :)

Snow White and Aurora

Liz drew these pictures yesterday. They're kinda hard to see, but it's Snow White and Aurora. She drew them from memory. I was really impressed with the detail, especially on Snow White's dress. She's even holding an apple!

Cinderella and Ariel

Matching Pedicures

Liz picked out the colors :)

Our Little Mozart

Queen Elsa

Daddy's Birthday

When Scott went to blow out the candles, the girls beat him to the punch.

I think Owen had a good time. :)

Takin' a Bath

Imagination Station

Playing in the Wet Lab

Looks like they're having a lot of fun, right? Especially Liz.

Magnets

Building with Blocks

Baby Space

Isn't this kid cute?

Spring

The temps are in the 40s today, so we decided to go play in the backyard. The kids colored with sidewalk chalk, played in the snow, and hunted for leaves.

Liz informed me that she was going to make a leaf book with all the soggy leaves she had collected. I--being the awesome mom that I am--responded with a lukewarm "cool," but in my head I was thinking, "I am so going to throw those away when she's not looking." But check it out: she's tracing the leaves and coloring them. This kid is quite creative. She needs to hang out more with her creative aunts, like Aunt Kristi, to nurture some of this creativity. She definitely doesn't get it from me!

These kids are having way too much fun together

Maybe Jeff and Sherry will let us keep them? :)

Personal Pizzas

The kids got to put their own toppings on the pizza. It was pretty easy to tell the pizzas apart, because Lizzie had her special cheese, Heidi took a bite out of all of her pepperonis, Daniel ate most of the cheese before we put it in the oven, and Michael's was "normal." :)
