Playing Outside

Another Wildly Successful Soccer Game

Windy!

After playing for about 50 seconds, Lizzie started complaining about a finger injury (she pinched a finger in the seatbelt yesterday) and sat out the rest of the game.

And here's Heidi--literally lying down in the middle of the field in the middle of a play. This happened more than once. Actually, it happened more often than not. (Yeah, our girls are really great at this soccer thing.)

Finally, the girls' coach decided to hold Heidi's hand and walk her up and down the field so she could figure things out.

Baby Carnivore

This little guy is working on Tooth #7 right now, so he got to try his first cheeseburger the other day. I think he liked it. :)

Easter Outfits

Isn't that the cutest tie ever? Thanks, Uncle Travis and Aunt Nori!

More Creative Play

The other day Lizzie flipped Owen's bouncer on its side and fashioned a swing with one of Daddy's old ties and a pillow.

Soccer Game #2

"I'm soooo coooold!"
Temps were in the 50s, with some wind, so the girls took a lot of convincing to get out there and play.

Here they are trying to keep warm on Owen's blanket during the first half of the game.

But at least this guy was happy.

Heidi finally went out there.

And Lizzie gave it a try during the second half of the game. Here she is chasing the ball out of bounds.

 

You probably can't tell from the video, but Lizzie was actually headed for the wrong goal. Ha ha.

Easter Festivities

Easter Dinner al fresco

They decided that pieces of wood make good cell phones.

Decorating Eggs (I should have taken an after picture)

Heidi actually asked to hold Baby Nathan!

Just missing Heidi... It was the end of the day, so we had a couple of cranky kids. This is the best we could do.

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 :)
