I got behind on blogging over spring break. Matt and Chris went to Africa (more to come) and I didn't want to put that on the blog when we girls were alone, so I just shut it down. And then it's so hard to get back in the groove. So hard.
We've been doing a lot of bike riding lately. The parkway is a nice straight stretch, so I let the girls go as fast as they can, but they're kind of timid, so they don't go too far. Gotta work on those training wheels soon!
We read several Easter stories and watched the little Living Scriptures Easter movie. So when Lexi picked laney up from nursery (on Easter Sunday) Celestia said how smart she was and how much she knew about Easter. They made these tombs and had a Jesus who had come out of the tomb. Celestia said he didn't fit in there very well, so laney tore her tomb so he could go in and out. (Jesus got lost as soon as we got home from church and we had a sad laney)
We went to crystal's birthday party on "Easter Monday." My kind of birthday party, go out the back door and you are there.
Fun!
And lookie here!

I read the comments and had to chuckle. Half the people said Frankie is such a cute name and the other half couldn't believe she would name her daughter something so horrid. I'm sure it's the same for my little blondie.
Speaking of.
Preschool day cuteness.
Frankie and Addie have been doing chores. Takin' out the trash.
Our Addie-kins got Citizen of the Month at school and we are so proud of her! Afterwards we took her to Rita's for some yumminess.
She was hot stuff. She got a cotton candy Italian ice with gummy bears and mini chocolate chips. Yummy, right?
Windy days! We've had so many windy days!
Saturday was a fun and busy day. I drove the ballet bus and then took the two crazy 5-year-olds to the commissary where they were the loudest people in the store. We dropped Addie and Abby off at Sarah's for a play date and hurried home to make snackie lunch for the prom girls getting ready at our house. I made (this is important because I love food) egg rolls, buffalo wings, popcorn chicken, pizza rolls, potstickers, mozzarella sticks, veggie platter, grapes, 3 kinds of cookies, and 3 kinds of soda. The prom girls ate nothing. Except Meghan, who grabbed a plate on her way out. My kind of girl!
I asked her how many kids she wanted to have and she said a thousand. What does she want to be when she grows up? Everything. I love this crazy 5-year-old. And daddy needs a haircut!
We went to bubba's baseball game for an hour and a half and then rushed home for prom pictures. Franks and I went to cvs and then picked Addie up. Then it was off to girls night for Sarah's birthday. We had so much fun. (: I have a wonderful circle of women that I call friends. We talked and laughed till 2. Awesome sauce.
On Sunday we had our big special meeting at church. It's a lot. They changed the boundaries and now we'll have a little ward that will grow. The little ward that could! I know these things are done prayerfully and for a reason, but it's stinky to miss seeing friends every week. And next Sunday 97% of the ward will get new callings. Change is good. (:
After church we had our LG friends over for a make-up Easter dinner. Since Matt and Chris were gone, Lexi went to Meg's for Lisa's birthday and the girls and I ate corn dogs. So yesterday we did it up and everyone brought yummy food and it was a nice time. Anytime you cram 32 people in a house it's a good time, right?!
Today I met up with Matt for a senior special date. #earlybird
We wanted to go for a hike, but when you are parents you adjust and readjust. Chris needed to make up a test, which meant he'd need a ride home from school. So instead of going straight up to greenwell, we went to the high school and waited for 15 minutes, all for him to get in the car, remember there was a LX game he wanted to go to, and for us to drop him right back off. Love kids.
By that time it had started slowly sprinkling, and was supposed to rain all evening, so we stayed local and checked out a cemetery I've wanted to check out. (Weird?) the first part of it is a pet cemetery, so we enjoyed reading about all the fluffies and busters and wolfgangs. Some had pictures. People love their pets!
Then as we got into the people part we saw our dear friend Sandra's grave. That was a sweet surprise, she was a special, soft spoken lady that I got to work with in primary before she lost her battle to cancer.
It was full on raining by the time we left, and Lexi was bugging to go to the LX game too, so we headed up. You take what you can get, right?
We're so happy spring has decided to stay. We are busy and happy and good. (:
