My best attempt...

at an Easter photo of the kids before Church. They just didn't want to cooperate. Oh well. They still look cute to me.

See the white stuff?

It was hailing outside today. Totally cool! Unfortunately, the girls were more interested in their new Barbie movie. But hey, it's not everyday that you see hail in Southern California.

Strawberry dipping

Wednesday morning was slow, so I got some strawberries out of the fridge and decided they would be MUCH better with chocolate on them....and guess what, they were! Here are some pictures. 

Leah's new thing is "posing" for the camera.

Ooh. Yummy!

The finished product. Dipped with love.

Tasting the fruit of her labor. 

We even managed to save a few for Daddy.

Spring break so far

Blogger is being dumb and mixing up the order of my pictures, but I'm too tired to try and fix it.

Today we went to Santa Barbara to go to the zoo. We met up with some friends and had such a good time. The girls LOVED rolling down this hill. They must have done it a dozen times at least.

We rode the train at the end of the day right before leaving the zoo. I was trying to get a picture of all of us together, but that was hard to do. The funny thing is that as soon as I pulled out the camera, Brandon gave us this hilarious face. I think he's gonna be a ham. 

To my surprise the girls really liked the reptile house. Probably because all the bugs and snakes were in cages and couldn't get them. 
Disgusting. I HATE roaches. Absolutely HATE them. Do they do anything good for us? Anything? Probably not.

It was an exciting day at the Santa Barbara zoo. We got to see the penguins being fed and the lions getting "friendly". We walked away before our children saw too much. Not quite ready for that "talk" yet. 

This picture is from Monday. We met up with some different friends at Travel town in Glendale. Another fun day. The girls walked around from train to train, we ate cheap hot dogs, and rode the little train around the park. The weather was great and it was a fun outing for the first day of spring break.

Don't know yet what's in store for Wednesday. But whatever it is, it needs to be closer to home. I need a little down time. 

Such a boy

Seriously, not one minute after my little boy figures out how to climb in the chair and sit, he figures out he can also stand in it. Sheesh! I see stitches in the near future for this little guy.

Daisy Scouts

Ashlyn is a Daisy Scout and she gets to be in it with 3 of her favorite friends from our old ward (CC2nd), which is GREAT because she has NO girls in her new Primary class. They meet every other week and get to do fun activities, crafts, and service projects and she gets to learn all about being a "Daisy Scout". And next year, she'll be selling girl scout cookies. Feel free to place your orders with me early. He he....

Here are some pictures from her first meeting. Aren't they SO cute? The girl on the left was the "daisy for the day", that's why she's wearing the daisy headband. 

In honor of the first day of Spring (Friday)

And because I missed the boat on being a fun mom on St. Patrick's Day. And we plan on watching "Spring for Strawberry Shortcake" movie. It's about the year Spring almost didn't come to Strawberry Land. It's very "special" (insert sarcasm).

Always neat and tidy.

Always messy.

Somewhere inbetween. (I know, babies aren't allowed to have cake until their first Birthday. It's like an unwritten rule. But I thought it would be okay since it wasn't chocolate.)

Why is it that there are times I can't think of anything to post to save my life. And then there are times like today, where I have posted three times in the last 24 hours?
