Past Month's Pics

Happy 5th Birthday Diana! She adores Hannah Montana so of course that's the kind of birthday she wanted to have. I made this guitar cake, we gave the girls at the party makeovers, while the boys made guitars. Then we played a musical chair kind of game with Hannah Montana's music and pin the microphone on Hannah Montana. All of the kids "pumped up the party"and were true "Rock Stars"!

Here is Hannah Montana herself-surrounded by all of her fans!

We took a family drive to the Uintas to see the fall leaves, however there is so much beetle rot that there wasn't very much color. We were pretty disappointed, but we did get some cut pictures of Diana. (Becca had fallen asleep )

One more birthday picture- Diana's friends thought it would be funny if they shoved her face in her cake. She was a good sport and proudly showed off her chocolate gotee.

We went to the zoo and one of the kids favorite things was the baby and mommy elephant.

Drew, Aunt Heather, and Aubrey on the Carosel.

This Orangutan loved Diana. He came right up to the window to see her. A large crowd gathered and after awhile I told Diana to move down so the other kids could see. Everytime she moved down to another window the Orangutan would follow her and stare at her. She thought it was fun and kept saying, "Hi Orangutan!"

Here we all are on the Zoo Train Ride!

II had a conference for work in Cody, WY so I brought the family and we turned it into a vacation.

Me and the girls at Yellowstone Falls.

This is Caitlyn's attempt at the Watermelon Eating contest!

Here are the girls at the Salt Lake Aquarium.

Diana and Becca running in the fountains at a park in Las Vegas. We went there to watch their cousin Aliza perform in "Suessical".

Becca and Caitlyn enjoyed the pony rides at Heritage Park.

We had a fund day at the water park Cowabunga with Aunt Heather, Uncle Dave and Drew.

What's summer without enjoying some icecream!

Becca likes to help in the kitchen! What's for breakfast?

For Caitlyn and Becca's birthday's we had a horse theme and we took the girls horse back riding.

March and April 2009

Diana and Rebecca did some water color painting, it looks like Becca decided to paint herself a mustache! These girls are so silly. One day I came into the kitchen and they were standing on chairs up to the counter with a large mixing bowl and spoons. They claimed to be making dinner and had a concoction of bananas, peanut butter, crackers, and water mixed in the bowl!

Another day we brought the girls with us to help Bryan with one of the buildings he cleans at night. This building has a lot of offices in it. We set up a movie for the girls and Bryan started cleaning the bathrooms while I vacuumed. Next thing we know, Becca is running down the hall with no pants or diaper on! Bryan and I started our search, and sure enough we found her diaper, pants and a pile of poop on the floor in one of the offices!

This is Caitlyn with her friend Reagan. They had a 4th grade performance about the history of Utah, with speakers, singing and dancing. Caitlyn had a speaking part and she did really well.

The girls were lucky enough to dye Easter Eggs twice with Grandma Martin. They are going to be pros!

The girls also loved the Easter Egg hunt at Grandma Martin's house with all of the cousins!

The girls got to dye Easter Eggs again at our house with Caitlyn. We got to use these eggs for an Easter Egg Bash at Grandma Martin's house that was really fun!

Here are the three sisters in their new Easter dresses. We had a wonderful Easter together as a family. Caitlyn said this was the best Easter and her favorite part was making Resurrection Cookies.
