~Workin' in the yard~

::April sometime!!!!::
We planted flowers and Ali wanted to help! And try things while she was at it.

Kimberly is always a good helper in the yard!

She put on daddy's ear protectors and was trying to listen to the music! Silly girl!

~SuperCross~

:: 4/27/13 ::

This year was the warmest it has been for the supercross. We had a pretty good group go and even Kimberly joined us this year. Grandpa Jared, Aunt Natalie, Maga, Papa, Aunt Neni and the three of us went. Ali stayed with Grandma Patti.

 Kimberly was pretty funny for the last race. Daddy got her pretty into it! She was yelling "go, go, go........"

~12 Months Old~

 Wow where did that year go! I can't believe it has been a year already. Ali has been so much fun to have around and I think Kimberly loves having a baby sister to watch out for. I'm a little late at posting this but I know I have to document how she is growing and doing.

Ali at 1 year old:

01. Still a butt scooter (no crawling for this girl)

02. She is still on formula but I don't think it will be to much longer.

03. She is a eater!!! She will eat all day long if I let her. (still surprised she is so small)

04. She loves her stuffed animal ducks.

05. Is still a binkie baby

06. Her favorite toy is the wipes (we have to hid these from her or they are all over)

13. We left her overnight for our 5th anniversary get away. When we got back neither her nor Kimberly even acted like we left.

14. She has no interest in learning how to talk or do sign language. She just grunts and wines! (Kind of annoying but I know Kimberly was a fast learner so I just need to be patient with Ali)

16. She only has two teeth. (on bottom)

17. She loves bananas

::Ali::

01.She is a butt scooter, and is all over the house now. (not to bad at getting into things but I really have to watch her)

~Easter~

 We had a super busy Easter weekend!!!!!!! 

Our Easter started when Grandma Patti called and said her house had got egged. She asked if Kimberly wanted to join Nick in finding all the eggs.

 Then Saturday morning we headed to an egg hunt at Labrum park. Danielle, Justin, Dominick, Kaydence, Kamden, and Aunt Kylee joined us. The park always throws a great hunt and the kids left with a ton of goodies.

 We then went to breakfast at Virg's. Kimberly got a scone and piece of ham as big as her head and pretty much ate the whole thing herself. We then went out and the girls got to open their presents from Maga, Papa, Kylee, and Kenzi.

 We then headed out to Rush Valley to Janica's moms house for another egg hunt. She was so kind and invited us out to her house. It was so nice and quiet out at her house. We got to meet her horses, the girls weren't sure about them. The girls left with a ton of treats and toys.

 After we got home we did some yard work and then colored some eggs. Ali wanted the cups so bad! I love doing these projects with the girls. It was a long, eventful day!

 The girls woke up around 830 and we watched a little tv. The night before Kimberly put her Easter basket on the table and in the morning it was gone. She looked all over the house and couldn't find it. We called Aunt Keesha and maga and papa, she told them about the bunny taking her basket. We kind of joked with her that the bunny took the basket to another little girl that was good. She then says "but I'm a good girl!" it kind of broke my heart. But then Daddy came in from feeding the dogs and told her he saw eggs outside. So we headed out and she found all of the eggs with a little help from mommy and Ali. She was so excited especially when she found her basket in the house of her swing set.

 The girls got new pj's. Don't you love their faces!!

 I thought it was pretty cool both the girls on their first Easter with a new book. The first picture is Kimberly at about 7 months (Her first Easter) and Ali at 11 months. These girls do love their books. Man Kimberly really did steal all the hair!

 Ali found and opened a sucker! That little stinker.

 After breakfast we went over to Great Grandma's to have another egg hunt. The girls had so much fun and Ali loved the cupcakes grandma great made!

After a rest at home we went to Grandma's for dinner. It was a VERY busy Easter but it was a great Easter. Thank you everyone that spoiled our girls. They were in heaven all weekend!!
