HANGMAN

today i was playing hangman with ryan on the computer. this was the first time he had played, so i did a few games first to show him how it works. he sat quietly and watched me do a few words. on about the 4th word i was down to my last letter before i lost the game. it had 9 spaces, and i had only guessed correctly the s,b,a,d. i was sitting there for trying to figure it out, and i told ryan that i was probably going to loose this game. just as i got done saying that he said, "it's surfboard mommy!" how on earth did he know that? sure enough, he was right. so, i guess my 4 year old is already a better speller than me. i love that little smarty pants!

EASTER

my brother, sister-in-law, and their 2 kids came down from las vegas for easter weekend. the kids had so much fun together. my sister-in-law and her family (from slc) were visiting also, but they were staying at my in-laws house. all together their were 12 kids. it was a busy weekend. in addition to the egg hunt we had for the 4 kids at my house, we got to go to my in-laws and have one there also. they hid over 200 eggs. the kids buckets were filled to the brim. we also got to go swimming, eat lots of yummy food, and play fun games. i was sad to see everyone go home. it's always fun spending time with family!

coloring eggs

i just thought that this picture was so cute of the girls. they are 4 months apart, and love each other so much! they have another cousin, carly, who is a couple days older than hannah, and the 3 of them get along so well! how fun to have cousins so close in age. ethan and ryan are 1 year apart, and their other cousin, hailey, is 4 months younger than ryan, and they are all good friends too. we wish they could have been with us too.

emily is totally obsessed with being a ballerina now! she has to wear her leotard everyday. i love my little ballerina!
