Mother's Day

For Mother's Day in primary, Melania was asked some questions about me.

1. How tall is your mom? 50 feet

2. How much does she weigh? Pretty big

3. How old is your mom? I don't know.... old.

4. What is your moms favorite color? Pink

5. What is her favorite thing to do? Play with me.

6. Favorite food? apples and bananas

7. What's your favorite thing to do with your mom? eating

8. what do you love most about your mom? I don't know.

She also came home from primary with a beautiful picture that she drew for me and her hand print traced on a piece of paper. Nothing can beat those kinds of gifts!

Bon Fire

Uncle Blake(Kenny's brother) was in town with some of his friends for spring brake and Kenny's parents thought it would be fun to go to Dockweiler and have a bon fire.

Happy Easter

Melania and Kambria are very lucky (mostly Melania), not only do they get to celebrate an Easter Sunday full of chocolate filled eggs, but they get to celebrate the entire weekend. We had the pleasure of having uncle Charlie and cousin Jack in town all weekend to join in the fun.
On Friday, we were invited to attend an Easter egg hunt at Eddie Park by some of the moms from church. It was really fun to spend some time hanging out with friends and eating LOTS of candy.
Saturday, Grandma Olga made a delicious lunch (really it was Bill) and then it was off to egg hunt #2. My mom and I laid the eggs out and when we came back out with the kids, the sprinklers in her building went off. So what to do...... search for eggs while getting wet!
Easter Sunday, we were off to Grandma Barbara's for the grand finale! Kenny's Family, Cousin Jack and Uncle Charlie and our good friends the Proctor's joined in on the fun. There were eggs everywhere!

She was pretty much taking a nap through all of the fun!

While making dinner Kenny...

So while making dinner I left Kenny in charge of bathing the girls and getting them ready for bed. He comes into the kitchen and says " Don't be mad, it's just hair." So I run into the bathroom and there she was... he had shaved the sides of her hair and made a MOHAWK! My cute little baby had been butchered and who knows how long it's going to take for her hair to grow out. Kenny says it's our friends fault for suggesting to me that we should cut her hair like that and she would look cute and mine for telling him about it. I seriously cant leave him alone with her!

TATTOO

This is what happens when I decide to go back to sleep and leave Kambria with Kenny. He thought it was hilarious! I did not.

Removing it was not fun.

DANCE, DANCE, DANCE!!!!

After many requests, I finally signed up Melania for dance class and she just LOVED it. She was so happy every Friday to get her dance outfit on, her cute bag with hers ballet and tap shoes and be off to dance class. She would make pictures all week long for her teacher Miss Claire and would not show anyone her dance cause it a "secret".

Dance Recital

She kept asking everyone she invited to bring her flowers. She couldn't even carry them to the car!

The Reptile Condo

Kenny has a deep LOVE for reptiles and he has had a lizard or some sort of reptile for as long as anyone that knows him can remember. When I married him I knew that all of his reptiles were part of the package and as long as I wasn't involved in anything that had to do with them I am fine with it (of course that hasn't always been the case).

I finally had enough of the reptiles when we reached a total number of 5! The worst part of it was that they were all living in our bedroom next to our newborn baby... I really thought that one morning I would wake up and find the snake trying to swallow Kambria"s arm or leg. So Kenny came up with the brilliant idea of building The Reptile Condo.

After many hours of Kenny and his dad's hard work, here is the finishing product.
