Clark County Fair 2015

Brent went with Ella's class and acquired Scarlet somewhere along the way!!

I came up a few hours later and we were there ALL day!!

It was long, but so fun!!

I love to see my girls excited!!

 

 Ella and her little friend Alexa.

She's a good little girl, and she helps Ella feel brave.

Sometimes she can be reluctant!!

 

 Scarlet wanted a turn.

 

 I told them to turn to the side so I could see their pretty paint!!

They look like they're getting mug shots.

 

 Carousel!!

 

 We met up with friends and cousins.

A group is always more fun!!

 

 Uncle Jed had a wrist band and Brent didn't, so Uncle Jed was a good sport and did slides and fun houses!!

He may be a little tall for fun houses!!

Elise looks like Scarlet is trying to strangle her.

 

Roller coaster
 



 Pig races

 NDOW exhibit
It was starting to get late and Scarlet was fading!!

 She was so excited to get a fish.
Until it came out of the tank!!
Both girls were able to catch one!!

 Scarlet thought this was Elmo and wanted to see him.
Until he tried to touch her.
She quickly retreated!!
But Ella at least gave him a high five!!

 She gave up.
I had to pack her out!!

 They loved these FREAKING expensive bubbles!!

 Scarlet loved the whales.

Ella wanted to ride the Ferris wheel, but kept going back and forth.

When all her cousins and friends decided to take a ride, she mustered her courage and went.

Daddy, Scarlet (who had no fear of this, but a fish was deadly) and Ella piled in and they LOVED it!!

 

 

Ballet

Ella's ballet performance was at the fair on Friday.

She was a beautiful, graceful little dancer.

I was so proud of her.

I can't believe she is getting so big!!

 

 Two Ellas!!

 

 Ella and Jara before the show.

 

They wanted to pose!!

 



Egg Hunt #3

The final egg hunt!!

Alderete Family fun!!

 

We had such a great day!!



Happy Easter!! (Egg dye & Hunt #2)

Spring Break was glorious!!

I am so sad to see it end.

I can't wait until summer!!....

Summer the vacation.

Not summer the season.

 

 The girls were introduced to, and LOVED the pull out bed.

We had to put big giant puppy between them because Scarlet like to snuggle in her sleep.

And by snuggle, I mean use others as her pillows!!

Puppy was a barrier to keep Ella free of her octopus arms!!

 

 Dyeing our own eggs

 

 Our patio is very colorful now!!

 

 Daddy got to be home!!!

He had to take some days off clear back in February to make it possible!!

 

 Easter morning!!

 

 Even Molly came out!!

 

 

 Easter bunny brought SWORDS!!!

I now must remain in a state of constant awareness.

 

 

 It was a glorious morning.

The weather was beautiful and crisp.

We got to watch conference to remind us why we are celebrating the day in the first place.

I am so grateful for my Savior.

I'm so deeply grateful in my heart that He suffered for me,

died for me,

and then rose on the 3rd day.

I have so much to improve on, but I am grateful I am under His protection while I learn.

I am so grateful for my eternal family and that I have had the opportunity to find, and bring more of them to the gospel.

I am so grateful for my patient husband, and my beautiful little girls.

I am so happy to spend my life with them.

 

Egg Coloring and Hunt #1

The first of several egg coloring and egg hunts!!

 

 First with Grandma Bowler and Marshal cousins.

 

 So pretty!!

 

 Hunting with Marshal and Tingey cousins!!

Lots of little blond girls!!

 

 First discovery!!

 

 Very excited for trail mix!!

 

 And Pez dispensers!!

 

 Family fun!!

 

 Blowing bubbles!!

Here is one of many reasons I am so grateful for Scarlet's program,

she's interested in something.

She finds joy in something.

Something as simple as bubbles!!

 

 With one of her favorite uncles!!

He's the fun one!!

 

 Ella with her favorite find; Jerky!!

 

 They are always so happy and fun!!

My little beauties make holidays so much fun!!

I am so blessed to have these crazy little chickens!!

 



Spring Break

I am a pretty structured person, but I still love Spring Break!!

I love getting up when we feel like it,

not worrying about lunches and doing hair, and getting kids off to school.

Then, getting them home and getting their homework done and getting everyone bathed and to bed on time!!

It's nice to just do what we want once in a while with out deadlines!!

 

We played outside, used our new art supplies and new playdough, and played with friends!!

 

We also got a visit from our favorite Uncle!!  

 Uncle Pat and Renn.

 

 Aunt Jean with Renn.

She is such a classy lady.

I want to be like her when I grow up!!

 

 Elise in Grandma's chicken galoshes!!

 

 We went to go see the movie 'Home".

It was so cute and the girls loved it.

They were SO good!!

We even had a 30 minute wait because we got there too early!!

 

The best part was that Brent got to be there!!

His days off are in the middle of the week, so he doesn't get to play with us very much.

But during Spring Break we all get to play!!

I can't wait until summer and my girls get to see their Daddy more.
