Katelyn's Bug Program

Katelyn had her 1st Kindergarten program. It was absolutely adorable! She did a fantastic job! She was so cute! Katelyn decided to dress up as a bee.

Here is the kids singing one of their bug songs. It was so cute!!!! I'm hoping that Mike can upload the rest of the videos to our website at www.mikeanddede.com, some were too big to upload here on blogger. It was so fun and Katelyn knew every song and did so great! It was so cute!

Oh Madilyn...My Busy Madilyn!

My little Maddie is the busiest child I have ever had! She is so crazy and always getting into things. Just this last week she cracked my phone hardcore, spilled red Powerade all over my carpet, ruined our seedling starts, broke a picture frame, spilled baby powder all over her room and herself, and many other things I don't remember right now. This of course added in with the at least 3 times a day spilling a glass of water and her food all over the floor. She is nuts, but so cute! Here are some pictures of her baby powder fun!

I think she looks so darn cute in this picture!!!!

She is crazy and busy but I love her so much and wouldn't want her any other way!

Family Fun Times!

What fun family is! We got to go to Temple Square in SLC with Mike's family on April 23rd. We went and had dinner and then went to the Joseph Smith movie at the Legacy Theater. After the movie I asked Katelyn and Mayli what their favorite parts were. Mayli said,"I liked it when Joseph was healing all the sick people." Katelyn said, "I liked it when Joseph yelled at those men when he was in jail." While she told me this she held her fist tight just as he did in the movie. It was so special to have them watch this movie and talk to them about it. Afterwards we went to walk around. The temple was absolutely beautiful!

Here we are having fun!

Busy Week

Well it has been quite crazy and busy this past week. I got a haircut on Tuesday...for Relief Society we had a service auction and I got a haircut for free from a lady who cuts hair in our ward. Here is what it looks like.

My dear Uncle Ross passed away on April 9th. He was such a wonderful person always happy and kind to everyone. One of my favorite quotes he said is, "You gotta find the joy in everything! It's there, once you find it, live it!" We had his funeral on Friday, April 16th. The memorial service was wonderful and the day was beautiful outside. We love him and are so happy he is pain free now. We can't wait until we can see him again. Here are a few pictures from the viewing on Thursday.

My sisters and mom. Carli, Mom, and Kenna

Me across the girls. Me, Carli, Mom, and Kenna.

We did a girls night on Friday. We had the funeral that morning and afternoon and then a wedding reception that night. Afterwards all us ladies went out to have some fun after an emotional day.

Lindsay, me, Kenna, and Mom...Carli was taking the picture. (we missed you Kenzie and Celeste)

Carli needed a purse to borrow cuz all she had was a diaper bag. I let her borrow my super cute yellow one. She was so excited!

Mom and Kenna

Carli doing a sexy pose

Kenna eating the apples from her smoothie

Mom and me enjoying our lemonades...I actually ordered a limeade but my lemonade was good too!

Lindsay enjoying her smoothie

Poor Carli had canker sores so all she could drink was water.

Kenna posing by Beyonce...My mom looked at the poster and said, "Kenna you should go pose like Bee-on-ss!" (instead of Bee-on-say) So funny! So Kenna went and took a picture by the poster.

Me looking around the corner

Kenna sneaking into the mens bathroom

Carli posing like Fonzie.

Kenna posing like Angelina Jolie...I think her face is perfect...anyone else thinks Angie always look like that?!?

We wanted a picture of all 5 of us...we had some girl take one but it was blurry...so this was the next best thing!

The cleaning checklist in the bathroom...it had no checks! EEK!

Kenna, Mom, and me posing like Beyonce.

Next few pictures we decided it would be fun to find signs and take pictures by them like they read.

I...Hop! Hahaha! We are hopping!

Poor Lindsay hurt her hip a couple of weeks ago and she is still gimping everywhere...so we had a take a pic!

Chili's...we were chilly!

Extend Stay America...Kenna and Carli are staying for a long time

We had to run to Walmart after to get a few things. While we where there I went to the bathroom and ended up walking into the men's bathroom! There was a guy in there...luckily just washing his hands...and I go oops wrong bathroom! And run out. The guy was laughing so hard and so was I! Embarrassing!

Mom and Kenna coming out of the bathroom...Kenna couldn't stop pulling out paper towels!

So tired after a crazy, long day!

But still smiling!
