pigtails

Katie and Nicoles hair is finally long enough to put in pigtails they looked so cute I had to take a picture.

licking the plate

Last night for Family Home Evening we had brownies and vanilla ice cream for our treats. When we were all done eating I looked over at Katie and she was licking her plate clean, it must have been really good.

outside

The weather has been beautiful sunny and 55 degrees. The kids have been so excited to get out and play again. The first time I took the twins out last week they were so excited they both started laughing as they ran down the hill and then they both fell and rolled down the rest of the way. The girls can go down the big slide now without me catching them, Kyle has been spending his time doing tricks on Haileys scooter and practicing soccer, Haileys favorite is playing house. WE are having lots of fun and cant wait until spring and summer.

The Ball

the other night the kids all got dressed up like a prince and princesses and had a Ball they turned on music and danced. It was pretty cute to watch. I love that they think of these things by themselves and that they have so much fun playing together.

I'm 30!!

I turned 30 this week. It sounds so old but I dont feel to much older (except for all the grey hair) I had a really nice birthday. Marc sent this cute email. I put it on here but the pictures didnt copy with it I dont know how to get them on so you get the email without the pictures the pictures were the best part.

Happy number 30 ANNA!!!! Anna, I know that some times I am “Nerdy” at times and don’t always make a big deal about special dates, but since you are turning “Thirty” I didn’t want you to think that I am a “Turdy”. Well since you’re turning “Thirty” I want to do something special for you, so I…..
So I wanted to make you “Thirty” pancakes for breakfast in bed, but I didn’t think we had enough eggs. So I made you one “Dirty” pancake instead. (The dirt is actually cinnamon)
While I was at work I wanted to call you “Thirty” times but I figured you had better things to do? So I just made one big “Flirty” phone call instead.
For dinner I wanted to take you to “Thirty” restaurants, but I know we couldn’t eat that much, So I am taking you to some place “Birdie” instead. (I already have babysitters coming, make dinner for the kids and the sitters should be hear by 5:30)

Anna you are a wonderful wife and mother. I am a very, very LUCKY man! Hope you have a wonderful THIRTIETH Birthday. LOVE, MARC
