Easter

Yes, it's true Easter was a month ago but I had so much fun this year that I had to share it with you.  For the first time,  Mommy let us decorate and dye eggs.  It was so much fun, I wish I could do it every day.  I remind Mommy almost daily that I want to do it again.  She just keeps telling me that we can only do it once a year though.  Grayson and I drew special designs on the eggs with crayon and then we dipped them in the dye as many times as we wanted.  I really love all the colors we came up with.

The day before Easter, we got to go to a really big Easter egg hunt at the city park.  They had a big field covered in plastic eggs and when they blew the whistle, we ran to get them and loaded them in our baskets.  Grayson didn't want any "girl colors" in his basket, so he kept throwing eggs out after Mommy put them in for him.  He is so silly.  Lots of the eggs had candy in them but a few had golden tickets in them.  We got 3 golden tickets!!!!  We were so lucky.  We took our golden tickets up to a special table and they gave us huge baskets with big prizes in them.  I still carry the big fluffy bunny I won everywhere with me.

On Easter Sunday, we dressed up in our very best.  Mommy took our picture and then we learned about Jesus and the Resurrection at church.  After church, we ran around the house hiding eggs for each other.  I LOVE EASTER!  I can't wait till the next one.

March, April, May...

I am sure many of you are mad at me for leaving the picture of bloody Grayson up for so long. I laughed and laughed about it. But so much has happened since then. Lots of catch-up to do. I will start with one of my favorite things that happened in the past moths.





A month ago, we celebrated my Grandma Thelma's 80th birthday. It was so much fun. All my family from my daddy's side came to visit us and we had a big party in a hotel in Salt Lake City. We dressed up, took pictures, played with our cousins and even got to do a program.





I sure love my Grandma Thelma and my Grandpa Johnny. I wish we got to see them more. I love going to Canada to visit them.

Oh, Grayson

Last week in the middle of the night, this is what Mommy found. Grayson covered head to toe in blood. This poor kid has had a rough time with bloody noses lately. Somehow, he manages to get blood everywhere when he has one. Even his feet! How does this happen?! Who else in the world has to take a bath every time they have a bloody nose?

A trip to Sunny CO

A few weeks ago, without much warning, Mommy packed us in the car and drove us to Colorado for a much needed vacation. We were missing Nana, Bumpa, Nash and all the Blandfords. We had so much visiting them and all our dear friends we left behind in Colorado.

We saw the musical "Beauty and the Beast" and Nash's school.

We had so much fun digging into Nana's dress-ups.  Grayson loves Batman

We had a great time playing with Marin and Susan.  

They are the best neighbors on the planet and it was hard saying goodbye again.

Be Milne on Valentine's Day

I can't even tell you how much I love Valentines' Day.  I had the best time picking out cards for my classmates and then signing them.  I also made cards for Daddy and Paige.  I loved getting out all the supplies with Mommy and making great works of art.  She let me cut, punch and glue and everything.

Grayson loved making Valentines for his class too.  He insisted on giving everyone squirt guns for their treat.  

Mommy made us these t-shirts for the big day and for our class parties.

p.s. Mommy finally let me cut my hair. I love it, I can't stop staring at myself in the mirror.

The Visitors

Two weeks ago, we were so lucky to have visitors from Colorado!  Nana, Bumpa and Nash came for a quick weekend trip.  We read lots of books and ate lots of good food together.

We all took a trip to see the new Draper Temple which is just a quick walk from our house.  Grandpa Glade and Grandma Coralie came down for the tour too.

Me and Grayson loved he Bus ride up there the most!

Thanks for coming to visit us, Nana and Bumpa!  We can't wait to see you again.  Hopefully, we make it out there next week and get to stay for a long time.

Grayson's Show Week at The Little Gym

Today it was Grayson's turn at The Little Gym. He is in a class called "Terrific Tots" which is mostly pre-school with gymnastics too. We got to watch him show off his stuff and we learned that he is really good at following directions.

He got to make a grand entrance.



He did a really good gymnastics routine.



He sang some really good songs. (my mom said to apologize for the crazy camera work. i was sitting on her lap and wouldn't stop bumping her arm.)





He also got a medal and certificate. We are so pround of our little Grayson!

My show week at The Little Gym

Today I did my performance at The Little Gym for all the moms and dads.  It was so much fun, I especially love doing my ballet.  My class is gymnastics and dance.  I got a medal and Mommy said she was so proud of me.

Us at the Aquarium today

Heaven

This is Heaven on Earth for Grayson.  A sucker in his mouth.  No pants.  Playing with a car via remote control.

A new Sunbeam in the house

Last Sunday was Grayson's first day as a Sunbeam at church.  That means he got to go with me to Primary for the first time.  We sit across the row from each other.  He did really good.  He was very reverent and listened to his teacher.  He even made a really nice picture.

Christmas

I can't believe it has already been a week since Christmas day. And what a great week it has been. It all began Christmas eve with a visit from the Pajama Elves. We sat by the fire and listened to Daddy read "The night before Christmas". We could hardly wait for the next morning but we closed our eyes and fell asleep early (just how mom likes it).

We woke up to many wonderful gifts. Santa brought us just what we wanted. And all the presents under the tree were amazing. We are totally spoiled. I think we will have a new book to read everyday for two weeks.

Sorry for the angle, guess you will have to turn your computer sideways

I performed in the school Christmas program. It was so fun.

On Stage, singing our hearts out

Grayson also had his school program and we got to make a gingerbread house with him.

Grayson singing his little heart out

On Christmas night, we were scheduled to fly to California. We almost thought we wouldn't make it. It had snowed at least a foot and our plane had to wait forever until it could get down the runway and take off. We made it eventually and boy were we glad. We enjoyed the warm sun, played with Grandma and Grandpa, played with our cousins and had non-stop fun. Grayson's favorite thing was making a bed with pillows from the couch on the floor. And he wasn't content until someone's legs were extended above him. He is a silly guy.
