Hippity Hoppity Easter



We had a great Easter Sunday. Daddy was home for the weekend and we got to wear our "pretty outfits". We had some friends over and Bumpa and Nash for Dinner. The Easter Bunny left many wonderful surprises for us in our baskets too. We had to search all over the house to find them.







We hadn't seen Daddy in two weeks so we couldn't help but smother him to death.

A pirate and a princess



My mommy says we've taken over the house since Daddy has been gone. We would be in trouble 24/7 if we weren't so cute!

A tornado hit my daddy's hotel!







Daddy sent us these pictures from his phone this morning. He had a crazy night last night. He has been in Atlanta since Wednesday at a Dental Convention/Trade show. If you haven't seen it on the news yet, a tornado hit downtown Atlanta last night and Daddy was right in middle of all the devastation. Don't worry, he is O.K.. He was (of course) having dinner when it happened. Thank goodness he wasn't in his room! We love you Daddy! Come home soon!

It's Official.. and really fast!



We are moving to this house April 9th! Mommy and Daddy scrambled to get our house ready to sell last week before they left for Salt Lake to find us a new home. Not even 24 hours later, an offer was made on our home in CO. And then a day after Mommy came back from Utah, we made an offer on a new house in Draper, UT. Our closing dates for both houses are on the 9th and Mommy says we will hop in the car and see our new home!! I can't wait. I love my friends here but am eager to see what this new move holds for our family. Here is a link to our new house, if you want to take a look - http://www.utahrealestate.com/765295

We're moving to Utah?!

So after a long wait for Daddy to find a new job, he finally found one. And it's in Utah. It all took us by surprise that we would be moving, especially to the Beehive state. Daddy starts his job March 10, so it seems like things are changing very fast. Mommy and Daddy are leaving for Salt Lake tomorrow morning to find us a new house. I keep asking Mama if there will be toys there and she assures me that there will be and they will look just like my own. I will greatly miss my cousins here and my Nana, Bumpa and Nash but Daddy tells me that there is another "cousin" waiting for me in Utah named Alexa.

Daddy's new job is with a company called Oratech and is based out of West Jordan so Mommy said that is around where our new home will be. It will be so fun to see what this place is like when we are not just visiting and Paigey is very nearby. I miss her so much. Look out Utah, here we come!

And on to Arizona...



We got home from California on a Thursday and Mommy and I left for Arizona on Friday. We went to go visit Aunt Lori and Cousin Kennedi. What a fun girl's trip. We did a lot of shopping and eating. We ate Rosa's two times because Mommy can't get enough. We saw "Step-up 2" which was all about dancing. I really liked it and sang along to some of the songs while stuffing my face with yummy popcorn.

I loved playing with Kennedi. She is such a big girl and she let me play with all her old barbies. We also got to visit Aunt Sarah and my little cousin Hannah. She is so cute, just like a baby doll. Their house is so beautiful and filled with baby toys that I love.

Thanks to Aunt Lori for showing us a good time and letting us stay with her. I couldn't stop telling my mom that I wanted to "go back to Arizona" the whole ride home.

Adventures in Disneyland



We have had a very busy 2 weeks. First, my momma and I had that horrible flu that has been going around. We thought we were going to die and it made it almost impossible to get ready for our exciting trip to California. We were able to pull it together and left President's Day Weekend. We visited with my Grandma Hollie and Grandpa Gordon. I can't even tell you how much we love their house. They are so much fun to hang out with. We played and played, went to Disneyland, and then played some more.

Disneyland was sooooo much fun. Grayson and I earned the trip by getting enough stickers on our "Sleep Rules Chart". We tried our very hardest to follow every single rule and our reward was amazing. We saw Mickey Mouse (grayson's favorite), Minnie Mouse, Goofy (he went on a walk with us) and Ariel (my favorite). Seeing Ariel was definitely the highlight of the day. We rode so many rides but Grayson and I loved the Matterhorn ride the best. It was crazy and a little scary. When we got off, Grayson said "Fun Momma, let's do it again!" What a great day. I keep telling my mom that we need to go back. She just keeps telling me that we have a lot more sleeping to do until we get to do something like that again.






Grayson wouldn't let go of his ticket...












Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for having us! We had such a great time and can't wait to see you again!

Love is in the Air!



Today is a very special day. It's Valentines' Day! Grayson and I found some very special cupid potato heads at our breakfast table this morning. After being sick for a week, I was finally able to go to school today and pass out valentines to my class and i got some really cool ones too. This day is about love, red, pink and hearts. All my favorites. What a great day!

Wrestle Mania!



Sometimes, we need to let out a little extra energy at night at our house. Grayson and I like to do this by trying to pick each other up. I am often more successful at it than he is. In case you are wondering our weight difference is about 4 pounds so the odds are really in my favor anyhow. Mommy and Daddy just roll on the floor laughing every time we attempt a lift - which in turn gets us giggling pretty hard. Family fun at the Milne house!

Show Week at Gym - Grayson's turn



Today it was Grayson's turn to show off his gymnastics skills.  He can really put on quite a show.  Mom had a hard time getting a good picture though, because he is constantly moving.  I love that Grayson!

Show Week at Gym - Afton's turn



Well, today at gym, it was show week. We got to show our families all the skills we have been learning at gym. My mommy came and so did my daddy and Grayson and Nana. I was so glad my Nana came to watch me. I have really improved since I started going to this new gym. I got to wear my new leotard that I got for Christmas too. It is so pretty. Probably the coolest part is that I got a medal at the end. It is so neat!

Primary... Here I Come!!!



It was my first day of primary at church yesterday!  I told my mommy "don't cry, just be happy".  For some reason, this was a very hard step for her.  She just keeps telling me to stop growing.  I just want to keep growing though, so I can be big like Mommy.
