Annika has been really into playing with friends. Everyday she asks me well who am I going to play with? The other day we had her friend Shaye over, and they wanted to watch Cinderella and of course they wanted to dress up like Cinderella while watching it. It was really cute.
We went up to Logan to go to Baby Animal days with my mom, and it snowed the whole day. So... instead of going to see the baby animals we stayed at my moms house and made some sugar cookies. We did drive down to IFA and look at the chicks that they had there. The girls loved it.
Another day when it was raining we made some more cookies. Annika decorated them all by herself. She was so proud.
Ady has been into climbing on everything lately. One day Ady climbed into the shoe basket in their closet, and so Annika climbed into their hamper. It was so much fun for them. (It amazes me the things that they find and have fun with.)
One day we went to Monkey Island with some neighbor kids. Annika always loves it. I decided that maybe Ady would like to bounce too. I put her in one of the little bouncy houses and Annika jumped by her. Ady loved it. I think she felt like one of the big kids.
One day we were out in the backyard playing and I looked over and Annika was hanging upside down from the bar. I have seen her hang from it before but never upside down with no hands. I didn't scream I just thought I would see what happened. Well she fell. She came running over to me, and was crying. She was holding her head, when I moved her hand to see the damage, I started laughing. She had a grass stain on her hair! Once I started laughing she started laughing and she was fine.
I found out that I am the only one in our family who doesn't like melon. Everyone else loves it!
We went to St. George with my family. We went out to Snow Canyon and played in the sand dunes. We had a little jumping competition. It was so fun! I am laughing right now remembering some of the jumps. (There were a couple face plants and mouths full of red sand.) So funny. We came back to the hotel and Brian got sick. So The girls and I went to my cousins wedding. On the way home from the wedding Annika asked me if we could go back and play in the sand again. I told her that we could another time. Then she asked me if the builders could put that sand in our back yard. :) ha ha Probably not.
One day I babysat McKell and Kennidee and we went out to play. They all had so much fun playing in the sand pile. Ady climbed right in, and had so much fun with all of the girls. Although Ady's favorite thing to do is eat the sand. (Gross).
Then there was Easter. We went to a neighborhood easter egg hunt. Annika was really fun to watch this year because she knew exactly what was going on. She ran anound the whole yard picking up as many eggs and she could and screamed with joy the whole time!
Ady sat on the ground and picked up an egg, and shook it. She was fine with making it a rattle! She did want the candy in them, but didn't want to pick up any eggs.
Saturday night we had Brian's family over, we had dinner, and colored some eggs. It was a lot of fun.
On Sunday the girls got to wear their matching dresses to church. They looked so cute! That evening we did an egg hunt in our backyard. Annika loved it and ran around and picked them all up, and Ady crawled into the sand box and ate some sand!
And that is what we have been doing.
