Our little fish...


This is what happens when Mckenzie gets a bath, Abby doesn't and I turn my back for one second...

Easter 2009

Dan and I have been together for 6 Easter's now and this is the FIRST time we have decorated eggs together (at least that I can remember). It was quiet an adventure decorating with two kids under the age of 2. Your eggs don't come out quite the way you want them too.


Abby decided she likes licking the dyed eggs...

...and making a mess with them too.


Mckenzie did a great job with her eggs and was actually pretty patient through the whole thing!

This is Easter Sunday. I must have deleted the cute picture of Abby instead of this picture. Oh well, she's cute just the same.


For Easter dinner, we went to my Aunt's house. The girls were the only kids there so Mckenzie had a blast on the Easter Egg Hunt!



Apparently, Abby thought the dog KC should get an Easter egg too.

This is my cousin Lauren and the girls playing with their bubbles. I am amazed at the bubble blowers now days. There used to only be the one holed wand. The girls now have ones that are way cooler!

Boston Temple

Bree and Lane (Jessica's sister and brother) visited for their spring break. We love having them visit! Bree had her 11th birthday while she was here and wanted to visit the temple on her birthday! Mckenzie absolutely loves going to the temple and throws a fit when we leave the temple. It was nice having my brother and sister go with us to the temple and it made my life a little easier as Mckenzie threw a fit. Here's some pictures of the temple.




Yankee Candle Company and Magic Wings

We went to Magic Wings and the Yankee Candle Company one Saturday while Lane and Bree were visiting. Magic Wings is a 8000 sq.feet butterfly conservatory that holds 4000 different butterflies. It was pretty amazing. The girls loved it! Abby loved trying to catch them and Mckenzie freaked out anytime one would come near her. We were amazed at how friendly the butterflies were... well at least to some of us (Dan didn't have a single one land on him).

MAGIC WINGS:



I don't know who this guy was, but the butterflies seemed to know him really well!



This is Mckenzie's pouty face. She refused to look at the camera. Little stinker!




Like I said, Abby loved trying to catch the butterflies.

Primary Songs


Mckenzie continues to love singing and music, especially primary songs. At any given moment she'll break out in song. Today we were singing "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam" and from her mouth we heard "Jesus wants me for a Sun BEET". Apparently, not a sugar beet, but a SUN BEET is what Jesus wants us to be. Oh, you gotta love the way a 2 year old pronounces things.
