Superheros

Carissa’s been watching “The Incredibles.” The other day she and I were superheros, with a towel around her neck and a blanket around mine.

Even superheros need ice cream treats in the summertime.

Musical Morning

Carissa was groovin’ on the piano, Wes has hittin’ the breadcrumbs, and I was shakin’ my stuff with the plastic maracas. The xylophone was for Dad, but he was sleeping (if he could sleep).

Easter 2013

The day before Easter we colored eggs as a family. Wes is 5 and Carissa is 2, but this is the first time we’ve done this. We’ll be doing it every year now, because they loved it so much.

On Easter morning the two older kids had an Easter basket with a chocolate bunny (not processed in a facility with nuts; that was hard to find), a couple Easter eggs filled with their favorite things (like M&Ms), bubbles, and a wind-up Easter toy.

Then, before church, we took Wes and Carissa outside to find Easter eggs. This was their favorite thing.

Afterward they pulled out their eggs (Wes lined his up in a neat row) and ate and ate and ate. While baby Elizabeth (nearly 5 months old) watched. It was a lovely, fun, sugar-filled day.

Blue and White Football Game

In March (I know! I’m so behind on this blog) after our Easter Egg hunt at BYU John and I took the kids to BYU’s spring football game. Wes was in heaven.

Most common words from his mouth:

“Touchdown!” (no matter what was happening)

and

“Oops, try again!”
