Say "NO" to Crack

Spring?

I am not convinced it is spring! I can't believe all the snow we got Thursday morning. This happens to me every year. In March when it starts getting warm I get so excited, but I have to remind myself that it is only March, and it's just going to get cold again. But 6 inches of snow in April! That is just not what I expected. I think we are all just ready for some consistently warm weather, maybe next year I will move to Arizona from January to May!

Easter Festivities

We had a great Easter weekend. We had a fun hunt with Gord's family at his sister Cheryl's house on Saturday afternoon. The kids had a hunt, and the "grown-ups" had a hunt. Taeya found a lot of eggs (with a little help), and she ended up with $13. The "grown-up" hunt took place in the rain. Gordon was the lucky winner of the "Golden Egg" which had $50 in it. He ended up with a grand total of $80. I was the unlucky one who only got $10. We got way too much candy, but had a great ham dinner and enjoyed the company of his family.

Taeya and her cousin Laeklan had so much fun playing and dressing-up!

Easter morning Taeya woke up to a lot of fun surprises. She got play dough, bubbles, a few games, and some gum. After church we had a little egg hunt with recycled candy from the day before. We had a nice dinner at Gordon's dads that night. We really enjoyed the day.

Swim Lessons Again



Taeya started swim lessons again a few weeks ago. This picture isn't great, but it makes me laugh to see her eyes so funny looking with these goggles on. Last summer she hated wearing goggles, we found a pink pair she actually enjoys wearing for about 30 minutes! She is doing great in her lessons, I am so proud of how quickly she remembered everything. She loves going and that makes Gordon and I both so happy.

1st Dentist Appointment

Taeya had her 1st dentist appointment on April 2nd with Dr. Shae Bess We talked alot about it before we went and what they were going to do to her. We even read a book about going to the dentist. I think she was a little nervous when she actually climbed into the chair, but the put little headphones on her so she could watch cartoons and she barely even moved.
The dentist said her teeth looked great, not even any stains. Taeya was excited that she didn't have any "buggies" in her teeth. He did say we are on the road to braces because her mouth is already crowded.
Afterwards she got a Snow White toothbrush and a little whistle. She loved it. The next day she asked me when we could go to the dentist again! ( I forgot my camera, so I had to use the camera on my phone, so the images are really small. I figured it was better than nothing!)

Bathtub Girls

Taeya has a best little friend, Brielle. These girls were "forced" to be friends at birth. They are only 3 weeks apart and they live a few houses apart. Thank goodness they love being together, most of the time. One of the things they have always love to do together is take baths, so here are a few pictures through the years.

One Last Snowy Day

Last week-end (March 28-30th) we went to the cabin with our neighbors, the Bailey's. We had such a fun snowy weekend, we just hope it's the last one. Taeya did a little skiing, and loved it. We also went sledding and X-country skiing. We sure love being at the cabin, especially in the snow.
