Getting Ready for Easter

 My studious little Aubrey....working hard on her reading and writing! 
 Lexie likes to help me make grilled cheese, her job is to open the cheese slices for me
 Catie's progression to getting onto her belly...crawling isn't far behind I don't think!




 I did it!  Up close an personal now!
 It's been a long day...
 ...for both of us!
 Lexie looks on as Grandpa cleans out our piano and fixes all the keys that stick!  Who knew that coasters and paint brushes weren't supposed to be in the piano!?
 Our Easter project!  I got the idea from Bethany...we did this instead of coloring eggs this year!  These taste a whole lot better!!

 Aubs is in uniform for soccer this weekend!


 Easter morning...before sunrise church!  The girls were following their clues to find their Easter presents
 Lexie in her pretty Easter dress from Grandma and Grandpa Nelson
 Roar!!  She cleans up well too, eh?
 We attempted to take pictures after church while they were all still dressed up...
I love Catie's face in this one!
Happy Easter from our family to yours! 
He is Risen, He is Risen indeed!

Aubrey's Big Day!

 Aubrey started soccer today!  She's the girl in the pink sweatshirt.
 That's her coach in the grey sweatshirt...she was a knee surgery away from making the Women's Olympic soccer team!  She is such an awesome coach to this group of 4-6 year olds.
 I'll post more pictures next week when she's in her uniform.  She picked #12 to be like Uncle Nate!
 As is starting soccer wasn't enough, Aubs also learned to ride alone without the training wheels! She made it all the way to Uncle Aaron's house and back down the path!
 There she goes!

She was pretty fired up about her big day!  It's great to be 5!

Girls Girls Girls!

 Sometimes I've got to wonder what the neighbors think!
 It hit 80 degrees...Lex had to bust out the swim suit and lawn chair!





 Allie loves the new iPad Josh got for the class he's taking

 Hanging out with Daddy





 Dressed herself...she's loving the "new" wardrobe (I switched her dresser from 3T to 4T)

 Showing off her new birthday jammies...the other non-spideyman jammies



 Big girl loves to stand next to the couch!


 Yay for Catie!



 First ride in the outdoor swing...she LOVED it!



 This is her sleeping position everytime...rolled over to the one side

 Silly Catie!
