Go, go, go Joseph

Before bed each night the girls choose a CD to listen to while they go to sleep. The other night Annalie picked 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' soundtrack. When she was Malorie's age she and I would ride along and Annalie would be the narrator and I would be Joseph and we could basically sing the entire soundtrack. I feel as though I have failed Malorie as a mom because this was the first time that she had ever heard it. Anyway, Sunday morning the girls and I are driving to church (as Matt is already there for meetings) and we were listening to 'Joseph' again. As we are singing along Annalie said, "Mom, Joseph has a really good voice!" I said, "Yes he does! It is Donny Osmond." To which Annalie replied, "No, Mom, he has a REALLY good voice! I mean, he is A LOT better than Dad!" "Yep."

I guess Donny has a new fan.

Camping In

Since Colorado weather does not permit us to camp out at this time of year and since my pregnant belly and pending baby will not let us camp out this summer, we are lucky enough to have received a beach tent from Great Grandma Lucy to have a camp in! We put the tent up in the toy room and the girls slept there for about a week. We finally told them that they needed to sleep in their own beds....but not without one last night. :)

Easter Time

We had a great Easter! We had multiple Easter egg hunts where the girls were very good at finding and shaking the plastic eggs to see if they could guess their treasure.

We were then able to get dressed in our Sunday best and go and learn about what Easter really means to us. We are so grateful for our Savior and the sacrifice that he made for us!

Goin' back to Cali

We went back to California for a visit last weekend and it was quite fun. We went to the beach which the girls were super excited about.

While we were there we were able to go to the San Diego Zoo. We never really did this when we lived down there and it was quite a treat. All of the animals performed for us so we got some great pictures of them!

The girls with the pink flamingos!

We ended the day at the Zoo with the Sky Ride.



Overall it was a lot of fun and a lot of visiting with our friends. We look forward to visiting again!

Remember who you are...

The other day Malorie went over to a friends house to be babysat. When I went to pick her up at the end of the day my friend informed me that Malorie had said, "When I was little I was cute." She then went on to say, "I'm still cute."
At least she knows who she is.

BFFs

Some friends of our gave us tickets to a fan appreciation night for the Denver Nuggets. It was at the Aquarium which was kind of fun! We got to walk around and see the different fish and then we also got to get some pictures with our new Best Friends! :) Annalie and Malorie were able to feed some sting rays which was really cool!

What's that smell?

Yesterday Matt and Malorie were "wrestling" when Malorie let out a little toot. Matt said, "It smells like you tooted." To which Malorie replied, "No, it smells like your breath!" Matt and I were laughing so hard I don't know if he was more offended or entertained. It is awesome being a parent. :)
