Las Vegas with Grandma and Grandpa

We met my parents in Circus Circus in Vegas on our way to their house in Yuma. Pyper wanted to go on the spinning ride and Mom can't handle those rides very well so Grandpa went with her. I think it was a little scary at first, but it quickly turned to "fun fun fun." On the carousel, Zoee had a hard time with me going on with Pyper. Grandma had to point to me each time I went around.

Pyper's Dance

Pyper took a little Dance class at the Rec a little while ago. All the classes had a little performance at the Senior Friendship Center. She loves dance, however, she had a little trouble doing what the teacher said. She likes to dance her own way!

ARIZONA!!!

In May we went to Arizona for Kiara's baby blessing. The girls and I were there for almost two weeks and Bry was there for the weekend. We went to Yuma and stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Jorgensen first. From there we were able to drive out to San Diego and go to Seaworld. Seaworld was fun til everyone was drenched and ready to go home. We didn't think we were low enough at Shamu to get wet, because the dolphins didn't splash that much, but, oh man, did we get wet. The girls were screaming! Then Jessica and I ended up going down the Atlantis ride and the float tube ride (which was a mistake.) We ended up having to buy new pants to ride home in. The girls and I stayed at Jessica's most of the time. We spent one night at Marc and Natalie's. We went swimming alot and took some pictures in the photo studio at Jessica's work. We got our hair done and had family picture's taken at Sears. The day after the blessing, just before everyone went back home, we had Chris's family watch the kids while the adults went and saw Spiderman 3. The trip was tons of fun. It's always good to be with family.

Easter

Easter was a bit stressful till after church. I was still trying to finish the girls' hats and I had to give my first lesson in Relief Society. Usually I am really excited about Easter and the Easter Bunny coming, but we're lucky the Easter Bunny even came this year. I decided NOT to make the girls' dresses this time. We went to Burlington Coat Factory and got the cutest ones that were the right sizes. I did have to embelish the hats a bit to make them match the dresses. After church was fun. We had some pictures and then Grandma and Grandpa Bailey came over to play.

EGG HUNT @ the Rec

I know, I know. I'm finally making another post. I have several new posts I want to make, but I don't have all my pics loaded yet, so it'll take some time. The Easter egg hunt at the Orem Rec Center was great! Both Pyper and Zoee were so good. Pyper did just what I told her and went for all the eggs first, then the candy; and Zoee picked up everything on her own! Even with all the eggs Pyper picked up, though, she still didn't win any prizes. It's all good, it was still fun. At least it wasn't raining like last year.

Our New Dog--Barkly

We've had Barkly now for about 2 weeks! He's a pretty good dog as long as he doesn't eat anything other than his own food. He kind of just sits and sleeps and takes the abuse from the kids. He's a pretty good guard dog too. He'll bark when someone comes to the door and he knows we are home. He can shake hands and sits and lays when you tell him to. He obeys really well! I still have a hard time with the poop in the yard, but Bryant has gone to clean it up. (As long as I don't have to.) He's actually missing a hip so when Bryant took him to the river to go fishing and he was jumping around chasing the fish, the next day he was so sore he was limping around. I thought for sure he had a broken leg. I must admit, as much as I did not want a dog, we got the perfect one for us!

ZOEE'S 1ST BIRTHDAY!

Zoee turned 1 year old on February 15th. It was just a little party with just us, but we had fun. Dad blew up some balloons and Mom made a cake. Zoee just enjoyed having a whole piece of cake to herself without any help.
