Look who's got a job!!!!!

Yes it's true!!!! Jordan came home from his trip to Washington DC with a great job working for the FDIC (Federal Deposit of Insurance Corporations) in Albany, Georgia. He and Jamie are so excited to have a job and it will be an adventure for sure. We are going to miss not having all our kids close enough to come home for Sunday dinners, but we have already started a savings account for our trips to Georgia. I'm so grateful for free long distance and that Jamie is such a great blogger, to keep us up to date on what's going on with them. Good luck!!!! It's hard to believe our baby will be SO FAR away.

Morgan and Chase are married!

On April 2, Chase and Morgan got married in the Oquirrah Mountain Temple. It was a great day!!! After the wedding, we went to a delicious luncheon, then ended the day at their reception. Everything was SO NICE!

Aren't they cute?

Here's a picture of Opi and his 3 big girls at Chase's reception. They are so lucky to have such an AWESOME grandpa. He is the best!!!! He is a super babysitter, and has used his babysitting skills quite often with the granddaughters. They love him to pieces and he loves them!!!! I couldn't have picked a better grandpa for my adorable granddaughters.

Look who turned 2 years old!

My little niece Keelie was here with her parents Charlie and Mackenzie for Chase and Morgan's wedding. Her birthday was the day after and she turned 2 years old

Robynn had heard all about the Childrens Museum for the last year, and wanted to take Keelie there for her birthday. I grabbed Hailey and Libbie and we joined Keelie and her family and off we went. The girls were SO CUTE with Keelie, they just adore her, and had a great time playing with her there.

The girls had fun in the building area, they loved working the crane to bring the big blocks up to the top.

A little ride on a row boat

The girls loved having Lani help them play in the water

Here's Keelie with her darling bunny birthday cake,
all ready to blow out her candles.

Aida is getting so close to walking, she takes 5 or 6 steps.
It won't be long now!!!

On Saturday night, we went over to mom's house and the girls dyed Easter Eggs. Lani made these groovy garbage bag outfits for them to wear.

On Easter Sunday, we had 32 people for dinner, what a crew! It was a little cozy, but lots of fun. Jamie made some cute Easter cupcakes called Rabbit Hole cupcakes. Notice the bunny feet and tails, and the grass with flowers and Easter eggs in it. She is so cute, we love all her cupcake creations!!!!
 

A sad day

Last night on the news I heard that the baby giraffe that was born at Hogle Zoo last summer died. I was so sad, we had just seen it last Saturday when we were at the zoo. We were there to see it when it was only one day old, and have loved visiting it every time we go to the zoo. We will really miss you little Jamar!!!!
 

Spring is in the air!!!

Last weekend, after Morgan's bridal shower, I invited Hailey and Libbie for a sleepover. (Molly was having a cousin sleepover at her Grandma Joanie's house, so she wasn't available.) Saturday was a nice day, so we bundled up and headed to the zoo. I thought the girls were big enough to walk, but they REALLY wanted to ride in the stroller, so we took it along. I can't believe how big they have gotten, it's quite a job to push the two of them in it!

Little Zuri is still pretty small, compared to her mom!

There were lots of fun things to see.

The baby giraffe has really grown since our last visit!

About the only way we can get them to leave, is to promise them a ride on the Merry go Round. They always love that!!!

Yesterday, Jamie and his girls came to play at our house while Emily went to a soccer practice. I took the girls to the park to play, while Jamie helped Mike put up our trampoline.

Molly loves to jump!

Our trampoline does CRAZY things to her hair!!!!
 

Preschool at Grammy's school again!

It's preschool time at Bonneville Jr. High again, and it is so much fun that my 3 oldest granddaughters could join us. One day, Hailey, Libbie and her cousin Alissa came, and the other day, Hailey and Molly came. They loved playing play dough.

Some of my students made cookies for them to frost.

Lots of sprinkles make a yummy cookie!

Yum, yum, yum!!!

Two cute cousins

They had fun finding the Easter eggs the kids had hidden

One of the kids brought a pinata and they sure had fun trying to break it open

Hailey was quick to get some of the treats

Libbie got lots of treats too

They made some cute little bunnies

Molly and Hailey came to preschool on Wednesday. They sang songs and played ring around the rosies.

Rain, rain go away!

Molly is good at gluing.

They had fun playing Spring Bingo

I loved having my sweet granddaughters come to my preschool!!!!
 

Our best week!

The weather this week has been BEAUTIFUL!!!! Monday, on my way home from school, I called Krista to see what she was doing. She was on her way home from Preschool, and then had to go run several errands after she picked up her girls. I volunteered to take her girls to the park while she ran her errands. Mike met me over at her house and we loaded the girls up in the stroller and walked to the park. We had such a fun time!!!! We called Grandma Cline and she came over to the park, since it was right by her house. Tuesday, Jamie called to see if we could watch his girls while he surprised Emily and took her on a date for her birthday. We had so much fun with them. Then Wednesday is our night to tend Libbie and Katie, so it made for a great week with the granddaughters!!!!
Here's cute little Aida

Hailey still likes to swing in the baby swing sometimes.

Tiny Abbie is a sitting girl, (you still have to keep a close eye on her, she does tip over)

Molly loves to build with our GIANT LEGOS!

Oh little Katie, please don't learn to climb out of your crib!!!!!

Libbie always needs a little snack before bedtime.
