Spring Training!

The Mariners and the Rockies had a spring training game at Isotopes Park in Albuquerque.  Alex found out and got us tickets!  It was already the second spring training game Emmy and Kaylee have been to so they were old pros!

Kaylee gave Emmy a pretty nasty scratch but Emmy looked cute in her Royals shirt and BYU hat!  All in pink, of course!

Uncle Christian came down with us too!  They were here for Spring break!

Here’s Daddy, Kaylee, and Bill!  We had great seats and a great time!

Cousins visit!!

Way back in March Beth brought the kids for a visit!!  Emmy and Kaylee were really excited to see their cousins and take them to their favorite places around town!  Alex had some long nights at work so Beth and I had a lot of time for girl talk!  This was also the weekend we put the offer in on our current house so we were probably kind of crazy hosts but Beth got to see our new house and help us with her home buying expertise! 🙂 Here are some pics from that trip!

Kaylee and Joshua make a break for it on their motorcycle!!

Logan takes a turn driving with Kaylee in the sidecar!

Emmy loves the curly slide!  She and her friends always go down it together!  Here she goes with her cousin Logan!

Josh loved this double slide!

On Sunday we worked for awhile to get a good picture of all the cousins.  What cuties!  (This picture is already out of date since Logan and Josh now have a little sister!! But we will get pics with all 5 cousins next weekend at her blessing!!!)

I thought this one was cute with their arms around one another!  Kaylee is staring at Josh in most of these pics though!  What good looking kids! 🙂

Cake Auction and Marshmallow Thieves

Every year our ward has a spaghetti dinner and dessert auction to raise money for girl’s camp.  Here are two of the cakes I made for the auction and few pics of what the girls were doing while my attention was occupied!

A castle for the ladies…

A superman cake for the boys (complete with the 2010 mutual theme! Joshua 1:9)

Emmy was just barely tall enough to start opening the pantry for herself so she got the marshmallows for her and Kaylee to share!  At least she also got two plastic cups instead of just dumping them out in piles on the floor! 🙂

Caught red-handed and smiley-faced!

St. Patrick’s Day

Grandpa and Grandma Layman sent them a few goodies for St. Paddy’s day!  Here are the girls sporting their shamrocks!

Emmy figuring out her head band!  Kaylee is already sporting hers!

A purple flower just for Emmy!

“Kiss me, I’m Irish!”

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everybody!

Cowgirl day at preschool!

One week Emmy’s preschool class learned about cowboys and cowgirls!  Then at the end of the week they got to dress up like one!!

The whole time she was getting ready Emmy kept saying “Yee-haw”!! Because that is what cowgirls say!

My friend from church gave us the hat!  Aunt Beth had sent us this really cute shirt that kind of looked bandana-ish and I found an old bandana from Halloween a few years ago to make this ensemble complete!

Emmy loves this shirt from Aunt Beth!  Kaylee has a matching purple one and Emmy always makes Kaylee wear it the same day so that they can be matching!

The hat was a little big but Emmy had fun posing with it!  She loved preschool too!

Random pics from around the house!

One morning Emmy woke up and her hair was just standing on end!  We were giggling about it so she wanted me to take a picture!!  Here she is sporting her Einstein look!

Goldilocks!

And here is the back before it gets combed!  You can see why detangler is always on the shopping list! 🙂

Emmy and Kaylee loved to take naps together on the couch in our old place!  I haven’t tried it yet in our new house!

One day while Emmy was gone at preschool Kaylee and I set up all the tents and tunnels as a surprise for when Emmy got home!  Then we had butterfly shaped grilled cheese for lunch!

I love this picture because this is how Kaylee spends most of her days!  She watches Emmy all the time to make sure she is doing the exact same thing!  If Emmy took a bite, she took a bite!  They are such good sisters to one another!
