Trips. Easter, and being sick!

Its been awhile since Ive posted and Ive got a lot of catching up to do! I went to visit my family in Washington this month for almost a week and a half. We had such a good time just hanging out up there. I always enjoy being able to get out of Utah for awhile! WHile I was there, I was able to find out what everyone has been talking about! I caught up on all the Twilight books! I couldnt really put them down so I read them all pretty fast. Its really easy for me to get into almost anything I read, so I really like them. Plus, it was fun to read them in Washington because its the setting of the book, so I could picture it a lot more. So Im glad I got to read them!

We went to go see some baby lambs and calf and lots of other animals. Makella Loved it! She would point to every animal and do whatever animal sound she needed. She felt the need to Yell "bah" to all the sheep. It was really fun for her and i liked seeing all the babies animals!


We also went to a neat park to go feed some ducks and geese. It was pretty cold that day, but fun anyways. Then Makella and Danika played on the swings and stuff for a little bit.


Makella and Grandma at the pond!


Ben did Makella and Danikas hair. It looks fabulous! Makella liked playing with Danika and its fun that they are only 4 months apart!

This is the fort me and Lacy built for them to play in. They had a great time running in and out of it!


A few days after we got there, Makella got pretty sick. I felt so bad for her! She had 101 fever for a while and was pretty sick for a couple days. She had a cough, a fever and a bad runny nose. She was pretty much miserable and I just had to take some pictures of how sad she looked!


Ella finally got better and the day before I left, we had a little easter celebration. We decorated eggs and had an easter egg hunt for the kids. Matt and Mandy came over and we dinner and a party for Leah's birthday! It was a fun day!

This is Makella's idea of dying eggs! Maybe next year....!

I had a great time in Washington, but I had to come home! I got home on Easter morning and I was sooo sick all day! (Thanks Ella!) So Easter wasnt so great, but I did make a basket for Makella and for Jonny. I got a basket from Jonny too, so its was good! Jon helped me a lot to by letting me rest for a lot of the day! This is about the only picture I got though.


It was sad to have to get back into everyday life, and Ive been pretty busy since I got home, but I definetaly got a little rejuvenation while I was gone. It was great! So Im sorry Its been so long in between posts, Ill try to be better!

Pretty as a picture!

A while ago I got this cute little bench from my friend, but it was blue and had winnie the pooh stuff on it, so I decided I would redo it and make it a bit more girly for makella. There are still acouple of improvments to make on it, but for the most part it is done. I think it turned out pretty good! Makella loves it! So I just had to take some pictures of her with it. The hat she is wearing was one I got at target for a dollar. Whenever we go to stores, we always try on hats, I dont know why, we just do. So I tried this one on her and she loved it! She got really mad when I took it off and she went through the whole store with it on saying "hat" the whole time. Its pretty cute!
