Huntington Beach

 

 We are doing our 4th Ragnar as cousins tomorrow morning.  Kathryn, Kristen and I flew in to Southern California and head right to the Huntington Beach pier for lunch at Ruby's.  We were joined by Scott, Kristoni, Cassidy, Lucas and Melissa.  While we were there we got a text that another cousin Hannah just got her mission call to Paris France!  We are so excited for her but sad she is not with us for this Ragnar.

Easter Sunday

 

 

 We got ready early so we could take some pictures before church, we drove up towards Midway.  We were happy to have Hannah with us and were joined by Emily later for dinner.   Diana sent the cute dresses for the girls.

Easter Saturday

 

 

  We had fun getting together my my sisters and cousin and families to have an Easter lunch and hunt together.  It is always fun to get together and the kids had a great time, we missed my Mom who is still in Australia. We were happy for sunny weather, even though it was a little on the chilly side.

 

 

 

Mom has been having a wonderful time in Melbourne Australia with Jeff and Tobi.  She has been able to do a little exploring and bike riding on a bike that Jeff's friends Dave Dad's fixed up for her.  They were able to get down town one night and walk around and enjoy the city.  Tobi finished is last chemo treatment and they had a fun smash chocolate candy cake to celebrate!

Norah

 

 

 My friend Camille had a little baby girl yesterday.  Ali and I were out for dessert for visiting teaching and we stopped by the hosptial on our way home.  I went back today to take a few photos.  She is adorable and so tiny.  She is lucky to come into a great family with 3 older brothers to take care of her.

Glasses

Gabrielle's prescription changed a little so we picked out new frames for her.  Tabitha eyes are still perfect, even though she really wants glasses!  I told her she should never want glasses and be grateful for perfect eyesight.  I have tried several different kinds of contacts because I don't see 100%, we can't find anything that works with my eyes.  I would love to get surgery and see good.

Chicks

We brought the baby chicks to the backyard for a bit today, their first time outside.  They were really cute to watch.  Winston did great with them, hopefully they can be good friends.

Happy St. Patricks Day!

 We had Lucky Charms for breakfast and Sherbet and sprite for dessert!  I am grateful for my Irish heritage.

Baby Chicks

Brandon and the girls were excited to get 4 baby chicks.  We haven't had chickens all winter so it will be fun to have them again.  We each picked a name, Sandy the Cactus, Lois, Potter and Snape.
