What are you allergic to?

This is my niece, Alyssa, one of the MANY kids I watch.

Her mom says she is allergic to the floor and I believe her because this is what she looks like almost every time you set her on the floor.
I love you Alyssa. I hope someday they find a cure for being allergic to the floor :-)!

Fun on the tramp

Well, the weather has finally cooperated and Doug put the trampoline up. The girls are so excited. Ella talked me into going out and jumping on the tramp with her and then everyone ended up jumping. We had lots of fun and the girls thought it was funny how I would scream if I jumped too high (which wasn't really that high). Here are a few pictures of us jumping.

I never realized how hard it is to take an action picture. I was trying to get a picture of Erika in the air and here is what I got.
Oh well, she has a cute bellybutton.

I finally figured out, after about 100 pictures (thank goodness for digital cameras) how to take a few pictures.

I can't believe how high they dare to jump! I guess I'm just getting old.

Here is one you can actually see her face in.
Erika can do a flip on the tramp. She is crazy. It scares me to watch her on the tramp.
And once again Ella took over the camera and took a self portrait. She needs a haircut, but look at those beautiful eyes.

Another Grizzlies game

We got free hockey tickets to the Grizzly game on Friday night. Lizzy, Emily and Ella didn't want to go so they stayed with their Aunt Kimmy. Erika is the only one that wanted to go. Once again, I forgot my camera. Erika was so cute. She was yelling "Go Grizzlies" at the top of her lungs. And every time the Alaska Aces scored she yelled "Boo"! The Grizzlies lost, but we had fun anyways.

Happy Easter

Well, we had a fun filled Easter weekend. First the girls and I made bunny hats at home.


We had a party with Doug's family on Saturday. We did some Easter crafts, made chocolate suckers, had an Easter egg hunt and dinner. Here are some pictures from that.

Jante was ready to find the eggs.

Here is a picture that Ella took of her cousin Jante. She is turning out to be quite a good photographer.
And here is Jante trying to smell the dandelions.


Then Sunday morning the girls got up to find the eggs that the Easter Bunny had hidden for them. The Easter Bunny also spoiled them by bringing them Disney Sing It and High School Musical 3 Sing It for the Wii. They had to follow clues to find the games.

I taught them how to paint their face with Robin Eggs.

Then we went to church. They put on a very nice program for Sacrament Meeting. I felt the Spirit there very strong. I hope that my children remember that Easter isn't all about the Easter Bunny and candy.

After church we went to my mom's house for yet more candy and dinner. Dinner was DELICIOUS and I ate way too much.

The kids got to find eggs at Grandma's house.

I think Alyssa was upset because she didn't get to find any eggs.
Or maybe she was just tired like her mommy.
We had a wonderful Easter. I think the kids will be on a sugar high for at least the next few weeks. They got way too much candy!!

Karaoke Warner style

For Family Home Evening I decided to karaoke for our activity. We all had to sing one solo and then a duet. I went first and sang Home to You by John Michael Montgomery.
Then Erika sang Work This Out from High School Musical 2.
Then Ella sang Right Here, Right Now from High School Musical 3.
Then Lizzy sang White Horse by Taylor Swift.
Then Doug sang The Tide is High by Blondie. He really got into it.

Then Emily sang Can I Have This Dance from High School Musical 3. You can't tell from the picture but she was dancing while she was singing.
Then came our duets. Ella and I were first and first. We sang I Lived in Heaven.
Then we sang Livin' On A Prayer by Bon Jovi. Please make sure you are not drinking anything before watching this video as I do not want to be responsible for any damage done to your computer. Let me apologize to Bon Jovi for my poor performance. Take careful note of Lizzy jamming out in the corner.


Then Emily and Doug sang Our Family is of God.
Then they sang You Are The Music In Me from High School Musical 2.


Lizzy and Erika sang I am a Builder
And then they sang A Night To Remember from High School Musical 3.



We had fun and laughed a lot. Thanks Doug and the 4 E's for helping make memories that will last a lifetime.
