My Emma..How You've Grown!

Kelti and Emma were goofing around the other day and this is what they came up with. Emma thought it was pretty cool and Kelti couldn't stop giggling!

Easter

Better late than never! Spring Break and jet-lag and my excuses, if that counts for anything. But here are some pics of our traditional Easter egg hunt. Kelti is out-growing this fun event. She informed me that this will be the last year she will participate. So sad!! Maybe it was a mood thing?! Let's hope.

Uncle D and Auntie Carmen's Wedding

My little brother finally took the plunge! Last minute it all came together and I was able to go to Mexico for the wedding. It was great to be with my family and hang out with them for a while. The wedding was beautiful and we were all just in awe over how happy and in love the bride and groom were. I have never seen Darren show so much emotion and affection...it was great!! Here's a few pics of the event...

Great Youth!

On Wednesday afternoon, I was able to go to the Temple with Kelti and Mitchell. It was great being there with my kids. Especially to be able to go with Mitchell for his first time. Both of them had a great time.


After, the Bishop took the youth for pizza. It was good times and great food! Being the annoying Mum that I am, I had to get a picture of my kids...together...loving each other. This is all I got!

Guess I should be grateful they let me take pictures, lol!
It was a great day!

It's Great to be Eight!

Kiana turned 8 yesterday and was pretty excited about it. There are so many things to look forward to at the ripe old age of 8...she doesn't have to use a booster seat in the car anymore, she will be baptized, she gets to go to Activity Days, and so much more. Wow time goes fast. Happy Birthday sweet Nani!

Of course, Kelti made her cake. I'm a bad mum and didn't get things together soon enough so that Kiana could have the cake she wanted. We will have to wait for the party for that one. It's a good thing Kelti likes doing the cakes.

Quiet Time with Grandpa

My Dad loves to read. Most evenings while he was here, he would sit and read. A couple of times we would catch Kiana and Emma curled up with him reading and following his example. It was too sweet! Of course, Ringo had to join in the fun!

Aquarium Visit with Grandma

While my Mum and Dad were here we took the kids to The Living Planet Aquarium. It was great and the kids loved seeing all the fish. This is a video of Mitchell and Kelti getting up the courage to pet the sting rays. I had to bribe them ($5) to do it. After they did it, they couldn't get enough. Kids!!!



Kiana and Emma wouldn't touch the sting rays, but were very brave touching the horseshoe crabs and other sea creatures. The sharks were pretty cool too.
Thanks Lorraine for the passes!!
