Happy Easter! (Pictures speak for themselves!)

Easter Eggs

It's time to dye Easter eggs!  Yipee...I don't think Audrey knows what this means! (Because after we were all finished, she said "I don't think they are died yet!")
Trying to decide who gets what color! 
Once the eggs were done (or during that process), I was making strawberry cupcakes to enjoy on Audrey's real b/d - Easter Sunday this year.  This is Audrey's face full of strawberry icing!
And Madison trying out a new trick!
Sweet girls!

Birthday Bonanza!

Happy 7th Birthday Madison (December 10th)
Happy 4th Birthday Audrey (April 4th)
We were celebrating birthdays in March.  Madison's birthday was in December, and Audrey's on Easter Sunday this year...so March seemed to be a pretty good month!  This is the beautiful cake that the Gymnastics place ordered.  It was great cake, pretty as can be, and if you look closely...you will see that we celebrated "Aubrey" 's b/d instead of Audrey's!  A common mistake I think, confusing the 'b' and 'd'.  
If you're in first grade!   Audrey didn't mind though!  So not to worry...we ate it all anyways!
Our family picture...Audrey wasn't really up for her picture being taken!  (She never is!)
Madison enjoying refreshments after a long hour of play!  Katelyn is next to her (our neighbor and Audrey's buddy!)
Like I said, not up for all the picture taking!
In the Diamond Mine...Madison with Gavin and Justin from her class at school!
Audrey and her friend "little Austin" (that's what she calls him.  Since Big Austin is her cousin Austin!)
And of course, no Birthday Picture collection would be complete without a shot of me trying to help the girls blow out the candles.  I think I have the exact same pose every year we take pics! 
We had lots of fun! 

Audrey the Firefighter!

Audrey had Community Helper day at her school a few weeks ago.  She wanted to be a POLICEMAN GIRL!  However, we couldn't come up with that outfit, so a Firefighter Woman she was!  Thanks to her friend Brody, she had the jacket, and a personalized hat by Mrs. Lori!
She wasn't crazy about getting her picture taken!  She really didn't want to wear the thing, but I bribed her into getting a few pictures!
She began to get in the spirit!

Community Helper Day was on a Friday at school!  Like I said, I had to bribe her to wear it to at least get out of the car in it at school, so that her teachers could see her come in to school wearing it!  She wore it, but wasn't too thrilled.  The following Sunday....as we were walking out the door all ready for church, I see Audrey coming out with the whole Firefighter Woman "get-up" on...ready to go!
