Sha-Poopie

Which came first: the chicken or the egg?
TOP:Logan - is playing pretend with his favorite chick, Orange Juice. They are playing "pirates" and Orange Juice is the trusty parrot sidekick.
Kylee - is being over run by little fuzzy baby chicks... Aaahhhh! She isn't quite sure if she likes them or not... they sure do taste FUNNY!
BOTTOM:
Jolee - is overjoyed that she gets to take the chicks home and raise them! Well until they are big enough to stay at Papa's house with all of the other chickens in the chicken coop - to live out their fulling lives as egg layers or the main ingredient in "chicken" pot pie! YUMMY!!!
Ethan - is SURPRISED as you can see that the Easter Bunny left him some Easter Eggs already hatched! What a special treat! Not everybody is so lucky as to get colored chicks for Easter. How FUN is that?!

Easter Eggs:
This Easter for fun I purchased some "Easter Egg" baby chicks for the kids. They inject the eggs with food coloring about 2 days before they are due to hatch & they come out dyed all different colors. They were so adorable we couldn't say no. The kids named them all.
Jolee named her pink & purple baby chicks Pinkie Pie & Violet.
Logan named his yellow & orange fuzzy chicks Sunny & Orange Juice.
Ethan named his green & blue little chicks Green Marshmallow & Blueberry.
We tried to suggest names for Ethan's green chick such as... Kiwi, Lucky, Shamrock, Lime, & Apple. But all he could think of was how much he LOVES colored marshmallows!

My Happy Birthday*
Kylee and Mommy @ "Simon's"

Peter is such a wonderful husband! He surprised me for my 27th birthday by taking me to my favorite restaurant "Simon & Seaforts" I love the stuffed halibut there! It is to DIE for! We only go there for special occasions because it is quite spendy... worth it... but spendy! I look forward to going every year for our anniversary and any other time it just a TREAT! We had such a lovely time just the 2 of us (and baby Kylee of course) it was nice to have some alone time without all of the children in tow. Kylee is such a wonderful baby we enjoy her so much. She is so pleasant and such a happy girl. I had a wonderful birthday and look forward to being 27 ALL YEAR LONG! Tuesday, April 21, 2009
"Go FISH!"
The kids were having a blast playing "go fish", old maid, and "uno" @ Grammy and Grampy's house with Uncle Duran & Auntie Ashley. Some of my favorite memories of home are of us playing games together as a family. Now that I am grown and playing games with my own children I appreciate that time I have with them so much more. We are making our own memories now that they will be able to remember and look back on with such joy! I love being a Mommy and enjoy each and every little spirit that Heavenly Father has blessed us with. Thursday, April 9, 2009
we had a baby - it's a girl*
It is 3:09 pm and our little Baby Girl is finally here!
Being born sunny side up it took me 10 minutes to push her out!
Peter and I are so happy to finally meet our sweet little baby!
precious little hands
She looks like a baby Koala Bear
I am soooo tired and hungry right now - I really want a turkey sandwhich!
My Best Friend LizzieThe baby is getting all of the necessary bells and whistle's so that no one steals my baby.
Nurse Marla here at Providence "salon & spa" is giving the baby her first shampoo.
Logan, Ethan, & Jolee are unwrapping her so they can check out all of her tiny fingers and toes.
Logan is anxious to hold his little baby sister for the first time.Here is my brother Duran with his sweet little wife Ashley.

Tip Toe Through the Tulips
the Tulip Festival @ RoozenGaarde Skagit, WA
RoozenGaarde was so damp and wet that day. We were all really cold. It is funny to think that life long Alaskan's think that Washington in the drizzling springtime is FREEZING!
