My little girl loves bugs

I never thought I would see the day that Amy would be talking to Rollie Pollies like they were really listening. On Tuesday she had to take a family of Rollie Pollies to school for show and tell, She had a daddy, mommy, and two kids (one was a baby.) Last year she smashed all bugs and this year she is treating them like her new pets. She picks them up and lets them crawl all over her. She wants me to hold them and I tell her, "No thanks! Mommy doesn't hold bugs." She tells me, "But aren't they so cute." I am thinking no way! I am not a big fan of touching any type of bugs if I don't have to. I can't wait to see what Parker wants me to hold when he gets bigger.

Amy swinging

Amy has learned how to pump her legs when she swings. It is great because we don't have to push her anymore. She told us that she could do this all day. Sorry the video is a little long and noisy from the wind. I haven't learned how to edit videos yet.

Amy's spotlight

Amy was spotlighted at school today. She was so excited last night that she could not get to sleep. She kept asking when it would be tomorrow. She was able to share some pictures of when she was a baby and her family. It was really fun for her. They invite the parents to visit during the spotlight.

Monkey see, Monkey do!

Parker loves his sister and tries to copy everything she does. I thought this was so cute.

Parker outside

Parker is almost impossible to keep inside now that the weather is warmer. (I really don't think he even minds the cold. He just wants to be outside.) He is constantly trying to get outside. Luckily the stick in the door slows him down a little. He loves it outside. These are some pictures from my mom's house. He knows how to open the door all by himself and if Parker is missing we look outside and there he is. I think it happened at least 5 times the other day.

No fear!

This scares his mom to death! He thinks he is a big kid though.

Easter week

We had a great Easter this year. My sister and her kids came from Rexburg and stayed the whole week. We had a blast hanging out with them. I have lots of pictures of the kids individually, but non of them all together. Bummer! I guess what do expect with 3-4 year olds and 3 almost 2 year olds. Not the easiest to get a group picture of. My mom had Easter dinner and a Easter egg hunt for the kids. The kids had a lot of fun. We miss Holly's family and hope they move back here after school is finished. Amy really misses her cousin.

Parker did not want to sit still for the pictures. He wasn't even really interested in the Easter egg hunt. He grabbed the first egg he saw and pulled out the candy and went to play. The rest of the kids were picking up eggs while Parker was playing. Look, Parker's bucket is empty and Amy's is full. Parker has a candy wrapper in his hand.

Easter morning: Parker was kinda in a daze. He was happy to get a Lighting McQueen car though.

Amy was thrilled to get a Tinker Bell doll.

How am I going to find a boy?

Amy was laying in bed with me this morning and she said Mom I think I want to marry you. She has now told me, at different times, that she is going to marry her dad and her brother. I told her that girls marry boys, and not boys in her family. She said, "But Mom, how am I going to find a boy?" I told her she will when she gets bigger. She is very concerned that she won't be able to find a boy. I thought the whole conversation was very cute and she was serious.
