Spring has sprung

We have been keeping rather busy lately.  We've had company come to town the last few weekends and I enjoyed going to Logan for a few days to help my Aunt Lee with some projects.  Usually she is always helping me but it was nice to serve her for a changeWhile I was there I did enjoy leaving Lydia behind as I met my friend Staci and her two boys for baby animal days.  It was super crowded but not a problem at all.  We never had to wait in line and we were able to spend 3 hours there without ever getting bored.  It was a perfect way to kick off the Spring season and I loved taking Emma on an adventure all by herself.  She is such a good girl and helps me out so much and I know I need to be better at giving her more rewards.
 
These were just some random photos I took of Emma and her friends Katie who are in the same dance class.  Katie has been a life saver this winter since she lives just down the street.  On Tuesday their dance costumes came in so I let them wear them after dance class and I tried some new settings with my camera and photo shop.  I am clearly still learning.
These are the photos I took while staying in Logan with the Jensens.  The whole family is so good to play with and watch the girls for me.  While Lydia was in the tub/kitchen sink she had a little bowel movement.  I had the dry heaves so Lee and Jessica were good sports to "take care" of the situation.  Nope, I'm not pregnant or anything, I just have a strong gag reflex.
Lydia LOVES to pull herself up on to ANYTHING and everything.  This little window sill is just her size.  It was so cute/sad to see her watching the other kids play outside.  Some day Lydia, some day.
Meanwhile, back in Liberty, I am trying to let Emma have more play dates.  Addi came up for a whole afternoon and it was Heaven for me and her mom.  Margo (Grandma) gave Emma the cutest children's cook book for Easter and we have been trying some of the recipes.  The little banana catepillar is one that we have all enjoyed.  I also have been letting Emma take more photos of our family and so those ones of Lydia and I are some of Emma's most recent work.  We loved having Julie and her boyfriend come and stay with us for an extended Easter weekend and I can't thank her enough for how she spoils my kids and what a great aunt she is.
I don't know where the blasted spell check button is.  So please excuse my spelling errors :)
