We have been off track-off for the last couple of weeks, so we have had some fun outings and fun times just being together. I have not done very well in the camera department...but I always have my phone with me, so that is where my pics are from in this post!  

We headed to the Butterfly Pavilion last week.  We have a membership that we got last year as a Groupon.  So, besides the gas it costs me to go there...a pretty reasonable outing for us!

Hope spent a few days with us during her Spring Break. The day we went to the Butterfly Pavilion it was her birthday! She got to hold Rosie! Kaylee thought that was pretty cool....but bummed that she couldn't hold Rosie herself!

Mallory had fun and enjoyed the cages that were at her eye level.

Emma just loves her cousin Hope!

This is where Mallory hung out for quite awhile. She WOULD NOT let any one use the stool!

Kaylee trying to catch butterflies!

Look how close they got to Emma...she was a bit worried!

I had two butterflies land on me...the girls thought this was pretty neat.  They stayed on my hand and arm for quite awhile.

Kaylee got up close and personal with a butterfly.  She just stared and stared until it finally flew away.

After seeing butterflies we headed to Tokyo Joes for lunch...yum one of our favorites.  Nana and Grandpa Buck met us there as well.

The girls do amazing with chopsticks.

What a great day we had!

My Big Girl!

Here are some funny pics of Miss Emma. Usually she WILL NOT pose for me, but for some reason she wanted to pose this day! She is getting to be such a "girl" no longer my baby!!! (I have been using my camera phone again so sorry about the slightly foggy pics)

Our Life

It has been awhile so for my few loyal readers....I thought it was time for some new pics of my cuties.  We haven't been doing too much. The girls were all sick with colds and then gave it to me. NOT FUN! I was out of school for 2 days. I haven't felt that sick in a very long time. I still am not 100%, but I can at least say I am not dying!

We'll start with some close-ups....

I know I have said it before....but Kaylee is our accessory girl! See her bling?  For the past couple of weeks she has had to wear a necklace and two bracelets to school...every day!!!

So Valentine's Day was awhile ago, but I never posted about it. We got three cute cards that the girls made at daycare/school!

This is the one from Kaylee

This is the one from Emma

See how she tried to write her name???

And one from Mallory

Josh and I got the girls a little heart basket with a few goodies.

Both Emma and Kaylee had Valentine parties so the had to prepare their Valentines. They had fun. I had them "write" (or color....) on every one! Emma was able to fold them and put them in the envelopes. Of course they were princess valentines!

 Look at how she is working....so focused!

Then we got a HUGE snowstorm....which meant snow day for us!!! Luckily Josh was here with us to take care of the snow in the driveway because there was no way we were going anywhere if he didn't. I do not know how to use the tractor so I am glad he was here! Here is one snow mound.

 Here is our front gate and yard from the drive way.

We did play  some though! Emma loves to be outside...even when it is cold.  Josh got the snowmobile out and hooked the tube to the back and took us for rides! 

Snow Angels!!!

We also had a couple of  birthday parties to attend! First up was Rose's first birthday. The balloons are always a big hit!

Kaylee enjoyed hanging out at the sliding glass door watching the dogs.

Baby Rose!!! Isn't she a cutie! I think she looks like Mallory (or at least resembles...you can tell they are related right?)

Then we headed to Sammy's first birthday.  Again...the girls LOVED the balloons!

I liked this one of my Emma!  

Kaylee loves balloons so much...this is how she went to bed that night.  It is tied to her wrist and she DID NOT want to take it off!

Sadly....we had to miss Jackson't first birthday party. I am sad about that! The girls were sick and I was as well and getting worse by the moment....so I am glad we didn't go infect everyone....but upset that we had to miss it.  Happy 1st Birthday Jackson!!!!
