hat money she wanted to do something she would always have. We pierced her ears! She did so awsome, she didn't even think it hurt! She picked out cute little pink flowers and they look so cute on her. Afterwards, she bought some puppy earings that she'll be able to wear in a few months. You can't see them very well in the pictures but they are adorable!
Me and my baby. I love snuggle time!
This is one of my favorite, favorite things about babies. I wait for this exact picture of that toe making it all the way into the mouth. Love it!
I love this picture of Justin with all the kids. I love my family!
And, of course, I love sleeping babies. They look so perfect!
So, here is the traditional egg decorating event. The kids love this part of Easter. They got safari stickers to put all over them once they were finished and put the eggs in little animal paper egg holders.
The finished product!
Instead of the traditional ham dinner for Easter, we had a Jerusalem Dinner ( the kids call it Jesus dinner to make it easier). We ate what Jesus might have eaten when he was on the earth. We had lentil soup, flat bread with hummus, a variety of dried fruit, and grape juice. We ate on pillows around the coffee table by candlelight and turned off all the lights. The kids got a big kick out of it and Justin and I think that this will definitly be a tradition we will keep!
decided to do something different this year for Easter. Instead of celebrating the holiday for just one day, we did it throughout the week! I wanted our kids to understand the real reason why we celebrate Easter is Christ's ressurection but I wanted to make it fun just like the commercial side to Easter is fun. So, each night that we could we did something different to help our kids learn the Easter story. Sometimes it was just reading scriptures or telling a story, and a few times we would play a game centered around the scriptural Easter story. I do believe we were successful, mostly. But on saturday, we started the day with Easter baskets that the Easter Bunny had hid in the house. Once the kids found those and devoured a good portion of ther candy, off to Sprouts we went (a grocery store for those readers who are not from Arizona). The kids got to participate in an Egg Hunt and meet the Easter Bunny himself (he does have ears, they just fell over on his head. I wanted to fix it so bad)! 
Okay, so Justin looked all over the internet on what to do about those bees. We didn't want to kill them all since I guess there's a big bee shortage in a lot of states so we thought maybe we could find a beekeeper to come get them or get them to go away ourselves. Justin read somewhere that bees hate moth balls so he went to Home Depot and got a ton. And by a ton, I mean a TON! He put them just underneath the beehive friday night. Saturday afternoon a friend came by our house to pick up something and I showed him the bees. They were all still there working away. Not ten minutes later, Justin called to me and said they were all gone! Wish I had been outside to see that! How cool would that video have been to watch the whole sworm fly away! Guess they found another home somewhere else and this is what was left behind. To put it in prospective, the biggest one is about the size of my hand and that ball of bees was nearly twice the size of my head! There were maybe over a thousand plus bess out there! Anyway, I house now smells like mothboths, but at least we're all safe!
So, this afternoon, after our fun haircuts, I took the kids outside for a short walk. As we were coming up towards our house I saw. . . THIS! That's right! Hundreds and hundreds of BEES! I don't know when they had built this, but it's right above our front window! HOLY COW! We were just out there this morning playing with sidewalk chalk and I never saw a single bee. Now we're infested! Ever see the movie Killer Bees. Yeah! That's exactly what I was thinking! Aaaaaaaaaa!!! 
I decided to try a new hairstyle, and thanks to my good friend Becki, I love it! It's very simple and quick, easy fix and still long enough to wear curly and pull back into a pony. Since I was getting my hair cut, Rylee decided she wanted hers like mommy's. You'll notice the lack of spirals in her hair. Becki flat-ironed it and gave her the same haircut as mine. Isn't it adorable! Now we're trying to train her bangs to swoop to the side, hence the barrette in her hair. What a cute pair! Thanks a ton, Becki! You did awsome!
