CONGRATS JARED AND LEANN

JARED AND LEANN HAD THEIR LITTLE BABY GIRL AYDRI BARNES ON SATURDAY APRIL 18,2009 IT WAS SO FUN TO BE ABLE TO GO SEE HER REAL QUICK AT THE HOSPITAL! HOPE AND HALLE LOVED BEING ABLE TO WATCH THROUGH THE NURSERY WINDOW WITH KENDI. I GOT SOME GREAT PICTURES AND VIDEO RECORDING FOR YOU GUYS. WE WILL HAVE TO PUT IT ON A DVD FOR YOU! KENDI'S REACTION WAS PRICELESS TO SEEING HER DADDY IN THE HALLWAY AND HER BABY SISTER IN THE NURSERY WINDOW! I WAS SO GRATEFUL OUR FAMILY WAS ABLE TO BE PART!






KENDI SAID AS SHE CAME OUT AFTER SEEING HER BABY SISTER FOR THE FIRST TIME "SHE HAD TINY TOES, SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANY CLOTHES!" IT WAS REALLY CUTE.

EASTER SUNDAY

We had to take some pictures of the girls in their Easter Sunday dresses and also my family was going to be leaving a little later on in the afternoon and we wanted to capture the moments!

Their a little zoned in these pictures, i guess it's because it's a little too early in the morning and their not all the way awake yet, but i have to agree it's a little to early to be taking pictures! We wanted to get somewhat of a snapshot before going to church, though.






After church we took some more pictures in the front yard.






So, Sunday after my family left we were able to go spend the rest of Easter day with the Justin's family.

Justin's Mom Jocelyn likes to also do a little Easter egg hunt for the girls, but these are not your regular candy filled eggs, these are eggs that have numbers in them that after the hunt your prize awaits you in Grandma's Easter basket.

I love this picture, it speaks a thousand words of how Hope and Halle are with Haven. Halle being the toucher that she is, showing her affection by patting Haven on the back. Then Hope being Motherly trying to keep Haven occupied with a Easter Egg so they both can listen!


Look how excited Hope is... her big eyes and that smile tell it all!

EASTER TIME...

My family came to visit for Easter this year, Hope and Halle had tons of fun being with them! We did many activities including, a Easter egg hunt with the Warby's at the Parowan house, dyeing easter eggs and Kaylin's little birthday party! Also, we spent a lot of time just cooking and being together getting ready for Easter which was the funniest of them all! Here are some pictures of our fun activities...

A little bike ride with Grandpa... Lanny's first on the scooter, then Hope, Kaylin, Halle and Grandpa pushing Haven backwards, because she was congested and the wind wasn't helping!

Showing Daddy all their great finds.


This was Haven's first Easter and we let her pick up an egg... and she was so excited to grab it and show it to Daddy!


Checking out all their candy once we got home... which Hope decided to line hers up in rows and for some reason she had way too many whoppers... i think the number was around 50!




Halle doing what she loves to do best... snuggling/laying on Jordy!


Not in a hurry to go anywhere.

Kaylin's 9th birthday was the 12th which happened to land straight on Easter Sunday, so we decided to celebrate the night before, she had a butterfly/flower themed birthday party. I got a cute idea from a little birthday party Hope just went to for her friend Kambria, you bake cake inside a ice cream cone and then after frosted you stick candy with toothpicks on top, which is suppose to look like flowers in a flowerpot. I'm not sure it exactly turned out the way my Mom and I wanted it to, but the kids sure had fun helping with it all!
