April 2013

At the beginning of April, over Spring Break, Pat went to Washington, DC for a trip through work. So that left the rest of us home all week, and because I was newly pregnant and exhausted, we didn't do much. But we did go swimming with Karri, Lisa and the kids. But I can't find those pictures anywhere :(

 

Here is a picture that we sent to Dad to say that we missed him. 

 

We went out for Ice Cream Cones too. 

 

A rare moment: When Xander is actually happy about Jaina being in his room. At least this time she was 'playing' video games with him. 

 

I had my first doctors appointment on April 8th

(about 8 weeks along) 

 

April 11th: Mara turned 7!!!!

Grandma & Grandpa Tolman came down to the house with her present. 

 

 

It was a new jewelry/music box!!! 

 

 

Then she opened our presents. 

 

I made her a new blanket for her bed, and had vintage Little Mermaid sheets to go with it. 

 

We went to Nickel Mania (which seems to be the kids favorite place to go) with Addi for Mara's birthday. 

 

Mara with her new bedding!  Her blanket is reversible with Cinderella on the back. 

 

She was SO excited to get a BIG Lego Friends set and happy to put it together by herself. 

 

The next Sunday we celebrated birthdays at Mana's. 

 

She got Barbie and the Pink Shoes from JD & Chris.

 

New Build-a-bear clothes from Karri. Along with a Build a Bear Pinkie Pie My Little Pony that they made together. 

 

Got to celebrate with Sawyer and Mana!! 

 

Her new outfit from Mana. 

 

Mara and Pinkie Pie. 

I'm glad that she keeps her animals safe too. 

 

A fun moment when Jaina wanted to snuggle and we were taking fun pictures.
