April 2012 Pt 3

My mom's Birthday is in April so we all went out to Mimi's Cafe for breakfast. We chose to get a sitter to enjoy the meal more :)
 
 
A rare moment when all 3 kids are enthralled with a movie and sitting quietly. 
 
I had bought a bunch of fabric to make skirts for Mara & Jaina and ended up having a lot left over, so I made a dress for Mara's new Build-A-Bear Zuma.  Mara was in heaven that they matched. 
 
Mara and I were able to go with my mom and sister to Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival. It was so fun to see all the pretty flowers. It made me excited to have my own flower garden.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Xander started playing Coach Pitch Baseball. He was on the Nationals team!
This was their first practice. 
 
I FINALLY finished my quilt!  I hand quilted it too! From start to finish it took 9 months! 
 
 
 
Xander decided that he wanted to get out the Geo Trax! We finally have a room big enough to make a HUGE track! 
 
We discovered that we had a Lilac bush. They are my favorite, but it was too big, had minimal blossoms, and didn't bloom for very long. So we have since removed it. But I plan on buying some more bushes this spring.

April 2012 Pt 2 - Mara's Birthday

We celebrated Mara's birthday on Easter with my family.
Karri made her a Rapunzel cake!!!
 
She got a lot of fun presents!

Mara's birthday was during Spring Break from school so the day before we went to the new City Creek shopping center in Salt Lake with family. 
 
 
 
We stopped in at the new Disney Store and got a magical birthday wish for Mara! 
 
 
We were about to take a picture when the fountain turned on and got all the kids! 
 
 
We went into the Salt Lake Temple visitors center.
I love this pic!

Best buddies: Grandpa and Jaina. 
 
We even went to the top of the Church Office Building. 
 
The view is AMAZING! 
 
Mara's birthday finally arrived. Conli slept over the night before 
 
Me, Mara, Conli and Karri went bowling for Mara's birthday. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The best thing about Mara's birthday was the addition to our family. 
We welcome you Zuma Bunny!!
