February

Here is an update on the kiddos, Annabelle has been playing basketball and has improved a lot. She had a blast and says she wants to play next time, but she wants Daddy to be her coach. Lily wished she could play with her. We went to the aquarium on a day off and got to feed the birds, the girls absolutely loved it. Annabelle was the bravest and didn't even flinch when they first flew onto her arm. The other two had to warm up a bit first. Our crazy monkeys love jumping on the bed!

Happy Easter!

Well really this is Happy New Year all the way through Happy Easter! LIFE...IS...CRAZY! 

Annabelle started the year off with a bang turning 6 years old! She wanted a cow girl party, so here is her horse cupcake/ cake. She is so animated, she has so many ideas, will be the best baby sitter someday-because she is so fun to be with, is starting to get pretty sassy, definitely has a mind of her own, and loves new things. Love you sis!

Exciting news, we got a horse! His name is Indie, the girls love riding him!

This is Papa Richmond taking us out to Big Jud's on the way to pick up Indie, the girls eyes were so big when they saw it!

Girls love going for a ride in the carriage.

We have been living a little chaotically lately. We sold our house in 4 days, so we moved into Brock’s Grandparents house that was vacant and about to be put for sale. Luckily we found a house to fix up. I feel like a good metaphor for this house is that it’s like an iceberg. When we went to look at it, it seemed like we would need to do quite a bit to fix it up. However, once we started, it became a much bigger project. It was just so DIRTY!! It’s coming along. We are hoping to have a texture guy there on Tuesday. Once he’s done we can paint and put wood flooring down, carpet guy comes, and then trim. The girls are so excited! They want their room painted teal. I was going to decorate their room all shabby chic, but then I thought, they grow up so fast, why not do something really little girly. So I asked them what they wanted, My Little Pony! So I’m going to do a mixture, hopefully it turns out cute, but I’m sure they will love it. Annabelle and Lily both have been working doing chores to be able to buy themselves each a stuffed animal. Annabelle wants Princess Celestia and Lily wants Fluttershy, both are ponies from My Little Pony. Brock is super excited, last night beneath the stairs he framed in a little play space for their kitchen, they are going to be so excited! I can't wait to be able to unpack and to actually know where everything is, right now its spread between four different places. 

We went on a family trip to St George recently with Brock's parents and my brother and his family. It was so nice to have hot weather and warm water for boating! The water felt good instead of freezing! The girls loved playing on the sandy beach, they could’ve played there every day all day. They loved playing with water barbies that grammy got for the trip. They were all brave and did surfing with Daddy and tubing. Brock is so good at surfing he can start from the boat, ride, then keep them above water as he slowly sinks into the water. It’s amazing and they loved it! These girls are crazy, and they love each other. Annabelle is especially good with little kids. She loves to play with them and make them laugh. She adores Charlotte and watches over her. She was the first person to make Charlotte laugh, and now every day she enjoys making her smile and laugh. Brock and I got to eat at the coolest restaurant on the cliff. It was a perfect night to eat outside with great food.
