Cathy's School for Lil' Fish

My friend Cathy has a swim school that is amazing. It is called Cathy's School for Lil' Fish. We have gone there for two summers now and my kids are really getting better in the swimming area. Megan has always been terrified of water and at the end of last summer she was swimming the width of the pool! I tried working with her on my own and she wouldn't listen to me but Cathy got her to do great things! With the weather warming up we are looking forward to more time in the pool! See you soon Cathy...

Easter

We had a great Easter. Not only did we have a fun easter egg hunt but we also got to watch General Conference. The perfect weekend! The kids let us sleep until 8:00 and then we had fun watching them find the easter eggs. We had a yummy breakfast and then watched conference. A few days before Easter I was talking to Graydon and saying that I was really tired and just didn't feel like making my traditional meal of ham and scallop potatoes and so he suggested that I do something simple. The kids wanted 8 layer salad, which is super easy to make, and I was happy to make it. It was so nice just doing our own thing. I hope everyone had a great Easter!

They are so patient when I want to take pictures

Sorting out the eggs

Should they be eating something that holds its shape like this?

The Easter Bunny decided that since the kids were getting older the hunt was going to get harder!

Going Going Gone...

All I have to say is what happened to my baby's hair?! All my kids lose some of their hair but Caitlyn is the first one who has lost it all. She is a little cue ball. I love it! We figured since she was losing so much of it that we had to deal with the awful cradle cap that she had so, after talking to a ton of people about what to do, we "basted" her head is olive oil and, after a lot of work, we got rid of it! With the cradle cap went the rest of her hair. Now she just has peach fuzz and I smile everytime I look at her.

Cindy Lou Who

A few weeks ago it was Dr. Seuss week at school. On one of the days they were supposed to dress up like their favorite Dr. Seuss character. Neither kid said anything about it so I figured that they weren't going to dress up. The night before dress up day Megan says, "Mom I have to dress up like my favorite character!" This is right before we put her to bed. I suggested Cindy Lou because that is the first one that came to mind. I searched for pictures and I found the picture from the book. I figured that was simple enough and this is what I came up with...

She's cute isn't she?! But I'm not biased! :)
