Flower Power and More

This is a long post because of all the pictures but this is what we've been up to last couple of weeks.

My first flowers! Okay, so I know I had absolutely no part in the planting and growing but I have been looking at them fondly the last couple of months so I'm sure my positive vibes have enhanced their beauty!

Sisters!

We went to the zoo last week and Addy was very insistent on holding Sea's hand.

This Barney dress is from Addy's Grandma Bassett on one of her DI finds. Todd HATES it and calls it her polygamous dress! She puts it on everyday and this day she decided she was going to school.

We checked the backpack out from the library because there's a whole story with characters inside. Addy thought the backpack meant she was starting school!

Their cousin Dallin turned one last week. I caught Addy sitting on Uncle Dustin's lap and what do you know...she's diggin for gold! I'm sure she'll die in 12 years when I tell her I posted this!

Brynn loved Dallin's Jump-a-Roo

Wicked Fun!

I only have one word to say: AMAZING!
Okay, so I have more than one word to say :) It was so good! I have wanted to see Wicked for so long and seeing it today made me one happy girl. I only wish I could have been blessed with a broadway voice.
A big thank you to my aunt-in-law Sherri and her connections to get tickets a couple of weeks ago. They were great seats! It was nice to have a girls day with my sisters-in-law and mother-in-law. Good Times and Great Memories!

Spring is in the Air!

Oh, the glorious feeling of sunshine! We have been outside as much as possible soaking it up. The Easter Bunny brought Addy a kite and she was extremely eager to fly it. It hasn't helped that we checked out Mary Poppins (or as Addy says, "Mary Muffins," who knows?) and the song "Let's Go Fly a Kite" has taken on a whole new meaning. She loved flying the kite AND she even got to hold it all my herself. I was just waiting for it to fly away but she did a great job at holding on tight.

Our new favorite thing is our trampoline. Todd's cousins offered it to us because they were done with it, so we happily took it. It has served us with many hours of entertainment already. I love it. All I have to do is move my knees and it lays Addy out flat! I am VERY careful. I know they are a breeding ground for injuries

She learned it hurts to look directly at the sun. That's where Dad's sunglasses come in.

So high in the sky (It's shaped like a ladybug!)

Quality Time
This is the extent of Brynn's trampoline experience. Crawling across it.
We are out on it all times of the day. This is first thing in the morning in our pajamas.

She's getting pretty good at jumping high!

Todd never ceases to amaze me. I stopped the camera too soon because his next line was..."I've still got it"

Grandma's Here!

My Mama came to visit our family over Easter. It was so nice to have her here. The girls really enjoyed getting to know their Grandma from far, far away a little better. Grandma Bassett outdid herself once again at the annual Easter Party and everyone enjoy it. She always knows how to throw a party! Easter was nice of course, except Todd was got sick the night before so he had a rough day and I had to take my Mom to the airport...sad!

Time has gone by so fast the last couple of weeks. I feel like we haven't done all that much but somehow the days fly by. We are excited for the impending warm weather. Always appreciated in the Bassett house!

I forgot to add Easter Egg Dying Pictures in my slideshow...Addy had lots of fun

She took it very seriously.

The eggs got dyed more than once!

Jumpin Jacks

Yesterday we went with our friends the Tongis to Jumpin Jacks. It was SO FUN! The entire place is filled with giant slides and jumping inflatables. The slides are high, steep and fast. I highly recommend it for kids of any age. They even have a $3 coupon on their website if you go Mon-Thurs.

I finally got a picture of 'Aisea. He was running around the ENTIRE time!

He is such a great kid!

Craft Time

It has been a pretty quiet week. The snow has forced us inside once again so I have been thinking of new ways to fill the day.

Some of our crafts. Pom-Pom Girl, bead braclet, and Fruit Loop decorated napkin holders!

Every morning Addy and I look out the window to see the weather. We've been doing this for awhile but I finally made a poster with weather decals my MIL gave us! Addy gets to pick three words/pictures that describe the weather that day.

Brynn loves the tub. She always tries to crawl in the tub...that doesn't work so well! They are becoming such good friends. I love it!
