Looking back, April was one of my favorite months of the year so far. :) With Conference, Easter, Birthdays, and Family visits it was FULL of some of my favorite things.
Primary Talent Show
We had a primary talent show and Nani practiced her tahitian number from 2009 to perform for the talent show. Every time she practiced, her little sister was right by her side. It was only natural that Samara followed her onto the stage when it was time to perform!
Nani demonstrated 2 talents that day. Tahitian dancing, and being a GREAT big sister. She shared her spotlight, and her pretty headband with Samara without any grownup asking her to. And you can see from the picture that Mela really looks up to her big sis and wants to be just like her.
Conference, Easter, and a visit from Papa, Grammy, and the Olsingchs
Happy Micheal
Everybody loves Papa!
Old roomies reunited... Carrie, Siona and I all lived together when we went to BYUH... fun times!
Cute cousins playing doll house together.
5 dozen eggs + 9 happy children + 7 cups of colorful dye = Good times!
Any dye left for the eggs, Samara?
Dying eggs was not our only artistic adventure of the week... All the children participated in a coloring contest held by Build-a-Bear and came up with some beautiful pictures! Kaela's picture took 1st place in her age group and she won a cool basket full of Candy, and a $25.00 gift certificate! Upon winning her response was... "I will share!" What a sweet little 6 year old!
Easter bubble blowing with a new friend... Briana's little boy Owen.
Tino turns 33!
Tino is such a great man, husband, father, and therapist. It seems, like so many other things, he just gets better with age. All of his girls love him so much!
Tino and I got to go out for his birthday to Sushi Ya... a yummy sushi place here in Utah. He also got to pick out new shoes!
Kea gets cut... twice!
4 stitches for a finger that got caught in the car door....
...and 10 inches of tangly hair! Her sassy new do is very cute on her, and we both love the quick brushing in the morning! No more tears!

OUch Kea! That finger looks painful. The hair cut looks so cute though! What a fun month. THe only thing that would have made it better would be is if I came! :) Love and miss you!
Fun post Katie Jo! I love Nani and Samara dancing. Proud mommy moment I am sure. And, I LOVE Kea's new haircut, but not her finger cut.
