Springtime fun

Much to the girls delight... cousin Ame came home from her mission and stayed with us for a few months.  She is the sweetest, and the girls just LOVE her.  They play, laugh, dance, cuddle, and just be plain silly at times. 

Our family participated in the Ward Talent Show this year.  Tino played the uke, Ame sang and the 3 girls and I danced a little dance.  It was a lot of fun... and they were 'oh so cute'.

I turned 31 this year and celebrated with a 'mini-party' at home.  We had cake, and played games I remembered playing at parties when I grew up (pin the tail on the donkey, freeze dance, and dropping clothes pins into a jar)  The girls LOVED it and I learned that you don't have to spend a lot of money to have a good time.  :)  Ame, Nani, Kea, and Samara also picked out and dressed a build a bear for me named Katie-bear.  It was a fun day.  
Easter was a lot of fun this year.  The girls participated in the coloring contest at build-a-bear, and although there were no big wins, we had a lot of fun doing our best.

We went to the petting zoo held at the park and enjoyed all of the little critters.  If my children inherited anything from me, it is my love of animals. 
Kea's preschool held an Easter fair for the children complete with food, games, bouncy houses and prizes... all for free!
It's not easter until the eggs are colored!!!


Easter Sunday, and the girls were all pretty in their dresses. (Samara was being a little bugga and was actually crying up to the second before this pic... hence the grimace-smile)
