A Happy Easter

Pig nose fun!

One proud piggy!

The cutest piggy ever!

All dolled up with my new bling and purse from Grandma Annie!

"I'm gonna go to the store to buy fruit snacks and jello."

All I need are the car keys.

The Easter Bunny came and brought me some really cool grass!

Bubbles!

Easter is pretty fun!

More pig time!

Ooh, I found an egg!

Yep, I found another one, and it's all mine!

The best part is opening them... and finding a fruit snack!

The (empty) eggs go into the basket!

Another yummy fruit snack in this egg!

Yum, yum, yum!

Easter is AWESOME!

Daddy is so silly!

 I love him!

Model cousins.  Thanks, Great Uncle Greg, for my pretty dress, and thanks, Great Auntie Beth, for my pretty shoes!

Time for appetizers.

It was a good day!

It's a Girl!

We found out yesterday that our upcoming bundle is a girl!  Alli has been asking for a boy for the last couple of months, so at least she has some time to get used to the idea of having a little sister.  We couldn't be more excited!

I know I have been very sporadic lately about updating our blog, and I'm apologizing now because the inconsistency will most likely continue for the next month or so.  We are moving to Anacortes!  We decided several years ago that we would like to live up there, and a house just popped up that we had to have!  Closing is at the end of April, and we'll be moving sometime in May.  Mike will be transferring to Bellingham airport to make his commute much easier.  We have a very busy month ahead of us, and I will be much more consistent with the blog once we're settled, I promise.  :)

Oh, I can't wait to teach my little sister everything I know!

Yes, I dressed myself today.  Why do you ask?

One of my favorite books, Alice the Fairy.

Silly girl!

I am not always this calm.

A Growing Imagination... and Yard Work

Alli is developing quite an imagination.  The other day, she  put on a bracelet and announced, "I'm gonna go to the store and buy some milk!" and then headed to the garage.  Apparently the bracelet was more handy than her purse.  Yesterday, she took a bite of her toast at breakfast, looked at it, and excitedly said, "A seahorse!"  Yep, her toast then somewhat resembled her seahorse bath toy.  One of her latest favorite books is Cinderella.  She pulled it off of the shelf, pointed to Cinderella, and said, "Cinderella."  She then pointed to Prince Charming and said, "Daddy!"  Um... sure, Alli.  Oh, Mike definitely  liked that one!  Yep, she has a wild imagination!

Always loving the books.

 I must pick the very best orange before "opening" it.

Hey, do you think you could take a break with the camera because I really am stuck here!

 Hey, Julian, can I have some?

 Um... thanks?

 Did I just get Julian cooties?

 Just kidding!  I liked it!

 Julian, you're such a good helper!

Yesterday was such a productive day in the yard.  For once, the weather was warm and sunny!  While Mom and Dad weeded and pruned, Daddy put me to work picking up pinecones off of the grass.

 This is so easy!

 See ya, pinecone!

 Hmm... after the 50th pinecone, I might be getting a bit bored of this....

 Oh, what's one more?

Daddy said something about child labor, whatever that means.

I am such a good helper!

And a cute one, too!

In case you haven't heard...

...this shirt will be true around September 1st!!

I'm sorry we've been so behind on our blog.  Life has been pretty crazy around here, but we should be back to normal now (hopefully)!

I'm going to be a pretty cute big sister!

Practicing for my win at the Oscars.

Strike a pose.

I'm never going to lose these cheeks!

Don't worry, I wil always set a good example for my liitle brother or sister.  (Yes, we know that Mommy writes these captions.  She can dream all she wants.)

Didn't know I had a belly button, did you?

Watching Daddy mow the lawn.

Just too silly!
