Easter 2016

Our Easter celebrations started with an Easter egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa Pfost's house

And then we went for a drive and stopped to feed the fish.

Thanks Grandpa for this cute photo!

Easter morning. 

A few days later I overheard Maddison whispering to Sage who was lying on the floor: "I miss you. You died but don't worry. You will live again. You will be resurrected." I guess she was paying attention to our Family Home Evening lesson.

All aboard the animal train!

Spring Cravings

If I leave the pantry door open for even a second, this little one is on the search for a snack. So today we decided we needed some spring sugar cookies to satisfy all of our snacky cravings.

Sage was obviously a fan.

Maddison loved decorating her cookies which ended up one part cookie, one part frosting, one part sprinkles. The perfect ratio. 

...and this happened, a lot. 

Here are some of our creations. 

Playing with cousins!

We got to play with cousins last weekend. Yeah! We loved having Pizza with the Pope's! Thanks for letting us come over!

Playing really wore Sage out.

These girls went crazy over the rides and super crazy over spending time with each other. 

Telling secrets. 

We also enjoyed some time with Grandma and Grandpa Pope. What a great weekend!

St. Patrick's Day!

We started off the morning with green pancakes. Sage thought they were pretty fun.

 A leprechaun left some gold chocolate coins in our house and the girls were super excited to find them.

 I could finally put Sage's hair in a pony tail so I guess that meant it was time to cut it.

Well, it was getting pretty mop-ish, which wasn't so bad except....

 More often than not it looked a little like this.

 Maddison needed a trim too. She was very serious the whole time.

 Sage waited patiently for her turn.

 I was totally nervous that Sage would not cooperate. I had a bag of distractions and I didn't have to use any of them. I have never seen her sit so still for so long. She was perfect the whole time!

 Maddie's turn to wait.

 Sage goofing off.

 Almost done.

 It didn't end up exactly how I had envisioned in my head but haircuts never do. At least it is a little more tidy.

Cheep Cheep

I thought Maddison's Easter chick was pretty good. 

Leap Day.

To celebrate Leap Day we took the girls to a trampoline park so they could leap their little hearts out! They were usually moving way to fast for me to get a photo but I was able to snap a few of the girls in the foam pit.

Dinos!

Museum of Idaho's Dinosaur exhibit.

Maddie loved pretending to be a mother dino taking careful care of her eggs. Actually, she liked to throw the eggs around like balls. 

Digging for fossils. 

Honorary paleontologist. Maddison got to help clean a real dinosaur bone.  

Sitting in an egg chair reading about dinosaurs. 

And in other parts of the museum....Sage found a baby to take care of. 

Farm chores. 

Churning butter. 

We had such a fun time, the girls didn't want to leave. 

Hide and Seek

Sage loves to hide behind Steve's clothes in the closet. She thinks it is so funny! If I can't find her, this is usually where she is. 

Valentines for the little ones.

Some girls' Dad loves them a whole lot. Mom got some roses too.
