April Flowers THEN May showers?

Of course we started off the month with an easter egg hunt!
Weekend trip to Venice Beach
Since we were close and it was a bit cold to stay very long at the beach we went to American Girl Place. Ellia really liked it, especially the displays with tiny food! When we got to the bitty baby display and she saw "her" twin she got really worried that it was HER actual doll.


A new tradition of ours, big breakfast on a sheet for the morning conference session.

Trying to be little.

Awesome! Jer and I finally got around to building shelves in our garage. SO NICE!



STILL trying to be little by putting on Ashlyn's clothes!







One morning I checked on Ellia and she had these bunnies set up for a photo shoot!


Ashlyn's Easter present.


She looks so silly in this because she won't leave her arms out.



Have you ever seen such a sassy gardener?



Ah, the California poppies! What a sight.














Darn sun.


We were fortunate enough to have some visitors this month too! Emily and Jed brought there family down for a few days and we went to some local places, like this petting zoo, and then Six Flags which Ellia now calls the 'Monsty Park' Monsty being monsters....she is really into monsters vs aliens and monsters inc right now.





Jeremy was able to go on a trek with the stake to replicate the trip the mormon hand cart companies made. Now he says if our girls are bratty teenagers we are going on a week long trek with them!







Baby play date!







Always the nice older sister (well almost always!)
