a belated st. pat's day.

the leprechaun was up to no go at our house this year!  he sent us on a scavenger hunt to file our pot of gold.  he also did some crazy things around the house like turn the toilet bowl water green, drew pictures on the mirror and sink, he put chairs on top of tables, stacked pillows on each other, he turned the milk green, and he turned things upside down.  it was a mess!  

the kids were shocked when they found green marks on their hands in the morning...the leprechaun must have gotten close!!

our yummy cinnamon roll breakfast.

easter.

easter came early for me this year.  the kids enjoyed the annual hoa egg hunt at the park.  it was pure madness!  mabel and elsie definitely made out better than connor, thanks to the roped off "little kid" area.  mabel was very sweet and shared her loot with connor.  elsie was really into this year and loved finding treats, it was so fun!  

waiting patiently, ready to hunt.

after the hoa hunt.

elsie wearing mabel's super spy easter glasses she made at preschool.

the easter bunny brought swimsuits along with a few dolls, pencil sharpeners, candy and cars 2 cars.

trying to get an shot of the easter clothes was near impossible this year.  this is what we got...

elsie's smile cracks me up.  she pulls funny faces when you ask her to smile.

i love this one.  elsie's face is so cute and i love how she's holding on the mabel's skirt.  these skirts are doing double duty this year...easter skirts and skirts for kayla and bryce's june wedding!!

windy mesquite.

a few weeks ago we went down to mesquite for spring break.  

we golfed, flew kites, had crazy cafe, played at the playground, had a marshmallow fight, ate lots of treats, had sleepovers, played baseball, went on walks, drove rc cars, watched movies, played foosball, flew rc helicopters, put in a doggy-door at gpa jaxon-penny's, shopped in vegas, golfball hunted, played games and watched conference.  

it was a great get-a-way!!

one of the favorite things to do was to watch the workers get the hole ready each morning.  they especially liked when they change the hole position.  very exciting!  all of the kids were out there at one point, but by the time i got my camera, some had moved.

at the park one night.  it was pretty windy that night.
