Life...

Sometimes I get the feeling that my life is really boring. It takes all my energy just to take care of my little family, and then I feel like I don't have much to show for it. The days tend to blend together in one busy blur. I guess it's a good thing God gave us cameras to capture the moments amidst the madness :)

So, here are some fleeting glimpses of what we've been up to this spring. Kaiya is becoming quite the little lady slash social butterfly. She loves preschool and dance, and spends most of her days bossing poor Ben around. (He has only recently begun to protest.) Ben is such a boy; he loves playing with balls and trains and cars, throwing things around, and making noise. He remains the sweetest little guy in the world and is still very eager to please.

Here are some random shots of our activities...

a trip to City Creek Center (which really is all it's cracked up to be).


(I've since highlighted my hair and now I'm pretty sure Alicia and I have the exact same everything.)
a round of dress-ups with Isabel in which Ben was a surprisingly willing participant


Easter morning


all dressed up in new clothes for church Easter morning. How killer is Kaiya's dress, BTW??? I love everything about it.



our annual Easter egg hunt at the Walkers'. I totally forgot to bring my kids' baskets so Kaiya had a really classy garbage bag to collect her goodies in.


Ben was kind of in his own world...


as was Kaiya, once the eggs and treats were all found.

We spent Spring Break at my parents' house in Washington, where the kids had a blast playing with Matt's and Brett's old toys. (Umm, ya, these are really the only pictures I have of the whole trip.)


These last ones are from this morning. Ben and Kaiya were so cute in their bubble bath, I couldn't not document it.

And yes, Ben does have a bit of a black eye and a puffy top lip. The poor guy seems to have inherited his dad's energy but his mom's coordination.

So concludes the longest blog post in history. I'm impressed if anybody is still reading :)
