Kiss the Cook!

While Brilynn was off track for 3 weeks, she took the reines of being the lunch lady.  She loved it...and so did I.  Oh, and we can't forget the cute apron that she wore everytime.  Thanks Grandma Batty for such a much needed kitchen accessory!!!

Hello Cursive

Brilynn brought this paper home yesterday and I must admit...I was pretty IMPRESSED.  I thought it was really good.  John and I both agreed that we don't know if our cursive is that good.  I even questioned her when she showed it to me whether she had done that or the teacher.  Her response was, "Of course it was me, who else has that good of handwriting."  hahaha

Happy Birthday...You're 3

We had quite a busy day for the twins birthday.  Saturday morning I was busy with the Stake Primary Activity Days activity.  As The girls loved the rides, but the place was extremely busy and a little crazy.  There was a Kneaders bakery across the street so we all picked out a favorite dessert and indulged in an afternoon snack.  On our way home we stopped by boondocks and let the girls play in the jungle gym and played the arcade games.  By this time we were all hungry so we went to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Cracker Barrell.                                          

 Once we got home it was late but we still hadn't opened gifts or had cake and icecream.  The girls quickly got in the tub and then it was time to continue the celebration.  A funny story about this cake:)  The activity day girls were doing a fund raiser back in the fall.  I purchased a cake for Maycie's birthday, but when her birthday rolled around I totally forgot and we were headed to Vernal when they tried to deliever it.  When we got home, I picked up the cake from my friend Alisa's house and stuck the cake in the freezer since we still had cake leftover from her birthday.  So the morning of the twins birthday I pulled it out of the freezer, chipped of the "Maycie" and WOLLAAA  the twins had a birthday cake!!!

When we asked the twins what the wanted for their birthday this year, the only thing they ever said was "Princess Dammies" So the Stokers completely spoiled the twins with a princess swim/beach bag, a princess beach towel, princess sandals, and a princess swimsuit, 

 Princess Jammies from their sisters

 And princess bikes from Grandma and Grandpa Batty. 

 Here's a link to a funny video of them riding their "bikes"
Preslee and Payge Princess Bikes

 Everything they got this year was princess. 

 By time we finished opening gifts it was too late for cake and ice cream.  We saved that for the next evening.  The cake was amazingly delicious and was enjoyed by ALL!!!

Happy Birthday Preslee and Payge!!!

St. George

We went to St. George last weekend to visit our friends, the Garner's.  The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed a very relaxing weekend.  Saturday morning the guys went golfing while the girls took the kids swimming.  Afterwards the guys took their turn of taking the kids while the girls went shopping.  Once we got home the guys went to the Prienthood session.  We then left the kids with a baby sitter while the adults spent the evening at Anasazi Grill.  Rachel is raising some baby chicks and the girls loved them.  They don't understand why we don't have any!!!

 The chick was about to escape.  Brilynn was trying not to freak out.  Brilynn and Addaline are 2 peas in a pod.  Their personalities are identical and are pretty funny when they are together. 

 Andrew and Payge are only a few months a part but he is much bigger.  It's hard to remember that he is only 3 years old because he looks like he is atelast 4 or could be 5. 

 The kids made a fort on Sunday during conference.  It was the forte of all fortes!!!!

Thanks Garner's for letting us spend the weekend with you.  We look forward to the next time we get together.
