Vegas Baby!

 about a month ago (yes, it has been a little while) my whole family surprised my mom in las vegas for her birthday. 

it was awesome!

we don't all get together very often, so we made the most of it: lots of food, water show at the bellagio, lots of time playing with cousins, and an afternoon visiting lake mead.

 june loved the water. . .

and lizzy loved the accessories of playing in the water.

 we had the official birthday party for my mom at the park. cake, swings, and a pinata. what else could you ask for?

 happy birthday mom!

Easter

We took over 200 pictures of Easter this year (!) so I had to greatly narrow it down. I'm not putting up pictures of dying eggs, or hunting eggs, or even eating chocolate eggs.

Instead, just the girls in their pretty dresses.

June's a good sport, but still not sure about grass.

(Notice the toes.)

Happy Easter.

Spring Has Sprung

At least we hope it's spring. . .

June got to experience grass. . . even if it was still brown and crunchy.

Lizzy rediscovered short sleeves, sandals, and pigtails.

And June tried to figure out what leaves were.

(No, she wasn't actually allowed to eat them.)
