Out of Order

So, when I finally got the pictures to load, blogger loaded them so that the more recent pictures are first and the older ones are last . . . Enjoy looking from the present to the past:


We have dubbed Esther, Queen Esther :-) Lily still loves putting this toy on the heads of her younger siblings.

Lily had her Kindergarten choir concert. It was only 20 minutes long, but so worth hearing those little voices singing as loud as the could to the tune of their favorite song they learned during music class.

To celebrate St. Patrick's day, we headed over to Shorty's Garden Center and got to enjoy getting lots of free stuff :-)

After Shorty's, we went on a hike at the local fish hatchery where Scott did his Eagle Scout project.

 We celebrated my 29th birthday. Scott made me angel food cake and got me some needed gifts :-)

Esther takes 2 good naps and then cat naps the rest of the evening until bedtime . . . this was taken during one of those cat naps. She wore herself out while playing with her toys.

 HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!! Our little Leprechaun, Jack McClarney, made his self known this year . . . drew on the sliding glass door, picked out all the green M & M's to make a green rainbow on the counter, left a mess of plastic bags on the kitchen floor, and left his mark are the toilet :-)

In other news . . . make sure the flour on top of the fridge is always pushed away from the doors to the fridge or this will happen (Sorry, hunny!! My bad!!):

We have many photos of these two together. Maggie loves her little sister Esther.

Back in February, we had a cold spell, and our house doesn't hold heat very well. So, this is how we stayed warm :-)

It did finally snow. It was Maggie's first true snowfall and she loved it!!

Esther stayed inside on her throne, to keep warm.

I never knew how much fun a bag of wood sticks would be to a 2 year old. We especially like using them to make shapes and dancing circles. 

 Grandma S made our Valentine cookies!! Yummy!!! Thank you!! Happy Valentine's day!! We went up to my sister's house to celebrate and enjoy the President's weekend.

 We had a blast with my sister, parents, and cousins. My nephew Chris loved Esther and it was so fun seeing him hold her and being so gentle with her . . . definitely touched my heart.

 We went roller skating, too!!

 Love my big sister!!!

 Maggie still talks about going roller skating.

Sorry, it's not rotated . . . I rotated it before it loaded, but here it is . . . My sister with Esther, I loved this too :-)

More family getting to meet Esther for the first time:

My big brothers Ian, David Jr (not pictured) and Sis-in-Law Suzanne.

 More cute pictures:

 Lily and Maggie, built block buildings around Esther to "play" with her.

 Tummy time:

 In early January, we went bowling with Scott's parents and brother Brett.

And, went to Dizzy castle with our good friends the Lee's who we met in South Carolina. Lily and Andy are great friends and always play like they've never been apart when we get them together.

Well, that's it. Not much new . . . Scott recently got back from Hawaii for the Navy Reserve and this week we'll be prepping to hear from our living prophet and other leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints this Saturday/Sunday during General Conference (What is this?
