cats and kids and conference

To start out this really awesome post, lets talk about leah's bed head.  Her hair is identical to 2 year old Clara hair and this is just what her hair looked like in the morning too.  So funny. 
 Last march we started noticing how velvet was looking kinda fat.  She was about 8 months old and our vet had told us to wait until she was between 9 - 12 months to get her fixed.  But as we the weeks went by she kept getting fatter and by the first of april we had  baby kitties.  I called the vet just a tiny bit ticked to ask them about it and the cute girl on the line said, "well.....sometimes they mature early!"  No kidding:)  She wanted to have our babies under our bed sooo bad (velevet is an outside cat) and every time the door was opened for more than a second she would jet in as fast as she could. Then after she had had the babies,  me and b were sitting out on the grass one day and saw her carrying a cat in her mouth and sure enough, she had deposited 5 of the 7 under our bed!  Ahhh - she did this a few times and once hid them under a few different beds and couldn't find one of them for an hour or so.  Oh we loved those kitties and were so sad to see them all go.


 For easter and conference aaron and timmie and co. stayed with us.  This is aarons idea of  a cousin sandwhich.
 and his idea of flower crown making:)
 It was so nice to finally have grass (or the beginnings of it) outside this spring!  After last summer and the dust bowl we lived in, I will never take green grass for granted again.  
 We took turns on habanero before conference started.
 And this post nap hair and face are just too dang cute not to post.

 And last of all...on the monday after easter we had some of brandon's very best childhood friends over for dinner while Mark was in town.  Mark, Kelly, Brandon and Josh.  The amigos.
The end. 

little leah turns 2

This happened in March. Eek!  I'm a little behind.  The top pic is not from leah's actual birthday, but shows how these two spend a lot of there mornings once the big kids go to school.  Books and lego's and graham and leah are set.











 oh how clara adores her baby sister!

 We had the jacksons over for cake and wrapped up a bunch of clara's old princess stuff and that is about as good as it gets when you're two!  Happy Birthday Baby!
