Stompin' Grounds
We took a quick trip up to Logan to celebrate our survival of tax season. We had a great time together swimming at the hotel, eating some good grub, seeing a movie, going to the park, visiting the beautiful temple, and walking down memory lane at good ol' Utah State. Here the girls are sporting their new Aggie gear.
Our visit to Willow Park.
Here they are by the "True Aggie 'A'". We told the girls all about the tradition of kissing atop the platform during a full moon at midnight. Mostly they were horrified and disgusted that anyone would do such a thing. However as we were leaving Logan on our way home, Mallory exclaimed, "Ohhhhh, we forgot to become True Aggies!" Cutest thing I think I've ever heard.
Since we moved to Utah County, the crazies here have brainwashed three of our children into thinking BYU is the only option...well, we decided to do a little brainwashing of our own. Here we are at Old Main. I think our attempts worked. Now they claim Utah State is their favorite school and BYU is second. We'll see how long the effects of our journey last.
A cute picture of daddy and two of his little girls.
I had Libbie take a picture of the "love birds". Not much has changed in 10 years. Ha Ha Ha.
Not sure what parent was letting their child roll down the hill at the temple ;).
A little excited to be heading to the pool.

Chicks and Rabbits
A whole bunch of my favorite girls on Easter Sunday. Pictures like these are priceless to me.
One of our favorite Eastery things to do is an egg hunt at Grandma's of course.
I guess Claire was a little left out of this holiday...maybe next year. Here's a cute/funny picture of her during the egg hunting.
The Easter Bunny left a trail of hidden clues to find the location of the girls' baskets. Despite a small amount of complaining about having to go oustide for some clues, it seemed as though they had a good time.
Look at the urgency in her face...so innocent and excitable.

Mallory taking the next clue to our designated "clue reader".
So happy the Easter Bunny really left them baskets.
Had to include this cute fishy face.
Here they are hard at work...making eggy masterpieces.
This is what happens when you ask Libbie for her "best smile" these days...I am sure she'll appreciate this face when she's older. She does make a cute crazy person though.

Fer Fun Fer Us
We had a couple of our favorite house guests stay with us over the last week. We had a great time and are glad they made the loooong trek across the wintry country to hang with us for a bit.
Grandma set up many and egg hunt for the kids. Luckily, at least one of the days they were here, we are able to do one outside. Super fun. Here they are eating their finds on the trampoline.
Mallory had Grandma and Papa play "just a few" games of Hungry Hippos.
A favorite tradition of a visit from Grandma and Papa is the nightly pillow fight. When we asked the girls what they wanted to do with Grandma and Grandpa before they arrived, their only response was to play Hungry Hippos and have a pillow fight. Done and done. I love their simple pleasures!
This Grandma means business!
