The June Haps

We started off the month with a visit from Grandma Liddle. We enjoyed spending some quality time playing, reading, shopping, and watching movies together.

The next event of the month was finding out that Makenzie was going to be a big sister! I think she looks a little terrified by hearing the news, or it could have been the gorillas at Rain Forest Cafe.

We also celebrated Kaitlyn's 4th birthday! It was really fun to have all of her cousins in town to celebrate with us. She was also grateful that Dawn was there to make her the strawberry-banana cake, shaped like a heart, with pink frosting and sprinkles that she had been talking about all month long.

And of course we had many days filled with ice cream, shopping and of course long days at the pool.

Happy Birthday

...to my little DIVA

We love the way you
have your own sense of style
know exactly what you want - and how you want it
remember EVERYTHING
love and take care of your little sister
tell imagintive stories
light up our lives

Texas

So we've been in Texas for over a month now and last night was the first time I actually busted out the camera. I just couldn't pass up this shot...

NASCAR and Indy Car in the middle of a pond...nice. Granted this is just right outside of the Texas Motor Speedway, so I guess what else should I expect.


Dan got tickets to the Indy Car Race for his office as an incentive. It was nice to actually spend an evening with (or just near) my husband.

Shaq was there too...He was the one who said "Start your engines"

My sisters also had tickets to the race so I actually spent most of the night with them while Dan was mingling with guys from work. Although it was soooooo loud (we had to wear ear plugs) it was almost like playing a game of charades

The APX crew


We're having a lot of fun here in TX and now that I've finally unpacked my camera maybe I'll get back to updating the blog regularly. But please, don't hold your breath

To anyone who still checks my blog...

Well really just the first 5 people,

I'm paying it forward! My cute neighbor Saedi posted this on her blog and I participated with the promise that I would keep the chain going. So here it goes...

The first five people to comment on this post will get something in the mail (or hand delivered) from me. Who knows what it will be, there are very few things that I actually know how to make but I promise to put some good thought and effort into it and make it as good as I can get.

The catch is that if you are one of the five to comment, you have to post a similar post on your blog. This keeps us all busy and thinking of others. Hope you decide to participate!!!

READY,

SET,

Easter

The night before Easter (Easter Eve?) we had a wicked awesome party at our house with Owen & Alyssa, and Steph & Nate. It included dinner, a bunny cake (also confused for a lamb cake), decorating easter eggs, and the BEST part...pin the puff on the bunny. The non-creators (every one besides me & Steph) were skeptical at first, but it turned out to be very entertaining. And not to brag or anything, but I did manage to crush the competition (and no I did not cheat)

Easter morning the girls found their Easter baskets and then we had to hurry off to Church

After a good nap we headed over to Aunt Cathy's house for a delicious Easter dinner and the traditional Easter Egg Hunt




It sure was nice to have such fun and kind family that lives close by to spend this special day with

quick liddle recap

I fall in love with this girl more and more each day. She is just so stinkin cute I'm only a little biased

Well this past month has just flown by so fast! We've hit up the good old Chuck E Cheese, where Steph won it big!

We took a spur of the moment road trip to AZ.

We got to see lots of friends and family although I have few pictures to show for it...maybe someday we will be able to move back down there so we can hang out more often with all of the fun people we love there:)

Shauna, Dawn, and Kaitlyn at my cousin feels more like a nephew Austin's first grade musical

My great Grandma Watkins....LOVE her!

And last week we graced the Monte L Bean Museum with the presence of a few overly excited children. Very fun, lots of animals, much closer, less walking, and better smelling than the zoo.

Here's to another month! Our last one in Utah before we take off to Texas for the summer time!

*I wonder how long it will take me to stop using my last name as a pun

And he had NO idea...

I was just going through old pictures today,
and this is what I found...
Kaitlyn's doing of course
