Warning! LONG POST

It's been a little while and I haven't posted about a lot of things... And I've dreaded putting this all together because it's time consuming.
So instead you get a really long line of pictures with some blurbs about what we've been up to.

First. We had a Girls day out in Boulder City. Walked around, saw some antique shops and had lunch in the park. The kids enjoyed playing together and we all had a great time visiting.





One night while checking my email the kids were playing toys behind me being good and next thing I knew they were very quiet and I turned around to see this... One had a crayon and the other had PERMANENT MARKER!!!!! I freaked out because it's wood floor and wasn't sure if it would come off.
I used alcohol, fantastik cleaner and a magic eraser and it finally all came off. Whew!




We took the kids to the county fair. We had fun watching the shows, seeing the animals and most of all as Cyrus asked the whole time, "I want a nack!" (snack) We got cotton candy and snow cones. I was thrilled to see them by the animals. We'd never really seen animals close up but knew all of them from tv so to see the cows, pigs, chickens, bunnies, lambs, goats, pigs, chicks, snakes, peackocks etc was exciting. There were a million roosters and evert two seconds you'd hear a Cock-a-doodle-do. It was cute every time gabi heard one she'd say "doddle do".






We then headed to St. George for easter. We'd planned to do our easter celebrations on Saturday and it rained all day. So we had the egg hunt in the house. The kids didn't care, they just wanted candy!
Then that night we dyed eggs, and I believe the kids each ate 2 or 3 when they were done.

Easter Sunday

April 18th was Gabrielle's birthday. That morning Henderson had the Heritage Day Parade. We went and I told Gabi it was her Birthday Parade. We got balloons from one of the guys running for office and the whole time Gabi kept saying "my birtday". It truly was her birthday parade.






That night we had Cake and Ice Cream and Presents. I couldn't find my Cake decorating box so we just made a sheet cake and put ponies on it. She really liked it.


She got a baby that cries and has a carseat, diaper bag, and feeding supplies. She and Cyrus both Love it.



The next morning was church. Gabi got a Beautiful Dress from Grandma so I curled her hair all pretty and we went to church. Normally Gabi hates nursery but I guess that now she's 2 she decided she's big and can go. She went without a fuss. Also the rest of that afternoon she decided to wear panties and be a big girl and go in the potty.
All the sudden she's 2 and she's BIG







We also got to go to the Vans Skate/BMX demo. Metal Mulisha dirt bike riders were also there.




If I find more pictures of something I forgot I'll post it later..... And Grandma and the cousins have been begging me to put the Easter hat parade on the blog. So stay tuned to the Spears blog for that. Hopefully soon. http://spearsfamilynews.blogspot.com
