A visit from Grandma and Pops!

I have been busy preparing for Ken's Mom and Dad to come this week as well as having our missions conference at church. I have not had time to post. I will catch up later but wanted to post a few pics of this weekend. Ken's parents finally arrived at 2 am Friday morning. They were delayed from flying out of Hayden, CO because of snow and fog. They ended up missing their connecting flight in Denver and had to wait until 7:30 that night to leave. By the time they finally got to Charlotte it was after midnight. The girls were upset that they wouldn't see Grandma and Pops until morning. We did a lot of shopping for things we needed and then went to the Wilds to see some old friend from the Wilds in CO. I had my camera at the Wilds but forgot to take pictures. I didn't get any good pictures of Mom either. Sorry! This is us eating at Pizza Hut after going to the Wilds.

Pops with Abigail and Naomi before church with their pink puppies Pops and Grandma bought them. Oh! Abigail didn't have hers.
Naomi was finger painting and Pops told her to put some on her nose but then she had to give herself a mustache.

Then she wanted to paint herself like a clown.

Before Mom and Dad left, Dad ran to Lowe's and got us a much needed Lawn Mower. Thanks Mom and Dad!!!!! Pops showed Cheyenne how to run it and she mowed the whole lawn this afternoon!! Yea!!!

Abigail is still teething her molars and has been grumpy all weekend! Pitiful Baby!

A "Messy" Day

Today has been one of those days. I was doing cleaning and laundry when I heard, "Go show Mommy what you did." Always a bad thing to hear. Cheyenne kept trying to make Naomi come to me in the laundry room. I came out to see my beautiful little girl like this. She was afraid she was going to get a spanking and was embarrassed. I laughed at which she didn't like. She didn't want to get a bath so I washed her hair in the kitchen sink. The powder was a shimmer, perfumed powder. It was quit funny.

Then later in the day I had Naomi in the bathroom and thought I would try again to put Abigail on the potty. She has been very much against using the potty up to now. She fought at first but she sat there a few minutes and poo pooed in the potty!! We made a big deal of it of course so she would do it again. Maybe she will be easier than Naomi to potty train.

Happy Easter!

Friday I was trying to work on the girl's Easter dresses and Cheyenne was occupying Abigail and Naomi outside. They were having fun in the wagon. Naomi is a ham!

Easter Sunday morning and Abigail would not stand still. She was running before Ken set her on the ground. I worked on the girl's dresses but just couldn't get Abigail's made. It is cut out but not put together.

We have an Easter parade to show off all the children in the church. My baby with Mrs. Deborah.
My friend Paige and her two boys. Love the suit Kayson!
My friend Michelle and her sweet MaryGrace and Blake.
My friend Amanda with Celine and Carissa.

Naomi is acting like a princess. You should have seen her walk across the stage.

My Chey and her friend Nicole strike a pose.

Some others couldn't resist showing off their suits.
We had a great church service as usual. Cheyenne came out of Sunday School telling me her friend Moriah brought her cousin to church and she got saved in Sunday School. Praise the Lord! Then my Dad showed up for church. What a nice surprise!

While on the subject, Wednesday night a few weeks ago, a young boy, Brandon, was dropped off by his dad for church. In the middle of the lesson the Lord led me to go through the Romans road and talk about Heaven and Hell. Brandon confessed he wasn't saved but ran out after class and didn't talk to me. I could tell he was under conviction. I made his relatives aware of this and they talked to him. Well, he came to church Wednesday and after class while we were eating our snack he came up to me and asked "When are you going to tell me how to get saved?" Of course I said right now but in the middle of talking to him, church let out and my children were waiting for me. So I took him to his Uncle downstairs and He prayed with Brandon. He was so happy! Praise the Lord for a church were souls are being saved!

After our Sunday morning service we went to Mom's for lunch. It was delicious. We had chicken cour don blue, Stir fry rice, shrimp and I brought the green (Asparagus). Thanks Mom! I couldn't have had it here at my house.

It was beautiful outside and the trees are blooming. I couldn't resist getting a picture under the tree.

Look at this face. She is too funny.
Our family

Mom put some candy and money in some eggs for Naomi and Abigail to find outside. Cheyenne hid them. Abigail missed out on all the other egg hunts we had because she was sleeping for one and didn't want to for the other.
She's on a mission to find more eggs.

I FOUND IT!
OOOOO!

Go fly a kite!

I bought Naomi a kite yesterday and she was very excited to fly it today. First thing this morning she asked if she could fly her kite. I told her there was no wind to fly it so she would have to keep running keep in the air. She ran around for almost an hour. She has been out flying it several times today. She asked me if I could teach her how to get down when she flies her kite. I asked her, "What do you mean?" She said if I go up in the air how do I get down. Well, I assured her that she wouldn't fly away. That thought comes from too much Curious George! She still loves it.

OOPS! She just got up and brushed herself off and kept on flying. She didn't cry Daddy!

Pee Wee Pirates

Last Wednesday my Naomi sang in church with her Patch the Pirate class. This is the first 2 songs they sang. It wouldn't upload last week. I tried about 8 times. She of course is in the pirate hat.
