A pretty rose in my back yard.

We had Tyler and family come over for a little Easter celebration and had the
kids do a little Easter Egg hunt.  Grace was really good at finding the eggs, and
Sam needed just a little bit of help.  They had a good time and went away with
some Easter goodies.

A visit from Michelle and the New Zealanders April 2011

This is Macy's cousin Raven from New Zealand

After Julie was through with school in April, she and Marissa drove to Utah and picked
Michelle and macy up to drive the rest of the way to California with them.
Raven and Erana had come for a visit and stayed with Michelle while in Utah,
then came and stayed in our home for about a week.  We did a few fun things
and one of those things was going to the beach and riding on the ferry.
Michelle had so much fun having her niece and Erana around.  We enjoyed
getting to know them also, and enjoyed hearing the New Zealand accent.

Everett Arrives in March 2011

 Sterling helped with the cheese

 Stella put on the pepperoni

 And no visit to South Carolina is complete without a visit from Karen R.

 Tangled was the big hit.

 So in keeping with Tangled, we made Everett a Prince

 Everett's first bath

 Another favorite thing for Sterling and Stella, is doing the dishes

I'm glad that I can be with my daughters when they have a new little baby.  I love
spending time with all of them.
