Week in Review

Last Sunday Great Grandma Anderson came to stay with us for a night. She is a great guest and we love having her visit! We had a fun time catching up and on Monday we took the tour of Welfare Square and ate lunch with Kevin at his work.
Wednesday my new niece Bailee was born!

Thursday was cowgirl/boy day at preschool. Cora was sure excited to wear her pink cowgirl hat and took a my little pony for show and tell.

Friday we made it to the farm at Thanksgiving Point. The girls always love the pony rides and this time we saw some animal babies too. We are loving this beautiful weather! We also did a family movie night, we got Finding Nemo from the library and ate dinner picnic style while watching the movie. Cora loved it, and it seemed to hold Violet's attention pretty well too. What they really loved were the mangoes and our homemade oven fries for dinner, and they even ate the cheesy broccoli too.

Saturday Kevin and the girls went to the Salt Lake Bees games-- it was Cora and Violet's first baseball game! My aunt had some free tickets from work, so it was a great chance to see if they would enjoy something like that. They did pretty well and had a fun time.

Sunday we got to see this little doll in person...
Bailee is sure a cutie! It's pretty fun that there are three babies in my family who will all be in the same grade: Wes, Luke, and Bailee.

I guess Luke has grown a bit the last three months. He's certainly not as tiny as a newborn anymore!
Cousins, three months and one week apart.
The girls have been delighted all week to see pictures of Bailee on the computer, they were even more excited to see her in person! Shad and Jen were so nice to let them both hold her, and they were extra gentle (thankfully!). Cora and Violet were also excited to see Oreo and Butterscotch, they always have fun playing together.
On the way home from Ogden, we stopped by Kissie and Pata's house to visit and take a walk around Temple Square. All the spring flowers are out and it is so beautiful! We took tons of family pictures, I'll be posting them when I get them from my mom tomorrow and have a chance to sort through them.

Our week this week will be pretty fun too-- Keyton will be visiting! He got stuck in the states while in Maryland for work and can't get back to England for quite a while. It's so sad he can't get home to his family--Liz will be on her own for about 3 weeks and he's missing their anniversary and a birthday-- but it has been a year since I've seen him, so it is nice he is willing and able to visit us while he is stuck. And, Bailee and Luke can meet their uncle! Cross your fingers that he'll be able to get home soon!
