Kates 5th Birthday Party

cute friends!

Cute girls ready for kates bday party! We got Audrey a Tink costume for Next Halloween ($10) so it was nice to put it on even if she hated it! I dunno if it'll fit by then! She is into EVERYTHING by the way!!!!

Kate had a Princess Tea Party this year and had 8 friends over! Derek and I took JUST her out last night to dinner (Olive Garden) and shopping where she got this lovely new Ariel Gown for her party!

The Tea Party table (fruit snacks included) the plates were clear so it was hard to see them, but still fancy!

Kate and Maibel

St George March 2010

I decided an hour before I left to take a couple days and go to St George to see my family! Derek stayed to work so I drove all 4 kids by myself the 4 hr drive! Conner morphed into Derek and helped everyone in the car, even Audrey with binkie, toys etc.. and we got there in 3 1/2 hrs no stops! he is so great he never complianed and would help the whole time, even when he couldn't read his book! It was really smooth! And it was so nice down there mid 60s! we all got some sun and I even ran outside & got a farmers tan! LOVED IT! then we had to leave earlier than we planned because a bad storm was on the way, so we left Thurs @1 and got back Sat @ 11:30! Then I took the boys to Alice in Wonderland (loved it) and we came out of the theatre to a white out blizzard! So we were glad we didn't stay any longer! We saw Brant and Natalie, baby Evie is coming in 1 month! Cant wait! it was nice to unload all my old baby gear on them!

The main reason I went was of course to see Grandpa, he was given a 5% chance of pulling through last week and now they think he will recover! it was still hard to see him all hooked up and in a coma but it was great and very emotional to see him! he is 91 and healthy and strong so its looking real good! he was hit by another driver in St George and it caused a lot of problems for him he didnt have like kidney failure etc.

We decided to not go there for Easter (our usual tradition) because the ball fields across the street from me are having an egg hunt and we want o check it out! plus I have had my fill of warm destinations this month! Miami, Phoenix, St George (spoiled) so I'm good for atleast a couple weeks!
