Grandma and Grandpa's at Easter in MONTANA

Celebrating birthdays with Grandma and Grandpa was super fun!

On a traditional walk with Grandma we stop at "Lee's Park" to play for a bit. It started to snow on our way back!

The traditional band playing in a circle. This is a special Grandma Kirk tradition.

A visit to the Rocky Mountain Elf Foundation. It was a really neat exhibit.

It was a bit cold in Montana during our visit but we still did our traditional KFC picnic and Carousel/Park ride in Missoula. We've been doing this since Bryanna was a toddler. It's so much fun for the kids and I love the special tradition we have with mom and dad.

The famous Dragon Park

Another tradition is going to the Big Dipper for ICE CREAM! The sun came out for a little bit while we had or frozen treat.

Celebrating Easter and Grandma and Grandpa's is so much fun. Decorating eggs, finding our Easter baskets and having an Easter egg hunt in the forest!!

HAPPY EASTER

Snake River Canyon-Twin Falls, ID

The last time we drove through Twin Falls I really wanted to stop at the canyon and we didn't so this time I made it happen. If it had been sunny that day it would have been more awesome but it was still pretty cool! I'm glad we stopped.
It took us 15 hours to get home!

Bryanna's Birthday

I can still remember clearly the day Bryanna was born. She was born on a special day April 11th 2002. That day is my Grandma Donna's birthday (whom I never got to meet), my maternal grandparents wedding anniversary and my parents Temple Sealing anniversary. She was a beautiful and peaceful baby and she has since brought so much fun and happiness to our family. Bryanna LOVES animals, LOVES to read and is such a good helper to me. I love her happy spirit and I hope that she will continue to let her light shine!!

Bryanna had a book party with some of her friends. They shared their favorite books, made book bags and book marks and rice krispie bookworms. It was a great day!

Softball

We've been watching a lot of this lately. Bryanna started softball for the first time this year. So far she likes it and games start in a week so I hope she continues to like it:) She is a fast runner and is working really hard at batting and catching. Derek has been practicing with her at home too. Thankfully there is a park so Abby and Gracie have fun playing while mommy watches/waits for Bryanna! It's so fun to see my girls try new things and have fun doing it.
