For easter, the easter bunny brought the girls some butterfly catcher nets. Yesterday, we were outside and Makenna was running around the yard with her net, chasing butterflies. Needless to say, she caught one (with moms help)!
As you can see here, the butterfly was just sitting there on Makenna's hand! It was really fun!
For the first time in over two years, my entire family was together this weekend for my niece's baby blessing. We haven't all been able to be together for awhile, because one of my sister's live in Idaho and another has lived in Missouri for the past four years, but they just moved back to Utah about a month ago. So there has always been conflicts when we have tried to get together as a family, but this weekend worked out just right!!
Here is a picture of my entire family!! It was like a zoo with all the little kids running around, but lots of fun!! We won't be able to be together as the entire family again, for at least another year, because my brother Jonathan is leaving for Afghanistan on Tuesday. It is so weird to see how we went from a family of 7 to a family of 27 in just 8 years!!
This is a picture of my mom and dad with all 15 grandchildren, all under the age of 7!!
So I was going to do this post on Monday, but completely forgot! We went to costco and bought the girls life jackets for the summer boating trips. They did not want to take them off. They held them on the way home from costco, then put them on as soon as we got home. Here they are on Sunday morning, getting ready for church and still wearing them. Funny girls!!
Okay, so Matt's birthday is actually tomorrow, Saturday, April 19th. But I wasn't sure, with it being a Saturday, and we will be running around, if I was going to get a chance to do this, so I am doing it today!! Matthew Grant Hood was born at 12:29 pm on April 19th 1979. He was 8 pds 8 oz. and was 21 1/2 inches long. These are some pictures of Matt on his 1st birthday!! Happy Birthday, Hon!! I Love You!!
As most of you know, the Brady Bunch is on channel 11 at 5:30pm. We used to watch it everyday, then I kind of forgot or something that it was on, well I remembered yesterday and as soon as I put it on, so that I could work on dinner, they heard the music, looked over and ran to the TV!! As you can see Makenna was right up there with it, and wouldn't look away!! What is it about this show? I love it to, I remember even when I was in high school, they would have the reruns on, and I actually told a date that I needed to get home early so that I could watch the Brady Bunch, funny huh?!!
For the past month or so Makenna has been on an Indoor Soccer League! She has had lots of fun with it and seems to really enjoy it. I asked her if she liked soccer or dance better, and she said soccer. I asked her why and she said, "Cause I don't have to wear tights to soccer!" She's funny!! Well here are some pictures of her last soccer game, last Saturday!!
Here she is kicking the ball!
This was their last game so she got her trophy.
