Easter baskets

The Easter Bunny came to our house and brought

Orion, Addi-belle, and Payson

an Easter Basket.

                                                           This one is for Payson.
                                       The Easter Bunny sure knows him because he brought
                                                           him  a marshmellow frog

                                                                 This one is for Addi-belle.
                                                             She got a marshmellow duck
                                                         and we all got a noise making tube.

                                                          This one is for Orion
                                          Orion got a word search book
                                       and an Incredible Hulk traveling tooth brush.

Albuquerque Isotopes Baseball

                                     
 Ma got tickets from her work for the Isotopes Baseball game for April 23, 2011
                                         It was a gift for the employees

 We got really good seats, only 8 rows up from the base.  We got to bring
everyone.  Orion, Addi-belle, Payson and Pa are sitting in the seats.

 Orion took a picture of Ma and Pa holding Addi-belle and Payson.

                                        The Isotopes were playing The New Orleans Zephyrs.

                                                          The Isotopes Mascot

                 Most of the time Pa and Ma had to walk around with the twins.
                                        They did not like to sit still for very long.

 There were a lot of races throughout the evening.  In this one, people dressed up
as a red chilli, and bottle of salsa, a taco, and a green chille had a race around the
baseball diamond.

                  We saw the race from the back side.  They had smiley faces in front.

                    While we were on one of our walks, we saw Marge Simpson
                                                      with a huge soda. 

Payson thought it was real, and he kept trying to get a drink

                                                Orion and Payson again next to Marge.

                                                "My, what curley hair you have"

Easter Bunny

We saw this Easter Bunny on the next street over,

and we could not resist a photo

                                                        Orion and Addi-Belle and Payson

                            Orion especially loved the Easter Bunny and kept hugging her.

                       The Easter Bunny had an Easter Egg in each of her hands.

                                              The Easter Bunny is built like a scare-crow.

A princess at a Wedding Reception

Last night on April 15, 2011 we went to a wededing reception for
a church friend daughter's wedding reception.  We told the kids that we were going
to go se a princess.

 First, we rode the elevator up to the second floor at the Holiday Inn Hotel.

 After we greeted the reception line which includes the bride and groom, we went
to go get refreshments to eat.  Orion is in front of the food table.  It was a small
appetizer buffet.

 The bride and groom originally were married on Bountiful, Utah, and held the original
reception there where the groom if from,  this is a second reception in honor of the
bride at her home town.  The wedding cake that is displayed here are three cheese-cakes.
Cheese cakes were also served at the desert for the guests.  Orion is in front of the display.

 We all sat down with our food.  Pa, Addison, Payson and Orion are in this picture.

 After a while, the twins decided that it was more fun to play instead of be formal.

 They got under the table and giggled and rolled around and crawled around.

 By this time in the evening, there were people sitting all around the table.

We wonder what they thought of so many feet gathered in a circle.

Bubbles, Bubbles and more Bubbles

 Macy bought Addi-Belle and Payson a new toy. It is a bubble gun.  Pa had to

show Addi-Belle how to work it.  First you take the bottle of bubbles and

screw it to the gun

 After the bubble bottle is attached, you just pull the trigger just like on a regular
toy gun, and hundreds of bubbles come out all at once.  It is really fun.

 Payson got it right away.  He kept pulling that trigger until all the bubbles were gone.

We had to refill his bubble bottle three times, and he wanted more, but that was
enough for the day.  Macy also bought colored bubbles.  We tried them too and
all the bubbles that leaked out and landed on Payson's shoes made his shoes turn
blue.  Maybe we will try it again when it is hotter and they can go bare-foot.
                                          

Eating Out

"This is OUR way to eat out" said

                                               Payson and Addi-Belle.  They are eating

                                                        pizza out in the back yard.  

Chick-fil-A

Today Macy wanted to take her baby twins,

Payson and Addison to Chick-fil-A

so they could go eat a fun dinner

and play.  We decided to go too so

we could have fun seeing them play.

Addi-Belle is coming down the slide.

Now she is climbing back up for more fun.

Payson came down the slide.  The slide is pretty long,

and this is his first time he has slid down it.  He was a little

afraid to go before today.

Now Payson is climbing up for more fun.

Payson decided that the slide is a blast!!

Orion decided he wanted to play as well.

He is following Payson up.

                              Macy went to get Addi-Belle because Orion made her hurry
                             a little bit, and she did not like it. She came down face first.
                              She wanted to go when she was ready.
                              Orion is right behind her.
