Easter Pics

Here are some of the Easter Pics of the Girls. I decided this year that I would make their dresses, which ended up being a skirts. Brooks initially was a dress and then I got frustrated and wacked it off and made a skirt. Then I was happy how it turned out.





On May 5 we went up Cottonwood Canyon on a "nice" day. There is still soooo much snow up there. We were able to capture some wildlife. It was so beautiful. Cassie loved playing around in the snow without a coat, gloves, etc.


Lots of SNOW!!! Cassie was bummed that we didn't hike around - she is CRAZY. She said, it's ok it's pretty packed down mom. We won't fall through to the lake underneath there is too much snow. I am glad she is so observant but I was not about to test it out. Simply stated "maybe next time" (without mom ok dad). Love her to pieces and her adventurous side, just wish it wasn't so risky at times.

Lemonade.....

I promise I have not gone COMPLETELY crazy....well maybe alittle! We told Cassie she could have a party (this was several months ago) and in April we watched on the Disney Channel "Lemonade Mouth" well needless to say this was the theme for her summer party!!! So we had a ton of fun and wished we could have done more and she is already planning another party - involving flip flops and glitter nails and toes - let your imagination run with this one. It will be fun. So here are some of our creations for this party that is going on now!

The invitations

The treats...
Treats to go in the bags - lemon heads, taffy, lemon wedges gummy candy!
Lemon Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting
Treat Bags with each girls name on the label
Oh, and of course the LEMONADE - 4 flavors, sprakling peach, sprakling blueberry, sparkling pink, and sparkling regular.
We had pizza, popcorn, cookies, popsicles, fun, laughs, singing, dancing it was great to see Cassie in her element with some of her friends.

I love all this new digital scrapbooking - for .13 a print at costco you can do alot. Napkin rings (4 on a 4x6 print), invites, tags for the treat bags, so much fun. While I love my cricut and traditional scrapbooking when you are tight on time and some funds you don't have to have all the colors and embellishments of traditional scrapbooking. So excited for more fun parties this summer now that the weather is warm. I found our Easter Picture so I will have to edit and post those later!
