I wish I had a program that could collage my pictures so I didn't up with a lengthy post. But I don't. So here comes March.
- I finally finished Braden's baby book. He got it in time for his birthday. I couldn't be happier and wish the girls were done with the computer. It is so much more compact and no pictures will be falling out or worrying about damaging it. I also printed the first year of my blog. Only 4 1/2 more years to go. Just call me the turtle, slow and steady.
- St Patrick's day was not exciting but the girls built a leprechaun paradise/house to try to attract the leprechauns. They really wanted to see one. They were disappointed because the leprechaun didn't leave them anything. Thank you school teachers and parents who gave them ideas that leprechauns leave trails of gold and cause mischief in the house.

| You can't read the writing but there is a bed, outside relaxing chair, the pool was pulled off because it soaked through the paper plate, bath room, drinking fountain, hot tub, kitchen, etc. |
- The girls finished a year of tumbling and really loved it. I need to find a place for gymnastics next year.
- Macy had her turn with the class pet for a weekend. Luigi the hamster came to stay and I was afraid Kelsey and Braden would love him to death. Kelsey was a natural and loved to hold him and did pretty good. Macy was scared to touch or hold him. In fact I am not sure she did hold him. Kelsey always got him out of the cage and took him where Macy wanted him to go. She might have to get one for her next birthday.
- We put an offer on a home. Everything looks solid. The home inspection went well. The appraisal was okay, we are approved for the loan and the earnest money has gone hard. We close in 2 weeks but won't move until May 18th. We are going to let the kids finish out the school year. My head is spinning at all the things that need to happen but I can't work on because there are other pressing things such as a final activity for my calling, a birthday, a birthday party, and then a baptism. I get excited to have my own house, garden, and to move close to some of our best friends. I get sad when I think of moving farther away from another couple of best friends and all the people that I love around here. But no time to ponder on that.
- St. George for Easter break. We spent a glorious week of playing in the warmth. We hiked with family and friends. The kids swam and played in the fountain. We did go-karts in Vegas (way better than Fiesta Fun in St. George). Visited the strip for a bit to get to the M & M factory. Vowed to never go back to the nasty strip. We celebrated Braden's birthday and he had himself a St. George birthday party.

| He may sometimes be forced to dress up, but he has quite the shot and won himself quite a few tickets at the arcade. |

| Crazy hair day at school in the beginning of March. |
 |
| On crazy hair day it was also Kelsey's Kinder Cross Country. This is the car she made. |

| This is what happens when you have 2 older sisters that get bored. |
