Riley's First Pink Lemonade Party

(Sorry, it's backwards....)

The little hostess after her long day.
The "men". Hyrum got in his little tie, vest, sunday slacks and everything. However, he wouldn't do the "woman" dance, and he requested "man" paper plates, cups, etc. He was a little disgusted that he had to use a pink napkin.

During the "woman dance."

We made wands with streamers to dance with.

Baby Ruby loved hers.

Adelia and Riley.

Remi, Adelin, & Emalee (I'm sure I spelled their names wrong).

The dainty meal.

We also enjoyed reading "Pinkalicious" and watching Strawberry Shortcake. I, for one, had a blast ;)

The EVENT...

The guests... The shoes...

The Decor...

The crown....

The EVENT of the year is taking place and it isn't even happening at the Westminster Abbey in England. See next post for details.

Why I shouldn't let Hy watch "Bambi".

Hyrum is a little bit sensitive. If he watches a scary movie, he'll fret and stew about it for weeks. I'm proud of him b/c he's not afraid to turn off the tv if something bothers him. When he chose "Bambi", however, it was a little different.

Me: Hey hon, just so you know, some hunters shoot Bambi's mom. (Fair warning)
Hy: Why?
Me: Well, they were just hunting in the woods and they needed food for their families. (Hey, Evan hunts)
Hy: Oh....oh I remember this show. (Big smile) After his mom gets shot, Bambi gets to go live with his dad. (Little cogs in his head turning as Hy contemplates how he can get rid of his own mother and just hang out with his dad all of the time.)

Oh my little man child.

Coloring the Eggs

Happy Easter from the Hon-yocks.

We woke up to snow on Saturday, so the Easter "Decca" bunny hid eggs throughout the house while the kids and I were in the exercise room. Hy had to shoot the eggs before he'd put them in the basket...gotta make sure they won't jump out at you!

Riley broke one open and decided to quit hunting for more eggs and just enjoy the one she got.

Today I attempted the traditional bunny cakes, but I just can't get icing on my cakes right. Kudos to anyone who makes beautiful cakes. I'll just stick to taste-testing :)

My favorite part of Easter was seeing Jeb's grave and knowing that one day we'll be able to give him lots of loves because of Easter and our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Twirling

I used to assume that I'd be a perfect mom for boys. Why? I could just send them out with their dad and they'd be good :) I wouldn't have to worry about female drama (screaming), trying to do a little girl's hair, or trying to be a role model for a daughter. But Heavenly Father sent me a little girl and I'm soooo glad that He did. Why?

Little boys don't twirl around in pretty pink princess dresses...at least Evan's sons don't :)

Boys don't say "Oh cute" when they see a flower or a baby lamb.

And boys don't steal their daddy's heart like a little girl does.

I love my little girl.
