Easter Fools! - 04/01/2018

4/1/18

 This year Easter fell on April Fool's Day...so the Easter Bunny thought she would play a trick on the kids.  She wrapped up grapes in the chocolate wrappers and put carrots and oranges in the eggs.  Ha Ha!  What a funny bunny!

 Saturday we had a few Easter egg hunts to go to.  The first one was at the Riverton Park.  It's always so packed and happens so fast!  But they each got a few things.

Then we went to the neighborhood egg hunt.  Everyone drops off 10 eggs filled with candy for each kid doing the hunt.  The Andrewsen family hides the eggs before the hunt.  Every kid gets to find 10 eggs each.  They have fun looking around the neighborhood and being with friends.  

Temple dedication - 03/30/2018

3/30/18

The Jordan River Temple was closed for a few years to remodel and earthquake proof it.  Our Stake was in charge of all the events leading up to the re-opening.  My calling is a Beehive advisor in the Young Women so a lot of our Young Women activities and combined Young Men activities revolved around the re-opening of the temple.  It was a spiritual thing for everyone involved.  We went as a family to the re-opening/dedication.  Cameron, Mackenzie and Cade got to walk through the temple and see all the rooms.  They loved feeling the spirit and seeing how beautiful the temple is on the inside!  I love how peaceful the temple is.

 She was so happy Grammy and Grampy came to hear her performance.  She felt pretty special.

 Some of the soccer friends play Junior Jazz basketball during the off season of soccer.  Zach's dad coached them.  They had a lot of fun and did really well.  Cameron is getting more coordinated and able to get off some good shots.

First tooth gone! - 02/21/2018

Mackenzie had a wiggly tooth for a few days.  She decided today would be the day to yank that sucker out!  She did it all by herself and was so excited to lose her first tooth!

Turquoise hair - 02/17/2018

2/17/18

 Mackenzie has been wanting her hair dyed for a long time.  Today she was so excited to go visit cousin Lindsie at her school for her to dye her hair!  Lindsie was so cute and did a great job.  Mackenzie didn't realize how long it was going to take and how long she would have to sit there and wait!  First she had to bleach the ends blond, then she could put the turquoise color on.  It was a process but it was worth it to see how happy Kenzie was!

 She couldn't stop smiling.  I love this picture. 

The color lasted about a week and then started fading.  We went back and had it done again one more time about a month later.  After that we let it grow out and slowly the color was gone...left with blond ends.  Eventually a few hair cuts later and you could never tell she had it dyed!
