Easter 2013

We took Daphney to the community Easter Egg hunt for kids 0-3 years old. I think this years hunt was more for my enjoyment than for Daphney's. It was kind of cold and rainy but there were still 42 kids there. This allowed the kids to collect 9 Easter eggs a piece. Daphney was very slow and as you can see needed a lot of assistance in knowing what to do with those darn Easter eggs. One boy saw that Daphney was way behind and he was done so he quickly collected some and put them in Daphney's basket for us. It was sweet and saved us from having to do it for her. : D It was a lot of fun!!

Easter Egg Coloring Mess!

Weekend Get Away!

Shane had Good Friday off for Easter weekend, so we spontaneously left Thursday night and stayed up in Omaha at a hotel we stayed in for our honeymoon. They have a swimming pool and a sauna. We also got to eat at Ruby Tuesdays- it was my first time! Excellent salad bar. Our plan was to go to the temple on Friday morning that is why we left Daphney at home with the grandparents. But alas, I didn't look quite close enough to the website and the temple was closed for a week for cleaning. We were super bummed, but it gave us more time at the zoo. 

They just opened a new butterfly exhibit!

In the jungle!

He was wagging his tail so merrily 

Poor Shane walked his legs off and had to catch a ride.

That looks like the epitome of happiness

The strangest/prettiest bird ever!

Daphney Tales

I recently stole the pictures off of Jenny's camera. They show many of the grand adventures of Daphney. 

Daphney is getting to be quite active and I am constantly using the word "DANGER". But, it is fun to see her discovering how things work. She loves when cupboards or the fridge are open and attacks everything inside if we do not close the door quickly. I watched her this morning learn to open the kitchen cupboards that are down on her level. She does not quite know how to keep them open yet, so I am safe for another day. 

This picture is in Jenny's room. Jenny's room has become one of Daphney's favorite places to go. While everyone is at work Daphney will sneak away and sit in Jenny's room and I will have to come find her. I think she just likes how the pink curtains make pink shine into the hall, or maybe the bean bag, or maybe she just misses Jenny Jo. 

Dad recently made amazing turkey legs that he smoked in his new smoker he got for Christmas. Daphney loved the bone just like a little Flintstone. Check out his blog for more pictures and details.  

 We have been loving that the weather is warming up and Daphney now sports her new sunglasses often. She has made a new friend in the Jack Russel Terrior dog- "Chewy". Chewy loves to sit by her and be petted and Daphney loves to pet/slash hit her so it is great trade off. : D At least the kittens are liking the break from Daphney.

Jenny got Daphney dressed in this crazy outfit of tights, jeans, sunglasses, and camo hat. She is all set for a walk armed with her bottle.  In this last picture Daphney is helping us decorate cookies by adding the sprinkles. We made Easter themed cookies that were, pink lemonade, key lime, and orange flavored.
