Gabriella turns 7!

 Happy Birthday Gabriella! She turned 7! She got the cute dress she is wearing, some art and craft things, dress-up make-up, that horse from Grandma and Grandpa Williams, and a gift card to one of her favorite stores, Hobby Lobby, from Grandma and Grandpa Talley. She had a party with 25 of her closest friends (: a few days later but I'm not sure if I got any pictures among all the chaos! They decorated cupcakes, playing "pin the nose on the Olaf", played outside, chased Luke around until he nearly threw up, and sang to "Frozen", all Gabrie's ideas! They had a lot of fun.

 

She wanted a "Frozen" themed cake so this is what we came up with.  

  

Daddy, Gabrie, and Mommy, pretty fuzzy but it's better than nothing.

 On another note, we were in the process of finishing part of the basement and it got painted that week!

Easter

We had a lot of fun celebrating Easter! First we went to the city Easter Egg Hunt where I lost my camera and didn't get it back for a month. So the first 2 pictures are from that and the rest are from other peoples cameras or the Ipad which doesn't take very good pictures.

That afternoon we went to Grandma Williams and had another egg hunt.

Liam enjoyed finding the eggs and eating the candy.

Dash mostly just wanted to sit down and eat the candy.

After church we had another egg hunt at Grandma Talley's and then went back to the Williams side. It was busy!

Fun Days

Here are some fun pictures taken in March.

We went to the free day at the Zoo and it was a zoo! (: It was very crowded but we still had some fun. Aunt Miriam, Mamie and Rosalie came too.

Gabrie and the lion water fountain that doesn't work anymore.

 Livvy sitting in it (:

 Boys being boys! 

Dash likes to wear helmets, we think it's because Liam got to wear one when they were littler and he never got to! (:

Drawers are great for sitting in or using to stand in to get a little higher.

Livvy being a good big sister and letting Dash watch with her.

 Livvy's preschool fieldtrip to the firestation. The fireman taught them they should never play with matches, later that day Livvy said something about how it wasn't ok to play games where you match the cards (like Memory ), haha! Love the mind of a 4 year old.

 It was also St.Patrick's Day and Livvy's friend gave her some sticker tattoos. The one on her belly says 100% Irish!

 Liam  enjoying his cherrios!

 Dash loves his paci and 2 is definatley better than 1!

The twins getting into trouble!

Luke and Liam having a nap.

 This must have been taken months earlier but I had to add it somewhere, Dash and Liam playing the piano with Papa Williams.

 Cute little handfuls!

Bishop Lyn Talley

Earlier in February, Grandpa Talley was called to be the bishop of his ward so we all went to support him when he was sustained. It was very unforgettable! Right before they said who the new bishop was going to be the power went out and we sat in the dark for a while as they tried to get some power. Eventually they got one light going and continued the meeting.

Locks for Love

 After reading a story in "The Friend" magazine about a girl who donated her hair, Gabriella has been wanting to but I told her she had to wait until after family pictures were done so we did it the very next day.

Here is her before-

 And after! It looks so cute I almost wished we'd done it before pictures! But she is beautiful no matter what! We were so proud of her for wanting to help out other people by donating her hair. She is such a sweetheart!
