MS Walk

Amy volunteered and helped out with a fundraiser at work for Multiple Sclerosis. They had a bake sale and Amy stayed up all night baking for it, making cookies, cupcakes and a chocolate cake. I tried to help until I couldn't stay awake any longer. It was a huge success at work and they raised a lot of money. We then participated in the MS walk this past Saturday. It was fun to walk with Kaitlyn and walk with thousands of others for a good cause. We walked in honor of my Aunt Becky who has multiple sclerosis. My only regret is that we didn't invite Aunt Becky to walk with us. We did call her along the way though and told her it was going well. We don't see Aunt Becky often, but when we do, she is always smiling and positive, always wants to know how you are doing. She is a great example to us of overcoming trials and being positive, selfless and happy in spite of earthly challenges we face. It was a fun event and hopefully we can do it again next year.

Book vs. Yellow Cylinder

So Kate has a yellow cylinder that you put small plastic shapes in. This morning she was putting in shapes, she got a little bored with that and starting looking around. She grabbed a book and tried to put that in...needless to say it wouldn't fit. Kate started getting frustrated set the book down, reached in yanked out the shapes throwing out each one. Then picked the book back up and tried to put it back in thinking that the removal of the shapes somehow would make the book fit. It was really funny...smart little girl :)

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter! Kaitlyn enjoyed her basket and conference was fantastic! I think this will be our last year not having to hide the things from Kailtyn. I think next year will be trickier!



Kate checking things out...



Checking out her new shoes...she hasn't decided if she likes them.




Cute picture of Aunt Bev...I'm hoping Kaitlyn isn't doing what I think she's doing...



Kate's first colored egg! She tried to eat with the shell on...yikes!
