A Fun Day

It's not very often that I have the weekend off of work AND I have the girls :)  We were so excited for the sunshine after months and months of a dreary and freezing winter.  Even though it was still a wee bit nippy outside, we pulled out the new bikes we'd recently purchased for the girls.  Mike had to make some adjustments so they worked for the girls... and Avril's bike is still a tad too big.

Its nice to have a husband who knows how to do everything.  Bikes ready for girls to ride!

My kid at heart hubs

Weee!  Now let the girls have a turn ;)
When the girls and I went to Hogle Zoo, I let them each buy one toy at the gift shop.  It was no surprise that Avril chose a craft to work on.  Today we pulled out these butterflies with paints and paintbrushes included, and went to work at painting them beautiful butterfly colors.  Avril painted all 4 of hers and then moved on to McKel's, since McKel lost interest half way through her first one.  Avril was just delighted!  Love to see her smile.
My beautiful crafty little girl :)

Happy Avril!

Green butterfly, so as to camouflage with the plants outside.  Brilliant, Avril!

A more patriotic butterfly..

McKel gives painting a try... that shirt she's wearing now has blue stripes along with the yellow...

Cute, cute girls!
Oh yeah, AND today was Prom Day for Bret!!  How exciting :)  Bret took his girlfriend four wheeling and then out to PF Chang's before the Prom.  After the four wheeling his car was a bit dirty, so Mike helped him out with giving the car a quick cleaning.  What a great dad...
vacuuming the car

sweet ride!
Next it was time to do the hair... gonna need dad's expertise with that...
borrowing some of dad's hair gel...

So handsome!
 Short video of getting ready...
Look at our beautiful view of the mountains!  Its nice when the sky is clear enough that we can see them!

Whenever you try to capture a picture of McKel, she runs toward you reaching for the phone, saying, "I wanna see!" before you've even had a chance to finish taking the photo.  Such was the case here...
Meantime, Bret finishes getting ready and is all set to go pick up his date!

My handsome boys...
Had to get a few shots of Bret with his car before he leaves...



Looks like Mike did give the girls a turn on the swings :)
So fun to watch the girls play together :)
...And we wind down with some video watching on Mike's phone:
As well as some fun burrito wrapping up time...
Snug as a bug in a rug!
Loved spending the day with my amazing family!!!  Definitely a fun-filled day :)
