Easter! A little early...

Nate's mom is out of town and will be for Easter, but she wanted to do an Easter Egg Hunt for Karly and Adi, so she had one this past Saturday. That woman seriously goes above and beyond - she had 60 eggs filled with candy for 2 not even 2-year-olds. So guess who will be eating most of the candy? (anyone want to come over and take some off my hands?)

Anyway, we had a ward Easter Egg Hunt that morning in which Karly didn't actually pick up any eggs because she didn't get the concept and those other kids were FAST! The whole egg hunt was over in less than a minute!

Okay, it took a lot of work, but I finally got this video to upload (thanks to my AMAZING husband who knows how to google things like this :D). This video is SO Karly and so funny.

Until the video works, here are some pictures to hold you over:

Showing off some of her spoils.

It was a beautiful day and so fun to see Karly get into the whole Easter Egg Hunt. Thanks Kippy for putting it all together (even though I secretly curse you every time I pick up a piece of candy). :D

The Gimp

Last week, Karly fell while playing on a playground set near our house. She ended up being fine except for a limp for a couple of days (doctor said she probably just pulled a muscle). As sad as it was that she was limping, it was even CUTER to watch her do it. We tried to get a couple of videos of it, but I don't feel like they do it justice. Here they are anyway.

I {heart} Colorado weather...

...most of the time.

This was one of those times.

Kippy and I took the girls on a walk around the block and they grabbed each other's hands. These pictures can't even do justice to the cuteness. These two are best buds. We can't wait for the third Musketeer to get here next month!

Practicing fly fishing...casting...or something
This is actually a different day. On the first floor of our building, there is a woman with several cats and every time we walk past Karly looks to see if any of the cats are sitting in the windowsill. If there are, she will sit and watch them. Sometimes like this:

How cute is THIS?!?!

When Grandpa comes to play

My dad came to visit over the weekend BYU was playing March Madness in Denver. For whatever reason, we didn't actually end up going to a game, but it was so fun to have my dad come! Even with my new camera, I took hardly any pictures and almost none of Karly with my dad. I'm seriously a failure photographer.

We were actually pretty lazy while he was here and I spent almost the whole time worrying that he was bored, but I guess he mostly wanted to hang out with us and that's what he got so I guess it turned out okay! :)

One of the days we went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Karly slept for a good part of it and we made sure to save the part with all the animal dioramas for when she was awake.

I don't know why, but she has started smiling like this more often....
Saturday morning, we got donuts. We have, unfortunately, found a really good little donut shop not too far away. Don't ask me how many times we've gone there. It's shameful. Anyway, this was one of the times and we got raspberry filled donuts and powdered strawberry filled donuts and chocolate cake and raised donuts and a bear claw and a whole bunch of other kinds (we got a dozen...for 4 people...because it's "cheaper" to buy a dozen. No wonder I look like I do...)

Yes, that donut I'm holding is as big as it looks.
This is the only picture of Karly and grandpa. And Karly looks like Quasi Modo.

My favorite moment of my dad's being around was when I found him reading to Karly while she was getting ready for a nap. I love seeing him read to my child like he read to me. It's just too bad I didn't have any Richard Scarry books on hand... I have a video of it, but it will not upload onto here :(

These are two videos from the Museum, showing Karly's AMAZING knowledge of animal sounds. :)

Like I said, it was SO fun to have my dad around for a few days. Nothing exciting went on, just a very relaxed weekend. Love you dad!

Bed head to the max!

Somebody had a restless night...
