 Looking for the otters! Do you see them girls?

 New Polar Bear exhibit! It was so fun! Here he is doing the back stroke! :)

 He would swim down and then pop up out of the water right at the window where everyone was looking! We all loved to watch!

 Brandon and Katie loved the bears SO much!!!

Checkin' out the giraffes!  Thanks Matt and Katie for inviting us to the Zoo. We had alot of fun!

SCHOOL!

 Taylor's 1st day of Pre-School!

 2nd day of school...just had to model this outfit too!

 1st day of 1st grade!!! I can't believe it!

It's back to school! Brinlee started 1st grade on the 22nd, and Taylor starts her 2nd year of Pre-School today! It's been a long 2 weeks for her just being home with boring old mom! (and yes those are red wedges she has on...a girl after my own heart!!!)

Elder Johnson is FINALLY home!!!

Last night Elder Johnson's flight arrived from Taiwan (from Taiwan to San Fransisco to SLC) at 12:15 a.m. It was SO good to see him, even if he spoke Mandarin half the way home!  The girls were so sad that they didn't get to go to the airport, so they made him a sign at home that I took with me. They can't wait to see Uncle Blake today!

The Girls sign they made!

Mom and Dad waiting....

Katie and I waiting...I think we look more excited than Mom and Dad!

Lots of loves, a few tears, and Blake had a 'deer in the headlights' look!

A group shot! 

The 'akward' handshake!!! (He doesn't get released until tonight!

Lunch at Ariels Grotto!

On Wednesday, we were able to go to Ariel's Grotto for lunch.  The girls were a little 'star struck' when all of the princesses kept coming out!  They loved it! The food was great! The meal expensive...the looks on the girls faces....PRICELESS!  (and thanks to aunt Katie they had their princess shirts and their darling autograph books to have signed!) Brandon was a little disappointed that Pohachontas wasn't there...she was definitely the prettiest! (or hottest in his words!)

DISNEYLAND

Our long awaited trip has come and gone. We had an awesome trip!  We were lucky enough to have all of Brandons' family there. The girls had a great time with all of their cousins, aunts and uncles and grandpartents!  We took hundreds of pictures...so today I will just post some from Easter...(the Easter Bunny found the girls all the way in California)and from the Beach!
