First Hike of 2013

Yesterday we hiked Waterfall Canyon in Ogden...it was beautiful! 

Made it to the top!

Grandma Allen's Bday - catch up

Grandma Allen's birthday was April 13th and celebrated all weekend long...here's just a bit of the fun that was had :)

We started with a "Tour Around the World" meal from Noodles and Co.

Maia could not wait for Grandma's actual birthday to give her her presents, so she got them a day early.

More dinner and handmade gifts from Maia :)

Handmade soap from Maia...

Of course she also has to open other people's gifts for them...

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Zoo Day - catch up

On April 21st we had a Martin Family Zoo Day! 

Here we are excited to go :)

All the animals were out for us to see...

The weather was perfect and we had so much fun!

Build-a-Bear Day with Mom!

Yesterday we had a Mom and Maia day.  Maia decided she wanted to go to Build-a-Bear and of course Little Miss Animal Lover picked a puppy!

Here she is "stuffing" it

Here she was doing the "heart ceremony"

Then she took her puppy a "dry" bath :)

Then we picked out some cute clothes and got her dressed!

and last but not least, Maia had to name her puppy and print out a Birth Certificate:

Welcome to the family "Brownie"!

Easter Sunday

Easter was a little uneventful this year as our house is in complete disarray but we still celebrated.  First Maia immediately went to her Easter basket...even though she was still half asleep ;)

Then Maia got all dolled up for church with Grandma:

Here she is getting ready for the hunt:

Later in the day we went to see Master Mender...Maia was being a butt while we were waiting for it to start.

We ended the night with some fabulous dinner at Olive Garden with family and a friend :)

Birthdays, Easter & Harlem Shaking

We had a FUN Saturday today! We went to Grandma Shell's to celebrate Dom and Zaq's Birthday with dinner and cake:

Then the kids had some fun dyeing Easter eggs:

and also got to open their "Easter Baskets" from Grandma :)

We also did our version of the Harlem shake which was a blast!
