Happy Easter!!!

We had a great Easter Sunday today! Very good church, an Easter Egg Hunt that Grandpa Gardner had for us, and then a yummy dinner and Easter Egg Hunt at Grandad and Grandma niece's house!
Perfect weather!

Lots of family!
Good food and candy!
Great Day!

Heaven just got better!

My sweet Grandma just passed away 2 weeks ago. She will be very missed.
She was an amazing women. 95 years old and living on her own, caring for herself until the last month of her life. It was really hard to watch such a smart, kind, and fun Grandma leave us. However, it is so comforting knowing where she is and knowing that she is so happy to be with Grandpa and many other loved ones! She was ready to go, and I am sure she is so happy right now!

4 years old!!!

I can't believe I have a 4 year old! Time just flies by too quickly! It is such a great age though!
Kaleigh has been obsessed with watching family home videos of herself when she was little. (We honestly watch the same ones a few times a day. aaahhhhh!!!) It is fun to watch how much they change and how quickly it happens. So fun to look at some memories with her though! She is such a good little girl!
We love her so much!

Christmas fun for 2011!!!

Christmas morning!!! So much fun having little children to watch on Christmas! It is really what makes your Christmas so much fun and special!!!

We got to go on a fun sleigh ride with the Gardner family!!! It was really fun, (except for Emma crying the whole time:) All the children loved riding behind the horses and listening to the bells around their necks!

Kimball Christmas party! The one thing Kaleigh looks forward to every Christmas now is doing the tu-a-tah (spelling?) which is a crazy weird funny dance we do every year!

And of course.... the gingerbread houses!!!! So much fun for everyone, and a great tradition! The only bad thing is that eventually, one day, we have to get rid of the houses and the girls are heart broken!
A great Christmas overall for the Hatch Family!!!

Random

The Famous mattress sliding down the stairs at the cabin! Funny to see my children doing what I did as a young girl! Our awesome cheap glasses we got on sale at Wal-mart! Kal wears her glasses everywhere!

Enjoying the Fall leaves! We spend hours throwing bouncy balls in the pile of leaves and the girls find all of them! Try it, it takes forever and you can get a chance to sit and talk to your spouse without interruptions every second!

We have been taking many walks up to the waterfalls in the canyon!

Been taking many little over-nighters to the cabin! It is so beautiful in the mountains right now! That's right! This child wants to be potty trained. We have been at it for about a month now. She does really good too! Helps having older siblings for them to watch and want to be like!
Now.... any advice on how to break them from the bottle?
Didn't work to well with Kaleigh. I couldn't get her to keep drinking milk after the bottle was gone and I don't want that to happen with Emma too.

Busy, but Fun Halloween!

Making Halloween cookies! Such a fun tradition in the Hatch Family! Its always a race to see if the parents can decorate the cookies as fast as the children eat the candy!

Carving Pumpkins at Uncle Justin and Aunt Brittneys!!!

Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch with Kaleigh's pre-school! Gardner Village with the Hunters! So fun to get together! Wish it happened more often!

Finally, Halloween night!

We started off the evening being very tired and immediately falling asleep in the car! Luckily, after a few minutes of Trunk-or-Treat, the girls were awake and ready for the evening! We went to eat pizza at grandma and grandad Hatch's, then went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Gardner. Then off Trick-or-Treating we went! Both girls loved it. At almost every single house, Kaleigh would run up and knock on the door with her cousins. The people would answer the door and Kal would immediately say "My name is KALEIGH HATCH!". Emma on the other hand, would just grab for their bowl of candy and start taking! She would not let us hold her basket either. This girl means business and does not mess around!
(We were all cracking up watching Em walk around all night. Her little bootie was not so little in her kitty-cat costume, and she could not stop jumping and running! So funny!)
