Magic Mountain

When it was time for Peyton to choose where Ryan would take her on her trip she decided on Magic Mountain.  She was so excited for the roller coasters.  The first roller coaster they went on stopped at the top and was stopped for 10 minutes.  Here they are stuck on the ride.

 Here is the view they had while waiting.  Yikes!

 Ryan was obviously excited to see this sign for a funnel cake with Bacon and Maple on it.  They didn't try it though.

 Ryan even let Peyton go on 2 wet rides.  Of course he didn't join her on those ones!

Peyton had a great time and hasn't stopped talking about it since she went.

Random Pictures

Here are a few pictures from the month of April.  Hailey had her first grade musical.  She doesn't love to get up in front of people so she never cracks a smile during the performance.  Here she is after the performance.

 Hailey absolutely loves to hold Addison.  She asks all the time and is upset when I tell her she can't.  She thinks she is so grown up when I let her hold her while standing up.  She is such a great big sister and is usually willing to help out with her when I ask.  She also begs to change her diaper and is getting pretty good at it.

 Lexi doesn't ask to hold Addison very often which is surprising since she had such an obsession with my sister's daughter Deborah.  But every once in a while she will ask to hold her and is done holding her about 1 minute after she starts.

I don't have any pictures of Peyton holding Addison because she usually holds her when I need to be doing something and Addison is having a hard time.  She is such a great helper to me and I don't know how I could do it without her especially when Ryan is out of town.  I will have to make sure I get a picture of them together soon.

Easter

The girls were really excited for Easter this year.  They enjoyed coloring Easter Eggs (I still haven't allowed Lexi to participate in this activity for fear she will break out in hives, maybe next year).  The Easter Bunny came on Saturday morning and the girls had to find their hidden Easter baskets.

On Sunday we got together with the Cardon side of the family and had a delicious dinner and then a fun Easter egg hunt.  Grandpa Cardon helped Lexi find her eggs.

Hailey stopped to enjoy some of her candy before it was over.

Here are the cousins who participated in the egg hunt.  They range in age from almost 15 to 2 years old.  Isn't it great that this is an activity for all ages!

Grandma Cardon was nice enough to hold Addison while I took pictures.  We love our bald little girl.  It is weird having a baby with so little hair but I have to say I am enjoying not having to comb her hair!

Legoland

One of the perks of Ryan traveling a lot for work is that he has tons of points on Southwest Airlines.  So he decided it would be fun to take a day trip to California with each of the two older girls (separately) to an amusement park of their choice.  Hailey was the first to go and she chose to go to Legoland.  They had never been before so Hailey was so excited.  Here are a few pictures that Ryan took from their trip.

I am so glad that they had such a great time and that they were able to spend some quality time together.  I am sure the girls will look back on it later in life and realize how lucky they are to do things like this.
