I thought these actually turned out pretty cute, so I bought the cd.  It was a great price too. Bonus!

The Newest Leahy Princess

Her name is Princess Ginger.  She was born March 8, 2012; and she joined our family about 2 weeks ago.

She's sweet, gentile, and has a cute little broken meow that you can hardly hear it's so quiet.  She likes to climb and loves playing with the girls.  And so far Princess M hasn't had an allergic reaction to her.  Hurrah!!!

She's even gentile with Little Mouse!  I think she's a keeper.

April Candids

Ok so maybe some of these look a little posed.  I don't know what the deal is with the rolled up magazine.

Aren't they beautiful?!

Easter 2012

Easter was great this year.  Everyone got the perfect little toy in their baskets.

Little mouse made a beautiful Easter Princess.

The girls had fun making Easter eggs with sticker faces this year.  I'm affraid the stickers didn't survive the egg hunt very well; this picture is post-hunt, unfortunately.

She Did It!

Shortly after returning from Utah, Little Mouse decided that it was time.  All fear gone, she just got up and started walking.  She was an instant pro, hardly ever falling.

I have a great video, but I'm having trouble getting it to upload.  I'll try to get it fixed soon.

Way to go Little Mouse!!!

It's April!

Happy April Fool's Day!

From the Leahy Fridge...

Alex didn't even notice when he opened up the fridge for the breakfast.  He just grabbed the half and half and shut it again.  I had to send him back again before he saw it.  Banana Girl noticed right away.  Her exclamation, "Why are there things on the food?" brought Princess M over to investigate.  Everyone got a good laugh out of it.

Snow Day in Utah

Since Grandma and Grandpa and Great-Grandma weren't able to stay very long, I decided on the fly to take a week off from work and follow them back to Utah with the girls in tow.  My Aunt Karen was getting married the following week, and we decided to show up for the family gathering.  We caravaned with my parents, and Princess M got to ride a lot of the trip in their car.  My brother and his family live close by too, and since my girls just love playing with their kids, we ended up staying at their home most of the time.

To the girls' delight, it snowed soon after arriving.  We don't get much snow in Arizona, so this was quite the novelty.  They borrowed a little snow gear and spent a good part of the day out rolling snowmen, making snow angels, and throwing snowballs.  It was fun to watch!

I couldn't believe how much snow they were lifting.  Those snow men parts get heavy!

Banana Girl with her Snow man.

Princess M with her Snowman (she actually pretty much made both, but she generously gave one to Banana Girl.)

Little Mouse didn't so much want to be outside, she just really didn't like it when I went outside to take pictures.  Poor Boodle!

All in all, the time in Utah flew by.  The wedding was a blast, getting to see so many of my aunts, uncles, and cousins that I haven't seen in just forever.  It's wonderful to see how everyone is growing and changing, and having kids, etc.  And it was great for my girls (and especially the youngest) to spend some time with their grandparents and cousins, and get to know them all over again.
