A trip to the Butterfly Gardens...

We had a great time going to the butterfly gardens! My dad was down for the weekend and my Aunt Tammy, Uncle John and Grandma drove over for the day to see the butterflies. There was many amazing butterflies out and James had a great time using our new camera to take some amazing butterfly pictures!

James, Mikayla and Dad (Papa) waiting outside the gardens for everyone else to show up!

Mikayla saying HI to her Great Grandma...they couldn't believe how big she was getting!

Pictures at the horse...Mikayla, Aunt Tammy, Grandma and Me!

Ready to go in and see the butterflies!

Having fun!

My favorite picture that I took in the gardens. James got a bunch of great pictures too! It is amazing the details that show up with a good camera!

Dying Easter Eggs!

We had a great night decorating Easter eggs...this was our first time and Mikayla seemed like she was in a race to decorate the most. I think she did almost all of them in the time my dad and I did 1 maybe 2 each. She was loved it and was amazed at how they changed colors!

Our little girl is turning 4...

We can hardly believe it has been 4 years since Mikayla entered this world at only 1 lb 12 oz. It is amazing to us the little lady that she is becoming. Everyday she continues to amaze us, test us and make us laugh!

Since she doesn't have school on her birthday we celebrated it on Thursday, Mikayla helped me make the cupcakes to take in to class and then I was able to take picture of her and the kids enjoying the cupcakes for her birthday-(a wonderful perk of being in the same building as a teacher that my child goes to.)

All dressed and ready to be the "Birthday Girl" at school!

At school celebrating Mikayla's Birthday! Her class sang to her and her teacher has a little cake with a candle that the kids blow out...so cute!

We are looking forward to having Mikayla's first "friends" party at PlayWorld next Saturday! Hard for Mikayla to understand her actual birthday is, since she started celebrating a week early!
