I so very much enjoy when all three of my kids are in happy, goofy moods. It doesn't happen all that often, being that one of my kids is like an emotional pre teen already, but on this day we were all in happy -go-lucky moods.
Abby was being sneaky, and as it turned out, learned a new trick. She's leaned how to use anything and everything to give her enough height to cause some trouble, like pulling pens out of drawers.
She was very proud of herself.
Then Madie decided she was a monster.
I know what you're thinking...she acts like monster all the time, what's new?
But really, this time she was pretending to be a monster.
Beware of those three foot tall, pastel dress wearing, pink fish pen eating monsters. They'll nip at your knees then whack your butt.
And Jared played a little game of guess what emotion I'm acting out.
He's very good at Pouty, don't you think? He practices it a lot. He practices Happy a lot too.
Then Abby decided to show me her one emotion she shares with us 90% of the time.
Happy.
From the moment Abby started crawling I realized she knew she could check out the pictures on the screen on the camera. I would take one picture, and she would crawl right over to take a look at it. Today she decided to skip the crawling step and just sit in my lap, expecting me to take a picture and show it to her right away. So I thought, why not get a few of us together.
I till need to work on growing my arms out another two inches.
I even managed to convince my mini pre teen to join us.
Jared didn't want to squeeze in, but he did want me to take some pictures of myself acting out whatever emotion he called out.
Angry!
Goofy
Normal (I'm so glad he thinks I'm normal sometimes.)
Silly face. Apparently that and goofy are different.
And then their tummy's called to them and we stopped the angry/goofy/normal/silly faces for snack.

Hang'n Out With Dad
I can't get over how much they look alike. And they have the same haircut.
Sleepy...
Hang'n Out with Grandpa
My girls love their Grandpa Jim..."Gam-pa" in Abby's case.
Yes, Grandpa and Abby are in sweatshirts and Madie is in a rash guard and undies. She "likes" being cold.
More Easter Flashback
Easter won't come if you don't dye eggs...
I discovered these awesome bib/apron/cover thingies...why did no one tell me these exist? I LOVE them!
Egg Head.
Not all the eggs made it...

Gam-ba
Abigale has a soft spot for her "Gam-ba".
She gets excited and yells Gam-ba every time she sees him.
She even heard someone say "grandpa" on t.v. the other day, turned around, yelled Gam-ba and looked around for him.
Flowers and People
I can't say I have ever made it to the Oakland Temple to see the spring flowers before. Here's a mix of flowers and people.
Get ready to say Aaawwwe!
She is full of kisses lately. Hugs too. It's especially sweet to us because our first two weren't all that snugly until they got to be a bit older.
Our best attempt at pictures with me and the kids. 
I took off my sunglasses and was practically blinded by the sun. Holy cow, it was bright!
More flowers.
More people.
The kids had tons of fun. Madie was fascinated by the fact that we could go up the stairs and find a garden on the roof. Except we actually got up to the roof and there were practically no flower at all. Whoops. But we were still able to enjoy the view.
