The Frog Prince!

So, today is cold.... like 35 cold. I know all our Utah and Colorado friends think that is nothing but for here that is cold, and to add the humidity it makes it really feel cold. Taylor decided to brave the weather and mow the lawn anyway. We have had alot of rain lately and it made the grass grow alot. So, a few minutes after he goes outside we hear a knock on the front door. It's Taylor and a big toad. He found it while mowing and almost turned it into toad soup! The kids were very excited, Jaecie was a little nervous at first to touch it but as soon as she saw the camera was out and that here cousins Bailee and Brighten might see she decided it was time to be brave. Here are a few shots of her progress and Nathans well, non-progress (he just kept saying "I scared") Jaecie already had the fairy princess outfit on but it sure did make the pictures even cuter!

The first touch "EW!"
She is so proud of herself!

Getting up the nerve to pick it up!
She grabbed it and put it right up to her face for the picture, the kid has obviously been raised to pose for the camera no matter the sitution!
Here he is in all his glory! Our frog prince!
It's love at first sight!
A shot of how big he was
Nathan making a run for it when we asked him if he wanted to touch it!

She says she didn't really kiss it, that she just got close so it looked real.... I am trying to beleive her, it looks real all right!
After all the running and screaming, Nathan was very sad when we told our Prince goodbye!

Hi Jaecie! Brighten says, "I can't believe you kissed that frog!" "did it turn into prince?" "You are a beautiful princess!"
Bailee says, "wow sister.... frog princes don't come until you are 15... but you got lucky you didn't have to wait the ten extra years!" "and Happy Birthday...we miss you lots!"
